It has pneumatic suspension and motorized/remotely controlled driving and steering. It has a working steering wheel and remotely controlled original functions (doors, rear spoiler and hood - choice of a function is done manually with gearbox lever, like in the original).
It has additional two L motors for driving and M motor for steering, two IR receivers (one of them V2). Original battery box has been replaced with 8878 rechargeable battery box which is smaller so I could hide it behind panels at the rear for more realistic appearance.
Original suspension (6.5 L hard springs) has been changed with 6.5 L soft spring + small pneumatic cylinder, for all wheels. It has large pneumatic pump at the back and pneumatic switch at the cabin for controlling riding height.

In its display case (without the stand), Revell 1:450 scale model kit, recently completed (with modifications: notably, handrails on boat deck, foredeck and after decks).
Notwthstanding the 1983 colours on the box, the model represents the ship as it was about 1972-76, so I have painted it accordingly, with the exception of the boat deck bulkheads, which are white, rather than khaki, because I think the model looks better that way - a decision Cunard took in 1983 anyway!
I began this model about 25 years ago but became quickly unhappy about the lack of deckrails, which made the model look odd, especially at this scale. However, my improvised solution took too long to execute and the model got shelved for many years, only to be fished out and completed in 2015. Even so, I remain unhappy about the proportions of the funnel, which is about 3mm too tall, while the white skirt is also too short. Unfortunately, correcting this problem was beyond my capabilities!
Dyno done on a '92 Honda CR 125:
Shown are 38mm carburetors without the governor modification (red) and with governor modification (blue).
The governor-modification not only eliminates the loss in the middle but instead boosts it also compared to stock --> My mod is making for a massive 4 HP gain right when entering the powerband! No more bog, no more clutch work to keep it on the pipe. The dip in the powerband is gone. The typical weakness of HPP engines, right in the middle of the powerband, is gone. By bolting on abigger 38mm carburetor paired with the governor modification you get more mid-power, more top-end and more overrev! Massive gains over the 36mm.
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. I have applied the Citristrip that works great on metal but don't use it on plastic it will eat plastic. The stuff is amazing and takes about 15 to 20 mins to strip a Matchbox.

This shows three pennies. At top left, a modern, steel-cored (yes, sticks to a magnet) two pence piece from 2009. Below that, a bronze 1966 half-penny showing Drake's ship, the Golden Hind on its reverse. On the right, an almost identical 1967 half-penny, that has been peened (beaten out using a ball-peen hammer) to about twice the diameter, annealed, beaten, and annealed again, and finally, a strip cut out with tin snips. This I would shape with files to produce the tapered shape for the rear of the pendant.
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. Until I started restoring these I would not have thought to even touch this. This one is pretty rough when it comes to the bed, it is really a mess and for some reason the factory made the axles really long so I cut them down. This one turns out different than the first restoration. Here it is all apart, the glass was in pretty good shape and cleaned up nice. So now time to strip the paint.
I found this image ad while surfing the net, and could not get enough!
I can't decide if my favorite part is that the back tire looks like it's on sideways, or the fact that this car is a Honda, not a Toyota.

Ignoring the elegant lines of Mariann's model, I made a few tweaks to the design, extending the roof and adding a chimney. I also gave a bigger hat to the snowman, 'cause I'm a rebel like that.

A slight modification of Yotam Ottolenghi's chermoula aubergine with bulgar, made with barley couscous instead of bulgar and pine nuts instead of almonds. Delish.
From first glance I knew I wanted to get this. But the gap on the canopy was unacceptable! The other mods were just my preference. Plus I added a crew.

Week 71 - 'Old Irish Dwelling'

I picked up a Plo for cheap at LEGO's Black Friday sale. Since I don't have him in mini-figure format, I decided to try my hand at removing the keychain.
The only tool I needed: A pair of needlenose pliers/snips. I cut off the top ring, then trimmed the screw down to the top of the torso's neck. There's a small divit on Plo's head where the screw went through it, of course, but you really don't notice it if you're not looking for it.
Some modifications were made to the official design. One was getting rid of the canards to smoothen the nose a little bit, the obvious others are the detailing and fitting of the cockpit with two minifigs, two external tanks on under-wing hardpoints, two Sidewinder and two Amraam Missiles as well as a twin-cannon.
Resembling a turtleneck, this is the result of "popping" the collar with the placket fully buttoned, so that the collar points straight up, hugging the neck.
I put dots of weld metal on the outside edge of the augers of my steel auger snowblowers to break ice. Newer models usually have a serrated edge for that now. Also, although it is difficult to see, I bolted rubber extensions on the impeller blades since I saw the idea on the internet. It is supposed to help older snowblowers. Might help this a little.

Chapter 68B-14.0036, FAC, (Recreational Bag Limits: Snapper, Grouper, Hogfish, Black Sea Bass, Red Porgy, Amberjacks, Tilefish, Exception, Wholesale/Retail Purchase Exemption) would be modified to eliminate language prohibiting captain and crew of for-hire vessels from retaining recreational bag limits of vermilion snapper, groupers, and golden tilefish in state waters of the Atlantic (including Monroe County for golden tilefish and groupers).
Removing this requirement would be beneficial because it would eliminate confusion about what species captain and crew of for-hire vessels can keep for personal consumption and make state rules consistent with federal rules.
If this proposed rule amendment is approved, this decision would be final and the rule will be filed without further hearing.

The 6500-seat theatre with its well-preserved stage building
Theater at Priene;
Built during the Hellenistic period, the theater survived the Roman period with only minor modifications. The theater extends beyond a semicircle, and the 50 rows of seats were capable of holding up to 5,000 people. There are five stone armchairs (image 2) lining the orchestra portion of the theater, which were perhaps reserved for priests and dignitaries
Priene, ancient city of Ionia about 6 miles (10 km) north of the Menderes (Maeander) River and 10 miles (16 km) inland from the Aegean Sea, in southwestern Turkey. Its well-preserved remains are a major source of information about ancient Greek town.
By the 8th century bc Priene was a member of the Ionian League, whose central shrine, the Panionion, lay within the city’s territory. Priene was sacked by Ardys of Lydia in the 7th century bc but regained its prosperity in the 8th. Captured by the generals of the Persian king Cyrus (c. 540), the city took part in several revolts against the Persians (499–494). Priene originally lay along the Maeander River’s mouth, but about 350 bc the citizens built a new city farther inland, on the present site. The new city’s main temple, of Athena Polias, was dedicated by Alexander the Great in 334. The little city grew slowly over the next two centuries and led a quiet existence; it prospered under the Romans and Byzantines but gradually declined, and after passing into Turkish hands in the 13th century ad, it was abandoned. Excavations of the site, which is occupied by the modern town of Samsun Kale, began in the 19th century.
Modern excavations have revealed one of the most beautiful examples of Greek town planning. The city’s remains lie on successive terraces that rise from a plain to a steep hill upon which stands the Temple of Athena Polias. Built by Pythius, probable architect of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, the temple was recognized in ancient times as the classic example of the pure Ionic style. Priene is laid out on a grid plan, with 6 main streets running east-west and 15 streets crossing at right angles, all being evenly spaced. The town was thereby divided into about 80 blocks, or insulae, each averaging 150 by 110 feet (46 by 34 m). About 50 insulae are devoted to private houses; the better-class insulae had four houses apiece, but most were far more subdivided. In the centre of the town stand not only the Temple of Athena but an agora, a stoa, an assembly hall, and a theatre with well-preserved stage buildings. A gymnasium and stadium are in the lowest section. The private houses typically consisted of a rectangular courtyard enclosed by living quarters and storerooms and opening to the south onto the street by way of a small vestibule. planning.

The Sanctuary of Athena Polias at Priene
The Temple of Athena
This Temple, located on the culminating point of the city, rose over a wide terrace of rocks and the defense walls, and was the oldest, the most important, the largest and the must magnificent building in Priene. It was oriented on an east-west axis in conformity with the city plan and faced east.
Map of Priene, the Acropolis, the Temples and the village.
It is believed that the construction of the Temple was begun at the same time as the founding of Priene (4th century BCE). The architect of the building was Pythius, who also constructed the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, counted as one of the seven wonders of the world. The Temple is accepted as being a classical example of the Anatolian-Ionian architectural style.
The building was destroyed completely in an earthquake in ancient times and the pieces were scattered over a large area. It also suffered great destruction in a later fire. However, the construction of the plan and the reconstruction of the building have been possible through the fragments found in the excavations.
Large-grained grey-blue local marble brought from Mycale was used as construction material.
The Temple, constructed in the Ionic style, consists of a pronaos (an entrance-hall), a naos (the sacred chamber where the statue of the cult was kept) and an opisthodomus (a porch at the rear). The pronaos is larger than in earlier examples. There was no opisthodomus in previous Temples; it is first seen here. Pythius has taken this characteristic from the Doric style and applied it to his plan, and has thus set a model for later Temples. The building, a combination of the Ionic and Doric architectural styles, emerges as a different architectural example.
