I'm happy with the end product of this image. This is a multi shot panorama of the Sydney Water Corporation offices at 1 Smith St Parramatta. I really like the building but it epitomises the issue I have with modern city design, that is the lack of human scale.
I have uploaded the full res images so you can click and see the lady walking past the building. Compare here to the size of the tower. Now the scale is a little warped as I have shot this pano from only about 20m away from the tower but it shows the conflict between humans and 15 or more storey towers.
Parramatta needs some more investigation as a shooting destination. I see myself here again soon.

"Lauded for their versatility and the speed with which they can be put on, scale surcoats are a common sight on the field. Durable, but still highly flexible, they are popular amongst cavalry and footmen alike."
Having way too much fun with these. I've wanted to make them for /years/... but SL was never really capable of pulling them off like I wanted. Even with sculpts. Now? Can't wait.
This is a work in progress series of shots that I thought some of you might find interesting.
The far right is the base model before coloring, the results of said coloring being the one to it's left. That copy is rendered with lights, shine, shadow, etc. All the wonderful things that will never show up in SL!
Fortunately, I am able to bake a lot of those details into a solid texture, which is the "Texture only, no rendering" piece.
Finally, the last one, (far left) is the result of cleaning up the texture in photoshop and adding some of the modular elements made for the other surcoats. The result is one configuration of a hundred thousand or so possibilities.
As I will never in a million years make nor want to make a hundred thousand textures, even if I could afford it- the final set will be much more simple by necessity. However, I am going to experiment with commisions with this piece. So if you want one with Pink scales, a white belt, cloth instead of chainmail, no armor plates, with blue cloth that has gold trim.... with heraldry of your choice on the chest?
Can be done. I've made the entire piece to be modular from the ground up. It will however come with a cost that reflects the time and work it takes to make a custom variant.
So, we'll see!

BLW N Scale found some Premier Editions Special Run Models that go back I guess sometime to the early 80's. I saw them listed on BLW's website before sunrise on Monday morning and quickly placed an order for four cars. Here are the two trailers I purchased; I already have these but have use for two more. I couldn't get these trailers to focus well due to outside conditions. Here is GOODYEAR 40 Ft. trailer #2144. I don't see a road number printed on it. My NASCAR Race Car train has 122 race cars on it. One 40 foot trailer load of tires isn't going to be enough for all those race cars so I got this second trailer for that. I can always use private owner Atlas 24 foot long trailers.

HO Scale Layout coming soon. This is a double track 4x8 with a small yard and Western High Desert style scenery. Powered double crossover. Comes in either DC or DCC controls included.
Up close the dead tree seems quite large but when viewed from a distance I realise just how small it is without any leaves to give it mass.
This was run through Neat Image to remove most of the noise - it's also removed a bit of detail but I do like the soft colour palate which is original
I love the pattern these pine cone scales make! From Wikipedia ~ The members of the pine family (pines,
spruces, firs, cedars, larches, etc.) have cones that are imbricate (that is, with scales overlapping each other
like fish scales). These are the "archetypal" cones. The scales are spirally arranged in fibonacci number ratios.

Lately I have been building new trees and modifying old ones. Now the trees are planted on the side of a mountain I've been working on since late December. The mountain is constructed of 1" sheet styrofoam, paper "biscuits" wadded up from brown paper bags used to protect wine bottles, and plaster cloth. My mountain was designed to be removable for the ease of construction, maintenance of scenery, access to the tracks for cleaning and re-railing trains, and eventual moving.
On the lower slopes are Ponderosa Pines, then Quaking Aspens, Douglas Fir, and Engelmann Spruce. The latter trees are bottle-brush type trees from Heki that I've had for decades. All the others are from Woodland Scenics kits and components that I've modified to resemble the trees of northern New Mexico I'm not 100% satisfied with my attempt with aspens, but Woodland Scenics doesn't really have a tree armature shape or foliage color that suits me. My version of Ponderosa Pine and Douglas Fir is closer than most modelers' work. Bottle brush type trees are OK for certain firs and spruces with an overall conical shape but not for "pine" trees that too many modelers try to pass off.
On the right hand side of this view, you can see the cutout for my track, and the left side will butt up against the photo mural background. The pink styrofoam visible on the bottom is where the mountain drops into its slot. On the left front, part of the mountain overlaps onto the adjacent section, and a wide creek goes around the bend and disappears from view.

One of my colleagues is a model-making enthusiast. He is constantly looking for new and challenging projects. One of his ideas was to create scale models of various objects made out of plastic customer loyalty cards from various shops.
This trailer is made out of Open32 MyCard cards.
Construction materials used are a jigsaw, cutting blades, cyanoacrylate glue and contact adhesive.
The 20 cent euro coin is for scale comparison.

There's also areas with blue and green scales, but there's also lots of darker ones. This is problematic when stacking. The shiny scales will have halos around them, very hard to fix. Going to get a higher magnification objective soon.
