78 supporters in just over a year. It seems that people have an expectation when it comes to modular buildings - that it has to be incredibly detailed and in a certain style - but the aim of this project is to do something completely different.
This is my current progress of a redesign of the original building, more influenced by the art deco style: inspiration was drawn from the Rudolf Mosse House building with its corner-style shape.
There's no interior at the moment, and the roof will require some more work, but the building will incorporate a small stairwell as well as the new-style lift from the Town Hall. As you can see there are now only three floors instead of two.
Having never owned or built an official modular building set, designing your own original one is a challenge.
Reprox is a printing company established in 1986 and situated in Sao Paulo. To create this logo, I was planning to use primary colors (CMYK), registration and crop marks, etc. Then I realized that, in Brazil, 9 out of 10 printing companies use these elements.
I decided to use something different. I used 2 primary colors and 2 secondary colors which produces more colors.
I’d like to thank Rodolfo França www.flickr.com/photos/rodox/ for the valuable comments during the logo design.

Some background
In response to the disappointing Kawasaki Ki-45 "Toryu" (US code name 'Nick') in late 1939 and 1940, the Japanese army ordered the development of another twin-engine fighter. As an alternative, a lighter and more agile design was demanded, better suited for high altitude interception tasks than the twin-engine escort fighters of the era. One proposal was the Manshu Ki-53 "Insei" ('Meteor', code name 'Stacy'), a relatively small and sleek, single-seated design which was built around two water-cooled Kawasaki Ho-40 (licence-built Daimler Benz DB 601, also used for the Kawasaki Ki-61 fighter) engines. The design was heavily influenced by German planes like the Messerschmitt Bf 110 or Focke Wulf Fw 187, in search of a better performance compared to both current single-or double-engine fighters in service.
After a hasty development the Ki-53 was only built in small numbers and exclusively assigned to homeland defense tasks. The plane was just in time operational to be used against the Doolittle raid on 18 April 1942, though it did not see action. The 84th Independent Flight Wing (Dokuritsu Hikō Chutai) introduced the Ki-53 as the first squadron, alongside its Ki-45. It became clear that the Ki-53 could better hold its own against single-engine fighters in aerial combat than the larger, two-seated Ki-45. It was more agile and offered a much better acceleration, but it suffered from several flaws that would never truly mended.
The Ki-53's cannon armament proved to be effective against the B-17 and B-29 Superfortress raids, which started in June 1944. But the plane was complicated and not popular, production numbers remained small. Stability became poor at high altitudes, the water-cooled engines were exotic among Imperial Japanese Army Air Service aircraft and the radiator system was prone to leaking. The lack of a pressurized cabin made high altitude interceptions hazardous - most of the time, only an initial direct attack was possible. Since the basic design offered little room for future developments, a thorough redesign was rejected and only a mere 153 were built, so that the machine did not cause much impact.
Some machines received field modifications, like an additional, semi-recessed 30mm cannon under the fuselage (omitting the hard point), these machines were designated Ki-53-I. Some Ki-53 had one of their fuselage tanks behind the cockpit removed and two additional 20mm cannons, angled 30° upwards with 150 rgp each installed - under the designation KI-53 KAI. Probably 30 machines were converted this way and used as night fighters
Later, the interceptor concept was taken back to single-engine projects like the Ki-87 or Ki-94, but both failed to proceed to hardware stage.

The kit and its assembly
This is total whif, a true Frankenstein creation from various kits without a real life paradigm. Actually, a pair of DH.88 wings were the start of it all. They are so elegant and slender, I wanted to build something for high altitudes with them, like a Luft '46 BV 155 or Bf 109H. That idea turned into a twin engine propeller fighter, like a small-scale Westland Welkin. But since such a plane would not fit into German demands, I 're-located' it conceptually to Japan. Historically it would fit, esp. its DB 601 engines, which were also used on the Ki-64 'Hien', the only other serial production plane of the army with a water-cooled engine. The sleek lines and its small size would also fit Japanese design.
Consequently, I gave it the Ki-53 designation. I am not certain if this number had been allocated or used, I could not find a good reference?
Anyway, now that the basic idea was clear, here's a list of what went into this fantasy creation (all 1:72 scale):
- Fuselage, tail and cockpit from a Hobby Boss He 162
- Engines from an Italieri He 111
- Propellers from an Airfix OV-10D
- Main wings and rear engine nacelle parts from an Airfix DH.88
- Wing radiator units from a Matchbox Me 410
- Landing gear from a Dragon Ho 229
- Main wheels from a PM Ta 183
- Tail wheel from a Revell Eurocopter 'Tiger'
- Matchbox pilot figure
The He 162 fuselage lost its jet engine on the back (closed with 2c putty), resulting in a very clean fuselage, IMHO a great complement to the sleek DH.88 wings. Since I wanted to keep the original cockpit from the He 162 (even though the Hobby Boss kit is gruesome in this point!) but not use a tricycle undercarriage, the wing roots were moved forward and lowered. To hide the poor cockpit, I added half of a pilot figure, added two narrow side consoles and a steering stick, but left the rest OOB. The undercarriage doors of the He 162 were all closed and hidden under NC putty, as well as the original guns under the cockpit.
But coming back to the wings: the DH.88's engine nacelles were (much!) too narrow. Height would fit the bill, but their width hat to be increased by 4-5mm in order to 'accept' the Ho-40/DB 601 engines! These engines are not big at all, but in comparison with the tiny DH.88 wings, they look like huge metal bulks!
Consequently, I kept the DH.88 nacelles' inner sides, cut the original motors away, attached the new engines and finally added the outer nacelle halves. Bits of plastic sheet and lots of putty filled the remaining gaps, but the result ain't bad at all. After the nacelles were done, I also added thin radiators from a Matchbox Me 410 to the wings' undersides. The propellers become problematic, too. I wanted to keep the original He 111 propellers, but they were too big for the slender machine and the narrow space between the engines! It took a lot of searching in the pile yard, but I finally came up with two propellers (complete with spinners) which were small enough for the Ki-53! Nevertheless, the engines look brutally big, esp. with the tiny OV-10 propellers. As a positive side effect, something of the original air intakes at the nacelles' front can be seen - they'd be hidden behind the original He 111 spinners.
The new landing gear well covers were cut and 'welded' from flat polystyrene sheet, inside a mounting basis from polystyrene was added in order to hold the landing gear. The tail wheel well was cut from the massive(!) fuselage of the Hobby Boss He 162, the wheel comes from an Eurocopter 'Tiger' from Revell.
A lot of work, esp. at the wings, but the result looks plausible. The Ki-53 reminds a bit of a De Havilland Hornet, Westland Whirlwind (esp. its early P.9 design with two tail fins) or a Gloster G.39?
Painting
The Ki-53's livery was inspired by a Nakajima Ki-43-IIb 'Hayabusa' from 3rd chutai, 25th sentai, operated in January 1944 in China. The rather strange paint scheme with ever more green on the fuselage from the front to the back looked interesting - not sure if it had been a field improvisation?
The Ki-53 received an overall light grey base coat with dark green mottles and an almost 'fully green' tail. The horizontal stabilizers were painted fully green, too, but the wings' upper sides received typical 'blotches'.
Even though authentic tones are available (e .g. from Tamiya or Testors), I went for a free choice of colors and settled for Humbrol 167 ('Barley Grey') and Humbrol 105 ('Marine Green'). All interior surfaces including the landing gear were painted in Humbrol 226 ('Interior Green' and dry-painted with a mix of olive drab and zinc chromate green).
For markings I used Japanese Ki-45 profiles as a design benchmark. Hinomaru, stencellings and the white home defense fuselage band stem from an Aerormaster aftermarket decal sheet. The fake squadron markings for the hypothetical 1st chutai, 4th sentai actually belong to a JASDF F-86 in 1:48 scale! Everything is made up from scratch and fantasy.
A few weeks ago, that great guy Memory posted this on Flickr. He had used only the parts from set 8958 to create a custom model thingy.
I had the set, so I thought 'hey, why not?'. And also, I wanted to built something other than a boring old tractor, which pretty much everyone has built. I wanted to experiment with the tracks, so I wrapped one around three wheels (a tight fit), then built around that. You wouldn't believe how few goddamn pieces that set has. But I did it: a MineBike (sure, it's a little close to my made-up minecycle a few weeks ago, but that's all I can describe this as). The MineBike is intended for fast reconaissance missions (due to its small ground contact), but it also has a hook thingy for connecting big trays. Enjoy!
Redesigned the thing I didn't like about pre-crash bike, the dropouts... these are stainless steel and fit neatly into the chainstay
MTA personnel were out in Jackson Heights, Queens, during the week of Jan. 6 to tell customers about the draft plan of the borough's bus network redesign, which was released on Dec. 30, 2019. The MTA is seeking public input on the draft plan, which dramatically redraws the Queens bus network with new routes that are simpler, more direct, less circuitous and go to more areas than before.
Outreach will continue through January and February across Queens. For more information on dates and the draft plan, check: new.mta.info/queensbusredesign

I know a lot of people are not a fan of Mulan's redesign but I on the other hand absolutely adore it!
I've been meaning to make this dress for quite some time now and I finally had some free time today! I've hoarded all these fabrics for months lol It's not perfect but a lot of my sweat and blood went into making it! So Enjoy guys!
Mini rant - If I, an amateur sewer/doll collector can make this outfit, I'm sure the DIsney Store is more than capable of mass producing it.

A redesigned costume for Spider-Man for Project:Rooftop
The premise behind this is that all the components are readily available to a high school kid. It always bothered me how Peter could whip up a Spider-Man costume over night. This was especially evident in the first film, when one day he's in a poorly constructed wrestling costume, and the next he's in a professionally made spandex costume with rubber webbing and a honeycomb pattern. This all looks beautiful, but a nerd with no fashion sense pulling this out of nowhere at the last moment seemed like a big stretch to me.*
So to rectify that problem, I've decided a costume where everything is commercially available from things a high school nerd would have access to. Places like Target or Amazon.
This consists of:
Hoodie, jeans, gloves, and a ski mask & cup googles. All readily available. I couldn't see Peter making all the line work for the full web pattern (at least at first, Reed Richards or someone with technology/money/skill could always give him the classic costume later) but a kid sharpieing in a giant spider on a hoodie? That seems doable. I wasn't going to have the pattern on the ski mask, but its just so damned iconic, I needed to have it. He's just not Spider-Man without it.
Protective gear, helmet, shin guards, motocross chest guard, and obligatory athletic cup. The idea of a teenage geek fighting crime in a concrete jungle without something to at least help with the inevitable scrapes and bruises.
Web shooters. These are gauntlets originally designed to hold shotgun shells. Here they house the web fluid. Paired with carpal tunnel gloves, which have a pocket on the inside of the wrist, usually for a splint, but with the splint removed, make an excellent pocket for the shooters themselves. Conductive thread on the middle and ring fingers of the gloves let Peter's trigger the device without it going off every damn time something touches it (this is the same science behind why the iPhone only works with your fingers, and not a stylus). Perhaps Peter set it the trigger is set to his specific genetically enhanced Spider-Man biometrics, so no one else but him could use it.
Last but not least, Gillies. Irish dancing shoes. I was looking for something for him to wear that was thin enough for his powers to work through, but not something as simple as socks. Something that will hold up better. A ballerina friend of mine suggested these, thin leather shoes perfect for Spider-Man. (Thanks Erin)
Costume can be worn with hood up and zipped for full effect, or down and unzipped for a more casual look. Everything here could fit in a backpack for easy transport/hiding.
So ta-dah, let me know what you think in the comments.
*I'm aware the whole idea of getting spider powers from a bite is a big stretch in and of itself, but that's the whole conceit of the plot. Magic fashion powers, however, are not part of the package.

For the 1998 model year, Ford gave its full-size cars for all three divisions major redesigns, with the Town Car receiving the most attention. The straight-lined body seen for eight years gave way to a curved design scheme with a downwards sloping trunk lid, and cat's-eye headlights. The C-pillar opera windows and Rolls-Royce grille seen since the 1970s were left off, as was the hood ornament. In the front, the new Town Car wore a waterfall grille much like the Navigator that was introduced alongside it for 1998.
The interior received major changes as well. Door and instrument panels as well as the radio face, switches and controls were redone. Additional wood trim was added to the newly designed dashboard and the door panels. The power seat recliner and lumbar controls were moved to the door panels. Lincoln emblems remained on the door panels and the seatbacks, as well as the rear tail lights, making the 1998–2002 models the last Town Cars with that feature. The Cartier model also received a 220-hp version of the Modular V8.
The Town Car didn't follow a popular trend with luxury brands, by installing a cabin air filter for the HVAC system, while the smaller Lincoln LS did offer one.
1998: Third-generation Town Car released with extensive redesigns to the exterior and interior. While 3 inches shorter, the 1998 Town Car was 2 inches wider, an inch taller, and rode on a slightly longer wheelbase. For the first time since 1991, the 4.6L V8 saw a power increase across the board (200 hp in Executive/Signature, 220 hp in Cartier, 239 hp in Signature Touring, standard with dual exhaust). The Signature Series was available with a Touring package, intended to appeal to those young at heart. It features unique 16-inch chrome tek alloy wheels with wider 235 width tires, 3.55 rear gear ratio, heavy duty monotube KONI shocks (OEM supplier), reduced diameter rubber bushings on suspension, revised engine and variable steering ratio computer tuning, exterior chrome delete, anthracite painted grill, black wood interior, perforated leather seats and JBL Audiophile quality sound system.
2003: Town Car given mid-cycle refresh. As the underpinning Ford Panther platform receives a major update, the Town Car receives a number of changes to improve its road manners. An all-new frame improved body rigidity while rack-and-pinion steering improved handling alongside a retuned suspension. The Modular V8 received another power increase, to 224/239 hp, depending on model.
A refreshed exterior squared off the bumpers; a new front end brought the styling of the Town Car closer in line with that of the newly introduced LS. After a five-year absence, the hood ornament made its return atop the grille. Inside, all-new seats gained larger head restraints. To further differentiate the interior from its Mercury Grand Marquis stablemate, the Town Car gained a new woodgrain pattern, trimmed by a satin metal border. Unlike Ford and Mercury dashboards, Town Cars integrated the radio and climate controls into a single unit, topped by an analog clock.
Late in the year, a DVD-based satellite navigation system designed by Pioneer became available late in the 2003 model year; it was later paired with THX sound processing. On all Town Cars except for Executive Series, ultrasonic park assist was standard. Also new was a power trunk lid that opens and closes at the touch of the driver's door mounted button or through the keyless remote; this was known as "Trunk at a Touch."
Discontinuation
In spite of declining sales, the Town Car remained one of the best selling American luxury cars; it was the United States' and Canada's most used limousine and chauffeured car.
In 2006, as part of The Way Forward, Ford considered ending production of Lincoln's largest model as part of the 2007 closing of the Wixom Assembly Plant. Industry observer George Peterson said "It blows everybody’s mind that they are dropping the Town Car. Just think what Ford could do if they actually invested in a re-skin of Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis and Town Car." Ford ultimately decided to keep the model and move assembly to the St. Thomas Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada; this was home to the Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis; both models also used the Ford Panther platform. The Town Car's manufacture resumed at its new location in late 2007. The first Canadian-assembled Town Car was built on January 10, 2008. However, in Canada, Town Cars were sold exclusively for fleet and livery sales, having been discontinued in retail markets after the 2007 model year.
In 2009, the fate of all three Panther-platform models was determined when Ford announced the 2011 closure of the St. Thomas Assembly Plant. For the limousine and livery markets, Ford had promised availability of the Town Car through the 2011 model year; retail sales continued on a limited basis in the United States and for export. On January 4, 2011, the Town Car became the last Panther-platform variant available for retail sale as the final Mercury Grand Marquis was produced (the last Mercury-brand vehicle). On August 29, 2011, the final Town Car rolled off the assembly line, without any fanfare or announcement from Ford.
After the Town Car's discontinuation following the 2011 model year, the Town Car was left without a direct replacement. Although dimensionally a full-size sedan, the Lincoln MKS's architecture is considerably different as it has a front-wheel drive unibody platform with optional all-wheel drive. The MKS is marketed more as of a successor to the sportier Lincoln LS as well as the 1995–2002 Continental. To fill the gap left by the Town Car, Lincoln has remained in livery markets by developing a limousine variant of the MKT full-size crossover vehicle, which was made available around the second quarter of 2012 and is known as the "MKT Town Car."
