Well he is kinda finished. I see a lot of things I could've done better. But I will alter him when I have time again.
I will sand his eyes a tad better for example. They are a tad bit grainy now. So it needs to be smoother.
But in the end I am happy with the result. He is the little snarling guy I wanted him to be, haha.
Fun project ^^
Of all the railways that ever existed in Britain, the Cromford &
High Peak Railway (C&HPR) is by far the most interesting. While the line was in full use by 1831, the line saw plenty of changes during it's lifetime.
I have already covered Hurdlow incline being bypassed and closed in 1869 on my page and have recently turned my attention to Dowlow.
At the bottom of the image we see the current line going up to Dowlow quarry. The embankment higher up was the original alignment of the line.
The C&HPR was predominantly constructed by Canal engineers and featured long flat straights and sharp turns with steep inclines in lieu of Locks with winching engines. By the 1890's, the Ashbourne line was under construction by the LNWR, one of the later lines to be added to Britain's vast network of railways.
The late construction of this line meant more advanced construction techniques from experienced railway engineers were used; long sweeping turns and long shallow gradients (relatively!) that steam locos of the era could easily climb.
The line was envisaged to carry passengers so speed was an important factor on the line. By 1887, the LNWR had also taken over the operation of the C&HPR. The old alignment of C&HPR, which was serving the quarries near Dowlow, were inadequate for running passenger trains on and the LNWR had constructed a new line climbing out of Buxton from their terminus station, which would bypass the old alignment. This is what is seen in this image.
My assumptions is that the old alignment would have closed completely as the Ashbourne line opened in 1899.
I will next cover a tri-junction off to right of this image on my side of the line where this picture was taken. It has incredibly sharp turns and amazingly stone sleepers still in the place they were when presumably put down nearly 200 years ago!

Modifications made to a Retina II as received.
Flash contact has been added while cutting the distances ring sometime in the 60s or 70s. The modification included changes to the shutter cocking lever.
Camera works fine and flash fires well up to 1/250
This Sony RX100-II camera was in a carton of items given to me by someone reducing their photo equipment inventory. A problem with the protective slats that open and close over the lens corrected itself after several sessions of shooting. The camera works great but was a bit disappointing when used for macro work, having a somewhat limited range of magnification. Plus... without a viewfinder it's difficult to use in bright sunlight. Here it's shown after having some work done to enhance its usefulness for really close macro work.
To get more magnification I wanted to use supplemental lenses mounted on, or in front of the primary lens. The instructions that came with a Sony VFA49R1 lens filter adapter kit mentions that nothing weighing more than 30 grams can be mounted on the front of the lens. Hanging a heavier load can result in damage to the lens drive mechanism and its alignment. This situation was avoided by modifying an objective retaining ring from a junk Hanimar 135mm f/2.8 lens to allow mounting onto the Sony's function ring. This ring (58mm) holds the Hanimar's objective, and because of it's unusual construction... 5/8" deep and fully threaded, I was able to bore it out (while retaining half of its threaded portion), to allow press fitting onto the slighter larger "function" ring on the front of the Sony's body. My often-used method of applying super glue or epoxy wasn't an option because these materials would have crept into places where they shouldn't go, disabling the ring's function selection feature. The ring still had to function... not be locked in place.
Viewing the image large, the added rings are, moving out
from the Sony's lens ID ring (small red "T"):
* Hanimar 135mm f/2.8 objective ring,
* 62mm-62mm reversing ring ( knurled edges, orange dots),
* 62mm-58mm step-down ring,
* 58mm empty filter rings from junk filters (4),
* 58mm-52mm step-down ring... allows fitting a variety of supplemental lenses... all rigged with 52mm mounting rings. The black finish was wire-wheeled off the rings to brighten things up a bit. When the camera is turned on its lens extends to within 6mm of the front of the outermost ring, leaving enough room to stay clear of supplemental lenses that might be mounted. To operate the camera's function ring you simply turn the whole ring "stack". Press fitting the Hanimar ring onto the function ring had to be done VERY carefully to prevent cracking or disabling the playback screen. The inside of the Hanimar was bored out to be nearly, but not quite the same as the knurled Sony ring. A "scary" amount of force was required to bind the two rings together. The fit is so tight that only explosives will ever separate them.
Anyone wanting to try working this modification, using the camera's function ring as an anchor point for a supplemental lens mount "kluge", should do so carefully. It will definitely void any warranty, and you could trash a perfectly good, fully functioning camera before your work is done.

I have attended a photography workshop today. We have been shooting with two models down in a secret passage towards the Nymphenburg Castle in Munich. Outside it was 35°C, in this cellar, it was probably around 20°C, so it was a pretty good way to spend this day. Great location, great models, great crew, big time fun.

I needed a "flat" tiger in order to put it in an envelope.
I made it based on a traditional horse from a square with two cuts. She concave the corner on her stomach inward and folded her paws, head and tail in a different way.
I hope that it turned out recognizable not only because of the color of the paper :)
Zebra - 15*15 cm, tiger - 20*20 cm.
Мне нужен был "плоский" тигр, для того чтобы вложить его в конверт.
Я сделала его на основе традиционной лошадки из квадрата с двумя разрезами. Вогнула внутрь угол на животе и по-другому сложила лапы, голову и хвост.
Надеюсь, что получилось узнаваемо не только из-за расцветки бумаги :)
Зебра - 15*15 см, тигр - 20*20 см.

The Mark I was the world's first tank - a tracked, armed, and armoured vehicle - to enter combat. The name "tank" was initially a code name to maintain secrecy and disguise its true purpose. The Mark I entered service in August 1916, and was first used in action on the morning of 15 September 1916 during the Battle of Flers-Courcelette, part of the Somme Offensive.
British heavy tanks in World War I were distinguished by an unusual rhomboidal shape with a high climbing face of the track, designed to cross the wide and deep trenches prevalent on the battlefields of the Western Front. Due to the height necessary for this shape, an armed turret would have made the vehicle too tall and unstable. Instead, the main armament was arranged in sponsons at the side of the vehicle. Females were armed only with machine-guns; males were fitted with cannons in the sponsons (or barbettes as some describe them).
The Mark II incorporated minor improvements over the Mark I. With the Army declaring the Mark I still insufficiently developed for use, the Mark II would continue to be built, but would be used only for training. Due to this intended role, they were supposedly clad in unhardened steel, though some doubt was cast on this claim in early 1917. Initially, 20 were shipped to France and 25 remained at the training ground at Wool in Dorset; the remaining five were kept for use as test vehicles. As the promised Mark IV tanks had not arrived by early 1917, it was decided to ship the 25 training vehicles in Britain to France, where they joined the other 20 Mark IIs and 15 Mark Is at the Battle of Arras in April 1917. The Germans were able to pierce the armour of both the Mark I and Mark II tanks at Arras with their armour-piercing machine-gun ammunition.
The Mark IIs were built from December 1916 to January 1917 by Foster & Co and Metropolitan (25 Male and 25 Female respectively). The chief external differences from Mark I lay in the tail wheels, which were not used on Marks II and III and later heavy tanks, the narrower driver's cab and the 'trapezoid' hatch cover on the roof.
The sole surviving example of a Mark II, seen above, was originally built as a Male Tank, No. 785 and it took part in the Battle of Arras. Various features, in particular a hinged hatch on the cab roof and internal modifications show that this tank subsequently served in the supply role.
The vehicle returned to the UK after the war and was exhibited as a gate guardian at Chertsey for some years. Around this time it was modified to resemble a Mark I, complete with tail wheel assembly and fitted with sample male and female sponsons. In this guise it was subsequently delivered to the Tank Museum, bearing the name HMLS (His Majesty's Land Ship!) Dragonfly.
With the arrival at the museum of the Mark I Hatfield Tank, the above vehicle reverted to a Mark II, although it remained a hermaphrodite, and was later renamed Flying Scotsman when the lettering was detected beneath later layers of paint. Strangely there is no trace of the name Flying Scotsman in 6th Battalion records.
“This view of Io was taken on March 4 at 7:00 PM from a range of 862,200 kilometers (500,000 miles) by Voyager 1. It shows sub-spacecraft longitude of approximately 146°. Circular features are seen that may be meteorite impact craters or features of internal origin. Irregular depressions are seen that indicate surface modification has taken place. The bright irregular patches appear to be younger deposits masking the surface detail. JPL manages and controls the Voyager project for NASA's Office of Space Science.”

After three months of the modification project, we are finally starting the last phase. The subject’s immune system is no longer fighting the medication and his muscles have been dissolved from the bones. According to Professor Rosenfeld’s calculations, they will easily reattach to the carbon skeleton after the procedure. Our head engineer Mr. Gordon and his team finished the prototype ten days ago and produced the first usable version. We are now making the final calibrations. The subject has been sedated and the observation team has arrived. The insertion procedure will start at 3pm, after the gouvernment‘s permission is given.

This is something I wanted to upload for years now ! In 2011, n7mereel, Mr. Grievous and me built this, but never came around to uploading it for several reasons. Now I finally found the photos on my PC, reedited them and we decided to uploade them.
I still like it very much, even though it is a bit old.
Hope you agree !

Thanks to callsign_snapple and his free sharing of his wonderful South pacific M6, I was able to get a sense of scale for my small outcrop MILS unit display I am working on.
All my current Locomotives bar my USRA 060 do not fit in the 64 stud length I have to work with for what will be a mini-diorama, so I am using his M6 to gauge Scale until I build an appropriate 1900-1910 Locomotive to fit the display of the turn-of-the-century rural lower Eastern Mountains USA vibe I have going on.
*Please note ALL credit goes to callsign_snapple for his M6, I have made ZERO modifications to his file.*
A minor modification I did for the LEGO Speed Champions 76895 Ferrari F8 Tributo. I decided to replace the sticker headlights to the transparent pieces. Looks even better, but not accurate as like the real model. This modification is just for the looks, nothing particularly follow the real replica model. For those of you who doesn't like stickers here's an option for you.
Feel free to spread the idea and don't forget to tag me 😉
Have you ever found your LEGO switch has lost its spring?!? This might be an answer....
Apologies for the video presentation in places, it's my first 'instruction' piece.
Any comments welcome.
I'm not taking credit for this design, it's very heavily based on the 'Voodoo Psychosis' by ChrisR18t. I wanted to see if I could make it fit a minifig, and now it does. I've also made some other minor modifications.
Alright, here is my second mod. I did not make this yesterday/today if that's what you're wondering. I actually created 3 mods together and finished them all roughly the same time. This was just one of the smaller modifications. It includes a red-dot, and an extra magazine. Not comparable to my RPK, i'd say.
I've really started to like modding, and i think that I will do a lot more of it. The only thing I don't like is cutting up my brickarms. :3 I need to buy extras! I actually have two more mods that I'll show the next two days.
The weapon was not inspired by anyone specifically, but those added have inspired me to mod in general. I love their modding, and I think that at some time, I may be able to mod as good as them!
On a totally different note, Bricks Cascade is in 8 days! :D Can't wait to see a lot of you guys there!
Feedback on all of my mods are appreciated more than you could imagine. I actually use the feedback on my future mods. Thanks again fellas!

It wasn't long ago since Boeing restarted deliveries of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner after what has been a tumultuous 2020 and 2021 for the company after production and subsequent deliveries were halted for well-over a year; whilst those manufactured and in storage across the United States undergo necessary modifications with Charleston, Everett and Victorville are just a number of locations that are providing the necessary work to get the Boeing 787 re-certified for delivery.
American Airlines was the first airline to receive the Boeing 787 since deliveries restarted back in August 2022; at present, the carrier is in the process of taking delivery of the second batch of Boeing 787-8s. The order for 47 additional Boeing 787s back in 2018, at the time included 22 Boeing 787-8s and 25 Boeing 787-9s were part of a second-batch destined for American Airlines would enable the replacement of the Airbus A330 fleet (now all gone) and ageing Boeing 767-300ER fleet.
Deliveries commenced for this batch started in 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, starting with the Boeing 787-8s which would feature the same interiors as the Boeing 787-9s, owing the original batch of 20 Boeing 787-8s delivered between 2015 to 2017 featured the much-maligned customisable Safran Cirrus Business Class seats, opting instead for the Collins Super Diamond Business Class seats.
For American Airlines, the carrier received only 4 of the Boeing 787-8s until deliveries were paused after quality control issues and production deficiencies. During COVID-19, orders were swapped around, with 5 Boeing 787-8s converted to Boeing 787-9s with 30 now on-order, meaning American Airlines will only receive 17 Boeing 787-8s, of which 8 more examples are due to arrive.
As for where the Boeing 787-8s are usually found, they are based from Chicago-O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth, Miami and Philadelphia.
Currently, American Airlines operates 51 Boeing 787s, which includes 29 Boeing 787-8s and 22 Boeing 787-9s. American Airlines have 8 Boeing 787-8s and 30 Boeing 787-9s on-order.
November Eight Seven One Alpha Yankee is one of 29 Boeing 787-8s operated by American Airlines, delivered new to the carrier on lease from BOC on 29th April 2020 and she is powered by 2 General Electric GEnx-1B engines.

The gondola is a traditional, flat-bottomed Venetian rowing boat, well suited to the conditions of the Venetian lagoon. For centuries gondolas were the chief means of transportation and most common watercraft within Venice. In modern times the iconic boats still have a role in public transport in the city, serving as traghetti (ferries) over the Grand Canal. They are also used in special regattas (rowing races) held amongst gondoliers. The gondola is propelled like punting, except an oar is used instead of a pole.[1] Their primary role today, however, is to carry tourists on rides at fixed rates.
History of the Gondola:
The gondola is propelled by a person (the gondolier) who stands facing the bow and rows with a forward stroke, followed by a compensating backward stroke. Contrary to popular belief, the gondola is never poled like a punt as the waters of Venice are too deep. Until the early 20th century, as many photographs attest, gondolas were often fitted with a "felze", a small cabin, to protect the passengers from the weather or from onlookers. Its windows could be closed with louvered shutters—the original "venetian blinds". After the elimination of the traditional felze—possibly in response to tourists complaining that it blocked the view—there survived for some decades a kind of vestigial summer awning, known as the "tendalin" (these can be seen on gondolas as late as the mid-1950s, in the film Summertime). While in previous centuries gondolas could be many different colors, a sumptuary law of Venice required that gondolas should be painted black, and they are customarily so painted now.
It is estimated that there were eight to ten thousand gondolas during the 17th and 18th century. There are just over four hundred in active service today, virtually all of them used for hire by tourists. Those few that are in private ownership are either hired out to Venetians for weddings or used for racing.[3] Even though the Gondola by now has become a widely publicized icon of Venice, in the times of the Republic of Venice it was by far not the only means of transportation: on the map of Venice created by Jacopo de' Barbari in 1500 only a fraction of the boats are gondolas, the majority of boats are batellas, caorlinas, galleys and other boats - by now only a handful of batellas survive, and caorlinas are used for racing only.
During their heyday as a means of public transports, teams of four men—three oarsmen and a fourth person, primarily shore-based and responsible for the booking and administration of the gondola (Il Rosso Riserva)—would share ownership of a gondola. However as the gondolas became more of a tourist attraction than a mode of public transport all but one of these cooperatives and their offices have closed. The category is now protected by the Institution for the Protection and Conservation of Gondolas and Gondoliers,[4] headquartered in the historical center of Venice.
The historical gondola was quite different from its modern evolution- the paintings of Canaletto and others show a much lower prow, a higher "ferro", and usually two rowers. The banana-shaped modern gondola was developed only in the 19th century by the boat-builder Tramontin, whose heirs still run the Tramontin boatyard. The construction of the gondola continued to evolve until the mid-20th century, when the city government prohibited any further modifications.
The oar or rèmo is held in an oar lock known as a fórcola. The forcola is of a complicated shape, allowing several positions of the oar for slow forward rowing, powerful forward rowing, turning, slowing down, rowing backwards, and stopping. The ornament on the front of the boat is called the fèrro (meaning iron) and can be made from brass, stainless steel, or aluminium. It serves as decoration and as counterweight for the gondolier standing near the stern.
Gondolas are handmade using 8 different types of wood (fir, oak, cherry, walnut, elm, mahogany, larch and lime) and are composed of 280 pieces.[5][unreliable source?] The oars are made of beech wood. The left side of the gondola is made longer than the right side. This asymmetry causes the gondola to resist the tendency to turn toward the left at the forward stroke. It is a common misconception that the gondola is a paddled vessel when the correct term is rowed i.e. "I rowed my gondola to work".
The profession of gondolier is controlled by a guild, which issues a limited number of licenses granted after periods of training and apprenticeship, and a major comprehensive exam[6] which tests knowledge of Venetian history and landmarks, foreign language skills, and practical skills in handling the gondola[7] typically necessary in the tight spaces of Venetian canals.
The gondola is also one of the vessels typically used in both ceremonial and competitive regattas, rowing races held amongst gondoliers using the technique of Voga alla Veneta.
The origin of the word "gondola" has never been satisfactorily established, despite many theories.[8]
In August 2010, Giorgia Boscolo became Venice's first female gondolier.
You will need:
- BA RPG: front and rear grips
- BA MG42: main body and barrel
- 2x BA Dadao: triangular fairings on the side of the barrel
- BA Spy Carbine: ventral greebles
- TLC #2569 Whip Antenna: for pinning the front and rear grips to the main body
- TLC #6246b Minifig Hammer: IR scanner
For tools, you'll need the usual: hobby clippers, hobby knife, pin vise, razor saw, CA glue. The razor saw is optional but will make cleaner cuts for some of the modifications.
In lieu of the Lego whip antenna you can use a PSR barrel to attach the foregrip, but it is a more expensive solution. You can also pin the rear grip using paper clip instead of the antenna/barrel solution. Using the whip antenna will require only a 5/64" drill bit for both attachments.
Cut as shown. The middle part of the RPG (with the grip still attached) becomes the foregrip of the M56. The end segment of the RPG will be the rear grip. You can also use the handle of the Lego hammer as the rear grip, which will look a little nicer and come with its own built-in pin, but you'll have to figure out the diameter of the hole to drill. You'll need holes in one end of the rear grip and the bottom stub of the foregrip as shown by the green lines.
Once you've cut the Dadaos as shown, it's really a matter of filing and sanding the edges until you're satisfied. You can also try to hollow out the triangular holes they're supposed to have, but it's a lot of risky work.
Cut off the grip, stock, and front sight post on the MG42. File the sides of the receiver a little smooth so that the Dadao fairings will lie flat against the sides of the barrel where they should. Drill two holes in the MG42 for the whip antenna segments or your alternative choice of pinning solutions--one vertically all the way through the part of the barrel just in front of where it meets the receiver, and one in the back where the stock used to be.
Get rid of the scope and grip on the Spy Carbine and smooth the bottom until it'll lay flat against the bottom of the MG42's receiver where its grip used to be.
Glue the rear grip into place where the stock of the MG42 used to be. Glue the antenna or PSR barrel segment into the bottom of the foregrip, and insert the pin into the hole you drilled through the top of the MG42 without gluing it--you'll need to be able to swivel this a little bit in order to adjust the fig's grip on the weapon.
Glue the head of the hammer to the top of the barrel in between the triangular fairings, just in front of the foregrip.
Aaaaand you're done. I know, I make it sound easier than you think it is, but really it's a pretty straightforward mod--the only significant amount of actual shaping you need to do is on the Dadao blades to turn them into the side fairings.

'70 or '71 Chevrolet Chevelle "Day Two" muscle car. Chevelle's remain popular among muscle car enthusiasts with the best of the bunch being the SS454 with the LS6 454ci big-block Chevy. These cars were unbeatable on the street. This one was immediately modified with headers, custom wheels, tunnel ram intake, dual 4bbl carbs, and traction bars on the second day being home from the dealer (referred to as "day two' modifications). I hope you enjoy this one, it was fun to build and try to figure out the rear quarter shaping.I took a few liberties here, the main one being the single instead of dual headlights, I just couldn't find a solution I liked for dual headlights at this scale.
288 has made it out of Rio and is coming up on Doylestown. I intercept him at Long Crossing Road, where a Milwaukee Road-era WRRS crossing setup still remains.
Both the lead engine and the crossing set up are very old, but have upgrades to make them useable. 6306 is an SD60-3, rather than an SD60, so it has newer software and electrical equipment. The old WRRS setup still retains the original gate mast and base, however a WCH E-Bell and LED lights are in place of the mechanical bell and incandescent lights that once ruled the Milwaukee.
