Oh my, no osprey? A flower? Yea, I guess I got to show my softer side once in a while. These were inspired from so many great macro shots that are being posted lately. You know who you are.
This was taken with a Canon 70-200 2.8L. I got to get a macro lens.
Mini Elsa doll on a picconeemo ll bust doll. Her hands are from a Figma doll. Tip: to remove picconeemo doll hands, soak the joint in hot water for 15 seconds. This will prevent the joint from breaking in the wrist socket.

Ahora resulta que también le entra a la nanotecnología al minimalismo y otras cosas más.
A nice flat bed / pickup Mini from the 1970s seen at the 2015 Messingham Show in North Lincolnshire. The Minis on show in the classic car display were from the local Trent Valley Mini Owners Club.
My images are processed to look good on my laptop, and they do look good on there - and on my phone and tablet - I am aware though that some other screens will show my images as either too dark or indeed too light. This is due to individual screen settings and not my inability to produce a clear image ....
Mighty Bright.
Good things come in small packages and this little ray of sunshine is no exception. New in the YP Garage is a lightly tuned R56 Mini Cooper S, resplendent in Mellow Yellow. Featuring a proper front splitter, boost gauges and sport seats and a dual exhaust out back, this properly fun Cooper has been putting smiles on ALL the faces :).
I hope you enjoy!
I have assembled the mini Avengers! They came out pretty cool. I know Hulk should be bigger than the rest of them, but I like the uniform scale.
How I wish I also drove this mini but as of now, I can only afford to drive a Toyota Vios! LOL!
Have a nice Monday everyone!

The roof of the car still has an amusing appearance! It reminds me of someone with a haircut in which the hair is trimmed very short up to a line above the person’s ears.
Finished up my Starflower quilt top today! I used this block from Modify Tradition. I am pretty happy with how it has turned out so far. I used four of my favorite black and white Alexander Henry prints.
I think I'll probably use left over scraps for the backing since it will be on the wall and probably a black and white polka for the binding :)
These mini chocolate swirl cakes, sweet buns and donuts are made of clay. They were popular in Asia approximately 3-4 years ago (probably still are!). They're delicately hand made and each of them was made with passion.
This is a mini LEGO terrace house built for some dear friends of ours as a housewarming present. Back garden comes complete with shed, dog, decking and slide!
This is the how the Soma Mini Velo fender project ends. I ended up finding New Old Stock fenders from the late 50s by a company called McCaulay Metal Products. At first I was kinda iffy on the fold/fin on the front fender. Now I love it. I was originally looking for just a regular fender like a Wald or if SKS made a 20" model in silver. These fenders suit Bubo nicely.

"Tuvo versiones que abrian capó delantero y puertas, después sólo abría las puertas.
(...) Al final de su fabricación, Guisval lo vendió sin apertura de puertas, sin interior y los cristales oscurecidos en verde.
Tuvo, que yo conozca, 9 distintos, el mas difícil y cotizado, el 1ª serie que portaba eskis en el techo."

"The Mini is the small car icon of the 1960s. It was produced by BMC (British Motor Corporation) starting with 1959 and was the first car to get the front-wheel-drive.
This space saving solution influenced all the manufacturers, as nowadays FWD is the most popular drive-train layout.
The new MINI was launched in 2001 and got to replace the legend with updates for the 21st Century.
The revolutionary design of the Mini was created by Sir Alec Issigonis (1906–1988), considered a visionary in industrial transportation.
It was intended as an affordable vehicle in response to the oil crisis.
Along its production period it was built at the Cowley plants in the United Kingdom, and afterwards in Australia, Belgium, Chile, Italy, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Uruguay and Venezuela.
(...)
The Mini was designed as a result of the 1956 Suez Crisis, which reduced oil supplies, and forced the UK government saw to introduce petrol rationing.
(...)
Issigonis, that was reputed as being very skilled in designing small vehicles was assigned to this task. Together with a small team of designers Issigonis got to produce the original prototype by October 1957.
The new vehicle was using a conventional BMC four-cylinder water-cooled engine, but had the innovation of mounting it transversely with the the engine oil lubricated, four-speed transmission placed in the sump, and with FWD."

"The First Mini in production version shown to the press in April 1959, and by August several thousand vehicles had been produced ready for sales.
The name “Mini” was not used form the beginning of production. In early advertising material was used the name “SE7EN”. An already famous Morris model at that time was the Minor, which is Latin for “smaller”. So, for the even smaller car the decided to use the abbreviation for the Latin word “minimus”, which means “the smallest”.

BREVE HISTORIA DE AUTHI Y LOS MINI FABRICADOS EN ESPAÑA.
"La sociedad AUTHI S.A.( Automóviles de Turismo Hispano Ingleses S.A.) nace oficialmente el 12 de noviembre de 1966 con un capital de 200 millones de pesetas y estaba formada principalmente por la Compañía Nueva Montaña Quijano, firma santanderina de larga tradición en España Esta Compañía fabricaba desde 1956, muchos elementos y componentes para FASA-RENAULT
Cuando años después FASA-RENAULT, deja de comprar dichos componentes, se pensó pronto en la BMC como la firma con la que fabricar algunos de sus modelos como el MINI y el MORRIS 1.100.
Fueron el Marqués de Huidobro por la Compañía AUTHI y George Harriman por la BMC quienes finalmente firmaron el acuerdo entre ambas Compañías.
Se decidió la construcción de una fábrica en la localidad navarra de LANDABEN cerca de PAMPLONA, en donde inicialmente se construirían los MORRIS, los MG, y poco tiempo después los MINI .
En cuanto a la elección de NAVARRA, fue por sus peculiaridades fiscales en aquella época, además estaba bien comunicada con el País Vasco, Aragón y Cataluña."

" En 1969, se confirma la fabricación de los MINI , se anuncian para el tercer/cuarto trimestre del año en curso los modelos 1.275 y 1000 c.c. con un precio de 125.000 y 92.500 franco fábrica.
El 14 de abril de 1969, se presentan en el Feria de Barcelona, Sector del Automóvil, los MINI 1000-E y S( Standard ).
(...)
Curiosamente en España, el MINI 850 fue el último modelo en salir, concretamente fue en febrero de 1970 y con un precio de 80.000 pesetas.
(...)
En diciembre de 1973, AUTHI, presenta el modelo MINI COOPER 1.300.
(...)
El 9 de octubre de 1974, acontece un suceso lamentable, es el grave incendio de la factoría, al parecer suceso totalmente fortuito y que ocasiona pérdidas por valor de 500 millones de pesetas, y deja en el paro a 1.700 empleados.
(...)
Se intenta salvar a AUTHI, creando un Consorcio entre SEAT, CITROEN Y RENAULT, pero no fue posible llegar a un acuerdo.
(...)
Finalmente el Gobierno insta al INI para que vía SEAT se haga cargo de la fábrica de LANDABEN. En mayo de 1975, dejan de fabricar restando como única actividad la comercialización de las unidades del stock. Los coches de AUTHI, están presentes en las listas de precios hasta 1976.
En julio de 1975 se llegó a un acuerdo entre BLMC y SEAT y el precio pagado fue al parecer de 1.250 millones de pesetas. LANDABEN pasa a ser controlada por SEAT, cambiando el equipo gestor e iniciando la fabricación del SEAT –124 (Febrero de 1976)."
