I feel like this is the most obvious possible modification to the new Fender Stratocaster set, right? Turning it into a Tele? In fact, I think it might have been neat for LEGO to include the parts to do this conversion instead of including enough pieces to build the Strat in black. It's fewer needed extra pieces, anyway. And while I'm dreaming here, I wish they had included those printed fretboard tiles in tan, too, so we could pick our preferred fretboard wood!
Sorry, enough rambling. See it on RB if you'd like.

So...what did I do to this EAH body?
Long story short:
After I shortened the neck and upper arms, I put the bits that were cut off in an acetone resistent lidded jar and added pure acetone ( don't smell the stuff! Work in a well ventilated area!). Once the plastic had melted to the right consistency, I used it to thicken the neck, glue back together the upper arms and to elongate the knees, then once the plastic was solid again I used sandpaper to make everything smooth.
I also cut a little bit of lenght from the bottom of her forearms, and slimmed down the calves ( her forearms and lower legs are made from different types of plastic and won't melt with acetone)
Short story long:
Like people who repaint dolls know well, acetone won't damage a doll's vinyl head, but it will melt its plastic body. In the past I used this fact to my advantage to remove the kind of copyright information that's molded ( insted of printed ) on some dolls and to glue back some doll torsos that I had cracked open and limbs that I had shortened.
When I had to modify this EAH body to fit my custom mini unoa head, I first thought about thickening the neck with epoxy putty, but then I would have had to use paint to cover the mods, and paint chips and it's difficult to match anyway. That's when I remembered the plastic melting properties of acetone, and after a quick internet search which returned a lot of results about car repairs... AND this tutorial www.flickr.com/photos/6_6tina/albums/72157646135456221 I was finally able to obtain my ideal closest equivalent to a 1/6 scale Unoa body... that's not a resin fluorite Unoa light *cries*
By the way:
Almost a year ago, when I posted the first pictures of this body, I included a brief "how to" underneath a pic of the naked body, hybridized with the head of Barbie's little sister Chelsea. That photo gained thousands of views in a suspiciously very short time.
Now... I'm not bothered -AT ALL- by doll nudity, but somehow, the fact that what was basically a child's head on a fairly realistically sculpted naked body was gaininig so many views so fast made me a bit uneasy, lol :| so I deleted the picture... totally forgetting about the tutorial underneath it, so here it is again :P
This is a modification of the imperial TX-225 Hovertank. It's not from me but from HRU Bricks on YouTube. So check the link below.
The modification includes an extension, a third container place, a fifth fin at the front armour and a revision of the command station with hatches so that the tank drivers can see out.

There's now an ATM and the additional floor provides room for an insurance agent, who might not be the most respectable one.
Dear friends, you are more than welcome to visit my channel.
These are some photos regarding my eleventh Lego MOC set named Cartoon series.
Dear all, we finally come to the last series, and I am kind of proud of myself because I have put a lot of effort in every series. Constant brainstorming and continual modifications, each vehicle is my finest work. And, of course, doctoring pictures is just another perspiration. Many Many
thanks for your accompany all along. Last but not least, hope you can also enjoy this final series of my Lego MOC.
There are still 6 videos (size comparison videos) to go. However, it is Chinese New Year now in my country; therefore, the rest of the videos may be a little bit late- perhaps I will have more time in mid-Feburary. Anyhow, wish all my dear family and my friends safe and sound in this beautiful season. :)
This set includes:
(1) Chibi Batpod: Based on the special-designed motorcycle in the film-Dark Knight Trilogy. I built this batpod-like but a bit more compact. The proportion and style are particularly adjusted. A shout-out to whoever design the original batpod.
(2) Batmobile (Tumbler): Once again, this is another MOC also from Dark Knight Trilogy. Well, according the designer, this tank-like tumbler is a mixture of Hummer and Lamborghini. I can tell you that this is by far and so far my favorite batmobile among all the movie, or cartoon- batmobiles.
How do you like my own version of tumbler?
(3) Assault Batmobile: Simply put, this is kind of a modified version of the official set-76045, known as BvS batmobile from the movie Batman v Superman. The body lines of the official one is a bit complex so I thought if I can still keep its initial assault design but with sleeker and simpler body line(s). For me, I like the rear part of this batmobile most.
(4) Knightcrawler: Hmmm.... How should I start it? My idea all began from the official set-76086, and.... the official one is so ugly....(sorry but I do think so..) From the first sight I saw knightcralwer in the theater, I immediately understood Lego failed to nail its real shape and spirit. Additionally, the idea of making knightcrawler a tank for my Lego batman series is in my brain that I could never get rid of. I used some illegal techniques (I glued some parts to make it looks more like the movie version.) Nontheless, I am satisfied with the final work very much.
(5) Hoverboat: Lego released the first batman hoverboat-7780 in 2006. I have to say it is an awesome set to play with. However, I care so much about the size and proportion (for a minifigure scale). So I downsized it with some touches based on my personal preference.
(6) Batwing: From the official set 76027, this batwing became one of my favorite aircraft among all my mocs/mods.
Thank you so much for viewing my Lego works. My only intention is to share. Hope you like these cute toys. peace. :)
Dear friends, you are more than welcome to visit my channel.
These are some photos regarding my tenth Lego MOC set named Cartoon series.
Perhaps this is a set with my favorite Batman minifigure (lol). I came up with this crazy idea when I saw all the offcial sets in 2019. Honestly, the combination of color black, red and yellow make great match in my opinion, and I was extremely thrilled and somehow just cannot wait
to build a "CARTOONIZED" series for batman. Now hope you can enjoy and appreciate these funky vehicles. :)
This set includes:
(1) Chibi Spider-Android: A modified version of the official set- 30243. And for some reason I just have an idea that a bat along with a spider is a fun match-up if I really want to build to cartoonized version of batman chibi vehicle.
(2) Batmobile: Umm...I think i put part of the 1966 batmobile concept into this cartoon batmible. And I particularly love its "blocky" and chucky look. Fun fact: If you take a close look at it, you will find out there are 8 wheels in total.
(3) Batcycle: I don't really have some special explanations for this motorcycle. It is designed as my other motorbike- a little angled up in the middle and tried to create a beautiful bodyline for it. However, I do believe that the stickers play a vital role overall.
(4) Bat Mech: This giant Bat-Mech is inspired by the official set- 76117. However, I don't really dig the original version, especially the leg design. I think you can see the obvious difference with this optimized version. And hopefully I successfully give a more menacing feel/look to it.
(5) Batsub: Yes, the official set- 76116, I didn't do much with this set for its original appearance is so great already. A few touches and modifications were done to it only.
(6) Flying Fox: I can't tell you how much I love the vehicles in the movie Justice League, though the first version is such a "DISASTER" the way I see it. And the later Snyder cut version is way~~ better in my opinion; There is no reason that I don't build a cartoon version of this already well-designed aircraft from the movie.
Thank you so much for viewing my Lego works. More pictures of the last series are coming in soon. My only intention is to share. Hope you like these cute toys. peace. :)

I randomly found these
on the internet and posted a collage in my stream a few months ago asking for SL designers to recreate the look in SL and now they did! This is a first picture until i can get the whole set including the redone piercings to do the look properly( *edit/update: there :D)
the awesome hair is by M4ri1yn Magic from Tableau Vivant. He flickr mailed me yesterday and gave it to me! (also has a hair base but sl refused to rezz it in timely fashion and i crashed right after i took this....that i didn't miss)
the piercings are the old version by HoD from a few months ago, but he has redone them fresh and new with extras
glam affair even did a skin with fitting makeup (need demo ~(*o*)~ )(edit.:and 5 days later i realize that i don't need to demo, because the skin was in the hair pack i got ...sometimes i wonder...but it was 1am maybe that explains it...shame on me anyway...ugh...)
the set is available at The Body Modification Event as it seems, here is a link to Tableau Vivants Announcement
I'm really happy it was done, was too awesome not to be~<3
In case you have missed it, on my website I explain why I believe the rear suspension of the LEGO 42083 Bugatti Chiron has a design flaw and how I think it could have been solved: www.nkubate.com/model-optimization-a-42083-showcase/
An interesting photograph of two Matadors, on the left is the ex Wolverhampton Corporation "standard" type. On the right is the ex Birmingham City Transport Matador. It was always said in the Birmingham City Transport workshop that the vehicle was ex Royal Navy the same as the the fleets original Matador. Since acquiring 117, Rod Handford has done a lot of research into its history. The build cards for it show it was built as an Armoured Command Vehicle, or Dorchester as they became known by the troops. These would be very low mileage when sold off by the Ministry, this one going to the well known PSV breaker Birds of Stratford upon Avon. Birmingham must have done some form of deal with him as it arrived in Tyburn Road Works around the 23 June 1959, now with a cab, from an ex RAF AEC, probably a AEC 854 refueler, (some paint still in cab and photograph indicate it was almost certainly fitted with an autovac), and new headlights. A few modifications have been found, including the road springs, it has two additional leaves in each spring which considerably increase its riding height, hence the staged photograph
Modification of set #10220 (VW T1 Camper Van) with different colours and a slightly different interior.
This is another modification of the original great white shark design from 1999. To make the longer tail, the 5x5 grid was changed to a 6x6 grid. Getting the layers of the tail sorted out took a lot of trial and error as they were not at all cooperating with me.
I stripped out the adhesive on the light strips and put in some 3M Dual Lock velcros so to allow more options for light positioning
Modification d'un requin de N.Terry (dont le modèle original est à gauche) avec la queue dans le bon sens, pour le Challenge interpretation du forum français.
My entry for the "interpretation challenge" on the french forum. Original model from N. Terry (on the left).
To eliminate the ME Models adapter piece. Half straights aren't always feasible. Not only does it mess up the geometry unless you fix it with another half, but in some places they don't work!
Modification includes : rebuilding jaw so no longer spring action, and rebuilding club/weapon so it fits in hand properly. Grimlock was painted with MANY shades of metallic paint, and went through 45 stages of dry brushing and detail effects to make him look like old worn metal. He was clear coated in a prismatic lacquer paint, giving his metal parts a full spectrum of color at certain angles of light. Then clear coated in a high-gloss lacquer.
A little bit poseable custom job in holiday. :)
I added the revoltech mid-size ball joint to deacon's shoulder, and modified the neck part shape of the head, the head joint's peg now is 45 degree backward, not looking down anymore. the creature more looks like my ideal figure now. :)
The Yea Shire Hall in Yea’s main thoroughfare of High Street was originally a single storey building erected in 1877. The grander double storey Victorian Academic Classical building with a tower that stands on the site today was built in 1894 by architect L. J. Bishop. Its construction is of concrete with cement rendering. Its facilities include a ballroom, a stage, two dressing rooms and a supper room.
The Yea Shire Hall has aesthetic appeal and is of social significance, as it was the headquarters of the shire and council meetings, which were conducted in the building’s supper room. Today, the hall caters for the cultural, amusement, entertainment and recreation needs of the community. Remodelling was undertaken in 1894 and extensions in 1923 when the building’s kitchens were finally sewered. The office accommodation was converted to sewered toilet rooms in 1968.
The hall is typical of the mid Victorian eclectic revival and modification of various stands of European Renaissance architecture that culminated in the Academic Classical style. The building is symmetrical with rounded windows and entrance inspired by Roman or Renaissance architecture. The construction date of 1894 and building’s name appear above the doorway on the pediment. The pedemented portico is inspired by a classical temple front, which may also have inspired the Corinthian topped columns that ornament the front. The façade itself, covered in cement render, has the ground floor as a base and the main floor treated like a piano nobile. Other typical attributes of the Victorian Academic Classical style include the balustrade ornamented parapet, which conceals the roof, and perhaps the building’s most impressive feature, the prominent central tower with its mansard roof. The tower employs classical motifs and garland boiseries and features a working clock.
Yea is a small country town located 109 kilometres (68 miles) north-east of Melbourne in rural Victoria. The first settlers in the district were overlanders from New South Wales, who arrived in 1837. By 1839, settlements and farms dotted the area along the Goulburn River. The town was surveyed and laid out in 1855 and named after Colonel Lacy Walter Yea (1808 – 1855); a British Army colonel killed that year in the Crimean War. Town lots went on sale at Kilmore the following year. Settlement followed and the Post Office opened on 15 January 1858. The town site was initially known to pioneer settlers as the Muddy Creek settlement for the Yea River, called Muddy Creek until 1878. When gold was discovered in the area in 1859 a number of smaller mining settlements came into existence, including Molesworth. Yea expanded into a township under the influx of hopeful prospectors, with the addition of several housing areas, an Anglican church (erected in 1869) and a population of 250 when it formally became a shire in 1873. Yea was promoted as something of a tourist centre in the 1890s with trout being released into King Parrot Creek to attract recreational anglers. A post office was built in 1890, followed by a grandstand and a butter factory (now cheese factory) in 1891. There was a proposal in 1908 to submerge the town under the Trawool Water Scheme but it never went ahead. Today Yea is a popular stopping point for tourists on their way from Melbourne to the Victorian snow fields and Lake Eildon, and is very popular with cyclists who traverse the old railway line, which has since been converted into a cycling trail.

Qu'en dites-vous ?
This CP is technically incomplete. I have left out the modification that adds the puff stars. However this is the base CP that will have to be folded first. Also, the proportions of the paper and resolution of the grid are the specifications I chose for the one I folded.
For anyone trying to fold this tessellation, it's not that difficult to collapse. If you precrease everything in the CP (including the non-grid lines), you can collapse it in 3 stages.
1. Collapse the hexagonal twists and triangle twists.
2. Working one at a time, go around undoing the triangle twists and fully collapsing the rest of the crease pattern.
3. Apply some function to the hexagonal twists (in my case, a puff star).

TEM2 (ТЭМ2) shunting locomotives were built routinely at 1960-90 yy primarily by the Bryansk Machine-Building Plant (JSC BMZ located in Bryansk, Russia; Брянский машиностроительный завод). With 6225 total production of base modification, 1000 were built in Soviet Ukraine by the Voroshilovgrad Locomotive works, (Ворошиловградский тепловозостроительный завод, ВЗОР, now the Luhansk Locomotive works), the leading Soviet Plant for steam engine and diesel locomotive production located in now rebel Luhansk Region.
The long story of TEM2 locomotives started when a small number of the ALCO RSD-1 switchers were obtained by USSR as the Lend-Lease shipments during WW2. They were designated as Da20 (Да20) type of locomotives of Soviet Railways. www.flickr.com/photos/cetus13/50992848521/in/album-721577...
The ALCO RSD-1 was hastily developed version of the ALCO RS-1 switcher with 2-axle bogie replaced by 3-axle for the poor Iranian railtracks that were used for shipment of Soviet Russia during war with Nazi Germany and Allies. By Jerry Pinkepank opinion this engine saved Soviet Russia during WW2 as it provided shipment of a bigger half of the lend-lease supplies (4 160 000 gross long tons) across Iran to USSR.
TE1 (ТЭ1), the first Soviet diesel locomotive built in big series at 1947-50 (298 ones) was in fact the non-lycensed copy of the american ALCO RSD-1 locomotive but in metric scale. www.flickr.com/photos/cetus13/47941920187/in/album-721577... TE1 were not excellent as the mainline locomotives, so its next variation, TEM1, were intended to use as shunting locomotives. They were developed on the base of TE1 locomotive and still had many elements of original ALCO RSD-1 design, but with modifications - bogies were significantly improved (especially the technology of its fabrication), also the D50 diesel (metric variant of the ALCO 539T used in TE1 and TE2) was modified to 2D50 (2Д50) version. www.flickr.com/photos/cetus13/48045101808/in/album-721577... TEM2 was developed as upgrade of the TEM1 with some modifications made including improved 1200 hp diesel PD1M (ПД1М) - further development of the 1000 hp. 2D50, bogies had additional coiled springs included in etc.
i'm not sure that they actually do & I am not sure that believing in supernatural stuff is a recipe for a more harmonious world (if that is what it even means)
....but I suppose it is a more wholesome message than the initial graffiti
someone has written "IRA" in black and someone else has modified it.
Or maybe it is a reference to the Good Friday Agreement and peace process? That would be a better interpretation to my mind.
As i walked along (dog walking) I thought about alternative modifications that could have been made. I like "inspIRAtion is everywhere" but will probably think of something better next time I walk the dogs here.
My sewing scissors (actual size and all). Old picture taken right after it was done, a new one should be up soon :)

The modification to a 4-Piece Star from the original Andrey Hechuev's 8-Piece New-Found Hope Star is slightly different from the earlier ones of 5 to 12-Piece. The earlier modification involves the changing of the angle of the 1/2 Fish Base. This 4-Piece version is slightly different and is derived from a 1/4 Windmill Base. I have adjusted the initial folds of the 1/4 Windmill Base to show less of the reverse side of the paper. 7.5cm squares of Duo-coloured papers are used to fold the modules. Diagrams later.
Many thanks to Andrey Hechuev. Video Tutorial of his original 8-Piece version here:-
