I got a roll of Realia ISO100 and was getting the Yashica-A ready. SO I thought a shot was in order.

 

Shot on my new "velvety" hardboard mat found at a thrift store. I think it was photo framing mat.

 

If I ever have the luck to find one of these really rough but functional, I'm going to put a Polariod back onto it somehow. I already have a homemade back waiting from a broken Model 310 Land Camera.

These were an off shoot project sort of inspired by my garlichitecture pots. I'm not a musician, but I have many friends who are. These are probably the most productive result of a YouTube wormhole, I was fascinated by the sounds they made. #clay #ceramic #sound #music #musical #instrument #windinstrument #huaca #clayinstrument #stoneinstrument #ocarina #pods #lungs #triple #stoneware #pottery #sculpture #handmade #wheel #wheelthrown #handbuilt #functional

The model and its assembly:

My second attempt to create a functional H0 scale what-if locomotive – and after I “only” did a color variant with some cosmetic changes on the basis of a Märklin V160/BR 216 diesel locomotive, I wanted something more special and challenging. However, kitbashing model locomotives with a metal chassis that includes a functional motor, respective drivetrain/gearing and electronics is not as easy as gluing some plastic parts together. And finding “matching” donor parts for such a stunt is also not as easy as it may seem. But what would life be without attempts to widen its boundaries?

 

This time I wanted an electric locomotive. Inspiration (and occasion) somewhat struck when I stumbled upon a running/functional chassis of a Märklin E 10/BR 110 (#3039), just without light and naturally missing the whole upper hull. Due to its incompleteness, I got it for a reasonable price, though. With this basis I started to watch out for eventual (and affordable) donor parts for a new superstructure, and remembered the collectible, non-powered all-plastic locomotive models from Atlas/IXO.

 

The good thing about the Märklin 3039 chassis was that it was just a solid and flat piece of metal without integrated outer hull elements, headstock or side skirts, so that a new hull could (theoretically) be simply tailored to fit over this motorized platform. Finding something with the exact length would be impossible, so I settled upon an Atlas H0 scale Nederlands Spoorwegen Series 1200 locomotive model, which is markedly longer than the German BR 110, due to its six axles vs. the E 10/BR 110’s four. Another selling point: the NS 1200’s body is virtually blank in its middle section, ideal for shortening it to match the different chassis. Detail of the Atlas plastic models is also quite good, so there was the potential for something quite convincing.

 

Work started with the disassembly of the static Atlas NS Class 1200 model. It's all-styrene, just with a metal plate as a chassis. Against my expectations the model's hull was only held on the chassis by two tiny screws under the "noses", so that I did not have to use force to separate it. The body's walls were also relatively thin, good for the upcoming modifications. The model also featured two nice driver's stations, which could be removed easily, too. Unfortunately; they had to go to make enough room for the electronics of the Märklin 3039 all-metal chassis.

 

Dry-fitting the chassis under the Class 1200 hull revealed that the stunt would basically work - the chassis turned out to be only marginally too wide. I just had to grind a little of the chassis' front edges away to reduce pressure on the styrene body, and I had to bend the end sections of the chassis’ stabilizing side walls.

To make the Class 1200 hull fit over the shorter BR 110 chassis a section of about 3 cm had to be taken out of the body’s middle section. The Class 1200 lent itself to this measure because the body is rather bare and uniform along its mid-section, so that re-combining two shortened halves should not pose too many problems.

 

To make the hull sit properly on the chassis I added styrene profiles inside of it - easy to glue them into place, thanks to the material. At this time, the original fixed pantographs and some wiring on the roof had gone, brake hoses on the nose were removed to make space for the BR 110 couplers, and the clear windows were removed after a little fight (they were glued into their places, but thankfully each side has three separate parts instead of just one that would easily break). PSR on the seam between the hull halves followed, plus some grey primer to check the surface quality.

 

Even though the new body now had a proper position on the metal chassis, a solution had to be found to securely hold it in place. My solution: an adapter for a screw in the chassis’ underside, scratched. I found a small area next to the central direction switch where I could place a screw and a respective receiver that could attached to the body’s roof. A 3 mm hole was drilled into the chassis’ floor and a long Spax screw with a small diameter was mated with a hollow square styrene profile, roughly trimmed down in length to almost reach the roof internally. Then a big lump of 2C putty was put into the hull, and the styrene adapter pressed into it, so that it would held well in place. Fiddly, but it worked!

 

Unfortunately, the pantographs of the Atlas/IXO model were static and not flexible at all. One was displayed raised while the other one was retracted. Due to the raised pantograph’s stiffness the model might lose contact to or even damage the model railroad catenary, even when not pulling power through it – not a satisfactory condition. Since the chassis could be powered either from below or through the pantographs (the Märklin 3039 chassis offers an analogue switch underneath to change between power sources) I decided to pimp my build further and improve looks and functionality. I organized a pair of aftermarket diamond pantographs, made from metal, fully functional and held in place on the model’s roof with (very short and) small screws from the inside.

I was not certain if the screws were conductive, and I had to somehow connect them with the switch in the chassis. I eventually soldered thin wire to the pantographs’ bases, led them through additional small holes in the roof inside and soldered them to the switch input, with an insulating screw joint in-between to allow a later detachment/disassembly without damage to the body. There might have been more elegant solutions, but my limited resources and skills did not allow more. It works, though, and I am happy with it, since the cables won’t be visible from the outside. This layout allows to draw power through them, I just had to create a flexible and detachable connection internally. Some plugs, wire and soldering created a solution – rough (electronics is not my strength!), but it worked! Another investment of money, time and effort into this project, but I think that the new pantographs significantly improve the overall look and the functionality of this model.

 

Internally, the missing light bulbs were retrofitted with OEM parts. A late external addition were PE brass ladders for the shunting platforms and under the doors for the driver’s cabins. They were rather delicate, but the model would not see much handling or railroading action, anyway, and the improve the overall impression IMHO a lot. On the roof, some details like cooling fans and tailored conduits (from the Atlas Series 1200) were added, they partly obscure the seam all around the body.

 

Unfortunately, due to the necessary space for the chassis, its motor and the electronics, the driver stations’ interiors could not be re-mounted – but this is not too obvious, despite the clear windows.

 

These wings were fantastic, they deployed and retracted, I love it when the costumes actually do something.

This space was a pipe dream for some time. When we decided to finish our basement, I was able to carve out a nice area for a fully functional kitchen that doubles as my sewing room. I can and do leave my supplies strewn about and no one can complain! The 1950's metal cabinets were found on Craigslist. They were painted white where there wasn't rust. After being cleaned up, sanded and spray-painted turquoise, I think they turned out great. They already had Formica countertops attached to each individual cabinet. The sink was found at a completely different place and I was shocked to see it matched the cabinets. The woman who had it was kind enough to gift it to me because I intended to restore it. After scraping about three layers of paint and contact paper, I was pleased with the results. There is an ejector pump hidden under the sink. The stove was purchased from a guy who salvaged it from a Chicago bungalow. I bought it without knowing whether it worked or not. My contractor probably thought I was nuts when I asked for a gas line to be run to a 1920's stove. Sure enough, it fired up right away. I also have the manual for the stove. If it weren't for hoarders, how would this stuff survive? The fridge came from my former residence; a 1950's Cape Cod. I kept it in the garage and refused to get rid of it. I used appliance spray paint to achieve a whiter finish. They tend to yellow after so many years. Would you believe I have the original ice cube trays? The checkerboard tiles were pretty much a must-have for me. I languished over the tile choice because I wanted to make it authentic looking, but wanted to make the right material choice for a basement. I ended up settling on a ceramic tile with black grout on a diagonal. I love the look.

SSG Travis W. Atkins was memorialized on January 9, 2013 through the dedication of the Mountain Functional Fitness Facility as the Atkins Functional Fitness Facility. On June 1, 2007 SSG Atkins distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry at the cost of his life in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. While conducting route security in the town of Abu Sarnak, Iraq, SSG Atkins apprehended and began to search a group of suspected insurgents. However, one insurgent resisted and engaged SSG Atkins in hand-to-hand combat. As SSG Atkins attempted to subdue the man, he realized the insurgent was attempting to trigger a suicide vest, which he wore under his clothing. Despite SSG Atkins' efforts, the insurgent finally succeeded in reaching his vest. SSG Atkins selflessly tackled the suicide bomber, pinning him to the ground and shielding his Soldiers from the imminent explosion. In this critical and selfless act of valor in which he was mortally wounded, SSG Atkins saved the lives of three other Soldiers and gallantly gave his life for his country. SSG Travis Atkins was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, our nation's second highest medal for heroism.

Functional top and long johns

In 1928 Jan Duiker built this sanatorium near Hilversum, the Netherlands. It's a good exemple of the functional style of building in these days. Light, air and space are the keywords. See for example in Modern Architecture - Frampton (Thames and Hudson)

Visceral identity

Polarity segment

Amidst fused influence

 

The building of Hessing is completely integrated in the noise barrier of the A2 between Utrecht and Amsterdam. Early on the Sunday morning I did not have to wait too long to get a clear shot across the highway, at home some photoshopping to take out the lampposts and roadsigns.

Junk Jet contains all sorts of works: written, drawn, programmed, photographed, hacked, tinkered, cooked, and played; works that display an addiction for the speculative.

Sam Jacob observes the connection of the sacred and the technical, the moral and the functional. Temporal or reversible, informal networks, beyond the order of power, and observed in Russia or Turkey, are the topic analysed by Peter Mörtenböck and Helge Mooshammer. Within the WWW, but also challenging temporal conventions, Olia Lialina speculates on a mysterious webcam project of an empty bed. Reflecting on the computer as a new tool for designers, Neil Spiller and Georg Trogemann, from very different points of views, deal with machine architecture and their spaces between poetics and cybernetic automata. Roomservices, Aram Bartholl, Annett Zinsmeister, and Dadara deal with the concurrence or clash or completion of virtual and real space. From the photo booth, via a skip, to an ordinary building, and wiped off graffiti, there are stories and projects of the every day life and its minuscule gambles. Recetas Urbanas show an example of architectural misuse converting urban reserves to playgrounds. Julian von Klier’s photographs show spoors of graffiti works, which are tried to be deleted. The netartists 0100101110101101.org, also working with signs, contribute with the project “An Ordinary Building”. ‘Monsters’ is called a compendium of all of the monsters found in the contemporary practice and discourse of architecture.

I love the idea of having art on the gates that come down when the the restaurant is closed. Rather than the ugly grey, possibly tagged with grafitti, we get this amazing art.

I should probably explain this. I've been awkward; I've explained it somewhere other than this place.

The FAC is a business card template that prints on 3x5 index cards in the color of your choice. The goal was to create a business card that is actually useful and functional, as opposed to the usual dead tree spam you usually get that just collect dust. This also makes use of all those index cards you bought for your hipster PDA and never used!

SSG Travis W. Atkins was memorialized on January 9, 2013 through the dedication of the Mountain Functional Fitness Facility as the Atkins Functional Fitness Facility. On June 1, 2007 SSG Atkins distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry at the cost of his life in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. While conducting route security in the town of Abu Sarnak, Iraq, SSG Atkins apprehended and began to search a group of suspected insurgents. However, one insurgent resisted and engaged SSG Atkins in hand-to-hand combat. As SSG Atkins attempted to subdue the man, he realized the insurgent was attempting to trigger a suicide vest, which he wore under his clothing. Despite SSG Atkins' efforts, the insurgent finally succeeded in reaching his vest. SSG Atkins selflessly tackled the suicide bomber, pinning him to the ground and shielding his Soldiers from the imminent explosion. In this critical and selfless act of valor in which he was mortally wounded, SSG Atkins saved the lives of three other Soldiers and gallantly gave his life for his country. SSG Travis Atkins was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, our nation's second highest medal for heroism.

Filter soldered in, all that is needed now is a quick functional test, a tidy up of the wiring and the cover back on!

 

The instruction manual rather understated the work required to install the filter - there was a lot of internal cabling to preventing the IF board from being pivoted in order to gain access to the print side of the board.

 

However I got there in the end, and the filter is working fine!

Kayla on the beach between photo sessions at the 23rd Mn Strobist meetup at hidden beach. Somebody was messing with their equipment while I was floating around between groups and poor Kayla here was waiting around to get shot. This is an outtake as the tattoo isn't quite in focus.
