Dipping into my photo archives in past weeks I found this shot in the Pornic file. Until I became used to it, the naming of places after important dates did seem a particularly French custom. This date resonates with me and brings to mind the concluding pages of my father's diaries.
In the early hours of 8th May 1945, my father was in a column of prisoners being marched away from the PoW camps. They had reached the German-Czech border, after a 'stopover' in a tin mine at Zinnwald. My dad saw the guards shine their torches down and feared they would have no option but to sleep on the wet ground. He suggested to his pals that they leave the column.... Which they did. Unnoticed.
There followed a time of living on their wits for food and shelter, plus a few adventures, until they met three American ex-PoWs, who had found a 15 cwt truck. My dad and his mates hitched a lift to Pilsen where they were officially registered as recovered allied PoWs by the Third US Army.
There followed a flight to Reims in France and thence onward to England where my dad finally arrived home to his wife at 4.30 p.m. in the little village of Claydon, Suffolk on 25th May 1945.
I was born the following year - nearly a Christmas baby. A new little family; a different life.
As my Flickr friends who have read the story know, the help of a fellow member of a local U3A Photography Group has been invaluable to me in publishing, in paperback and kindle format, my father's diary account of his WW2 service, captured at Tobruk, subsequently as a PoW in N. Africa, Italy and Germany:

My royalties are donated to the Red Cross, without whose food parcels sent to the PoW camps, my father felt that 'a lot of us wouldn't have come back'.
Now Wong was one of my favorite characters in Doctor Strange and even though I not quite fond of his costume in this movie and would prefer if he had more green but I wanted his look to match that of the official lego version of Strange, Mordo, and the Ancient One. I wanted to capture what Wong would look like if Lego made an official figure of him so I didn't go too crazy in terms of the arms and the legs.
This was a rather quick custom, I did it in just one day, but it still was pretty tedious because I used an Iron Man torso and I had to get all the printing off. Fun tip for those struggling with getting printing off legos, just use a pencil eraser, it may take some time, but it gets the job done!

This is a wonderful custom work by my friend Mr Gene. He managed to make this awesome long semi truck from the standard / basic hotwheels vintage Thunder Roller and I'm very lucky to own this one of a kind diecast model. Thanks Gene =)

My dear friend Jane (Miga-angel) was so kind to let me have one of her shots of Guiness in my stream. I was happy to use this permission and replaced one of my old photo with this one.
Thanks so much!
A heavily customized Polski Fiat 126p. The donor engine/axle is obviously much wider than stock.
I like this photo since it has a Chinese (Geely), Polish/Italian (126p), Russian (GAZ 24) and American (Cadillac I think) cars visible. Where else would you see such variety expect Cuba?
I present to you, my very last commission...for now! This girl is very special to me, not only does she represent the end of a journey where I've gotten to bond with amazing people as they commission me to create special girls for them, many times materializing their dreams and ideas, but she was also created for a very special friend and supporter of mine! When I first started her I was in the dark as to what special little details to give her, but as her mom kept giving me hints and ideas in conversation, it all became clear: the TMNT are a special symbol for her, AND they are a super fun theme! She started as a Simply Mango Blythe and got the usual work plus special, personalized pull charms, hand-sculpted out of polymer clay by me, and a haircut. She will be traveling back home to New York soon. I hope you love her as much as I had fun creating her! And stay tuned for new custom girls that will be available for adoption soon! <3
Before and After. I Have been taking a break from the first gear stuff lately, but this is my latest truck
Clichés de Stanza, pullip Galene, avec sa toute nouvelle custo. Les couleurs froides vont, à mon goût, à merveille à ce modèle.
Enjoy !

Custom Airborne using the torso of Thunder. I figured he seems like a logical choice as a Steel Brigade leader.
One of the Steel Brigade troopers in the background is also a custom, I swapped the arms with the ones from my childhood Spirt (that broke long ago).
Made another cubedude..really fun builds..credit to Maclane for the cubedude invention..the claws/abs/hair are mine as well as other little touches but Maclane has more then inspired me with his great cubedudes..one more WIP left to finish..while im probably more of a Batman fan in the past..it seems the Wolverine has made it to equal fav..can t wait for X men days of future past! Thanks for the support guys..i like how the shadow is kinda like an X
KO Custom's great Nightcrawler.
I made a few MODs on this including painting the Elves Hair and then giving it a "haircut" as (strangely) it is bushier in the front than the standard Spikey hair -- I think it has to do with the soft plastic molding for the Elves hair... nevertheless I think it looks much better now.
I also incorporated SGP's legs (and painted the hips) -- Kyle's new legs had just arrived today in fact, but I had snapped this picture before I had a chance to put them on :)

Just an image of some of my custom torsos from my last build for a discussion on Eurobricks.
I've used sticky labels and an inkjet printer. In an attempt to solve the mis-match between the same printed and Lego colours, I've cut out the matching colour and just applied the design on the reverse of a torso. It's still not perfect, but I think is better than the mis-matching colours I had previously.
