The crease pattern for my scaled wyvern. Veiw large to see all the creases better.
UPDATE: I uploaded the most recent version of the crease pattern.
Called also Fig wax scale, in this image on a Frangipani leaf. What you see is the heavy waxy cover of a female that remains a "grub" (juvenile form) without obvious legs, eyes or antennae that stays protected and lays eggs. A simple life. Found occasionally locally on Frangipani leaves (pictured), and on the leaves of coconut palms. I have not yet seen a male: a 1-2 mm tiny winged insect that does not feed and lives a day or two.
Scale Force is considered the highest waterfall in the English Lake District. Opinions can vary about how its precise height is calculated, but the total height is normally stated as 170 feet (51.8m), with a single drop of water of 120 feet (36.6m) and several smaller drops. It is on the stream Scale Beck.
The waterfall – or force (a Norse term for waterfall) – is hidden in a deep gorge on the northern flank of Red Pike (Buttermere). It lies south of Crummock Water and is near the village of Buttermere.
William Wordsworth described Scale Force as "a fine chasm, with a lofty, though but slender, fall of water", while Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote: "Scale Force, the white downfall of which glimmered through the trees, that hang before it like the bushy hair over a madman's eyes".
For Our Daily Challenge: SCALE is the Topic for 28 November 2010
OK, I know when the bark starts to come off the tree these things are called scales, right? It comes off in scaly sections? I need you to agree with me because the dictionary is not being helpful! Anyway, here is my interpretation for "scales"! Voila!
I used three different colours of face flannel (wash cloth) to make some towels for the bathroom. Hot pink, baby pink and lilac. I used the edge where there was a pattern. This also meant I didn't have to do any sewing as it didn't fray! I also made a bath mat and blind (which I will show properly tomorrow when I finish the shower curtain, and post pics :)
A heavy yet extremely durable, heat and fire proof shield, absorbs fire damage as well.
this very scale originates from a endangered sub species of a kanohi dragon, often found near lava or deep in its silver mine as its nest.
The Dragon Warrior model of a advanced engineered torch that creates a blade of Fire. The mobile variant offers great performance thats easy to master, requiring less energy from its own source and its user, making it very economical friendly. Its precision focus a perfect and sharp beam of only fire. Strong, Light and Fast. Reaching melting temperatures.
Compared to the Dragon Elder, Tahu's beastly class torch, burns hotter and requires more hard training to master and is incredibly more taxing.
Toa Hotaru
Kanohi: Aki Hau
Younger Brother: Flaris
Element: Blaze
Class: Elite Samurai
Abilities: advanced fire bending and shaping his flames into a katana
Hotaru & Flaris were two young brotherly matoran, starting as low level knights in training in hopes one day they would become Toa. Hotaru was the oldest and a bit more skilled, sharping his and flaris abilities. The two trained, fought and hunted together for years. While most Ta-matoran took work in making masks all day, the brothers were busy earning their place. Hotaru took lessons with the very few that wanted to challenge the makuta. Flaris invested his time into researching armor and weapons and caught up on lessons passed to him from his best friend. The matorans courage & hard work would pay off when the day came for them to begin their future as Toa. Hotaru was the first to evolve into one and quickly joined a team, he said his good byes and took off. Flaris would also evolve into knighthood in the near future

I might still play around with the edit on this. But it I try my best and it was fun to do :)
I got the idea of having a big me and a little me randomly. I thought I could do it, so I whipped out my camera and decided to stand on the bathroom scale for good measure :) I ended up looking more frightened of myself than I intended, but its okay. I believe my oddly shaped feet and toes are enough to frighten anyone ;)
Hoping everyone is having a superb day! I can't believe my birthday is tomorrow. It doesn't feel real...
PS- My hair is pulled up into a bun. I just now realized that it looks a little odd..
A frosty morning at the river Hull
I wrote a blog on Hull's popular photography locations. Please check it out, it may be useful! www.neilnicklinphotography.co.uk/blog/2015/5/photography-...
Except for the tracked sidewalk snow plow which is 3 studs wide, all the other vehicles are 6 studs wide body, with 5 studs wide cabin. We received a lot of snow this winter, and this is what inspired me to build a fleet of snow removal equipment to clear the roads, apron, taxiways and the landing strip of the airbase. I also wish to pay tribute to our snow removal teams that work in harsh conditions, day and night to clear roads and parking lots so the rest of us can go about their daily business. The "yellow" fleet is made up of two tracked walk way snow plows, two dumper plow trucks, one salter-plow truck, two loaders, two dusters and one blower.

In this photo I have attached the UniJoiners to the ends of the rails but have not yet connected the track sections.
Unitrack made by Kato consists of sections of rail and crossties mounted on roadbed and easily connected and disconnected by their patented UniJoiners. This series of photos shows three kinds of UniJoiners. All three kinds of UniJoiners connect the rails and hold the sections of roadbed together but otherwise serve different purposes. Please look at all three photos of this series: UniJoiners by themselves, UniJoiners attached to the rails, and track connected by the UniJoiners.
The basic UniJoiner shown in the top view has a gray plastic body for connecting the plastic roadbed of two sections of track and a metal rail joiner for connecting the metal rails of two sections of track while allowing electric current to pass along each rail. The metal rail joiner itself is similar to those made by Atlas, Peco, and other brands of N scale track. Clips that are molded into the plastic body of the UniJoiner snap into recesses at the ends of each track section and are what securely holds two sections of track together. Each piece of new track from the factory has a regular UniJoiner already installed on the right rail (as you face each end of the track), but you can remove it with a special tool. On all but hidden track, I color my UniJoiners with a Rail Black marker and then scrape away paint from the conductive metal rail joiner surfaces.
The bottom view shows Insulated UniJoiners. They are molded from black plastic and are designed to lock the roadbed of two track sections together and keep the rails in close alignment without allowing the rails to touch each other and conduct electric current. I use a pair of Insulated UniJoiners at each end of a segment of track I wish to electrically isolate from all the other power blocks. Each track of both of my staging yards contains an electrically isolated segment that is long enough of hold a complete train of 10 passenger cars or 18 freight cars plus engines.
The middle view shows a pair of Terminal UniJoiners (Kato item 24-818). They are constructed like the regular UniJoiners but have built in power wires already soldered in place. At the other end of the cable is an electrical plug that ultimately plugs into a Kato power pack. With the FORWARD setting turned ON, the WHITE wire will be +, the BLUE wire will be -, and the train will go EASTBOUND. By substituting Terminal UniJoiners for regular ones, I can hook up power to any segment of track, but I use them to power up my electrically isolated staging tracks.

Skógafoss is huge. My tall 6'11"; friend is, for once, tiny. And drenched.
The water plunges from a height of a 14 storey building (60m) to a deafening roar. My phone was getting sprayed with mist a hundred feet away.
I have a diecast model of a 1946 Ambulance that would work well in a scene, but there wasn't a stretcher included with the model. Hmmmm, why not make one, I thought.
In my "parts" box I found some left over brass window frames that had potential for the stretcher's base. And then there was the trusty aluminum tubing that could stand in for the detailing.
It was a plan.
About 10 hours later, there was a little stretcher on my work mat.
Gotta love the web for photo references!

I've been busy trying to make a King Leman Russ for my non-existent guard army.
It's been going well.
