In the mid 1990s Marshall introduced their stylish "Minibus" as it became clear that the low-floor revolution would soon extend to minibuses. It featured the 4-cylinder Cummins B series engine and proved not to be all that reliable, certainly much less so than the Optare Solo and Dennis MPD that followed. Chester City Transport purchased two new and a couple more second hand. They tried various things to improve them, the most radical being the extension in length of 247 (P407KAV) to accomodate a 6-cylinder B series. The elongated rear overhand can be seen in this shot at Chester Station.
The iOptron stock levelers are too short for my location, with not enough range to compensate for angles.
This is my solution. Drill out the blind holes all the way through, then tap with a 10 x 1.5 mm tap.
Installed a padded leveler and alloy knob on stainless theaded rod. The plastic knob tightens down against the pier leg to lock everything in place and eliminate motion.
1: I changed the red stud with a blue one, because it looks better.
2: I added a red round tile on each wing, these are lights.
3: I added a BrickArms minigun under the cockpit.
4: Here you can see how I did that.
5 and 6: To add the minigun, I had to make the weels a bit higher.
Hope you like it!
I modified this PN2011 in a few ways:
1. A cable release from an old Kodak folder was affixed to the shutter release. I originally drilled out the button and threaded the hole for a shutter release. The threads didn't hold though. The plastic was too soft. I ended up epoxy-ing the thing on.
2. I took off the lens cover paddle and hollowed it out. I glued a polyester filter in the hole. I chose red for some good contrast in the sky with B&W film. You have to defeat the mechanism that keeps the shutter from firing when the lens cover is closed. Easy as cutting out a piece of plastic with a razor knife.
3. The two paper clips and dental floss control the shutter. The top one resets the shutter for double or more exposures. The bottom one is the bulb setting. I glued a magnet to hold the paper clips and keep them out of the way. Also it gives the dental floss some slack so it does not effect the shutter speed. If you want a longer shutter speed, you can let the paper clip dangle. Not sure how much this adds without some experimentation.
4. I cut a window out of the back for a pinhole redscale mechanism.

I modified a polybag batmobile with slopes, tile, flames, pearlized gold, and clear crystals.
The batmobile is jumping over my ice hill. Of course, Ironman sucks at flying and Robin captures it all.
The Kato N scale corrugated Budd 10-6 sleeper came from the factory with full skirts across the bottom of the car. This is correct for some railroads like the Burlington, but not the Santa Fe. Originally, the Santa Fe ordered their Budd 10 roomette 6 bedroom Pine series sleepers without skirts except near the ends of the car. This is the room side of Pine Mesa, one of the Budd 10-6 sleepers that Santa Fe added skirts between the trucks. I cut off the skirts only around the trucks and left the rest. Then I repainted and lettered the car and added MicroTrains trucks with couplers. Here the sleeper Pine Mesa rolls into the passing siding at Cimarron NM on train #20 the eastbound Chief.
They are similar but different.
One is modern and cast. The one with the hole started out as an old school, bulge formed or “pressed” Cinelli lug from the late 60’s or early 70’s.
The long point on the Cinelli lug was fashioned from a recycled square cut flooring nail. The nail was annealed, flattened blacksmith style , then welded to the original lug and then profiled to shape.
The applied bronze fillets soften the transitions and allow things to visually flow together.
Each lug has its own charm and each one will look proper when brazed up.
Made of dark denim. The lighter contrast trim is just the reverse of the denim folded over to mimic a bias tape look. Took "Charlie Bag" pattern found on BurdaStyle website and modified it into a smaller purse with pockets instead of large reusable grocery bag.
Applied Building Block Dress Book techniques to the Teaparty Playsuit (and Lullaby Layette pants length) to make a zip up, quilted romper.

'Modified Halls' 7920 and 7925 'Coney Hall' and 'Westol Hall' are fresh out of 'A' Shop from what will undoubtedly be their last major overhaul. Even at this late stage, the finish of locos leaving the works was exemplary.
Been meaning to post these for a while. Still working on my photography and editing skills. Please feel free to critique those as well as the build. The tender houses the train motor, battery box and receiver.
