Model of my Land Rover 110 in scale 1:12.6.
About the model:
This Land Rover 110 is a hybrid model of a Technic chassis, combined with a scale bodywork from classic bricks.
The chassis is a reinforced and modified version of Sheepo's Garage's Modular All-terrain Platform.
It uses two Power Functions L-Motors for the all-wheel drivetrain and a servo motor for steering. The chassis features a hi/low gearbox which I automated using an M-Motor. As a means of remote control, an S-Brick is used. Power comes from an AA battery box.
Both front and rear axle are of the solid type with differential and are spring mounted.
The bodywork features openable driver's, passenger and rear doors as well as an openable bonnet, revealing the drive and steering motors. The whole bodywork can be lifted off to reveal the Technic innards. There is no scale interior.
About the real car:
The real car this model is based on, is a 1984 Land Rover 110, also called One Ten. Later on, this model became the famous Land Rover Defender.
It is powered by a mere 75 hp from a 2.25-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine.
The car was used as a fire engine for about 25 years. When I bought it in 2017, it had only some 25'000 km on the clock and was in a very solid condition.
In the meantime the Land Rover is converted into a camper with a custom made interior and a pop top roof made by Ex-Tec.
The car is called 'Grisu', named after an Italian cartoon figure of a dragon who wanted to become a firefighter.
This is a great old building next to the tracks at Scales Mound, IL, but getting good sun on this north side is all but impossible. Nevertheless, the Central of Georgia unit passing by made for a great scene back on 3-31-18. By the way, this point is just a quarter mile away from the highest point in Illinois.

The HO scale farmhouse kit is the same design as the one on my N scale layout, but each of us detailed ours a bit differently, and each of us scratchbuilt a shed for the farm vehicles.. Here is a link to my version of this building: www.flickr.com/photos/13893317@N06/8042816729/in/set-7215... . The amber wheat field in the background is painted on. The trees behind the farmhouse are a photograph that is cut out to help hide a hidden track in a carefully concealed trench that will eventually lead to a lower level featuring Emporia, Kansas.
This photo was taken of Steve Sandifer's HO scale layout. All his finished structures and scenery are superb. He models a Santa Fe branchline in central Kansas circa 1952. I photographed his layout on the 2014 Fall Layout Tour
Wasdale trip photo's. Plan was to camp two nights at the Wasdale head national trust campsite. Get photo's of sunset, sunrise nad night time, from various locations in this area. Two climbers can be seen climbing one of the ridges on Great Gable. I used to have a guide book with all the names of these routes, not that I did them. The most I did was the climbers traverse scramble and then threading the needle.
On the aforementioned Eastern Mistletoe (Phoradendron leucarpum; Durham NC, USA), I was pleased to find:
Soft Scale Insects - family Coccidae (~1-2 mm)

A helpful entomologist on Facebook identifies as:
Brown Soft Scale - Coccus hesperidum
Some of the scale insects have been parasitized by wasps, so we have a hemiparasitic plant, a parasitic insect of that plant, and a parasite of that insect--parasites all the way down.

Did you know that butterfly wings are covered with microscopic scales? I used fish leather with a visible scale pattern to cover the spine. Conceptual. No?
(You can find all colors of fish leather at fineleathers.etsy.com).
