I decided to remake my Flying Scotsman model into a style more like my model of Gordon from Thomas and Friends, as they are brothers in-universe. I took Gordon and redid the boiler to use SNOT-work and revised the tender to look more like the one usually used by the engine. (although I must admit, the tender is not a perfect copy of the real world design) A lot of rework was needed, as some parts were difficult to find or not existent in dark green, although it helped that I have quite a stockpile of this color on hand, and an older Flying Scotsman model I disassembled to reuse it's pieces.
...and yes, I know the very front portion of the frame (the part over the guiding wheels) is too long. There isn't really much I could do about it, as I did try to modify it, but it threw all the other proportions off, so I changed it back.

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.
After years of robbing banks on a moped Larry Wells decided that he needs a better ride, equipped for partying long into the night.
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.

Painting and markings:
The choice between the operator options from the JetRanger sheet was hard, it included Sweden and Italy, but I eventually settled for the LAPD because the livery looks cool and this police department not only operates helicopters, but also some fixed-wing aircraft.
I adapted the LAPD’s classic black-and-white police helicopter livery (Gloss White and Black, Humbrol 22 and 21, respectively) to the Cessna and extended it to the wings. At this point – already upset because of the poor fit of the hardware – disaster struck in the form of Humbrol’s 22 turning into a pinkish ivory upon curing! In the tin, the paint and its pigments looked pretty white and “clean”, and I assume that it’s the thinner that caused this change. What a crap! It’s probably the third tin with 22 that causes trouble, even though in different peculiarities!
The result was total rubbish, though, and I tried to rub the paint off as good as possible on the small model with its many windows, the fixed, delicate landing gear and the wing support struts. Then I overpainted the areas with Revell 301 (Semi-matt White). While this enamel yielded the intended pure white tone, the paint itself is rather gooey and not easy to work with, so that the overall finish turned out worse than desired. At least the black paint worked properly. The demarcations were created with black decal stripes (TL Modellbau), because the tiny model left little room for complex masking measures – and I did not risk any more painting accidents.
Since the aircraft would be kept shiny and clean, I just did a light black ink washing to emphasize surface details and did a light panel post-shading on the black areas, not for weathering but rather to accent surface structures. No further weathering was done (and necessary).
The markings/decals come – as mentioned above – from an Italeri 1:72 JetRanger, but they were augmented with some additional markings, e. g. grey walkways on the wings and “L-A-P-D” in large black letters under the wings, to distract from the poor finish of the white paint around them…
Finally, the kit was sealed overall with Italeri semi-gloss acrylic varnish, just with a matt anti-glare shield in front of the windscreen, which received thin white trim lines (generic decal stripes).

Il 6 aprile 2016 gli Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, la rivelazione swing americana già fenomeno di Youtube grazie alla cover di Miley Cyrus “We can’t stop”, saranno in concerto in Italia all’Alcatraz di Milano, per l’unica tappa italiana del tour.
Un fenomeno ormai mondiale, con 200 Milioni di visualizzazioni su Youtube e 1 Milione di iscritti al canale.
Un tour che parte nel 2015 dagli Stati Uniti passando per l’Asia ed approdando in Europa nel 2016 con oltre 80 date confermate. Immaginate canzoni di Beyoncé, Britney Spears or Taylor Swift riportate indietro di 70-80 anni…
Gli Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox (o PMJ, come ormai vengono chiamati in tutto il mondo) sono una mini-big band swing a tutti gli effetti, ma con qualcosa in più: uniscono il perfetto stile “d’epoca” ai brani moderni di Beyoncé, Britney Spears, White Stripes o Taylor Swift rielaborandoli come se fossero arrangiati per Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland o Nina Simone. I PMJ colmano il divario tra le generazioni, suonando melodie a tutti familiari con arrangiamenti che intrigano tutte le età.
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...
Gotta lift R105 to connect the panel pot for EG Release. Also, behind that is R109 lifted to make sure only the panel pot controls that EG portion.
A David Pelham Flare but 50% bigger with a few modifications. It has a 100 inch wing span.
It has 1) additional lower keels (after the DoPeRo) with dynamic-bungee (a la WindWatcher) for easier tuning and to give more support in strong wind, 2) a drag-inducing wide "tail" for stability and slightly lower line angle, 3) three optional attachments points for fuzzy tail, and 4) stronger spreaders (skyshark400 for lower, 4-wrap Revolution 1.5 leading edge spar +10" for the upper) to extend the wind range up toward infinity.
First flight. Steady with a steep line angle and a hard pull. 10-20 mph winds at elevation.
For lifting cameras.
Commissioned by my friend Brant Snow, who was a big Ted Hogan fan back in the day when Hogan was a household name in the Toronto area; he even has a photo of himself sitting in one of Hogan's race cars. I was given an old, beat-up Hubley Fiat body and a messed-up Revell SP-90 kit chassis with a Classic 36D motor as a starting point.
Sometimes Mia is the goofiest cat....she just hung out on this box for awhile. Since she always likes to stretch her back legs out, I figure this is just her "modified frog leg pose with box".
Disney Store doesn't seem to like going all out on Tiana, so I did what I could to make her stand out. I added her veil, and soft net fabric to put over her dress and under to give it a full, magical look.
Also when I got her, her gloves were misshapen, so I turned them into sleeves. I like the outcome.

St Patrick's Cathedral in Ballarat’s church precinct along Dawson Street was built between 1857 and 1871. It was based on a design by English architect Charles Hansom, which was then modified by local architects Dowden and Ross and later by J. B. Denny who designed the eastern section. Reed, Smart and Tappin (who also designed Melbourne’s Mutual Store on Flinders Street) designed the decorations for the interior in 1891.
St Patrick's Cathedral is built of bluestone and comprises a five bay nave with aisles and clerestory, porches, transepts, side chapels, chancel and sacristies. It demonstrates outstanding craftsmanship particularly in the stencilled patterning on the boarded chancel ceiling, the stone carvings by Andrea Stombucco and the excellent examples of stained glass by Clayton and Bell of London, Mayer and Co. of Munich and Hardman and Co. of Birmingham.
The stained glass windows were introduced in 1883, the first being that in the Sanctuary. Following this were the Lady Chapel window and Blessed Sacrament Chapel window. These three windows were made in Germany and a slight variation in colour to the other windows can be noticed. The remaining windows were gradually added to, until the final one in 1910. Of these, the first was presented by the Loreto Sisters representing St Brigid. On the opposite side of the narthex is St Patrick’s window, donated by the third Bishop, Bishop Higgins. Both these windows have the Holy Spirit uppermost. The side windows depict the parables.
The cathedral is significant for its association with the important English architect Charles Francis Hansom (1817 – 1888) who played a prominent role in the Gothic Revival in England during the 1840s. A number of his church designs were built in Victoria, sometimes modified by local architects, including St Patrick’s Church, Port Fairy and St Augustine’s Church, Creswick. St Patrick's Cathedral is Hansom's largest cathedral design in Australia, apart from the Adelaide Cathedral.
St Patrick's Cathedral is also significant for its association with the leader of the English Gothic revival movement, Augustus Welby Pugin (1812 – 1852), through J. B. Denny. Mr. Denny, who had worked with Augustus Pugin in England, was responsible for the final form of the cathedral.
The participation of the local community in financing a church of such an impressive scale demonstrates the importance placed in the church as a symbol of the faith and identity of the Catholic community in Ballarat.
