After Brickworld I've made a few upgrades to some of my builds.
I've rearranged my PL's so that they are on the sides of the tracks, which is prototypically correct.

Just a note, my son is "posing," he's a very happy kid! He's a natural model.
I should use my 85mm f/1.2 more often. Works well indoors with somewhat stationary subjects :-)
From the department of redundancy department. I've "posted" this fence before. This time through, I'm liking the way the wood's texture stands out in the snow. By the way, we've had some warm days since the blizzard. The snow is melting and running off quickly! Happy Fence Friday!

Post-Apocalyptic Survival Outpost
Located off the Texas Coast
I have always wanted to build a post-apocalyptic diorama but I didn't want to recreate the usual dio of dilapidated structures and cities in ruins.
In almost every apocalyptic scenario, the cities usually are the first place survivors head due to large amounts of supplies, weapons, non-perishable food, and the possibility of finding other survivors. However, urban areas are usually hit the hardest in any apocalypse. Large amounts of destruction, lack of electricity, presence of outlaw gangs, and other dangers await survivors that hope to find shelter in the metropolis.
With this in mind, where would you turn to find sustainable safety and security for a group of survivors? The county side? Rural towns? The coast?
A while back, I was out fishing near some gas and oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. I thought to myself, "why not build a survival outpost on rig a mile off the coast?"

Offshore structures can provide all of the 5 resources required to survive.
Water - A basic desalinization devise along with large amounts of coastal rainfall would provide all the fresh water required
Food - Sea life of all kinds can be acquired near offshore rigs. The structure creates cooler water with shade from the sun and the underwater structure acts as a natural reef which attracts bait and then predators. Crustaceans and shellfish can be collected from the surrounding waters. The tropical climate makes for great greenhouse conditions.
Shelter - A roof and walls offer a place to keep supplies dry and a refuge from the elements.
Protection - Being offshore, the risk of attack is reduced. Survivors are better able to detect possible threats and react accordingly. The near proximity to the shore also makes trips to the mainland feasible. And of course, lots of guns.
Energy - With an almost infinite supply of natural gas and wind, you could power almost anything using natural gas engine conversions and wind generators.
Day 101 - Post-Apoc Biker
I'm still catching up on photos, but thought I'd post them as I get some done. I have around 35 figures to pose and take images of, so it'll be a little time!
Well, this weekend I will be opening my store, and this is a little hint at one item that will be added to my inventory ;) This design will not be available, however, I have plenty more where that came from! Hope you enjoy!
