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.
San Diego Trolley's Orange Line light rail service utilizes this former freight line on Commercial Street as it leaves Downtown- for some time it had a few remaining freight customers that were switched out at night, including this one at the corner of 22nd and Commercial. The building still exists in modified form- parts of the siding remain as well although no longer connected to the light rail tracks.
Modified Moskva 5. Now f/147 (30 mm image distance) pinhole camera. Door peephole viewfinder added.
Double exposure lock, double format capability (6x6, 6x9) retained; simple internal shutter is controlled through the original shutter button with a cable release. The small wooden plate (still unfinished) serves as a "lens cap" and is intended to carry a frame for the viewfinder... Maybe one day...
'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.
This is an old USB 1.1 SD/MMC card reader that I modified. It has 0.1" headers for CLK, DAT, CMD, and ground, as well as a DPDT switch that lets me connect and disconnect CLK and the card insertion detect pin.
The 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) Caisson Platoon; soldiers assigned to 1st Battalion, 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard); and the U.S. Army Band, “Pershing’s Own;” conduct modified military funeral honors with funeral escort for U.S. Army Special Forces Staff Sgt. Ronald J. Shurer II in Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia, October 27, 2020.
Shurer was awarded the Medal of Honor October 1, 2018, for his actions as a Green Beret medic with 3rd Special Forces Group during the Battle of Shok Valley in northeastern Afghanistan April 6, 2008. He was part of a team sent to capture or kill several high-value members of the Hezb-e Islami al Gulbadin militant group.
Shurer received his bachelor’s degree in business economics from Washington State University where he stayed on to work towards a master’s degree. However, after the Sept. 11th attacks happened, Shurer (inspired by his parents who were both in the Air Force) joined the Army on Nov. 21, 2002.
Two years after enlisting, Shurer began Special Forces training to become a Green Beret. He passed the qualification course in June 2006 and was assigned to the 3rd Special Forces Group.
Shurer deployed to Afghanistan from August 2006 to March 2007, then again from October 2007 to May 2008. It was during that second deployment that he earned his Medal of Honor.
Shurer passed away May 14, 2020, at the age of 41. He is survived by his wife and two sons.

few ideas, and all well confused.
so, yesterday I decided that I didn't need the torso to be badly splitted in half. I still want it split in 3 parts, so I've decided to remove everything between the breasts and the hips and redo it from the beginning.
first joint under the breasts, second joint at the hips.
I've never been overly fond of the hip joint, but I do want a nice belly... and it seemed a good idea to settle for this.
also modified the hip-legs double joint, to avoid showing off the ball joint openings...
fff.
I hate myself XD
