I was very impressed by picture of miniatures from “4Esquinas”. For me, it was pretty nice idea to gather most of my origami models in one composition. In cooperation with origamiru (Andrey Ermakov) and Finwych (Yaroslav Terehov) we tried to create a rough CP for the Noah's ark. As a result of our efforts, I am sharing pictures of my own Noah’s Ark. New models of animals will be added to composition as completed.

A miniature vase owned by the Medici family, on display at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.
The vase itself is agate, carved between 1 and 100 AD in Italy by an unknown artisan.
The base and handles are emeralds, enamel, gold, and rubies, and were added by an unknown artisan between 1550 and 1589 for the Medici family.
Replacement and conservation work was done in the late 1700s.
The vase was gifted to the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy, in 1743 by the last Medici heir.

Finished the Lindo Guapo 32mm miniature, by Freebooter Miniatures.
Enjoyed painting him, though I was going a bit goggle-eyed at all the freehand patterning by the end!
Got him done just in time for Salute, where he got through to the final round of judging.

Detail from the Model coffin of the type CG51002, made of wood, decorated in gilt plaster on a background of pitch. The eyes are inlaid, the outer line is of copper, but the schminkstrich(? paint?) of blue glass. The inner part of the eye of black glass and white marble as in the large coffins. Below the guilt vulture on the breast is a vertical band of inscription, the name of the deceased can be found, Yuya.
The coffin is black inside and it was found empty, but once contained an object wrapped in papyrus, for slips of this material still adhere to the pitch.

Taken at Great Central Railway 1940's Weekend
This is a photograph of a miniature railway at the Amusement Park, South Shields, August 1950.
Reference: DT.TUR/2/5197M
This photograph is part of a set that has been created to celebrate the opening of South Tyneside Council’s new leisure centre, Haven Point, on 28 October. It focuses in particular on life along the foreshore at South Shields during the 1950s but also includes a few images from further down the coast.
South Shields has long been a popular seaside resort and also has a proud industrial heritage. Times have changed, though, and many of the old industries such as shipbuilding and coal mining have disappeared. Rather than stand still and accept this change in fortunes, South Tyneside Council is pressing ahead with an ambitious vision to transform the Foreshore, Town Centre and Riverside areas into vibrant destinations. Haven Point is a key part of this change.
Tyne & Wear Archives and South Tyneside Local Studies Library have a vital role to play in this. As South Shields is regenerated and forever changed the Archives and Local Studies serve as its memory. We keep alive a window into the town’s past, preserving the history of people, places and industries that no longer exist. South Shields must look forward but its sense of direction will be lost if it forgets where it came from.
These images, together with a fantastic selection from South Tyneside Local Studies Library, can be seen in a digital exhibition at Haven Point. You can also see images from the Local Studies Library online at www.southtynesideimages.org.uk/.

The Exmouth Miniature Railway was located next door to the famous model railway on the seafront and ran from 1950 to 2015. It was originally steam powered but in 1968 this huge petrol loco arrived after being swapped for the Curwen 0-4-2 steamer. It was built by G. Densham and had previously seen use on his private North Tawton Railway in Devon.
By the 1970s the line was being operated with equipment from Shepperton Metal Products and this lasted up until closure.
