The scale in my local chemist, Cloyne Care Plus. It is fairly accurate, gives same weight as my home digital scale. It has a coin slot, but no money needed. These large stand on scales are becoming rare, this one is before the Euro. It offers weight in stones = 14 pounds for each.
Alexander Y Type bodied Leyland Leopard as issued by EFE in Stagecoach stripes. Model has had its Western names removed and new style corporate ones added. Its new national fleetnumber of 25785 is in situ and a bit of weathering to tone the clinical white down finishes the job.
In the background is my old, standard Pullman design at 40 (42) studs. In the foreground is the new SAD (Scaled to Actual Dimensions) Pullman design at 60 (62).
People are going to accuse me of compensating for something.
This is a LEGO model of a Douglas DC-3C from LAN Chile. In 1946 LAN bought several Douglas DC-3C, which were originally C-47 models used as cargo planes in World War II, which were transformed into passenger planes to give them a second life. The DC-3C that arrived to Chile were key in the nascent air connectivity of our country. The model is in 1:40 scale, measures 73 cm wide and 49 cm long. One of these planes survived until today and is on display at the National Aeronautical and Space Museum (In Santiago, Chile). The idea of building this historic plane was born after a visit to the NASM.

The view you get to see through view finder is even more stunning. Making macro is always difficult,fun and exciting.
While in the middle of a new project, it became clear that a stairway was necessary for part of the model.
I turned to the Web and studied how real stairs are constructed.
Gotta love the Web!
The most important part, I found out, was keeping everything inline and symmetrical. Enter the "jig" that the stairs were built upon. Nothing fancy; just a block of wood that was the correct width and length.
By taping the stringers [ the side part of the stairs ] to that wood, everything remained stable so the stair treads could be glued in place. Once everything was dried and set, the whole unit could be removed without any problems; and it's surprisingly sturdy.
Just wanted to share this!
By the way, the wood I use is Basswood. Stronger and more dense than balsa wood.
Proper title should be
Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice or I Think I overdid the lens flare.
Feeling abit lazy as I've reused Batman, but I wanted to get a Superman with a flowing cape, and Batman wanted in on the action.
Inside an abandoned market booth, a forgotten shopping scale lies on the floor, dust-covered and silent, like the last trace of something that once was.

Added 2 new 50' DAF flat cars to the NASA fleet, I've got a few possible plans for these: Titan SRB segment flatcars (working on getting these designed but it will take some time), a fictitious V-2 (or bumper, I haven't decided yet) transport consist or having these just be spacers. My next project that randy will be doing for me is related to this (FM is on the list but not this season) Any guesses?

1:45 scale Lego model of the Portuguese Siemens Krauss Maffei Eurosprinter
This model has around 2000 parts, custom lights, HA bricks M wheels, Buwizz 2.0, and two Powerfunctions L motors.
Also, I pay homage to the LLMTC guys by using an LLMTC printed brick on that boring, huge grey wall.
This is the most ordinary locomotive in Portugal, currently used in all Intercity Trains (where there is Electric Wire).

A LEGO Star Wars role building game.
Not as sophisticated as Sariel's scaler - however, quite helpful to get correct proportions when building minifig scale vehicles. You just need a tablet with a blueprint on its screen zoomed to the proper scale (here I'm using a dummy for obvious reasons). Starting point is always the wheelbase wherefrom all the other measurements can be deduced by checking the silhouette.
H1 wheelbase = 3302 mm; wheelbase of the model = 96 mm (12 studs); scale = 1/34,4
