The following recreated zulu dwelling is on display in the Ondini KwaZulu Cultural Museum, in Ulindi, near where Cetshwayo's one-time capital, Ondini, was destroyed.
The raised area at the back of the dwelling is known as the Usamo, and it is here that pots and utensils are stored. This is also the sacred area of the dwelling and it was beleived that the spirits of the ancestors lived here. In the centre of the dwelling the hearth is housed, and if occupied a fire would burn continuously. The smoke of the fire would raise up and pass through the thatched roof, serving not only to strengthen the thatch but keep the thatch clean of insects etc.
The women slept on the left and the man on the right. If the man felt like some nookie, he would wait for the kids to sleep and then tap his wife on the ankles with a long stick. His wife would dutifully cross over to his side, return to her side once the fun ends. (Whats happened to old time values?)

No 2999 “Lady of Legend” is a recreated Saint Class locomotive of the type introduced by the Great Western Railway in 1902.
The innovative, outside cylinder design was the work of George Churchward, the GWR’s newly-appointed Locomotive Superintendent and incorporated features such as long-travel valves which greatly increased efficiency.
The Saint class performed extremely well, and the design formed the basis for the period of standardisation on the GWR that lasted nearly 50 years until the railways were nationalised in 1948.
The scheme centred on rebuilding No 4942 “Maindy Hall” from scrapyard condition and reverse engineering the locomotive to create a Saint. This mirrored the process the GWR had used in 1925 when the prototype Hall Class was produced by the conversion of “Saint Martin”.
Major new components that have been manufactured include three new driving wheel sets, as the Halls had 6ft drivers while the high stepping Saints sported driving wheels of 6ft 8½in diameter. Two bogie wheel sets were cast to the correct 3ft 2in size and two identical 'half' cylinder blocks were cast to recreate the inside cylinders fed by a straight steam pipe that was integral to the Saint design. The lever reverse was also made from scratch while the frames from No. 4942 were extensively modified and strengthened.
Many other components, including the boiler, were refurbished, while still more came from surviving parts from other GWR locomotives – further testament to the far-sighted Swindon practice of standardisation. Parts include a connecting rod from 2906 “Lady of Lynn” and the whistle from 2910 “Lady of Shalott” and the chimney from a 68XX Class.

HSS.........the ANSH scavenger item was to find a piece of art and recreate it and the admins gave us a great google link with many schools of art to inspire us. i perused many possibilities and then came across something by Douglas Coupland who took his inspiration for his work from Piet Mondrian. (see the first comment box or the next picture in the photostream for his painting.)
so i set out. the QR code i used was from a piece of paper for an artist who works in glass. if you look at the first comment box, you'll see that the lines were not nicely even, so that was my first task-- no, my first task was to teach myself how to make squares and rectangles in the post processing app picmonkey.
and so i began making colorful squares that sort of emulated Coupland. my QR code doesn't have as many elements but i worked with fewer and had a lovely time on friday night straightening lines and placing geometric forms until..........
(ominous music here) the program froze (brrr)!!! i tried everything and cursed myself for not saving often. i finally had to shut down my laptop and reboot. when i was able to get back into picmonkey and see, the program had saved a large portion of my work but the middle 1/4 was a black hole-- literally (and figuratively).
so on saturday i forged onward and figured out a way to recover the middle section by putting the original and the partial one side by side and cloning the lines in the middle. then i commenced to straightening and adding and saving, every ten minutes or so. 12 interations. there is more i could have done but you finally have to say, this is it.
what you see above represents 2 days, innumerable hours, patience, tenacity, and a just plain mule stubborn attitude. but i am pretty proud of what i did :)

Recreating the final BR Mainline steam hauled service, 1T57 'Fifteen Guinea Special', 'Oliver Cromwell' catches a brief glimpse of sunlight over the bleak terrain of Blea Moor 45 Years on from the 1968 run, in 2013.
Today, when uploading, the date marks the 48th Anniversary since the curtain call. Running from Liverpool, via Manchester, to Carlisle and return; the original run saw the very same locomotive handle the very same leg Northbound over the Settle and Carlisle to the latter as a destination. And it's amazing that we can recreate such scenes in preservation.
Hurray! #19 on Explore, Sunday 9/30/07
I was trying hard this flight to capture the changing light in the sky and the whole sky was glowing with this bright pink and the other half below was darker. . .well I was worried I might have missed the best shot, but this one seems to have captured the beauty that was in a rare sunset this evening. I did enhance saturation, color, contrast as best I could to recreate the impact of this spectacular sunset.

Class 37, brake tender and vans, all presented by the Great Central Railway. what a great job they do. location is the very well known Kinchley Lane at the 2023 autumn gala.
It's International Lego Classicist Day 2021 and this is my contribution for this year!
Ramses II. on his war chariot at the Battle of Kadesh, accompanied by archer and cheetah. The depiction of the scene is a blend between two motives.
The stylistic approach tries to recreate this image of Ramses, with hieroglyphs, cheetah and archer. While the position of the horses - to be more visible - is taken from a second image. The hieroglyphs between Ramses and the horses were spared out for artistic reasons, to have a cleaner look.

More images and details of the war chariot will follow the next days.
Happy ILCD 2021! 😊

A Russ Hillier photo charter of 14.4.2011 on the GCR with two GWR heavy freight 2-8-0 locomotives, numbers 2807 and 3850 recreating a common scene from the 1950's. Photo taken in the cutting north of Rothley station.
Recreating a scene which could easily have been taken 30 years ago are three superbly turned out former Northern General buss: nearest to the camera, an MCW Mk2 Metrobus, then an ECW bodied Leyland Olympian and on the end a Roe bodied Leyland Atlantean. The former bus station is used as a car park these days.

Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them! Thanks again!!
for flickr friday's theme of art nouveau. an attempted recreation of Anne-Marie Zilberman's painting (a contemporary artist who paints in the style of Gustav Klimt)"Il Mare Atelier". you know. just because.
Again, same thing: we were trying to mimic the style of the American Eagle/Aerie ads.
I'm sure she'll have a few of me on her photostream soon, as well, if you stay tuned. ;)

Been quite some time since I've touched this WIP but I've finally picked it up again. The main reason I stopped the build in the first place was because of the track pods. They're honestly some tricky little bastards to recreate in Lego, and since I wasn't too satisfied with my previous solution, I decided to put this tank off to the side for a while...until now!
With prior arrangement from the crew, 7029 is opened from a crawling start at Hall Green Station, with all its retro structures on the 21st of December 2024.

I picked the "Circe Invidiosa" by John William Waterhouse.
I'm going to be honest and let go of the raw fact that I've been avoiding to think about this theme since it has been drawn out at the beginning of this project. I am completely opposites to the kind of paintings that appeal to my heart the most, but I had inevitably to pick a painting with a human presence in it, or it would be too abstract and it would be too hard to possibly physically represent it.
I've been wanting to do a recreation of Ophelia since I started to take self-portraits. As I was almost deciding to go into a small lagoon for it, I had to adult and accept that has been way too cold lately and without assistance it was going to be almost impossible to be left happy with the result so I picked yet another option - which inevitably also included stepping into cold waters while raining a lot. It seems I never learn.
And in fact I selected two paintings and recreated both but this is the one I decided to pick for this week's theme. The other one will be shared during the next few days, possibly, or sometime soon.
I find J.W. Waterhouse a painter so modern for its age. I love the way he portrays women. They are not always fragile as most painters from the 19th century would portray them - they are portrayed importantly and godly, as if in the center of the story, the protagonists of it. They are fierce and emotional and quite magnificent by emanating those atributes instead of just the most obvious ones such a beauty or wealth.
I love it how accurately timeless the characters seem to be in his paintings. They could have been painted yesterday. They are so feminine and bold and strong. His paintings are mystical, but yet they are so current as well. And I find that to be quite refreshing for a Pre-Raphaelite painter. To be honest I do not know much about paintings, but his work always spoke to me somehow and I decided to go with his depiction of Circe. A strong, bold, powerful character.
If I could pick something to suddenly, out of the blue, be able to excel at, it would probably be painting. It's magical. 🌿
