Greetings everyone! After a couple of months work I am proud to present my minifigure scale Zeta-class cargo shuttle.
“Manufactured by Telgorn Corporation with Sienar Fleet Systems, the Zeta-class shuttle carries a modular ‘interstellar orange’ cargo pod for versatility mounted on a 35.5m length frame.”
Ever since Rogue One introduced the design, the industrial mining tug aesthetic appealed to me. It has the kit-bashed sensibility that I love in Star Wars, so I set about a UCS sized build.
The lower cargo deck has space for troops and features a communications patch bay. I’m still working on finishing touches to the upper deck, but it houses the two seat command console and aft tech station.
The gearing mechanism from 10212 locks the wings upright. By simply lifting the top deck away I can adjust the angle if required. The wingspan measures 1.15m, so I have yet to find space to photograph the wings in flight mode!
During construction I used LDD for rapid prototyping. I still need to update the final build into the program, but the current ballpark is 4000 pieces.
The Rogue One ultimate visual guide and Battlefront Scarif DLC were invaluable for determining the proportions.
My personal technique for ‘minifigure scale’ is to calculate in-universe size against stud length. Small craft like speeders and skimmers skew towards 4.0s/m, starfighters 3.5s/m and large craft (e.g. UCS Slave 1 and Lambda shuttle) at 2.7s/m.
Therefore I aimed for 92s long and 75s high. The final model measures 88s (l) 70s (h) 48s (w) / 70cm (l) 56cm (h) 38cm (w).
Finally I threw together a Scarif landing pad for a diorama.
Hope you all like it!
Not always easy to pull off here sometimes the traffic doesn't work especially if a truck end up wandering into shot!

Needless to say I was wondering up to the Atmospheric Railway Inn for a pint on a fine Spring afternoon.
Class leaders 3801 and 4201 (at the rear) lead a shuttle bound for Hurstville through Carlton on a rather wet day.
Over the weekend of 13-14 March 2021, 3801 had its 'Relaunch Event' and performed its first passenger service runs since its return to service, having been withdrawn for overhaul since 2008.
Over the weekend a number of shuttle services from Central to Hurstville were performed, all of which tickets were completely sold out weeks earlier.
Putting together a Photography/Lighting class for the spring. Trying to see if there is any interest out there. It would be held in West Chester, PA and Philly over 2 days. The class would be concentrating on the techniques I use for studio and outdoor lighting, along with some post production tips. 10-15 people max. GOOD TIMES!!!!!!!!

I had a long chat on Zoom the other day with Lady Amanda Barclay, who (as you probably know) is managing The Salon during my prolonged absence.
Lady Amanda told me that they were very busy during the Coronation weekend. Lord Belcher, Lord Bromley, Lord Fanshawe, Lord Quentin Mowbray and Lord Trent were all in a sulk about not having been invited io the Coronation itself. So Lord Belcher organized a lingerie party at The Salon, with all of our regular girls, and a few extra performers thrown in for good measure.
Their Noble Lordships all had a fabulous time with our girls! Around about midnight – when the orgy had reached its peak – Lord Trent was heard to remark: “Where would you all rather be right now, boys? Here, or in Westminster Abbey?”
Toodle Pip!
Love and Kisses to all my Friends and Fans!

A inizio autunno, complice l'Oktoberfest, feci un sato nel paradiso dei diesel, ovvero tra e Burghausen. Purtroppo non feci molte foto. Una di queste ritrae il passaggio di un pesante completo di cisterne, proveniente dalla Wackerwerk di Burghausen.

In the late 1980s many British Rail DMUs were replaced by the Class 150 which was produced by BREL, its own trainmaking company.
Competition for this contract was provided by Metro-Cammell of Washwood Heath, Birmingham, who made a pair of Class 151s for evaluation. These were unsuccessful, but continued in BR service for a while before being withdrawn in 1989.

The classic Theory of the Leisure Class (1899) by the Norvegian-American sociologist and economist Thorstein Veblen is certainly still relevant today, perhaps even more so than a century ago, and not only in the western world...
