"Home

Home has been on my agenda lately. I've been kind of lost, floating in space without a home in the way I was used to.

I've left the person and the apartment that I called home. This made me "homeless". That was hard but it also gave me a strange feeling of freedom. I could live where ever I chose.

I think home is a space not a place - a space where no one should enter without your permission. A space where you could feel relatively secure. Maybe it can be an object, but in that case the object makes a space, in your mind, a space where you feel at ease.

Home means a lot to me, it has always done, but maybe in a different way now. I am my home. All I really need could fit in a suitcase or two.

At the moment I am working on "Memoire no 1", right now this is my home."

This has taken so unbelievably long. I think I should have been able to do everything so much more quickly, but I've done some parts of it over 5 times or so. Anyway, someday it will hopefully get done. I'm posting a picture now just to feel like I've accomplished something, at least.

This was a bargain. I picked it up at the Mount Prospect city police auction last spring. It's an old Mount Prospect police car. They were practically giving 'em away...

This may turn out to be the coolest of my collection of movie/TV cars. I'm awaiting a bricklink order with a few additional parts and have lots of things I still have to do, but the outside is larger finished. Building my White van gave me some confidence that I would be able to pull off the car's dirty appearance, and I'm reasonably happy with progress so far. I intend to add the massive PA system to the roof, but that depends on whether I can make it look good. Lego makes cone elements with a 4x4 base, which is too small, and 8x8, which is too large.

I have a bit more time to build this week (since Thursday was Ascension Day, which is a national holiday in the Netherlands), and made a fair bit of progress on this model. The tail fins and the aft fuselage are coming together and I completed the bays for the main gear. You can see one leg extended and the other retracted in this picture. So far it works like a charm.

There still are a fair few things I have to build, such as the upper half of the aft fuselage including the air brake and the cockpit interior (and floor). And then I have to make stickers but the model is getting very close to completion, so this is likely the last work in progress picture.
