Another Matchbox Series No4 Dodge K Series Stake Bed Truck Modification. 1966 to 1968 - 1-75 Series. This is the testing with the new color and the restored stake bed painted green. The color I like but on the truck but I am not happy with the stake bed. The warp is bad and I tried to fix it without it breaking which it wanted to do. I even soaked it in hot water to soften it but not luck.
Matchbox Series No4 Dodge K Series Stake Bed Truck Restoration. 1966 to 1968 - 1-75 Series. This is the second Stake bed I am restoring. I bought it years ago at a swap meet. The body is stripped and ready for paint. The Citristrip does a great job and washes off. This is a good body to restore. The stripped version sits next to the last one I restored to original.

Trinity Church (Bruck an der Leitha)
Bruck parish church
The Holy Trinity Church is the Roman Catholic parish church to the Holy Trinity in Bruck an der Leitha (Lower Austria).
First phase (1696-1702)
Second phase of construction (1738-40)
Last structural modifications (1782-83)
History
Since the old church of St. Martin before the gates of the "new" city in invasions of the enemy repeatedly was destroyed, for the ever growing population also long since became too small and the existing within the city walls monastery churches and chapels for worship (no longer) could be used, was in the mid-17th Century the decision taken to build a new parish church within the city gates. The siege by the Turks and the appearance of the plague thwarted these plans again and again. After the Ottoman army was defeated in 1683 successfully in the Battle of Vienna and the plague was considered extinct, the City Council in gratitude decided to build a dignified church on the main square newly. The church should be attached to the existing medieval tower. Served as the model the early Baroque Church of Gesù in Rome.
First phase (1696-1702)
Under architect Heinrich Hoffmann the nave was built parallel to the row of houses, which is why the city tower - now converted into a church tower - stands approximately 15 degrees rotated to the north. It was raised by the superstructure of the belfry and received a baroque spire.
Second phase of construction (1738-40)
The austere frontispiece was replaced by architect Johann Georg Windpässinger by the two-storey magnificent facade. The sculptural decoration was designed by Martin Vögerl (Marian column Hainburg an der Donau) and displays above the main portal (City Arms with the year 1740) the figure of St. John of Nepomuk with the representation of the Vltava River bridge at the base. Other figures in the basement are the portraits of the plague saints Sebastian with tree, Rochus with Pestbeule (bubo) at the knee and the Saint Florian with the bucket of water and the Holy Leopold. Upstairs - flanked by volutes crowned by vases from their ornamental vessels the flame of the sacrifice is licking - the representation of the Holy Archangel Michael, crashing Satan with a flaming sword into the abyss. In the tympanum a magnificent edged plate with the inscription: "QUIS UT DEUS" (Who is like God?)
Last structural changes (1782-83)
The spire was raised by the lantern of the death-knell and slightly modified in its shape (tower height: 53,35 m).
Pass away ringing:
The Schiedläuten (pass away ringing), (also: Scheideläuten, Scheidungsläuten, death ringing) means that when a case of death becomes known with the Schiedglocke (pass away bell) - in Switzerland/Austria also with the Zügenglocke (cf. "to be at one's last gasp" ) - is rung. This can be done either at the arrival of the news of the death, after the next Betläuten/Angelus or at another fixed time. In Austria there is also partly still the custom that in the event of death of a man the Schiedglocke rings three times, in the event of death of a woman two times and in the event of death of a child one time (Wikipedia).
Equipment
The interior is 42 meters long and 14 meters wide, the chapel niches on both sides each measure 3 meters. The single naved longhouse is spanned by a four-bay, slightly stuccoed lunette ton. Recessed pilasters, which are divided by double pilasters bear a sharp profiled beams to which join the barrel-vaulted galleries. The straight closing forms the retracted, two-bay choir.
The Baroque high altar from 1704 is a donation of Johann Jakob Stumpf, councillor and personal physician of Emperor Leopold I. Beautiful altarpiece depicting the Holy Trinity from the vicinity of Daniel Gran. Miraculous image of Our Lady of Sorrows (18th century) from the Spittelwaldkapelle (chapel). Statues of the apostles St. Paul (left) and St. Peter (right), of St. Barbara and St. Catherine with crown, sword and palm of victory in the entablature area.
Five side altars from the 2nd Quarter of the 18th century:
Corporis Christi or Corpus Christi altar with altarpiece of Saint Francis of Assisi from the mid-19th Century by the Viennese painter Leopold Schulz (School Professor Kuppelwieser).
Cross altar with an altarpiece Christ on the cross. Statues of Saint Jerome (left) and Augustine (right). Baptismal font from 1700, at the cover (second half of 18th century) the Baptism of Christ in the Jordan River by John the Baptist is shown.
Family altar with an altarpiece of the Holy Family: Mary and Joseph with the Infant Jesus, Elisabeth and Zacharias with the infant Saint John. Statues of St. Francis of Assisi (left) and Anthony of Padua (right), 1725 altar of Our Lady or Marie altar with oval image Mariahilf modeled after 16th Century. Baroque glass sarcophagus with relics of St. Theodorus martyr.
Plague altar with image of Saint Sebastian dying as a martyr (2nd half of 17th century), in front of it, lying Santa Rosalia with wreath of roses on her forehead. Statues of St. Rocco and St. Florian to 1730.
Baroque hanging pulpit, basket with relief of the Good Shepherd. Sounding board studded by group of evangelists, angels and tablets of commandments.
The in 1710 by Viennese organ architect Jakob Sippus built organ was enlarged in 1749 and has a statuette of King David at the closing. Currently, 300 wood and 996 tin pipes, the largest of five meters, the smallest one centimeter long.
The Great Bell (Vienna, 1752) shows a relief of the Madonna with Child, Peter, Paul and John of Nepomuk. With a diameter of 158 cm and a height of 150 cm, it sounds pitch h, with a weight of 2400 kg it is one of the largest bells in the province of Lower Austria .

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.

From my body modification series I did for my Advanced Lighting class, Fall 2013. Since body modifications are becoming more popular, but not necessarily accepted everywhere, especially in corporate america, I wanted to glamorize their creative expression and show my body mod's people some love!!!
Here is the actual "blueprint" that I used to plan of what I was going to do after I removed the mounting ring (it was a bayonet mount) and the aperture linkage stuff. The aperture stuff no longer worked as it had before once I removed the linkage stuff, so I had to get creative with what to do. Where it says "should be connected" in red, towards the bottom, I eventually created a little loop with a piece of paper clip and glued it to the outer metal piece and looped it over the inner one (which had to move up and down to focus properly). To boil it down: the plastic adjustment ring is attached to the metal ring which is attached to the aperture controls. The aperture ring doesn't click when I use it now, but it still does it's job. I needed some extra space between the lens and the camera body (it was actually too close) so I cut up some metal washers and glued those to the green highlighted areas, which were eventually glued to the actual mount. I'm sure that this is all relatively confusing, so if you have any questions or comments, I'd love to hear what you have to say! A full "how to" on this is in the description of this set.
Finished modification, complete with dodgy-looking red button!
I actually spent a good bit of time trying to get a combination of washers that looked good on the chrome plate

Inspirations came from Caveman Boon's modifications of Yamada Katsuhisa's "Pecking Kingfisher". I decided to make this a 2-piece model after I experimented and was not satisfied with a single piece model.
I want to make it as simple as possible so that just by looking at it you can mentally reverse-engineer it. The pecking mechanism is the same as Yamada Katshhisa's, folded from the Fish Base but I folded the 2 points together to make it double layers and stronger.
The shorter flaps are then used to hooked in between the layers of the Double-sided Heart.
The model works fine but for the video clip , I cheated a little by using some Bluetac to hold the layers together. Buddy Holly's "Heartbeat" is most appropriate for this model.
Other models can also be attached to the "Pecking Mechanism"
The filter on my monotron didn't track the keyboard properly, causing low notes to have a different timbre than high notes. I solved the problem by removing R42 (normally 300KΩ) and replacing it with a 1MΩ trimmer potentiometer.

Much of the detail was with the kit. Several changes were made to bring out the 'best' in the detail -such as adding extra sculpted pieces around the gallery windows.
At the stern, additional carvings are featured beneath the lantern; and on both sides of it, I added the shield-carrying lion and unicorn.
Displayed at the October 1970 Tokyo Motor Show[3] and marketed in December of the same year, the Celica was a personal car that emphasized styling and driving enjoyment. Japanese models were originally ET, LT, ST, and GT. The platform was shared with the Toyota Carina, a vehicle exclusive to Toyota Store Japanese dealerships. The Celica filled a market position previously held by the 1965–1969 Toyota Sports 800, when Toyota Corolla Store locations were previously known as Toyota Public Store, then renamed in 1966 as Toyota Corolla Store.
For export markets, the Celica was offered in three different levels of trim; LT, ST and GT.
At its introduction the Celica was only available as a pillarless hardtop notchback coupe, adopting "coke bottle styling". The SV-1 liftback was shown as a concept car at the 1971 Tokyo Motor Show. With slight modifications, this was introduced in Japan in April 1973 as the 2-liter RA25 and 1.600 L TA27 liftbacks. It was then exported to Europe in RHD form as the 1.6-liter liftback. After the October 1975 facelift, it was available in both RHD and LHD forms in other markets. The RV-1 wagon was also shown at the 1971 Tokyo Motor Show but it did not reach production.
The Japanese GT models had various differences from the ET, LT and ST including the hood flutes, power windows, air conditioning, and specific GT trim, but shared a few things with the ST – a full-length center console and oil pressure/ammeter gauges while the LT had warning lights for these functions. With the exception of the American market, the GT had a twincam engine (1600 cc 2T-G or 2000 cc 18R-G, not available on the ET, LT or ST) and always had 5-speed manual gearboxes. For the American market only, the GT had only a single cam engine (2000 cc 18R or 2200 cc 20R) with a choice of automatic or manual gearboxes.
There was also the GTV version, which introduced in 1972 with slightly less luxurious interior than the GT. The GTV came with firmer suspension for better handling.
The first-generation Celicas can be further broken down into two distinctive models. The first of these was the original with slant nose (trapezoid-like shape front corner light). This is for coupe model only, TA22, RA20, and RA21. These models were produced from 1970 to 1975 and came equipped with the 2T, 2T-G 1.6-liter, or 18R 2.0-liter motor. They had a 95 inches (2,400 mm) wheelbase. The second series had a flat nose (square front corner light) and slightly longer wheelbase (98 in or 2,500 mm wheelbase). This facelift model appeared in Japan in 1974, but for export was the 1976 model year. The Japanese version had engines under 2.0 liters so as to conform to Japanese regulations concerning engine displacement size, thereby allowing buyers to avoid an additional tax for a larger engine. Japanese buyers did pay a higher annual road tax for engines over 1.5 litres while staying under the 2.0 litre threshold.
In some markets, the lower-end LT was equipped with the single carbureted four-cylinder 2T engine displacing 1,600 cc, while the ST came with a twin downdraft-carburetor 2T-B engine. The 2T-G that powered the high-end GT model was a DOHC 1,600 cc engine equipped with twin Mikuni-Solex Carburetors.
The first Celica for North America, 1971 ST was powered by 1.9-liter 8R engine. The 1972–1974 models have 2.0-liter 18R-C engines. For 1975–77, the engine for the North American Celica is the 2.2-liter 20R. The Celica GT and LT models were introduced in the US for the 1974 model year. The top-line GT included a 5-speed manual transmission, rocker panel GT stripes, and styled steel wheels with chrome trim rings. The LT was marketed as an economy model. Mid-1974 saw minor changes in the Celica's trim and badges and slightly different wheel arches. The A30 automatic transmission became an option on North American ST and LT models starting in the 1973 model year. For 1975, the 1974 body was used, but body-color plastic fascia and sturdier chrome and black rubber bumpers, replaced the chrome bumpers used in the earlier cars (in accordance with US Federal bumper laws). Unfortunately the early 8R and 18R series engines proved to be less than durable, with early failures common. The 1974 18R-C engine's durability was improved somewhat, but the 20R introduced for 1975 proved to be a better engine in most respects.
Liftback
1973 Toyota Celica liftback 2000 GT (RA25, Japan)
The liftback was introduced for Japanese market in April 1973, but not until 1976 for export models. Models for home market liftback were 1600ST, 1600GT (TA27), 2000ST, and 2000GT (RA25 and RA28). The American liftback was only offered as GT (RA29) with a 2.2-liter 20R engine. All the liftback models have flat noses. Although there is no "B" pillar in the liftback, the rear windows do not roll down (as they do in the hardtop coupe).
The liftback was often called the "Japanese Mustang" or the "Mustang Celica" because of the styling similarities to the Ford Mustang pony car, including C-pillar louvers and the vertical bar tail lights that are a signature Mustang styling cue and overall homages to the muscle-car era.

Another Matchbox Series No4 Dodge K Series Stake Bed Truck Modification. 1966 to 1968 - 1-75 Series. I didn't show it but the body has been painted a silver metallic that is actually a satin finish. I really wanted it gloss but I like this color for some reason. I used the color to restore my 65 Rambler dealer promo. My wife walked over with a box of the kids old 90's Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars that are pretty rough and she said maybe there are some good parts in here and there was this yellow truck box with all of the old cars. Kind of a silly side graphics but I was thinking maybe better than the stake bed.
little modification with Hideo Komatsu's design, it has eyes now.
fold from one piece of uncut squre paper 3*3 inches
amber got some ink, i got a new plug. i had a 2 in there but lost it at the hotel at some point. so, she shrank up a bit. i went to Cowpoke and they jammed this lovely 0 plug in there for me, so it matches the other side. for the rest of the day i felt like someone slugged me in the ear.
this is part of my project, Project 365, in which i will create a self-portrait every day for an entire year. check it out here: www.flickr.com/photos/pirata_custureira/sets/721576066793...

The sculptured facade of this building was fascinating and visually elaborate. I plan on going back to capture some more images of this gem however I don't recall where Andy and I ran across this shot.

My Steinhart GMT Ocean 1 that I received Monday is a beautiful watch. There was one issue. The clasp on the bracelet did not sit flat on my wrist. So I took the bracelet loose from the clasp and put the curved folding parts in a vice, flattened them quite a bit, and now it's much better. In this photo the photos on top are before the flattening and below are after. This modification takes just a few minutes and the opening and closing tension remained the same because both of the folding sections were flattened at the same time while in the closed position. The photo in the lower right was just after it was taken out of the vice. I know others have had the same issue so I thought I would share this simple fix.
