Based on the amazing Micro-Model designed by master builder Mariann Asanuma for Brickjournal
Ignoring the elegant lines of Mariann's model, I made a few tweaks to the design, extending the roof and adding a chimney. I also gave a bigger hat to the snowman, 'cause I'm a rebel like that.
The anti-cant level finally arrived for the polar scope, so I carried the mount out for a quick photo session This is about as modified as you can get at this point.
different view of the add a room , took about 30 minutes by my self puttering away at putting it up , a lot less if i had help
I made slight modifications to the chest piece because I thought the wasp waist was a little ridiculous. What? Is she wearing some kind of bone-crushing corset in there or something?
The two holes should have transparent panels in them. Maybe I'll add some cellophane or something at some point.

This is the Penn-Wyatt House (sometimes called the Hoffman House) on Millionaire’s Row in Danville, Virginia, originally built by James Gabriel Penn in 1876; it underwent various modifications, 1887-1903. Penn was a tobacco commission merchant. He died in 1907, but his widow ultimately couldn’t afford to maintain the house. in 1934 it was sold at public auction to Landon R. Wyatt and then sold again in 1977 to Dr. Allan A Hoffman. In 2012 it was owned by “the bank” and was for sale—the purchase price I was told was $250,000. Much work on the exterior and interior had been done, presumably more than the 2012 selling price. I don’t know its current status. It’s an eclectic Victorian structure with the monumentality of the Second Empire and the detailing of the Italianate style. It is brick, covered with scored stucco; it has a mansard roof tower and multi-gable roofs. There are at least 25 rooms with many stained glass windows, displaying a wide range of styles used for domestic architecture (as opposed to ecclesiastical and commercial). The following images show some of the domestic stained-glass in this home—thee domestic use of stained-glass is always dealt with separately from the structure in these photos.

Three main divisions articulate the front façade, all separated by a system of quoining. Aesthetically it offers up a raised contrasts with the smooth stucco surfaces. To the left is a 2-story bay window with a parapeted roof with wrought-iron cresting and a tripartite rounded-arch window in the heavily bracketed attic gable. 1/1 hung sash windows are used throughout this bay projection. Also characteristic of windows throughout the home (except for the back portion) are the rounded-arch hood molds. The entrance tower is centrally positioned and separated from the sections to both right and left by prominent use of quoins. The entry is a double door with leaded glass in a geometric abstract design, a leaded glass transom and long single pane sidelights, each with an understated recessed panel at the base. The second level of the tower displays a pair of leaded stained-glass windows with a single round arch hood mold. The third story has a set of 1/1 hung sash windows with the ever-present hood molds. Above that is a single small circular window with hood mold. The tower roof is bell-cast mansard and is capped with cresting. The third division of the front façade is accentuated by the quoining. The door from the porch to the interior in this section is a large Colonial Revival entry with a large fanlight with sunburst design and a rounded-arch hood mold over all. The sidelights are less elaborate than the primary entrance but are unusually wide leaded glass. The second-story in this façade-division has a pair of 1/1 hung sash windows with a single round-arch hood mold. The 3rd level, with the major exception of no bay roof is similar to the gable are on the left. The roof of the house is slate and consists of shingles of different colors and shapes. The wraparound porch is supported by wooden Ionic columns on a stone plinth railing, the stone balusters being carved. The pedimented entrance has low-relief carving in the tympanum. The pediment itself is bracketed but not with the dominant design used throughout much of the building; a row of dentils below the pedimented roof brackets is a nice ornamental detail. The porch itself has a couple of tile patterns—one just at the front entry and the other at a porch entrance to the right side. In front of this porch section is a two-tiered circular detached porch with red shingles on the conical roof and with a wrought-iron finial. The house is impressive; the angularity of gables is counterbalanced by the circular detached porch and the rounded roof line of the porch roof; the upper level is fascinating with the dark-striped brackets and the large quantity of cresting on the roof. And all parts seem to cohesively form an aesthetic whole. Now that I’ve worked up a description, there are architectural elements I unfortunately overlooked when I photographed the structure in September 2011. The Penn-Wyatt House is within the boundary of the Danville Historic District, but it was listed individually on the Nation Register of Historic Places September 7, 1979 ID number 79003317

Step 1: Choose your car, it's a lot easier if you lower one with a plain background.
Step 2: Select your car's body with the pixel select tool.
Step 3: Hide the bottom layer. Go back to the top layer and erase the wheels. Un-hide the bottom. The car should still look pretty normal.
Step 4: With the top car still selected, drag it down to your desired ride height.
Step 5: Fix any errors using the erase tool, clone stamp, and copy/paste
This should be pretty straight forward, have fun lowering the cars.

Trinity Church (Bruck an der Leitha)
Bruck parish church
The Holy Trinity Church is the Roman Catholic parish church to the Holy Trinity in Bruck an der Leitha (Lower Austria).
First phase (1696-1702)
Second phase of construction (1738-40)
Last structural modifications (1782-83)
History
Since the old church of St. Martin before the gates of the "new" city in invasions of the enemy repeatedly was destroyed, for the ever growing population also long since became too small and the existing within the city walls monastery churches and chapels for worship (no longer) could be used, was in the mid-17th Century the decision taken to build a new parish church within the city gates. The siege by the Turks and the appearance of the plague thwarted these plans again and again. After the Ottoman army was defeated in 1683 successfully in the Battle of Vienna and the plague was considered extinct, the City Council in gratitude decided to build a dignified church on the main square newly. The church should be attached to the existing medieval tower. Served as the model the early Baroque Church of Gesù in Rome.
First phase (1696-1702)
Under architect Heinrich Hoffmann the nave was built parallel to the row of houses, which is why the city tower - now converted into a church tower - stands approximately 15 degrees rotated to the north. It was raised by the superstructure of the belfry and received a baroque spire.
Second phase of construction (1738-40)
The austere frontispiece was replaced by architect Johann Georg Windpässinger by the two-storey magnificent facade. The sculptural decoration was designed by Martin Vögerl (Marian column Hainburg an der Donau) and displays above the main portal (City Arms with the year 1740) the figure of St. John of Nepomuk with the representation of the Vltava River bridge at the base. Other figures in the basement are the portraits of the plague saints Sebastian with tree, Rochus with Pestbeule (bubo) at the knee and the Saint Florian with the bucket of water and the Holy Leopold. Upstairs - flanked by volutes crowned by vases from their ornamental vessels the flame of the sacrifice is licking - the representation of the Holy Archangel Michael, crashing Satan with a flaming sword into the abyss. In the tympanum a magnificent edged plate with the inscription: "QUIS UT DEUS" (Who is like God?)
Last structural changes (1782-83)
The spire was raised by the lantern of the death-knell and slightly modified in its shape (tower height: 53,35 m).
Pass away ringing:
The Schiedläuten (pass away ringing), (also: Scheideläuten, Scheidungsläuten, death ringing) means that when a case of death becomes known with the Schiedglocke (pass away bell) - in Switzerland/Austria also with the Zügenglocke (cf. "to be at one's last gasp" ) - is rung. This can be done either at the arrival of the news of the death, after the next Betläuten/Angelus or at another fixed time. In Austria there is also partly still the custom that in the event of death of a man the Schiedglocke rings three times, in the event of death of a woman two times and in the event of death of a child one time (Wikipedia).
Equipment
The interior is 42 meters long and 14 meters wide, the chapel niches on both sides each measure 3 meters. The single naved longhouse is spanned by a four-bay, slightly stuccoed lunette ton. Recessed pilasters, which are divided by double pilasters bear a sharp profiled beams to which join the barrel-vaulted galleries. The straight closing forms the retracted, two-bay choir.
The Baroque high altar from 1704 is a donation of Johann Jakob Stumpf, councillor and personal physician of Emperor Leopold I. Beautiful altarpiece depicting the Holy Trinity from the vicinity of Daniel Gran. Miraculous image of Our Lady of Sorrows (18th century) from the Spittelwaldkapelle (chapel). Statues of the apostles St. Paul (left) and St. Peter (right), of St. Barbara and St. Catherine with crown, sword and palm of victory in the entablature area.
Five side altars from the 2nd Quarter of the 18th century:
Corporis Christi or Corpus Christi altar with altarpiece of Saint Francis of Assisi from the mid-19th Century by the Viennese painter Leopold Schulz (School Professor Kuppelwieser).
Cross altar with an altarpiece Christ on the cross. Statues of Saint Jerome (left) and Augustine (right). Baptismal font from 1700, at the cover (second half of 18th century) the Baptism of Christ in the Jordan River by John the Baptist is shown.
Family altar with an altarpiece of the Holy Family: Mary and Joseph with the Infant Jesus, Elisabeth and Zacharias with the infant Saint John. Statues of St. Francis of Assisi (left) and Anthony of Padua (right), 1725 altar of Our Lady or Marie altar with oval image Mariahilf modeled after 16th Century. Baroque glass sarcophagus with relics of St. Theodorus martyr.
Plague altar with image of Saint Sebastian dying as a martyr (2nd half of 17th century), in front of it, lying Santa Rosalia with wreath of roses on her forehead. Statues of St. Rocco and St. Florian to 1730.
Baroque hanging pulpit, basket with relief of the Good Shepherd. Sounding board studded by group of evangelists, angels and tablets of commandments.
The in 1710 by Viennese organ architect Jakob Sippus built organ was enlarged in 1749 and has a statuette of King David at the closing. Currently, 300 wood and 996 tin pipes, the largest of five meters, the smallest one centimeter long.
The Great Bell (Vienna, 1752) shows a relief of the Madonna with Child, Peter, Paul and John of Nepomuk. With a diameter of 158 cm and a height of 150 cm, it sounds pitch h, with a weight of 2400 kg it is one of the largest bells in the province of Lower Austria .

I add two washers to the governor. This adds some preload on the spring which retards the opening of the exhaust valves. This way i eliminate a small bog/hesitation in the powerband when using the bigger 38mm carburetor.

Play Piercing day!
This was interesting, I feel amazingly angry and disappointed with myself though as I only managed to handle 24 out of the 50 pins that were supposed to be in my back. Ah well at least I can say I have done it!!
Haha I love my piercer, Dan, He's brilliant. If you have time and you live in the UK, check these guys out, they really work hard and deserve more recognition.

Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior
cylinder: 4
cubic capacity: 1290 cc
power: 88 PS
The Alfa Romeo 105/115 series Coupés were a range of cars manufactured from 1963 until 1977.
They were the successors to the celebrated Giulietta Sprint coupé and used a shortened floorpan from the Giulia Berlina car.
These appealing cars were made in a wide variety of models over a period of 13 years, so they provide a lot of material for study by Alfa Romeo enthusiasts.
The basic body shape shared by all models was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone. It was one of his first major projects for Bertone, and borrowed heavily from his earlier design for the Alfa Romeo 2000 Sprint/2600 Sprint. The balance of glass and metal, the influence of the shape of the front and rear glass on the shape of the cabin, and the flat grille with incorporated headlamps were groundbreaking styling features for the era.
All models feature the four cylinder, all-light-alloy Alfa Romeo Twin Cam engine in various cubic capacities from 1290 cc to 1962 cc. All versions of this engine fitted to the 105 series coupes featured twin carburettors. Competition models featured cylinder heads with twin spark plugs. Common to all models was also a 5-speed manual transmission and disc brakes on all four wheels. The rear suspension uses a beam axle with coil springs. Air conditioning and a limited slip rear differential were optional on the later models. The 105 series coupés featured the GT (Gran Turismo) model description, which was common to all models in one form or another.
The various different models in this range can be considered in two broad categories:
On one hand were the various Gran Turismos and Gran Turismo Veloces. These were meant to be the most sporting cars in the Alfa Romeo range and sold very well to enthusiastic motorists around the world. The first model available was the Giulia Sprint GT (1963) which evolved into the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce (1965), the 1750 GTV (1968) and the 2000 GTV (1972–1976), with engines increasing in cubic capacity from 1570 cc (Giulia Sprint GT/GTV) through 1779 cc (1750 GTV) to 1962 cc (2000 GTV).
On the other hand was the GT Junior range, which featured engines with smaller cubic capacities. GT Juniors sold in great numbers to people who wanted a sporting, stylish car that handled well, but either did not require the maximum in engine power, or could not afford the taxation on larger engine capacities in some markets - most notably, Alfa Romeo's home Italian market.
Junior models began with the first GT 1300 Junior in 1966. The GT 1300 Junior continued until 1976 with the 1290 cc engine and various modifications incorporating features from the evolution of the GT's and GTV's. From 1972 a GT 1600 Junior model was also available, with the 1570 cc engine.
Both categories were used to derive GTA ("Allegerita") models, which were specifically intended for competition homologation in their respective engine size classes. The GTA's featured extensive modifications for racing, so they were priced much higher than the standard models and sold in much smaller numbers. Practically all GTA's made were used in competition, where they had a long and successful history in various classes and category. These models included the Giulia Sprint GTA and GTA 1300 Junior.
The 2000 GTV (Tipo: 105.21) was introduced in 1971 together with the 2000 Berlina sedan and 2000 Spider “Fastback” (Series 2). The 2000 range was the replacement for the 1750 range. Once again the engine was rationalized throughout the range. The engine displacement was increased to 1962 cc with a change of the bore and stroke to 84 mm × 88.5 mm. Oil and radiator capacities remained unchanged. The engine produced 132 PS (97 kW; 130 hp) at 5500 rpm.The interior trim was also changed, with the most notable differences being the introduction of a separate instrument cluster, instead of the gauges installed in the dash panel in earlier cars.
Externally the 2000 GTV is most easily distinguished by the following features:
Grille with horizontal chrome bars, featuring protruding blocks forming the familiar Alfa heart in outline; Smaller hubcaps with exposed wheel nuts; Optional aluminum alloy wheels of the same size as the standard 5. 1/2J × 14 steel items, styled to the "turbina" design first seen on the alloy wheels of the Alfa Romeo Montreal. "Turbina" refers to the wheel's resemblance to a jet engine inlet; The larger rear light clusters first fitted to United States market 1750 GTV's were standard for all markets on the 2000 GTV.
The 2000 GTV is most easily distinguished by its different grille. From 1974 on, this became standard on the GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior as well when the 105 Series coupe models were rationalized and these external features became common to post-1974 GT 1300 Junior and GT 1600 Junior models, with only few distinguishing features marking the difference between models.37,459 2000 GTVs were made before production ended.

I love the Chronodex design but I'm a night owl so Patrick's original design doesn't suit my needs. I came across Jo Larsen Burnett's modification of Patrick's Chronodex and saw how versatile it is. No time shown, and all I needed was to add my own mod - adding another ring within to make space for my night activities. Works great! If anyone wants it, let me know and I'll upload a PDF version.

My beautiful hybrid. Combined here are two of my favorite things in the world--a Diana clone is mounted on the body of one of our Graflex Crown Graphic 4x5 cameras. We had pretty pronounced light leakage problems (the bulk of them coming from the Windsor body itself, despite our wacky mounting job), so we moved on to a different configuration. We've removed the Windsor, and created a home made lens board to which we've affixed the lens and shutter of a Kodak Vigilant Junior Six-16. www.flickr.com/photos/remediatethis/5869282446/
As requested, here are the main modifications I made for my 130pds in order to get it up to scratch for imaging with a full frame CCD camera.
1 (Left): A custom built M54-M48 focuser adaptor (screws straight on to drawtube). It also has tilt compensation and integrated coma corrector (Baader MPCC MkIII).
2 (Centre): How it all attaches to the focuser
3 (Right): The setup at work with 9x50 finderguider.
the large hole along the side is the result of my first aborted attempt to put the logic board of a powerbook inside the plus case. originally, the ports from the laptop would have been accessed through the gap. you can see the power supply for the G4 and LCD, as well as the video cable snaking out (then back in) this gap.
Here is the actual "blueprint" that I used to plan of what I was going to do after I removed the mounting ring (it was a bayonet mount) and the aperture linkage stuff. The aperture stuff no longer worked as it had before once I removed the linkage stuff, so I had to get creative with what to do. Where it says "should be connected" in red, towards the bottom, I eventually created a little loop with a piece of paper clip and glued it to the outer metal piece and looped it over the inner one (which had to move up and down to focus properly). To boil it down: the plastic adjustment ring is attached to the metal ring which is attached to the aperture controls. The aperture ring doesn't click when I use it now, but it still does it's job. I needed some extra space between the lens and the camera body (it was actually too close) so I cut up some metal washers and glued those to the green highlighted areas, which were eventually glued to the actual mount. I'm sure that this is all relatively confusing, so if you have any questions or comments, I'd love to hear what you have to say! A full "how to" on this is in the description of this set.
This was a long lasting project.
The clothes are made by Raouken.
The head is from Minimee, and the body is from ResinSoul Doll, orderered in partly white and partly blue skin. (One leg and one arm are white).
I modified the arm and hand by sanding it severely and working with apoxie.
The head was originally white skin but is airbrushed. Face-up is done by me as well. :)
Note: This will be my last custom project. I won't take any new projects from now on. It's been too hard to combine these with my work. This project took me over a year, so the client has been immensely patient with me and I am very thankful for that :)
