The Model Village is a one-ninth scale replica of the heart of the beautiful Cotswold village of Bourton-on-the-Water, containing all the buildings from the Old Water Mill (now the Car Museum) down to the Old New Inn and the ford.
The village was created by a previous landlord of the Old New Inn, taking local craftsmen five years to build, and it was officially opened on the Coronation Day of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (the late Queen Mother) in 1937.

Eveready Battery Company, Inc. is an American manufacturer of electric battery brands Eveready and Energizer .
The British Ever Ready Electrical Company was founded in 1906.
1907 Ever Ready developed AA dry cell, and four years later AAA dry cell.
For advertising they used a cat with nine lives. This is a matching synonym for long life batteries.
I changed the color of a white Corgi Diecast Leyland model and labelled it for the company EverReady.

Seven of these cranes were built by Ardelt in Eberswalde between 1929 and 1930 and delivered to the Deutsche Reichsbahn. They were often used in tandem to hoist bridge sections in to place. I’ve depicted the ‘700-070 Hamburg’. Its unique feature is the -under full load- sliding superstructure. The crane could move 8.9 meters sliding over it’s under carriage. This meant almost a doubling of the reach of a standard 25-ton crane and saved lots of time moving and supporting the crane. The maximum load of 25 tons is possible with a reach between 5 and 6.6 meters. At 9.9 meters, and fully extended a 6,1 tons load was still possible. To achieve this the crane is equipped with sliding counterweights. Two underneath the superstructure and one on each side.
The LEGO model is powered by a Circuit Cubes receiver and three motors. One for turning-, one for raising and lowering of the boom and one for operating the hoist cable winch. Initially I was planning on adding a fourth motor for sliding operations but lack of space (the super structure is only 5 studs wide) meant I had to compromise. The crane has a dedicated support car for transport purposes. This car is equipped with a support for the boom and multiple boxes for storage of hoisting equipment and other stuff.

A 4mm/ft model I built for a customer some years ago. It's photographed against a backscene that I painted. The "Fina" pumps were hand carved from styrene. My customer wanted a model of his father's garage, which was always surrounded by junk... perfect job for me!
Work got in the way of my LEGO building so I haven’t come round to doing much lately. But in the end 1 to 2 of hours a week do add up to this BR57 (or Prussian G10) being at 90% done.
I have to complete the details on the loc itself and the tender needs a bit more work overall. Also desperately waiting for the new HA Bricks injection molded wheels.
Last Sunday the loc made its first test drive and I’m happy to report its r104 approved!
Showdown!

Full story and stand-alone shots of the mech.
Some time has passed again. Though I am still alive and doing the brick thing, just more offline lately. But with new circumstances there will be more to spectate in the near future...

Ik ben klaar :))
De richtingaanwijzers waren in het echt simpele oranje peertjes. Mocht je je nu afvragen hoe ik die nagemaakt heb.......m'n vrouw mist 4 kopspelden ;)

Got around to building and detailing my Grimoire.
I've been watching Reconguista In G lately and kinda fell in love with the Grimoire, even if it's nothing more than an Amerian grunt mobile suit. Saw the kit at my local hobby shop and wasn't sure whether to get this or the G-Arcane, but the Grimoire won.
Overall, this is a great design. It's a 1/144th HG that's a really solid build. Stays true to the anime and is pretty pleasing. I highly recommend it if you were thinking about picking it up.
Review of the STANDart Zaku 1 that I promised at the start of the year should hopefully be posted soon.
Wishing you all Happy Holidays! That you may enjoy your family and friend. And maybe we can try to share this Season’s love and goodness through out the entire year, just to make this a better world…

This was a respray from a two tone grey loco, renumbered and weathered by me.

Wide overview shot. A Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS) Mercedes Benz Sprinter, Accident & Emergency (A&E) vehicle pulls off the road and into the Emergency Department (ED) grounds, passing in front of an A&E Urgent Tier vehicle (left) and Patient Transport Service (PTS) (right). A parent, child in hand, walks towards the ED entrance as patients, some on crutches, wait outside to be picked up. To the right of the main entrance, two A&E ambulances sit parked outside. The crew of one vehicle (left), parked in a “Resus Only” bay, stand talking while the Trauma Team car waits to pull out on to the road.
On the road outside the Hospital, Hutchison’s Y182 BGB heads towards the out of shot turning circle whilst enroute to Overtown on service 2. Having turned, but not calling at the stop, is First Kelvin ST353, B253 BYS - trundling past on the 63 to Glasgow Buchanan Bus Station. The bus it overtakes, seen setting down at the hospital bus stop is a First Kelvin sister to 353, a Leyland Leopard Alexander Y Type stopping on service 256 for Shotts.
Mossend District General Hospital is a diorama made using the Kingsway “Holby A&E” kit. A number of Scottish Ambulance Service vehicles are seen within the grounds of the Emergency Department. These include Accident & Emergency Resources staffed by Paramedics and Ambulance Technicians, Urgent Tier vehicles staffed by a Technician and an Ambulance Care Assistant (ACA) and a Patient Transport Service vehicle staffed by two ACA’s.
Passing in front of the Hospital are models of vehicles used in service by their respective operators during the late 90’s and onwards. The buses modelled here include :
First Kelvin - Leyland Tiger Alexander TS body - B253BYS (fleetnumber ST353) - 63 Glasgow Buchanan Bus Station. Sunrise Kit 63 - Resin body. Assembled, painted & finished by me.
Hutchison Coaches (Overtown) - Volvo Wright Renown - Y182 BGB - 2 Overtown. Code 3 repaint of EFE Renown, repainted & finished by me.
First Kelvin - Leyland Leopard Alexander Y Type body - 256 Shotts. Code 3 repaint of EFE Y Type, repainted & finished by me.
Build update on the Narcissus Shuttle - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Worked on the remaining frame work for the wall panels. Finished both yesterday and began adding detailing....which is going to take some time. Using a mix of styrene, Epoxy and various misc items (greeblies) to build out the details. I've decided to begin building back into the shuttles main entrance first before moving into the pilot stations...for the exception of the wall panel with all the piping rolling around. I really want to do that wall! HA! So the storage compartments will be separate sections and the airlock will be a separate section..the only way I can build this will be to keep it modular. #alien #narcissus #shuttle #diorama #stowaway #bigchap #luckystar #scratchbuilding #modelbuilding
My Lego model of Detroit's Penobscot Building. I recently test assembled it outside of my house (I do not have ceilings high enough to put it up indoors). This Lego skyscraper measures 9.5 feet to the roof and 11 feet to the tip of the mast. I am not 100% satisfied with the proportions so I may remove one of the top floors and perhaps add three floors in the middle section. It was displayed to the public for the first time at Cobo Conference Center from July 27-29 as part of the Lego train display at the 2007 NMRA National Train Show.
Since this photo was taken, I have rebuilt the building with a more accurate 47 stories instead of the old 41 story version. Its about the same overall height since I reduced the height of the 6th and higher floors by 1 brick.
By the way, my height is 5'10".
WIP of the 1/100 F90II kit from 1991. Picked it up on Ebay brand new and got to start building it this week thanks to snow and ice cancelling school.
In the process of adding the long range unit to it right now, so far so good I guess.
Once the weather gets warm enough it'll be getting a matte coating to seal off the panel lines.
Also, Lego soon. I promise.
