I was finally able to find dowels small enough to fit in the leg pegs! Not sure what I was thinking at the time, but I glued two of the original legs back in place. I guess I thought I could’ve easily find replacements. We were close to a Dollar Tree and I decided to pop in.
The dowel had a loose fit, I had the thinnest width of masking tape and went around the base to make it fit. No glue needed!
I also have been searching for more of this thickness balsa wood. This was my last piece and I cut it wonky, but I needed it done! So I painted it a contrasting colors and really like it!! If I can cut a decent new door, maybe then I can figure out the gouge/chipped wood in the front.
Hoping to stage it properly in the coming weeks.

This serie to share the progress about this second attempt at doing something "original", also to figure out how my brain works when I build. What obstacles I face during the design process and how I overcome them.
So I ended up making a greebly pipe nonsense to complete the build. Not really original but I like it this way. Subtle changes may occur but it should be very close from the final product.
Next entry, we start with real parts.
Also, what I ripp...eh I mean what inspired me for this build:
- NDF Destroyers by Daemoria for the first half and color scheme.
- Valyrian Battleship Bloodraven by Dasnewten for the back.
- Siberia from seb71 for the blue stripes.
- The Eleventh Hour from Daniel Barwegen for some greebles.
- Dragonfly Command Cruiser by Pierre E Fieschi for the sensor mess (use of the ring part).
The finished article, more colour and detail added a small amount of shading here and there. I love this view from the 199 steps to the Abbey, it has been photographed and painted so many times, because it is simply a wonderful place to be!
"The New Bayreuth Palace was built in 1753 after a fire in January 1753 largely destroyed the previous residence - now known as the Old Palace. By 1758 it was essentially completed. In 1604, Bayreuth became the residential city of the Principality of Bayreuth instead of Kulmbach.
The building was built during the reign of the Margrave couple Friedrich III. and Wilhelmine of Prussia. Since the construction of the opera house and the New Palace in the Hermitage had already cost a lot of money, the court architect Joseph Saint-Pierre was faced with the thankless task of building a new residence as quickly as possible and with the most economical means. The proximity of the Hofgarten was probably the decisive factor in choosing the location at the “Rennbahn”, with the disadvantage that five existing buildings there - including the half-finished building of the Reformed Church - had to be included in the planning.
Several buildings that already existed or were under construction were therefore integrated into the structure of the castle. The middle wing with the entrance, staircase and ballroom was created by converting the shell of the reformed church. The resulting oddities in the building can be seen primarily in the apparently walled-up entrances and the roof structures that have shifted in places (only visible from the park). Wilhelmine took a huge part in the planning of the New Palace, which can be seen from the lively correspondence with her brother Friedrich II of Prussia. However, he is said not to have had a high opinion of the building. Wilhelmine died in 1758, the year it was completed.
The New Palace, along with the Margrave couple's other buildings, is an example of the so-called Bayreuth Rococo. Although the size and charisma of the New Palace cannot compete with the Würzburg Residence, for example, it is still one of the major works of German architecture of the 18th century. The confusing grouping of rooms in the north wing expressed Wilhelmine's capricious preference for breaking through the strict courtly hierarchy of apartments and dissolving them into a series of island-like rooms. She herself designed, among other things, the Mirror Shard Cabinet and the Old Music Room.
The rooms have been remarkably preserved in their original condition, including the stucco work, wall paneling, parquet floors, doors, etc.; The furnishings and paintings are partly original and partly added later. Highlights are the lavish ballroom, which is equipped with the finest gold stucco and stately pilasters, and the so-called Palm Room (possibly a meeting room for the Freemasons' Lodge) in the men's wing of the castle. In the Mirror Shard Cabinet, irregularly shaped mirror pieces were placed on the ceiling and walls instead of symmetrical mirrors. The walls of the so-called espalier rooms use raised stucco to give the impression of espaliered frameworks with very naturalistic plants. The music room contains portraits of the actors, singers and instrumentalists who worked at court. The picture program in the margrave couple's apartments bears witness to the delicate diplomatic balancing act of the Franconian Hohenzollerns in the wars of the Prussian King Frederick II against Maria Theresa and Franz I Stephen, in which the margrave managed to maintain neutrality and avoid war complications While Wilhelmine's anteroom is furnished with portraits of her Prussian family circle, a picture of the Habsburg-Lorraine imperial couple hangs in the margrave's anteroom.
Bayreuth (German: [baɪˈʁɔʏt], Upper Franconian: [ba(ː)ˈɾaɪ̯t]; Bareid) is a town in northern Bavaria, Germany, on the Red Main river in a valley between the Franconian Jura and the Fichtel Mountains. The town's roots date back to 1194. In the 21st century, it is the capital of Upper Franconia and has a population of 72,148 (2015). It hosts the annual Bayreuth Festival, at which performances of operas by the 19th-century German composer Richard Wagner are presented.
Bayreuth lies on the Red Main river, the southern of the two headstreams of the river Main, between the Fichtelgebirge Mountains and Franconian Switzerland. The town is also part of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region.
Upper Franconia (German: Oberfranken) is a Regierungsbezirk (administrative [Regierungs] region [bezirk]) of the state of Bavaria, southern Germany. It forms part of the historically significant region of Franconia, the others being Middle Franconia and Lower Franconia, which are all now part of the German Federal State of Bayern (Bavaria).
With more than 200 independent breweries which brew approximately 1000 different types of beer, Upper Franconia has the world's highest brewery-density per capita. A special Franconian beer route (Fränkische Brauereistraße) runs through many popular breweries.
The administrative region borders on Thuringia (Thüringen) to the north, Lower Franconia (Unterfranken) to the west, Middle Franconia (Mittelfranken) to the south-west, and Upper Palatinate (Oberpfalz) to the south-east, Saxony (Sachsen) to the north-east and the Czech Republic to the east.
After the founding of the Kingdom of Bavaria the state was totally reorganized and, in 1808, divided into 15 administrative government regions (German: Regierungsbezirke (singular Regierungsbezirk)), in Bavaria called Kreise (singular: Kreis). They were created in the fashion of the French departements, quite even in size and population, and named after their main rivers.
In the following years, due to territorial changes (e. g. loss of Tyrol, addition of the Palatinate), the number of Kreise was reduced to 8. One of these was the Mainkreis (Main District). In 1837 king Ludwig I of Bavaria renamed the Kreise after historical territorial names and tribes of the area. This also involved some border changes or territorial swaps. Thus the name Mainkreis changed to Upper Franconia.
Next to the former episcopal residence city of Bamberg, the capital Bayreuth, the former residence city of Coburg and the classicist centre of Hof, as well as the towns of Lichtenfels, Kronach, Gößweinstein and Kulmbach, the Weißenstein Palace, Banz Abbey and the Basilica of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, the scenic attractions of the River Main and the low mountain ranges of the Fichtel Mountains with the town of Wunsiedel and the Franconian Forest belong among the region's major tourist attractions. There are also numerous spas like Bad Rodach, Bad Steben, Bad Staffelstein, Bad Berneck and Bad Alexandersbad." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.
Now on Instagram.
On Christmas Eve (24/12) 2024, 2122s (Aurizon wagon transfer) is seen approaching the Beaumont road bridge, Yantaringa (SA) with alf22 hauling wagon QQYY 57966 & GM37. The wagon was removed from 4PM1 on 20/12 & placed on the dead end siding at Balhannah. With access to the dead end siding being at the Melbourne end of Balhannah yard, a top & tail arrangement took place.
As I'd recently worn the black and white versions of this long sunray pleated skirt, I thought I'd spend some time in the 3rd one I have which is in a shade of red.

I made it. 12 hours, 130 studs long. Now I'm pretty exhausted, so proper photography will have to wait until tomorrow.
Metra Rock Island Train 625 departs Gresham preparing to make Local stops between here and Vermont St/ Blue Island Station. Here is the back of the train slowly creeping out of the station before branching off and making its next stop at Brainerd.
Completed and soon to be on it's way to somewhere far far away from here! I hope my partner loves it as much as I do!

My completed LEGO model of No. 70 'Elizabeth II' (normally 34027 'Taw Valley').
I started designing this when I heard that the Severn Valley Railway would be repainting Taw Valley purple, and renaming it to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
I started with my previous Merchant Navy design. The model is built in dark purple due to part availability. I also made lots of smaller changes to improve on the MN design, such as a new cab, brake rigging, tweaked proportions, and Powered Up gear in the tender.
The model uses Breckland Bricks custom Firth-Brown wheels and rods, Fox Transfers numbers, and a home printed smokebox number plate.
Say hello to Amelia. I imagine that she's totally jaunty and likes to dance into the wee hours of the morning.
I'm not so great with the stem stitch yet, so I gotta keep trying!

『Luv-able and Hug-able～ぬいぐるみ展～JM Special』
2015/2/17 - 3/8 at Daikanyama Junie Moon in Tokyo, Japan
Noa's cottage has (temporarily) been moved to the other side of the patio. We got new neighbours, and the old ugly wall between our patio and their backyard has been demolished. Until there is a new wall, Noa will have to camp in her cottage and a makeshift pen against the opposite wall. She won't be able to play on the patio for a while, because there's a 6m long open passage to the neighbours' backyard and driveway - and thus the public road - when there's no wall.
LNER Gresley A4 60009 ''Union of South Africa'' at Doncaster works on a foggy wet day in November 1963. This was the last loco in BR service to have a complete overhaul there, and the wooden platforms in front of the loco and tender are presumably for some sort of 'group photo'..
The loco was withdrawn in June 1966, and purchased for preservation.
Today (2018) it is in operation on UK mainline tracks, for excursions and railtours. There are plans to permanently 'retire' the loco and place it in a museum, sometime in 2019..

Completed design for shirt print! Looks like teefury will be doing it. Will update when i know when.....
This is my tribute to the lovely Lumpy Golightly. As I looked through her photostream I realised that I could not get up to her standard in food shots, nor do I have any quotes that would work as well as hers so I chose this shot and did a variation...
Can you spot the wierdo, the nutter, the strange person etc etc lol
I had so much fun doing this shot and I worked long and hard on it, I hope you enjoy it...
Here is the inspiration shot

I have no name my face a blur
I speak only to answer them
White noise becomes a voice
I hear it constantly
I dare not break the circuit
I rest only for a short time
This time I promise I won't give up
My vision now is incomplete
I am affected by the warmth
A change of tone unusual sound
Is this the time to decline
I dare not break the circuit
I rest only for a short time
This time I promise I won't give up
I have no right to let it go
I have no right to do so
I have no right to let it go
I have no right to do so
They control the circuit
Embodiment of what I've done
If I waver from this circle
A second pass and then I'm found
He who walks behind me
He once saw the morning sun
He once saw the morning sun
I dare not break the circuit
I rest only for a short time
This time I promise I won't give up

So half of the wonky log cabin blocks are done. I think I have about 11 or so more to make ... maybe a couple more if I need to change some out. I'm not sure if I want to make some all green/aqua ones or not. I'll try a few and see how they look. I can't believe how slowly I'm going on this project.
Back story: In our 2016 visit to LA, we landed at LAX, got our rental car, ate an early lunch at Pann's, and then drove through the city, leisurely, to get to our hotel in Pasadena. As we drove, I got this Firestone neon shot (like old Arby's signs, I shoot old Firestone signs whenever I see them). I came across this photo again just today, going through old folders, and curious at what looked like construction in the photo, googled to search for info......and discovered that it was indeed construction. I'm really glad I shot this!

I hope you like the border and circular quilting partner. It finished around 19" and will be perfectly plump with a 20" pillow form - unfortunately I didn't have one to show it off. Will send it out with a few small goodies this weekend!
4 12" Swoon blocks with wider sashing to accomodate extra stars. The finished quilt is 34x34" and all but one of the fabrics if from various Moda ranges. I straight line quilted it, echoing some of the seam lines.
