Following my first passenger train modification started a second project and I received the missing parts yesterday so was able to complete the update. All wagons are modular with working doors, one with a restroom, also worked on the locomotives both sides equipped with doors, the last one -including passenger seats- has a door access to the drivers cab which were also upgraded...how do you like this one? PS: the new hospital is under construction now and also decided to work on another train (7938) 😆
I’ve finally gotten around to taking some photos of my Razor Crest mods! Since all my pictures are on a dull grey background (that’s also getting a bit battered) I thought I’d buy some new card... it turns out buying from a high street shop is the way to go, let’s hope the UK lockdown ends soon before I forgot how to spell subtle!
Instructions for the mod are available here...

This simple modification of the LEGO Empire State Building set (21046) represents something that almost, but not quite, happened.
The spire on top of the Empire State Building had been planned as an airship mooring tower during the design and construction of the building. A few attempts were made by various airships to approach or moor during 1931. This model depicts the Goodyear Blimp Columbia which successfully delivered newspapers to the building in September 1931 (without mooring) by lowering them on a line.
The New York Times and Portable NYC have more information about this interesting period in the building's history.
The Columbia is shown in the correct scale for the Empire State Building set which is approximately 1:800 scale. The Columbia was 45m long and so should measure a little over 7 studs. This design is just under 7.5 studs. This MOC removes the communications mast at the top of the building (which was not present during the 1931 mooring attempts).
Free building instructions are available.
handhelditems.com held a sale on their Samsung Tab leather case with attached Bluetooth keyboard for a reasonable $30 using the coupon code "tabbluetooth." I predict you'll also find these sorts of cases on Amazon.com and other mobile retailers, as I've seen similar keyboards affixed to iPad cases.
Without modification, the Nook Color fits the case with some material overlapping the screen. In the first image, I have marked two areas with black ink that overlap when the Nook is oriented with the "n" button to the right side of the case. Also in the first picture, I made two cuts to the left and right spans of material that connect the upper and lower halves of the case frame together. These cuts are visible in the first picture. I found these cuts allowed me to move the frame further apart and eliminate the need to trim additional material. The halves do not need to be joined to securely hold the Nook Color in place.
Here are some modifications to the 2023 UCS X-Wing Starfighter set 75355. The landing gear stand is the biggest addition, I've also made subtle changes to the nose of the ship and added an almost correctly scaled R2-D2. Free instructions and parts lists for all three mods are on Rebrickable.
rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-149544/ron_mcphatty/ucs-x-wing-s...
The Landing Gear Stand provides an easy way to display the X-Wing on a coffee table. The ship doesn't need to be modified at all, just lifted off the set's original stand and slotted onto the positioning support. The gear are built into the stand itself!
As a seperate mod I've rebuilt the top surface of the nose section to give it a bit of a slope, hopefully improving the very flat looking nose. The side panels need some slight modifications to fill some gaps and I've made the nose grey, just out of personal perference.
The midi-scale R2-D2 is slightly too large but I think looks good next to the ship when landed! Huge thanks to Jan Woźnica for letting me use his very clever R2 design and make some adjustments, please check out his instagram (@john.carter.creations) and his awesome Tales of The Space Age Lego Ideas set!
I couldn't figure out why my 5x7 images were out of focus. So upon disassembly of the back I made some measurements. Turns out the ridge for the light trap on the old holders is a little further from the end. Approx .060 inch...So off to the Mill we go :-)
I cut the strap off of the top of the apron and replaced it with a soft leather strap I cut. Then I sewed a vertical line in the top pocket so I can carry a pen or a screwdriver in it more easily. Since I was already screwing around, I put my name on it too. Round House sells these aprons for like 12 bucks and they're great for keeping stuff off of you when you're doing anything messy.
In the summer of 1996 two former Bristol Omnibus Company Eastern Coach Works bodied Bristol LH buses are parked up at Swanage railway station for use on the service to Bournemouth via the Sanbanks ferry, for which the front end modification is clearly visible.
The versatility of the Lockheed Constellation airframe led to a number of modifications done by both the US Navy and the USAF, which generally shared the same EC-121 designation despite their different roles. Navy aircraft included the WV-2Q (EC-121M) electronic intelligence and WV-3 (WC-121N) weather reconnaissance aircraft. These lacked the radar domes of the WV-2/EC-121K and, in the case of the EC-121M, flew clandestine missions along the borders of the Eastern Bloc.
The USAF also modified a small number of Constellations into specialized variants, mostly testbeds identical to the standard EC-121D that tested the QRC-248 (“Quick Look”) and Rivet Gym (EC-121M) setups. Four were also briefly modified during the Cuban Missile Crisis as EC-121Q Gold Diggers, which tracked U-2 missions over Cuba. The largest number of modified Constellations, however, was the EC-121R, codenamed Batcat. Classified until the early 1980s, Batcat EC-121s were ex-Navy WV-2s and WV-3s supplied to the USAF and stripped off their radar domes. 25 Batcats were sent to Thailand, flying with the 553rd Reconnaissance Wing at Korat RTAFB, Thailand. Batcat’s role was to monitor and coordinate Operation Igloo White, the electronic surveillance of the Ho Chi Minh Trail from North Vietnam, through Laos and Cambodia, to the South.
Igloo White was the brainchild of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, who envisioned an “electronic fence” around South Vietnam, which would save on manpower (and money). Using sensors dropped by USAF and US Navy aircraft, the sensors would bury themselves in the ground around known traffic points along the Trail. These sensors would then detect truck traffic and other manmade sounds, relay the signals to Batcats on station, which in turn would relay them to American forward air controllers, who would call in airstrikes.
While Igloo White had its uses and was on occasion very successful, halting Trail traffic was more effectively done by the FACs themselves or by US/South Vietnamese Special Forces on the Trail itself. Batcat missions lasted eighteen hours, requiring the aircraft to have better air conditioning than the standard EC-121. The project was wound down with the American pullout beginning in 1970, with the Batcats supplemented by QU-22 “Baby Bat” two-man aircraft, and ended for good in December 1971. Two Batcats were lost in fatal accidents during the war; the 28 survivors were later scrapped.
The EC-121R can be instantly identified not only by its lack of radar domes, but also its Southeast Asia camouflage of two shades of green and brown over white; Batcats were the only Constellations to receive camouflage schemes. Due to its clandestine nature, recognition markings on Batcats was limited to its bureau number on the tail.
Some older AI images modified with new Photoshop beta. Borders were expanded and then auto filled by Photoshop. A whole new world.
Work-in-progress of continued kit modification.
For realism, the decking is made of cherry wood; hand-scribed and stippled to represent nails.
This is a brand new City of Brooksville, Florida, Department Public Works, Solid Waste Division, recycling truck. The cab/chassis is a Ford F-750 Superduty and it was converted by Monroe Modifications into a dual drive configuration (standing drive on the right hand side). The body is a Kann Up and Over (an improved version of the Dempster Recycle-One body). This truck also has a Kann Side Dump Plastics Compactor.

“Last days of ‘Dadamachinima’ expo A’dam ends with Machinima Festival”
MMIF 2009
Ma Machinima International Festival 02-28-2009
PLANETART Wibautstraat 150 Amsterdam / SL: RastaOpen4 sim.
‘MMIF 2009′ is the first edition of an annual global film festival in cyberspace and simultaneously in Amsterdam (NL). In Amsterdam MMIF 2009 will happen at the very last day of the ‘Dadamachinima’ media-art exhibition by PLANETART about avant-garde videogame modification, started 18 December 2008.
MMIF 2009 is a celebration of machinima: a new cinematic art form, created with 3D virtual worlds and online computergames. All the actors (avatars) are individually operated real-time by real people while movie scenes are directed and recorded. On 3D web platforms like Second Life, directors can even build complete movie sets for relatively low costs. MMIF 2009 aims to bring machinima to a wider audience, online
and offline.
Over forty short machinima films are screened at MMIF 2009, from all over the world. Machinima created wih all 3D web platforms and online games are welcome.
At the MaMachinima Theatre in Second Life, the artists and directors from many countries will be present in real time to talk about their creations. And to meet other machinimatographers and an international audience online.
The audience in Amsterdam can view the machinima films live via Second Life on a big screen at the auditorium of the PLANETART artspace in the former Volkskrantbuilding, .
Free entrance. Free wireless internet and electricity provided for audience laptops.

This is my modification of Marvel Select Iron Man Mark VI, just pull off the legs & head with hair dryer, I've no Hasbro Version so i dont know the figure's structure is the same or not, anyway...to all the friends who want to improve the posing ability of this figure. :D
A section of straight chassis rail has been welded into place, replacing the sloping rear section that suited its previous tractor unit role.

For some reason there are very few photos of the inside of a Behringer C-2 microphone available online. Only a handful of descriptions of the disassembly process exist, either, so I made this photo set and the accompanying descriptions in order to at least partially address this information gap.
The grill is a double mesh, which appears to be glued into the capsule body. Either heat or solvent bath should allow the grill to come free.
Wayne's Cycle Shop in Waynesboro Virginia (bless 'em) worked on my bike. Lovely! Some fantastic new mirrors, frame sliders that might be a good place to mount a small video camera, and they debadged the tank ready for the application of Autobot logos!
Modification of an underwater housing by using LEGO bricks, loc-line flexible hoses and optical fibers. The aim is to split and channel the light to better positions. Frontal underwater lighting cause backscatter due to the small particles in the water.
