The Miniature Pinscher (Zwergpinscher, Min Pin) is a small breed of dog, originating from Germany. The breed's earliest ancestors may have included the German Pinscher mixed with Italian greyhounds and dachshunds.
Historical artifacts and paintings place the Min Pin as a very old breed, but factual documentation began less than 200 years ago, leaving his actual origins to debate. The Miniature Pinscher is reported to include the Dachshund and Italian Greyhound among its ancestors. Many historians and those who have researched the background of the breed agree that this heritage is most likely, adding the shorthaired German Pinscher to the family tree. The international kennel club, the Fédération Cynologique Internationale, lists the Miniature Pinscher in Group 2, Section 1.1Pinscher, along with the Dobermann, the German Pinscher, the Austrian Pinscher, and the other Toy Pinscher, the Affenpinscher.[3] Other kennel clubs list the Miniature Pinscher in the Toy Group or Companion Group.
The misconception that the Miniature Pinscher is a "miniature Doberman" occurred because the Doberman Pinscher (a breed developed by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann around 1890) was introduced to the US before the Miniature Pinscher. In 1919 the Miniature Pinscher was introduced to the AKC show ring. At the time, not knowing that it was referred to officially in Germany as the Zwergpinscher (little biter), the AKC referred to the breed as simply "Pinscher" and listed it in the miscellaneous category. When the Miniature Pinscher Club of America (MPCA) was created in 1929 (the year of the breed's official introduction into the AKC), they petitioned for Miniature Pinschers to be placed in the Toy group. The AKC's description, that the dog "must appear as a Doberman in miniature", led to the misconception common today that this breed is a "Miniature Doberman Pinscher".
The original name for this breed in the US was "Pinscher (Toy)" until 1972 when the name was officially changed to Miniature Pinscher.

Molly belongs to my sister-in-law & her significant other's miniature schnauser. A spry 5 year-old that loves to play Molly can also be pretty photogenic when she's sitting on her mom's lap.

Here's the little Space Pug friend assembled and undercoated.
Interesting how pitted the surface looks under the close scrutiny of the camera. May need to do a little bit of Milliput smoothing and there are definitely a couple of mould lines I hadn't spotted until I sprayed him.
Always the way.
I can tell this little fella will be a blast to paint.
Wonder what colour to do the armour?

Tabuleiro com textura de Dungeon (dê um zoom que você vai ver) para montar Dungeons modulares para RPG.
Miniature Novelty clocks. Use for spare parts.
Only Time will tell and every clock tells a story....
The problem with clock is, once you got two they start to multiply..
It all started when I acquired my first clock a 1960's jap 7-day wall clock from a colleague of mine by the name of Wong Mun Lai, a clock collector

It was a non-working clock which I wanted to hang up for display. After a while, I felt something amiss. A clock is not a clock if it does'nt work! So I took it apart and do some fixing, to my surprise I managed to get it ticking again ! I was totally fascinated From there I got my second, third and so on....
My favourite has to be the 400 day clock
Amazing time piece and fun to repair Next in line is those of the electromechanical design type
I love the working principles
At the time of writing, my collection is still growing....but has grind to a halt as my interest is now focus on nature photography

I'm making this charm for a "Starfish & Coffee" bracelet I'm working on. It's a song by Prince and the chorus line goes like this: "Starfish & Coffee, maple syrup and jam, butterscotch clouds, a tangerine and a side order of HAM" LOL! I didn't think a "side order" (slice) of ham would be durable enough to take the punishment of being on a bracelet, so I opted to just make the entire ham. ;-) I have all the other components worked out and this was my last hurtle. Soon it will be ready for assembly.
Crafters notes -
After 3 tries at making a miniature ham, the third try was a success. Yay!
First ham: was too big, bone is in the center of ham instead of off to the side and the color is wrong.
Second ham: Color of meat is better but the color of the 'fat' is too translucent. Skin and ham texture are better.
Third ham: Fat color is perfect, but just a tad too much texture on the meat. This will do for now.
