New skeg control box. Much neater and a bit wider. All is good now :-)

I had a fibreglass pond with steep sides given to me last year. Unfortunately steep sides are bad for wildlife as amphibians can't climb out and hedgehogs that fall in can't get out.
I made this modification. I put some bricks on the deep ledge of the pond,put a grid of fine chicken wire on top of the bricks and covered it with gravel. I then put a few rocks on the gravel so now creatures can get out of the pond.Adding the gravel has made the water a bit murky but it will clear in a day or two
The other benefit to this modification is that I can now see pond beetles/tadpoles etc swimming in the shallow area. With a deep pond all over,you can't see what's going on underneath
This is a diamante micro-dermal piercing done by Jane at Punktured in Brighton. If it heals ok (I got it 22/04) I'd like to get 5 in a row across the arm.
Temporary film-plane modification of the Koroll 24 camera that I previously used in week 132 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:
www.flickr.com/photos/tony_kemplen/collections/72157623113584240
I liberally applied sellotape in overlapping criss-cross strips at the film plane.
As the name suggests, this model manages to squeeze 24 exposures out of a roll of 120 film, by using a mask to make the image size 3cm x 4cm. The edges of the film are wasted, but by using the "12 frame" backing paper markings twice, 24 exposures are made.
I removed the mask, so the full width of the film is exposed, and the frames overlap, but if a full frame is desired, the film can simply be advanced twice.
The film was expired Fujichrome Provia ISO400 slide film, which I cross processed in Tetenal C41 chemistry.
Control knob (slider) for the skeg.
A solid rod of clear polycarbonate was used to shape the knob.
The bolt is used to pinch the skeg cable.
Medusa boss design. I worked this up from an old Greek amphora showing Perseus carrying a shield with the head of Medusa blazoned on it. I like the symbolism of Medusa-- a being so striking ugly that one look at her stopped men in their tracks. There's something to be said for that kind of power.
Executed by Greg Kidd of Sal's Tattoo and Barber Shop in Toronto.
This took the least amount of time and was actually complete in about an hour or so. It is simple stenciling.
I made some markings on the backside of the front standard, so I can find the Zero marking (gold line) and the 1cm, 2cm & 3cm marks (silver dots)
This way I can see from behind the camera, and not have to walk around to the front to see these marks. :-)
The past few weeks I did a bunch of modding on the official LEGO Razor Crest.
I absolutely love the bright yellow decals on the more recent UCS Razor Crest set. A member of the brikwars discord community gave some very helpful advice on the implementation of my own decals.
The changes to the middle section of the canopy are derived from 0rig0's Razor Crest mod. His instructions can be found here: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-64158/0rig0/razor-crest-modifica...
This is the clearest photo of the original nut that I could find. It's missing a large chunk near the 6th string, meaning that I couldn't put a low E string on it.

Arguably, the greatest thing to come out of the Star Wars sequels was the Tie Silencer. A stunning, sleek take on the Tie Interceptor that had way too little screen time. Set 75179, ‘Kylo Ren’s TIE Fighter’, was my entry point into this hobby and I’ve kept hold of it all this time. It’s a great set, but I wanted to turn this playset into a display set. So here it is. A complete overhaul and extensive modification of set 75179.
It keeps much of the interior structure from the set but has an entirely new exterior design with numerous details added and lines re-made based on screenshots and highly detailed 3d models (you’re looking at a lot more than just the original set with some tiles stuck on top) It also features completely re-designed wings using new construction methods.
I re-designed the underside and part of the internal structure (with no loss of structural integrity) to incorporate a cavity for the stand to slot into. A modified version of the UCS Batwing stand worked perfectly for this ship. The instructions have also been completely re-designed from scratch.
The ship now weighs in at 1324 pieces, including the stand (the original set is made up of just 630 pieces) 52% of the parts from the original set are used in my modification so if you own the set you would need an extra 1012 pieces to create this mod, plus it’s stand. (Currently those parts can be purchased from Bricklink for about £60).

もしかするとこれは夢なのではないかと自分に問いかけながら僕はシャッターを切り続けました・・・・。
Built between 1806 and 1836. Even though there were many modifications from the original plans, reflecting political changes and power struggles, the Arch still retains the essence of the original concept which was a powerful, unified ensemble.
The triumphal arch is in honor of those who fought for France, in particular, those who fought during the Napoleonic Wars. Engraved on the inside and at the top of the arch are all of the names of the generals and wars fought. There are inscriptions in the ground underneath the vault of the arch which include the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I where the Memorial Flame burns and have made the Arc de Triomphe Paris a revered patriotic site.
At Lego shows in 2024, my Castle class would occasionally derail when there was a kink in the track, particularly when entering corners.
I put this down to the chassis setup I'd chosen, based on Carl Greatrix's previous Castle model, whereby the rear bogie wheels were fixed to the main chassis. In some cases, it seemed these wheels were getting raised off the track by the driving wheels behind.
I've now re-worked the chassis to have a more conventional pivoted bogie. There is still only 1 set of flanged drivers, to allow the bogie to not crash sideways into the cylinders. However now the bogie is on a single pivot, positioned above the rear bogie wheels.
This should help to 'steer' the loco into corners, and the little shoulder on the pin piece also helps to keep the weight on the bogie wheels.
The old chassis setup, with the rear bogie wheels fixed to the frames, and the front 'bogie' wheels acting like a pony truck, including a rubber belt to spring it onto the track.
