Cone scales, possibly from a Noble Fir, seen along the Rattlesnake Mountain Trail.

That plateau on the foot of this waterfall just seemed to be destined to have my freind stand there and give some scale :)
A pair of Vernier Calipers, handy to measure the internal or / and external dia of tubing.
To comply with the Group's rules I have only photographed the top 7 cms of this piece of equipment.

Happy Macro Monday folks !!
Scale force waterfall has a drop of 120 feet been after this for a while now early start 2 hour drive half hour walk and a 2 minute slippy clime up a rock face and to be created by this beauty
With the disused lines into Chatterley Valley opencast in the foreground 56105 rolls towards its destination at Pinnox Sidings near Longport with 6K38 from Crewe Basford Hall. Personally I wouldn't usually include a mast at the side of the line but with three blokes scaling it, thought it was too good to miss.

One factor in what i call "true minifig scaling" is not to just keep the minifig height in mind, but also the fact that the original minifigs low hip joints might create the impressions of tires being "too large" for a vehicle. I also forget that fact myself sometimes, since i often place minifigs next to my vehicles. However, if you keep using the realistically proportioned "human fig" as a template next to your MOC, selecting the right tires/rims for your vehicles wont be any trouble.
Revisiting some Iceland image, as I have this terrible habit of editing one and leaving the rest.
This is one of those images that I would have over edited last year, relying on saturation and contrast to carry the image rather than letting it breath. Not saying that one style is better than the other, but it demonstrates a personal evolution.
Flickr Friday theme Scale. Cookie lost a bet with Rusty and had to pay his weight in cookies. I think he cheats. Has a his hand on the scale. Happy Flickr Friday. the old photographer,;-)
A line of hikers making the ascent. Also reminds me of the 'ants go marching...'
Bonus points if you see the two hikers descending.
Thanks for looking!

Another day with a forecast of low cloud and >95% chance of rain. In these conditions there isn't much else other than fast flowing rivers that are worthwhile capturing.
Today, we travelled to Buttermere via Cockermouth and Crummock Water to reach the foot of Scale Force, a huge waterfall that sits in a gorge on red pike and feeds Crummock Water via Scale Beck. It's actually the tallest waterfall in the Lake District at 170ft tall.
I've been to Buttermere a number of times and never seen Scale Force flowing as quickly as it was today. We could even hear it from over 1/2 a kilometre away.

From time to time i post these scale comparissons.
Old Sets make us feel nostalgic - but i also think that overall the scale back then helped a lot. A 4 wide car compared to a 6 wide train made sense. The Vehicles were not as big as today (8w Speed champs!), used less parts - but still, they felt right. Using modern elements you can get a higher level of detail in a similar scale, which is known as 1/43 - 1/45 scale. Once you see a proportinate Minifigure next to the Minifigs we have today since the 1970ies, you can see why a smaller scale is actually better (except playvalue!).
If you do cars 4-5 wide, Trucks 6-7 wide and Trains 8 wide - you are technically in the proper minifig scale (height based!).
Simple shot as I'm in the process of building a little Lab MOC.
Initially It was simply to try to get a "Breaking Bad" Superlab. But I've had a few more thoughts and ideas to try to use it for different settings.
Basically i'm planning on using/experimenting in a similar way to the Corridor set up I had a while back. The main issue is not having enough Lego in the correct colours. But I have made a few set/furniture pieces.
EB CN grain train G898 is on its knees as it climbs out of the Mississippi River valley. The train is cresting the highest elevation on the railroad ( in the state of Illinois ) at Scales Mound. The train could be heard 15 minutes before it arrived. Thanks to Craig for the intel.
I would have preferred a 50mm shot off the road bridge that I am on, but there is a thick wire going across the tracks. I am standing on the roof of my truck, in order to get above the wire. No way to get below the wire.
My first stab at a smaller scale vehicle. The design is 100% my own and I plan an using it for a bigger project, which I may or may not finish. It doesn’t quite look right, but just enough to pass as an M48. I need to reshape the turret rear and possibly switch to a larger barrel for the commanders cupola.
I thought I'd have an outing before my area goes in to Covid Tier 3 tomorrow. Revisited Scale Haw Force hoping, this time, for some autumnal colours but suspect I'd missed the best of it.
