Today's story and sketch "by me" we are again at "Wonder World" in Sunny South Florida, and you see
Ramon Gofish driving (yes driving a Marscat, non floatation "non anti gravity utility vehicles,
like the one Ramon is driving here at the Star Tours Terrestrial Planets Walkabout).
Ramon has just unloaded another load of Martian red rock and gravel, (yes real Martian Rocks and gravel).
Only genuine materials are used in the Terrestrial Planets Walkabout Park, and there are four sections
in the park, Mars, Mercury, Venus and yes Earth, which are the four planets close to our Sun known as
terrestrial planets, telluric planets, or rocky planets, which are planets composed primarily of silicate rocks or metals, all Within our Solar System which are Earth like, "telluric planet" are derived from Latin words for Earth Terra and Tellus, or Earth like, and all four have canyons, craters, mountains, and may have
volcanoes, which Wonder World at the moment has none, considered much to dangerous for guests walking
through, which did happen once, but was shut down after a dozy of an eruption, but that is a story for another time. The Earth area was easy to construct, Ramon only had to drain an area of swamp, and
remove the Gators, add sand and rocks from different areas of Earth. Mars is still under construction
as are Venus and Mercury, and we will have updates as things progress, until then taa ta the Rod Blog.

Another vehicle, this time detailed enough to guide an actual solid model. Again, 1:35 scale.
This one is a small utility vehicle. Hydrogen fuel cell for power. In the theme of Industrialpunk, or Hibernia, whichever. I'm not totally sold on the cab, but now that I have the dimensions down, I can play around with the shape. I may try out something closer to this, this, this, this, or this.
Need to change the house electrical service from 200 amp to 300 amp. Since the pole is showing real signs of age, they're replacing that too. Of course I needed to hire someone to come out and mark utility lines like cable and electric. But spraying the leaves seems senseless. Perhaps I'll get a discounted rate 😂
It has a '52 grille, '53-54 windshield, converted to left hand drive. 1952 was the last year Holden built a Chevrolet Coupe Utility.
A small spaceship I imagine being some sort of exploratory vehicle operating out of a larger space station. The build was a fun vessel for messing with angles possible using cheese slopes,
Part of a self assigned task to photo as may of the painted utility boxes in San Luis Obispo, ca. I don't live in San Luis Obispo so my finds are a bit scattered
This old "Citizen's Gas & Coke Utility" on the east side of Indianapolis, Indiana, is slowing being taken down piece by piece.
Until it closed in July 2007, Indianapolis Coke, the Manufacturing Division of Citizens Gas, produced coke, manufactured gas and various chemical by-products for industrial use.
