Hi Everyone, long time no see. My latest large scale build for Bright Bricks. 1:30 scale Mock Tudor House. It took about 4 weeks to build, several bricklink orders and it almost took my sanity, so I hope you like it ;)
There are some WIP photos on my MOCpage. The interior is a mass of support columns and beams to stop it twisting. The lower part of the external walls are made from 1x2 plates, which look great but when stacked this high cause lots of problems. Technically 3 plates stacked on top of each other are actually slightly taller than a brick. It is only a fraction but it adds up. To combat this I built the inner skin from bricks and the outer skin with the plates, every third brick (9 plates) I tied the walls together. This technique is actually very similar to real life cavity wall construction. I knew that surveying degree would come in useful one day ;).
The hallway is visible from the main window at the front of the house so I needed to include some interior details. For the rest of the house I blocked the windows out so you can not see inside.
I enjoyed building this house but it did get tedious by the end. The split levels and the sheer amount of windows and doors was a nightmare. I had to figure out a design for all the windows/doors before starting. I must admit I am very pleased with the outcome especially the plate work on the ground floor and the window lintels – so much snot work it almost drove me mad. Most importantly the client was over the moon with it.
Thanks for looking :D
Every year it seems different flowers bloom in my area. I noticed this year, the Mock Orange are blooming everywhere. This one is in my yard and it's the first year since moving here that it's bloomed. I was thinking of planting one in the yard, but now I don't have to.
You know it's summer when....okay, I'll admit- Much as I am a spring and autumn person, and winter can also be quite pretty- Mock Orange Blossoms are lovely to see (and smell) in summer!
These people appeared walking randomly in one direction toward downtown Livermore. I thought I would present this captured scene as a mock zombie apocalypse. If this is true, then I could be one of them.
Philadelphus (mock-orange) is a genus of about 60 species of shrubs from 1 to 6 m tall, native to North America, Central America, Asia and (locally) in southeast Europe,
This northern mocking bird was seen perched on a snag at Pine Glades Natural Area near Jupiter, Florida. Prints, and many other items, are available with this image on my website at www.tom-claud.pixels.com. Thanks for visiting.

Mock Two was created by artist Benjamin Entner. Mock Two is the second in an ongoing series of large scale sculptures. These sculptures are designed to look like model airplanes - wood framed, rubber band powered, plastic, red propeller-only at adult scale. Mock Two is modeled after a kit airplane of a WWII Grumman F6F Hellcat.

I sure enjoyed the lovely Mock Orange blossoms while they lasted. They are starting to lose their petals now.
Just before sunrise, a sun pillar tried to form but only a small portion remained as a mock (false) sun above the horizon. This sunrise looks quite similar to the one that occurred the following day: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/49503263196/in/photost... (well kind of).
Taken 2 minutes before sunrise.
