The view West from Ben Nevis summit - Carn Dearg in the foreground and Loch Eil in the distance. Centurion is the name of the 900ft route up the Carn.
A bronze sculpture in St Albans, done by Erica Morgan. The work is a relatively recent one - highlighting the city's Roman past.
Reworking of a photo of the gorgeous St John's Point Lighthouse in Co Down. Taken at dusk as the beams were becoming more prominent.
At long last, I finished another vehicle! This was used by the Royal Engineers during the first Gulf War, built on the always dependable Centurion chassis. Make you check out the other pictures to see it with the blade up. Hope you guys like it!

Bronze sculpture by Erica Morgan. The sculpture is overlooking the Abbey Theatre, on the left, and a complex of sports halls, to the right. The town, St Albans, was originally a Roman city, Verulamium. The artist, very empathetically, supplied the centurion with a raincoat - something you need up in the north.
Saw this old road yacht walking around town and thought it was awesome. Tried to color grade this to look more like an old photo to match the age of the car.

There have been 2 changes made to the latest installment of what has to be my favorite tank. The first change is the side skirts. Instead of using that piece that leaves a spacing in between the hull and the skirts(I’m not very good with terminology and part names) I used some other kinda technique which y’all will see when I do the breakdown for the hull although for some of y’all it might seem obvious. The second is the back of the tank. In my recent pursuit to beautify the butts of my builds I have rebuilt the back of the tank, making it match the rear of the mark 1 hull. Anyway, hope y’all like it!

The overhead paraphernalia is progressing at a rapid pace. This view has changed beyond recognition almost but the shot is still on albeit a tad cluttered.

Returning to York Minster for the second of two look-ups that I captured during my visit, this was taken beneath one of the smaller towers southeast of the building and situated next to the enormous St Cuthbert's Window. The south choir aisle was one of the quietest locations in the Minster, largely overshadowed by the taller and older Central Tower and easily missed next to the grandeur of the Choir, Altar and Presbytery alongside it. There was an understated elegance about the scene, though: besides its perfect symmetry and the pattern from the carvings along the ceiling, the late-morning sunlight streaming through the windows created a bright and airy atmosphere that contrasted with some of the darker and moodier corners of the building.
My aim with this image was an almost high-key finish, but the challenge at both the shooting and editing stages was capturing the level of detail I wanted in both the highlights and the shadows. There was light pouring through the windows, to the point where detail in the window panes and along the stonework was almost blown out, but at the same time there were portions of the Minster's arches which, based on the position of the sun, remained hidden in the shadows. The final result is a blend of eight exposures to create a balanced level of light across the frame, combined using luminosity masks in Photoshop and with additional selections made using the Pen Tool to isolate and adjust portions of the ceiling, tower, windows and arches. The ceiling along the right side of the frame was significantly darker than the left and required midtones and shadows from the brighter exposures in order to match the left side and create a near-symmetrical finish. Similarly, based on the position of the sun, the level of light coming through the lower-left window was much brighter than the light in the lower-right, and the highlights here needed to be toned down with darker exposures without affecting the stonework around the window pane.
Having blended the exposures to a point where the image felt balanced, the colour-grading phase was fairly straightforward. I removed much of the yellow and red tones across the ceiling, keeping the golden hue in the gilded ceiling bosses but using Hue/Saturation and Colour Balance adjustments to push for a colder temperature across the rest of the frame. After this, I used two low-opacity Gradient Maps set to Soft Light for a form of split-toning: the first was targeted to the midtones and adjusted the temperature to an even colder finish, while the second was specifically for the highlights and restored some of the warmth from the sunlight outside the Minster.
Inside Nik's Colour Efex Pro, I used the Tonal Contrast filter to lower the midtone and shadow structure and soften the finish along the ceiling, and the Detail Extractor filter to bring out the texture and nuance within the windows. Setting adjustments in Silver Efex Pro to the Luminosity blend mode, I then gently increased the Dynamic Contrast and selectively raised the shadow exposure across the image for a brighter finish.
The final result hopefully conveys the magnificent architecture inside York Minster, as well as a sense of the resplendent light filling the building's interior. It was interesting to later read that the 14th-century St Cuthbert's Window was designed to throw additional light onto the High Altar, because as awe-inspiring as the window's size and detail might be in their own right, it's an example of the building's design functioning seamlessly and using natural light to make the location that much more remarkable.

This moc was made for the prelim round of the 2020 Biocup. Not much of a story to it other than that. I can't say I'm entirely satisfied with it, but hey, what can you do. Exams and competing in a lego contest don't exactly mix well.
Had a lot of fun building an angry panther head. It was a bit tricky finding the right balance of details on the armor without making it too messy, but I'm glad to have found the minifigure shields, small wheel hubcaps and minifigure microphones for round silver highlights! This is my largest full-body character so far, and it took a bit longer to finish than other characters, but I am super happy with the pose and the expression of the final thing. More animal humanoids coming soon...?
