The annual Torbay half marathon held on a Sunday in late June sees many roads around Torquay & Paignton closed for the morning. Most services diverted via the Ring Road providing a few opportunities to catch buses in places they wouldn't normally run in. Top of my list was the two Rail River Link services, the NT5 & 100 that leave Torquay's Strand area at 09.30 & 10.00. In previous years I'd caught their Pointer Dart & Leyland Olympian running through the heart of Torquay shopping area, and was wanting to finally get one of their open top VRs there, but with persistent rain I thought there was little chance of that being possible this year. Happily the familiar sound of a VR could be heard roaring up the bottom part of Fleet Street bound for Totnes. I had to leave the shelter of Fleet Walk's covered areas to get this shot, but retreated swiftly after. lol!
For those who don't know the River Fleet used to run down where Fleet Street now resides, but on days like this it tries to make a reappearance!!

Seen on a little Rock at Fleet Pond
A really nice little loop of Fleet Pond. Just avoided the rain and chatted to a couple of nice old ladies. Happy day's for a Friday.
Inspired by micro fleets such as this one by Chewk, and this one by Gladius, and spurred on by my recent enjoyment with Microspace, I decided to build a fleet of my own! I've had these built for over two weeks, but I've only just managed to upload them after struggling to get the fleet succesfully photographed. They are built to play against my friends (with fleets they will build no matter what they may think :P), and are based on this set of MicroSpaceWars rules by Spook. Enjoy, and take a look at the individual photos for info on each ship.

From Wikipedia: the 'blue hour' comes from the French expression l'heure bleue, which refers to the period of twilight each morning and evening where there is neither full daylight nor complete darkness. The time is considered special because of the quality of the light at this time of day.
I had intended to try to shoot video of the flybys with the D810, but I soon discovered that it was impossible to see what I was doing on the LCD in the bright sun.
I guess I should add a video camera to my wish list; or a mirrorless camera that would let me look through the view finder while shooting video.
The things you learn in hindsight....
And now for a debut over two years in the making!
*drumroll*
Micro Fleet!
Back between late 2013 and early 2014 I had nearly fallen out of Lego. Not wanting to abandon my longtime hobby, I challenged myself to come up with something where I could get both quality and quantity (especially quantity). I soon found myself inspired by Rumrunner's Micro Battlefield tanks and Bruce Lowell's Battleship, I decided to create a fleet of warships and support vessels in microscale. They first debuted at BrickFair Virginia 2014 where they were well received. They have subsequently gone on exhibition at BFVA 2015 and 2016 and have remained a big hit. Of course, I have greatly procrastinated on sharing them with you all, for two years...
L-R
Aircraft Carrier
Battleship / Battlecruiser
Escort Carrier
Merchant / Oiler / Landing Ship
Gunboat / Escort Vessel
Tug / Auxiliary Vessel
MTB / Landing Craft
These are all relatively easy to make, but the most important piece that limits construction for me personally is part number 47905. More ship classes are in the works (I've been struggling to come up with a destroyer design), and the goal is to eventually create a large diorama showcasing all of these. Water (trans-blue studs) has been hard to come by, so special thanks to Dan for donating so much of it back when these debuted in 2014. I'll share some sample dioramas I've had later today.

The last time these two were together publicly was at M&D East Kent 60th Celebrations in 2012. (A few pictures are on Flickr) Later on that year the Dominator would be withdrawn and sold to myself. A year later 5916 found its way into my collection. A long term ambition personally.
Today we see the reunion of the former fleet mates once more together... Now in preservation.

After months of sitting around I finally finished my SHIPtember ship, the Megatherium. It tops out at 116 studs long and makes a great addition to the rest of the fleet. Here is hoping it can defend its honor on Saturday against the other microspace gamers...

Fleet Street is a street in the City of London named after the River Fleet, London's largest underground river. It was the home of British national newspapers until the 1980s. Even though the last major British news office, Reuters, left in 2005, the term Fleet Street continues to be used as a metonym for the British national press.
The Sunsail Fleet tied up outside Port Solent.
For learning to sail, boating holidays right up to Corporate events, their fleet of 48 boats is amazing.
I once crewed on one of their 40ft yachts - once experienced, never forgotten.
I started this fleet with the goal of keeping each ship small. I was getting a bit of size creep on some of the microspace ships I built last year. I started with the cruiser and went down in size from there. More views in my microspace album.

Here is my current fleet of *completed* GWR locos.
Left to right.
GWR king class
GWR City class
GWR Dean Goods class
GWR 2600 class (rebuild soon)
GWR 5101 class
GWR 9400 class
For those of you who have seen my work from the beginning, you may be wondering about my GWR 5700 and 1400 classes. Long story short, they are old models, made in LDD only, so lack of parts was a thing with those builds. Thinking of going ahead and trying to reverse engineer tracepierce2592 locos, but that will be a while off. For now, my main focus is finishing off the rest of my large steam engines on the list. Containing GWR, LMS, LNER, SR and BR standards.
