When we were kids, traveling across the plains of Kansas in the days before the Interstate was finished, we passed through many a small town where Dad pointed out an interesting fact. The town Undertaker always had the biggest house in town because, eventually, he got everyone’s business.
Now imagine you are the Undertaker running Forrest Lawn Cemetery in the LA area.
Doctor Hubert Eaton, the guy who ran the place in 1938 had some spare change lying around when he ordered a custom, streamlined REO tractor to pull a Curtiss Aerocar trailer. For the first quarter of a million miles, it was powered by a White Flat-12 bus engine. In 1953 it got a Cummins diesel. The trailer had a small four cylinder to power a generator for electrical needs. There was space to sleep 6 people, a kitchen, bath and communication with the driver. His quarters and that of a butler/cook were in the cab of the REO.
The Aerocar was a product of aviation pioneer, Glenn Curtiss. You know, that other bicycle guy who, like the Wright Brothers started tinkering with airplanes. Curtiss and the Wrights would start as rivals but join forces to become Curtiss-Wright later on.
He started building luxury travel trailers in 1929 and continued until 1942. The camper is currently on display at The Murphy Auto Museum in Oxnard, California. It is on loan from LA’s Petersen Museum.
This is a forced perspective photograph of 1/43 scale die-cast models in front of a real background.
REO-Curtiss Aerocar is by Autocult
Bridge is by Lionel with help from some LGP upgrades.

The entire team at once.
I did the team in red because that seems to be the signature color of the game. A blue team may be forthcoming...
This was my first attempt at doing miniland-scale figures. I have to say, they're pretty fun to make. The scale can allow for a surprising amount of detail, but the real key to making these is getting the proportions right. I can't say I did that 100% (some of these are probably too tall, excluding the Heavy), but overall I'm very satisfied.
FYI - for anyone in the Chicago area, I'll be bringing these figures and many more of my displays to the Wizard World Comic Con this weekend. Look for us in the far back corner.
Wizard World was great! I don't know if we'll be back next year, but I hope so!
Pay attention to your weight

The white fluff is not a fungus but the protective covering of a scale insect, Cryptococcus fagisuga. The sucking insect pierces the beech trees' bark, which allows a fungus to get inside. This invasive complex called beech bark disease was introduced from Europe in the 19th Century and has been moving slowly across North America. There is no known control against the disease for trees in wild areas. Saplings are resistant, but the disease will kill all or most of the beech trees in the forest.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

LE SCALE
Le scale
questi ansanti tabernacoli bianchi
marmi sui quali gli umani
pavimentano l’anima.
Scale fatte d’aria
dove non ruotano i venti.
Scale adorne
che separano i ferrati dai lenti.
Scale in stile gotico, apostolico
che non portano a Dio
né alla sacralità dell’Essere.
Scale intime, abissali
sotto boschi
dove urlano i corvi.
Le scale
questi penosi tabernacoli bianchi
dalle antiche radici di ferro
che non danno colore
non spargono odore
a chi stringe più in alto lo scettro.

I felt like building some more micro scale T-formers, so I decided on Shockwave. Consists of 30 pieces and transforms from robot to tank without adding or taking away parts.
I'm currently working on a Cafe-Corner scale building, and I've been building some furniture for it. Unfortunately, I haven't been thinking clearly about the scale - this furniture takes up half the room. I need to be thinking and building smaller.
L to R: refrigerator, big screen tv, stereo console
The refrigerator doesn't have a back, and it has a piece of tape on top of it. The tape isn't holding it together, it's holding it together better.
