Two Basic Music cadets take time out for a photo following a hard day's work at the Heart of the Valley Parade in Middleton, NS. Cadet bands are close-knit groups - many cadets make friends for life while at camp.

My oldest friend Pulapre Balakrishnan lives in Kozhikode & till recently taught at IIM Kozhikode. He has a property in Chathamangalam which has a 80 year old house that was in pretty bad shape. He happened to find the right architect, the right artisans, and went about restorinh it & bringing back the house to its former glory. The wood work lovingly scrubbed & polished, the old wooden hinges( on top of the heavy jackfruit wood doors) in perfect working condition, the floors redone with the familiar red oxide, the outside walls white washed, the bottom half of the outside walls coated with Japan Black to prevent termites.
I was blown away by the detail. A labour of love, and a perfect place for him to contemplate & complete his books, write, or just chill.
These are the basic colors of Kerala architecture. The only missing element is the dark wood, which I shall upload soon.

PERSONAL FUN FACT: I had a very conflicting feeling toward Bratzillaz dolls when I first saw them in stores and online. Most of me felt that they were jarringly hideous, what with their inset eyes and their witch inspired theme. It seemed like a homely joining of Monster High, Liv, and Bratz. But after a while, I adjusted to these unique dolls and suddenly saw the beauty in them. However, it took me some time to take to these "Basic" Zillaz. Their key special feature would be their painted eyes. All other Bratzillaz have inset ones, which have an incredible amount of detail. Despite the fact that these eyes were the main root of my initial distaste, they grew to be my favorite feature from this franchise. So it was disappointing to say the least to see very stripped down Bratzillaz with no articulation and painted features. I recall that the turning piont for me was when I really took a moment to look at one of the "Basic" dolls, without drawing any comparison to the regular Zillaz. I thought that if these facial screenings had been used on a normal Bratz doll, that I would have been head over heels. And so it was a new mission of mine to get a hold of some of these simple beauties. Sashabella is probably my least favorite one from this collection. But that's not to say she isn't gorgeous. I just find her outfit to be a tad lackluster compared to the other gals'. However her eyes are so sultry and mysterious. I love her silvery eye shadow and the fact that she still sports the same vibrant green eyes and deep purple lipstick that Sashabella dolls are known for. She was the third "Basic" Zillaz dolly in my collection. I knew I might eventually need to purchase some via Amazon if I couldn't track them all down in stores, but I was hoping to find Bella in person, since she was my least favorite. Sure enough, she turned up in Wal-Mart's clearance section one day, for just a few dollars. She actually has gorgeous hair, even though it is nylon.
Notes for guidance in scratch building rolling stock
Drawing can be used to build from single side wagon upwards, suggest four plank as max. If you use cut down pins to represent bolts make sure the plank thickness is greater than the pin plus strapping or they come through to the interior. All the strapping, hinges and added detail are from various sections of wood, sanded and shaped where required. It may be preferred to represent the strapping with quality card.
Main measurements apart from depth of solebar, are not cast in concrete. If you are operating small (narrow) locos the width can be reduced at the same time reduce the length to keep general ratio of L to W. I have made short wheel base models up to at least 2 inches shorter using same width.
In order to introduce variety in ones stock, the ends may be made level or curved. Smallish cans are useful in finding a suitable diameter, the smaller the can the higher the centre of the end. The strapping on the end can be a single piece of wood or two at right angles forming an angle iron effect. It can also include the buffer beam or finish immediately above it. If you wish you can make cuts on the interior of the body where doors are fitted, or just paint interior matt black.
All my models use individual planks as per the supposed prototype but planks can be suggested by scribing a piece of wood to represent the whole side or end.
Where one plank sits on another the edge should be bevelled in order to accentuate that there are separate planks otherwise when painted it could appear as one piece of wood. If you feel you need some pins to support the Resin W, I suggest Peco 00 track pins, very sharp and almost invisible.
Depth of solebar alters coupling/buffer height suggest 12mm minimum and 15mm max. Mine are 5mm thick. There is a suggested coupling height in the Association of 24mm.
I have generally shown on the sketch’s two pin heads (Bolts) where the strapping crosses the planks, on my models I have sometimes only put one, it looks o.k. but I don’t think authentic.
When completed paint to the colour scheme of your choice, mine are light grey with black ironwork. If transfers are to be applied, cover with GLOSS varnish, let dry, apply transfers then finish in MATT varnish.
I have drilled two holes in each wagon floor and bolted underneath a piece of flat iron bar to give some low weight. Could have been glued. Brandbright axleguards with the coil springs look ok. especially on smaller vehicles. I like the curved spoke plastic centre wheels, which should allow running on electric track.
I built my basic van on a ply carcase with the planking as an overlay. The drawing shows that one can choose to have the planks either vertical or horizontal. The strapping to the ends can vary on which method is chosen. With vertical planks it can be a single strap across the centre or a “V” shape from the bottom centre to the top corners. If horizontal the single strap could be vertical up the centre.
I made the floor slightly smaller than that used on wagons as I made the body overlap the floor and extend 1/8 inch below it. The strapping and hinges are made in the same way as for a wagon.
