My U-wing V2.0 is officially complete! This ship is one of the best things to come out of the Disney Era of Star Wars and I wanted to do this amazing design justice. I originally created a U-wing Moc ~7 years ago and while it was fine for the time, looking back it has some major issues. New part releases and some greater experience helped me craft my version 2.0.
I'm also excited to announce that INSTRUCTIONS ARE AVAILABLE at www.brickvault.toys. if you're interested, please feel free to head over there and purchase them so you can also build this for yourself!
I will be posting more of this one as well, so also keep an eye out for that. I hope yall enjoy!
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.

After three years of restoration that covered the 150-year old dome of the Capitol in scaffolding, the $60 million project was completed this week.
Workers had to repair 1,300 cracks and fix or replace cast-iron ornaments.
One goal of the project was that it be finished in time for the presidential inauguration in January.
Now let's wait for the congress that will fill the exquisite shell - it is up to them to truly justify the expenditure!
Origami Giganotosaurus Final Version
Design by: Shuki Kato
Folded from: one 21" square of O-gami
Size: 15" long
Time spent folding: Approx. 15 hours
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).
In the late 1950s, Wolverhampton Council proposed a controversial and costly project to build a ring road around the town, to divert ‘through traffic’ away from the town centre. As with most towns in Britain, the huge increase in private car ownership was becoming a headache for the town’s planners.
As part of the town’s future road planning, it was decided that the building of the ‘Ring Road’ would also force the abandonment of the town’s trolleybus system, as the council wanted ‘no trolleybuses or trolleybus infrastructure’ to encounter the new Ring Road! This commitment would become a huge finical burden on the local rate-payers, so budgetary restraints were made where possible. Construction of the Ring Road began in 1961, but took almost three decades to complete.
Between June 1963 and March 1967, Wolverhampton Corporation Transport purchased 146 new double-deck motorbuses to replace the post-war trolleybus fleet. The financial enormity of funding the conversion program impacted on the quality of the new motorbus purchases, with savings having to be made. From 1965 – 1967, the Transport Department’s budget constraints forced them to opt for cheaper bus bodies to be fitted to the locally built Guy Arab V motorbus chassis that the council were duty-bound to purchase. Strachan (Coachbuilders) Ltd of Hamble, Hampshire became the new bus body supplier, but these budget built bus bodies for the Guy Arabs would soon prove to be sub-standard, resulting in short service lives due to structural fatigue.
On the demise of the town's last trolleybuses in March 1967, came the news that twelve high-capacity single-deck buses had been ordered. In July 1967, the ‘Transport Department’ took delivery of six AEC Swifts (708-713) and six Daimler Roadliners (714-719), all having Strachan built dual-doored bodies. This may have been seen as an extravagant purchase in lieu of the tax payers money recently spent on the trolleybus replacement fleet?
The buses appeared very modern looking, with large windows and spacious high-roofed interiors, being very similar in design to London Transport’s Strachan bodied ‘Red Arrow’ buses that had been new to the capital in 1966. The intension from the outset was to trial the concept of ‘pay-on-entry’ buses, with passengers paying the driver on boarding the bus.
The new buses were initially put to work on the No1 Tettenhall service to gauge public reaction to 'pay-on-entry, and assessing operational issues. However, after a few weeks the experiment was ended and crew-operated double-deckers reinstated to the route. Against all expectations, the costly experiment hadn’t been a success, having been met with mixed reactions from the travelling public who were not used to paying the driver on boarding, much preferring bus conductors to take their fares. It was also found that the ‘Cummins V6’ engined Daimler ‘Roadliners’ in particular, didn’t like the intense ‘stop and start’ work on this short urban service. Therefore a decision was made to redeploy these buses to rural services, such as the lengthy No17 and No31 routes to Bridgnorth in Shropshire. In this setting, the stops were fewer and the average speeds were higher, but as a cost saving measure the buses continued to be used as ‘pay-on-entry’ vehicles.
In October 1969, 708-719, along with the rest of the former Wolverhampton Corporation bus fleet, became part of the newly formed West Midlands PTE, whereupon they were renumbered 708N - 719N.
The first victim to early withdrawal was Roadliner 714N, which was lost to fire when working the No17 Bridgnorth service in November 1971. The following year, AEC Swifts 708, 711 were withdrawn and sold to Northampton Transport for further use.
The remaining buses continued to be allocated to Wolverhampton’s Bilston Garage, their duties staying much the same until the loss of the rural bus network in December 1973. The Midland Red taking over these services from WMPTE as part of a wider operational agreement between the two concerns.
Being relatively modern buses and suitable for one-man-operation, WMPTE continued to use the remaining Roadliners and Swifts, but with an eye to disposing of them when the opportunity arose as they did not fit the general fleet profile. Despite the Roadliners continuing to be mechanically troublesome, 716-719 received repaints into WMPTE livery in 1972 and 1973, and may have received body strengthen modifications in preparation? However, the AEC Swifts were never repainted out of their Wolverhampton colours.
Following the premature exit of 708N, 711N (pictured) and 714N, the next to go was Roadliner 715N in July 1973 suffering structural faults to its Strachan built body. It was sold for scrap in May 1974 still wearing WCT green and yellow.
The remaining AEC Swifts came out of service between 1973 to 1974, and the last Roadliners were finally withdrawn between the end of 1974 and January of 1975. Some of these buses found new owners, but all eventually ended up being scrapped with the exception of 719N. Today, 719(N) survives at the Transport Museum Wythall, restored into WCT livery.
The picture taken by the late Dave Everitt, show AEC Swift 711N pulling out onto Railway Drive, as it departs Victoria Square Bus Station for Cheslyn Hay in July 1970.
As for the previously mentioned ‘Ring Road’, that has further relevance to this picture, as part of its Eastern section runs right through the location where this picture was taken.

After weeks of renovation, the downstairs room of the dollhouse addition is ready to furnish. This room served as a millinery shop when the addition was originally part of this house (I was 18). Since it has an exterior door, it may serve as a shop again sometime. I considered adding a fireplace along this wall like I did in each room of the main house, but I decided not to due to space. I regret that decision a little, but happy to have a full wall.

I made it. 12 hours, 130 studs long. Now I'm pretty exhausted, so proper photography will have to wait until tomorrow.
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

Completing a day of excursions in June of 2008, the crew of the Wilmington & Western Railroad's pretty 4-4-0 American #98 takes their locomotive across State Route 41, aka the Newport Gap Pike, en route to the water tank at the station in Greenbank, Delaware. The crew will shortly top off their locomotive's tender cistern with water, before shoving back to the company shops in nearby Marshallton.

The four women in charge of the effort to build and test the 212-foot-tall rocket stage that will enable NASA's first Artemis mission to the Moon watch as the first completed core stage for NASA's Space Launch System Program rolls out from the agency's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans on Jan. 8, 2020. These key leaders are, from left, Lisa Bates, NASA Stages element deputy manager; Jennifer Boland-Masterson, Boeing Michoud production/operations manager; Julie Bassler, NASA Stages element manager; and, Noelle Zietsman, Boeing chief engineer. Each of these women manage the entire scope of design, development, testing and production of the complex core stage that will power the super heavy-lift rocket and the agency's Artemis lunar missions. Combined, the women have 90 years of experience in the aerospace and defense industries. Bassler and Bates previously held leadership positions within many NASA programs and projects, including International Space Station, space shuttle, microgravity experiments, robotic lunar landers and other launch vehicles. Â Manufacturing of the core stages for the SLS rocket is a multistep, collaborative process for NASA and Boeing, the core stage lead contractor. The first core stage for Artemis I is undergoing the core stage Green Run test series at NASA's Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, ahead of the program's first launch. Michoud manufacturing teams are currently producing core stages for the second and third Artemis missions.
NASA is working to land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024. SLS is part of NASA’s backbone for deep space exploration, along with Orion and the Gateway in orbit around the Moon. SLS will be the most powerful rocket in the world and will send astronauts in the Orion spacecraft farther into space than ever before. No other rocket is capable of carrying astronauts in Orion around the Moon.

Completed in 1967, this was the home to Jacksonville's daily newspaper until it moved to an office tower downtown. Plans are in place to demolish the building and redevelop the riverfront property.
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.
