I decided to make some modifications to the Lego Superhero figs i got in sets so far. That doesn't mean i think the changes are better, that are just random idea's that popped into my head.
Batman: I took the old gray Batman, and swapped the parts with a new dark blue one. It kind of has an Arkham Asylum / City look now, if you ask me.
Catwoman: I gave her Wonder Woman's head, cause i think the smirk fits better and i don't like the purple lips on the official version. I also gave her a black ponytail so she can still move her head (i was going to give her Marion's hair) and a black helmet with goggles.
Tomorrow: the figs from Superman vs. Lex Luthor's power suit!

Seen on Route 66 in Cuba, Missouri. I thought it interesting that someone would add an asphalt shingled gable roof, regular windows and vinyl siding to a travel trailer. There is probably a good story here, but I don't know what it is. There's just no telling what you'll see if you keep your eyes open on Route 66.
Here is my just finished 1/35 scale IDF Centurion taking it easy in its earth revetment, in the Dulacca section of Sinai. It is another of my Tamiya kits self modified into looking like an early IDF Centurion.
Here is a new encounter with Collembola Fasciosminthurus virgulatus. Subject very very fast and acrobatic, rare are these down time.

The T-72TM is a relic of the cold war, either obtained following the breakup of the USSR, or purchased after the fact, the tank has been in service in Tarkhazia since 1991. Since that time it has received various local and Russian-contracted upgrades, ensuring the tank will stay in Tarkhazian service for years to come.

Here are some modifications to the 2023 UCS X-Wing Starfighter set 75355. The landing gear stand is the biggest addition, I've also made subtle changes to the nose of the ship and added an almost correctly scaled R2-D2. Free instructions and parts lists for all three mods are on Rebrickable.

The Landing Gear Stand provides an easy way to display the X-Wing on a coffee table. The ship doesn't need to be modified at all, just lifted off the set's original stand and slotted onto the positioning support. The gear are built into the stand itself!
As a seperate mod I've rebuilt the top surface of the nose section to give it a bit of a slope, hopefully improving the very flat looking nose. The side panels need some slight modifications to fill some gaps and I've made the nose grey, just out of personal perference.
The midi-scale R2-D2 is slightly too large but I think looks good next to the ship when landed! Huge thanks to Jan Woźnica for letting me use his very clever R2 design and make some adjustments, please check out his instagram (@john.carter.creations) and his awesome Tales of The Space Age Lego Ideas set!
Lately I have been building new trees and modifying old ones. Now the trees are planted on the side of a mountain I've been working on since late December. The mountain is constructed of 1" sheet styrofoam, paper "biscuits" wadded up from brown paper bags used to protect wine bottles, and plaster cloth. My mountain was designed to be removable for the ease of construction, maintenance of scenery, access to the tracks for cleaning and re-railing trains, and eventual moving.
On the lower slopes are Ponderosa Pines, then Quaking Aspens, Douglas Fir, and Engelmann Spruce. The latter trees are bottle-brush type trees from Heki that I've had for decades. All the others are from Woodland Scenics kits and components that I've modified to resemble the trees of northern New Mexico I'm not 100% satisfied with my attempt with aspens, but Woodland Scenics doesn't really have a tree armature shape or foliage color that suits me. My version of Ponderosa Pine and Douglas Fir is closer than most modelers' work. Bottle brush type trees are OK for certain firs and spruces with an overall conical shape but not for "pine" trees that too many modelers try to pass off.
On the right hand side of this view, you can see the cutout for my track, and the left side will butt up against the photo mural background. The pink styrofoam visible on the bottom is where the mountain drops into its slot. On the left front, part of the mountain overlaps onto the adjacent section, and a wide creek goes around the bend and disappears from view.

Today I fitted some bar ends on my singlespeed to see if they'd help with climbing. The bar ends went in-board of the brake levers on the North Road bars. It's a strange 'look', not unlike the expensive Surly Corner bar. A 15-mile road test went fine. Just need to rotate them upwards by a few degrees for more comfort.

The U.S. Air Force Honor Guard and the U.S. Air Force Ceremonial Brass Band conduct modified military funeral honors with funeral escort for U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Michael Collins in Section 51 of Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Va., Jan. 30, 2023.
After graduating from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1952, Collins joined the Air Force and became a fighter pilot. In January 1954, Collins joined the 21st Fighter-Bomber Wing at George Air Force Base, Calif., where he learned to deliver nuclear weapons in his F-86 Sabre jet. From 1959 to 1963, he was a test pilot for the Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. There, he tested performance, stability, and control characteristics of experimental Air Force fighter jets. During his career, he logged over 4,200 hours of flying time.
In October 1963, Collins joined NASA as a member of the third group of NASA astronauts. During the Gemini 10 mission, Collins became the third U.S. astronaut to complete a spacewalk. As the pilot of the Apollo 11 command module, Collins remained in lunar orbit while his fellow crew members, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, landed on the surface of the moon. He logged 266 hours in space.
After leaving NASA, he went on to hold such positions as assistant secretary of state for public affairs, director of the National Air and Space Museum, and undersecretary of the Smithsonian Institution.
Collins received many awards and decorations throughout his career, including the Presidential Medal for Freedom.
Collins’ daughter, Kathleen Collins, received the U.S. flag from her father’s funeral service.
