left side is the "before" version and the right side is after reshaping. Proof that SR seatposts don't have to be ugly!
I removed the distrating tree away, with the use of Cloning Stamp in Photoshop. Gosh! I thought that wouldnt be hard doing that! but it took me 2 hours to complete it! (Of course including a few games on Zuma Blitz on Facebook to rest my eyes, eventhough the game didnt actually help much!)
the original one with tree on the right top corner
and did another one with just cropping the tree away.
hmmm~ I do think the cropping makes the photo a bit to tight? however, the two focused flowers pop out! hmm! such a dilemma!
I really did not like the dark grey barrel that Lego used for the arms, and the usage of 2 of those bowls back to back created what looked like a weak spot. However, after tinkering around with the design, I realized changing around the parts to make it look better and have good stability was a little difficult. Using a lot of 2x2 round bricks was extremely boring, even those with ridges. I also wanted to make the hand/claws be able to pivot at the wrist, but in order to do so, the arm would either end up way too long to accommodate the parts, or would use technic liftarms too much and be wide and flat or too bulky for the scale. Also, making it look good and having the 'hand' able to swivel was also a bit difficult as most connections were only stable with an axle.
My solution was 2 wheel parts surrounding a straight technic connector with a hole in the center. The hole allows for parts to be attached. See my other pics for the arm attachment I made.

I was sick of fighting with the ugly great triangular flange that my headers were built with so took the opporunity to weld on something a bit more friendly to take on and off. This is one of these machined flanges that is held by a single clamp.
You can see my nice neat TIG welding on the left vs my blobby first attempt ever at MIG welding on the right from when I first built the exhaust
"The Toyota GR86 Cup is a racing version of the Toyota GR86 used in the one-make Toyota GR Cup racing series. The GR86 Cup uses a 2.4L FA24 flat-4 mated to a Sadev 6-speed sequential transmission, creating about 228 horsepower.
The initial release is a replica of Toni Breidinger's Toyota GR86 Cup car. The model was first presented in one-off form in 2023 but later given multiple modifications for simplification and for use in the Mainline owing to the line's budgetary restrictions".
Fairly hyped on first release though I did finally manage to track this one down at a Tedi discount store in Spain as part of a sizeable 2024 Case N haul.
Mint and boxed.
To seal the air tank, I cut off the threaded portion and filled in the hole with hot glue. You can do whatever you like for this, I like hot glue.
On a side note, don't buy the ACE brand hot glue, it has this weird yellow tinge and tends to bubble a lot more than the stuff I usually use, which is Stanley Brand Dual-Temp sticks.

This boy face needs to become a girl.
I am sanding off parts of the heavy eyebrows, and the nose is already a bit tinier. I am not done yet, I need to get it balanced more. Also the eyes are opened, but need to be a bit more opened first.
Still a lot to work on

a pair of Sony powered speakers to go with my MP3 player. Nothing like some soft tunes to listen to going down the road. They are attached to the water bottle cages that are clamp mounted to the upper seat stay.
