Mmmmm, pencil eraser... It actually works! I fudged up a few heads, but some turned out really well!
Who can guess what heads these were?
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.
Detail of the base of an Ionic column from the Tetrastyle Temple (also known as the Tempio della Sibilla), Tivoli, Italy.
Date: late second century BCE.
Material: travertine base and column drums, which were covered with a layer of stucco.
Inset drawing modified from R. Delbrück, Hellenistische Bauten in Latium (Strassburg 1912).
Compare to the travertine Ionic base from the Temple of Portunus in Rome, perhaps a slightly later date by 25-50 years (note, for example, the difference in the carving of the lower terminus of the fluting):

Since I really want the doll to be accurate to the movie and to the first edition of the doll released, I decided to add in the vines, change the leaves, add in layers to her dress accordingly to the movie.

Features 50 Cal. machine gun, Ice chest rack and built in BBQ.
Apologies to Proudlove for blatantly stealing his truck idea.
The rack I bought to carry my bags turned out to be a disaster. It is impossible to prevent it from pivoting around the seatpost and it does not guard the bags from rubbing the wheel. Additional struts provide a solution.
I could have bought a proper rack with its own struts, but the bags attached to a standard rack hang too low and I hit them with my heels while pedaling. So my home-made struts provide a solution to that as well.

So the rabbet-plane-with-rip-fence idea didn't work very well and I ended up drilling holes in a cheap block plane and sticking a rod through them, as suggested in the plans. I drilled freehand and it worked just fine.

Now accepting 100mm bottom bracket widths. The score line was the relief where the previous shoulder ended. Had to remove 10mm...
Captain Thunder's first submission for the competition is believed to be a heavily modifed Orion-Class Pneumatic Fighter, as evidenced by the exhaust tubes that make up the main frame.
The Orion-Class fighters, long-outdated and considered now a "failed experiment", were known for their immense engine stability (running on compressed air circulating continually through their large exhaust tubes), but weaknesses in almost all other areas. It lacked any kind of offense system, and its bizarre mainframe made it difficult to incorporate any tracking system or defense mechanisms, leaving it basically useless as an actual fighter.
In modifying the ship, Thunder appears to have ditched the main frame in favor of a more traditional set-up, as well as modifying the central circuitry boards and affixing laser cannons on the sides of the ship. The...inventive paint job appears to be his contribution as well. Thunder informs us he has nicknamed his creation "Packrat".

Pronghorn, Bitterwater Road, San Luis Obispo County, CA
Though not an antelope, the Pronghorn is often known colloquially in North America as the prong buck, pronghorn antelope, or simply antelope, because it closely resembles the true antelopes of the Old World
During the spring months, Pronghorn females split off from the herd and it is quite common to see a solitary animal, male or female. By May and June, the females begin to give birth to their fawns. Mothers and babies will usually stay by themselves or with other females through the summer, grouping up later with males to form herds again in the fall.
Like other even-toed hoofed animals, pronghorns chew cud—their own partially digested food. They are not grass eaters but prefer to browse on forbs: those leafy, green annual plants that are not grasses.
Pronghorn do not jump fences but usually duck underneath, most fences on the monument have been modified to make passage underneath easier to navigate.
The Pronghorn is the second fastest land mammal in the world, after the cheetah. It can attain speeds of over 53 miles (86 kilometers) per hour, leaving pursuing coyotes and bobcats in the dust. Pronghorns are also great distance runners that can travel for miles at half that speed.
Pronghorns are about three feet (one meter) tall at the shoulders. They are reddish brown, but feature white stomachs and wide, white stripes on their throats. When startled they raise the hair on their rumps to display a white warning patch that can be seen for miles.
Both sexes sport impressive, backward-curving horns. The horns split to form forward-pointing prongs that give the species its name. Some animals have horns that are more than a foot (30 centimeters) long.

These feet belong to Doll-in-Mind Lalia's SD sized girl body. They were too big for almost all of my shoe stash so I modified them smaller. The result was excellent. The full tutorial is on my blog www.MadWifeInTheAttic.com.
