While renovating the roof of the country house i saw these and they matched my design concept for wider footpegs perfectly, especially because they were free :) In Swedish these are called rännkrokar and that would directly translate to gutter brackets.
From first glance I knew I wanted to get this. But the gap on the canopy was unacceptable! The other mods were just my preference. Plus I added a crew.
Head Modification Contest Entry #3 at PNW BJD Expo 2016
Contestants were required to do a head modification + faceup based on the theme of PNW BJD Expo 2016: BJD Comic-Con
Sadly I am probably stuck with this forever but maybe in time I'll have 100 bad tattoos instead of 1 for people to harp on :D
Pre-cutting modifications: shortened waist 1.5 cm. I cut a size 2.
Post-cutting modifications: lowered armscye underarm 1/4"; took in/reshaped centre back seam 2" and back princess seams 1" each
Changes for v. 2: take tuck in gaping lapel
The rear hem doesn't ride up as badly as I was afraid it might after I got through with the taking-in.
Other suggestions?
I did a writeup on my questions and thoughts here - pkooak.tumblr.com/post/84262521447/inquiring-minds-custom...
Basically, I wanted to see if you could (yes) get rid of the neck flap and end up with an attachment more like the higher end Kens (yes). I used two nearly identical Fashionista Cutie Kens for the experiment, a shaved Carlisle Cullen head and Texas A&M Ken for comparisons.
To make my Itiwit x500 more cut- and abrasion-resistant, I glued three panels of high-strength Zodiac PVC laminate using Weaver Industries two-part PVC cement.
Midland Street looks brighter and more spacious following the demolition of the pub which stood at the junction with Eldon Street on the right here.
I had to break 2 pipes off of the front in order to remove the smokebox front for detailing and decaling. I managed to reuse one of the pipes but the other was a total loss so I got some brass rod, rerouted it slightly and...............done, ride complete!
Modification of the Fragmentarium Distance Estimator sample program. I wanted something more interesting to look at than the default 8 sphere cube. (But I find that I am still completely mystified by how the distance estimator is rendered :-)
float DE(vec3 pos) {
float i,k;
vec3 v,w;
// Setting k to 0.85 will create a partially connected lattice (but creates a rendering break, unless you remove the if (abs(pos.x) > 2.0) conditional.
k=1.0;
// Place 8 spheres at the points of a cube surrounding the origin (0,0,0) of the coordinate space
i= abs(length(abs(pos)+vec3(-1.0))-0.25) * 1.0;
// Surround the original cube array with an infinite sphere lattice (using SIN to bound the distance estimate)
if (abs(pos.x) > 2.0) {
v=vec3(sin(pos.x),sin(pos.y),sin(pos.z));
w=vec3(sin(k*pos.x),sin(k*pos.y),sin(k*pos.z));
i=2.0*(dot(v,w));
}
return i ;
}
A grinder and that special bending tool were important tools. The bending tool I could have managed without but it was easy to use and perfect for this.
Behind the old tractor park on the sea front in Saltburn can be seen the 19th century grade II listed building that was once the Saltburn Mortuary. It was built in 1881 for the victims of drowning (formerly they were taken to the nearby Ship Inn), but ceased to be used for this purpose in the 1960's. It has since been used as a wood store, a photographers, for Tees Valley wildlife trust and even a museum, but now is up for sale as the Council have no use for it
