Alright, here is my second mod. I did not make this yesterday/today if that's what you're wondering. I actually created 3 mods together and finished them all roughly the same time. This was just one of the smaller modifications. It includes a red-dot, and an extra magazine. Not comparable to my RPK, i'd say.
I've really started to like modding, and i think that I will do a lot more of it. The only thing I don't like is cutting up my brickarms. :3 I need to buy extras! I actually have two more mods that I'll show the next two days.
The weapon was not inspired by anyone specifically, but those added have inspired me to mod in general. I love their modding, and I think that at some time, I may be able to mod as good as them!
On a totally different note, Bricks Cascade is in 8 days! :D Can't wait to see a lot of you guys there!
Feedback on all of my mods are appreciated more than you could imagine. I actually use the feedback on my future mods. Thanks again fellas!

This old barn had attached timber corrals and stalls. It appears as though the timber rails were removed with a saw of some sort leaving the remnants of the timber rails behind.
You will need:
- BA RPG: front and rear grips
- BA MG42: main body and barrel
- 2x BA Dadao: triangular fairings on the side of the barrel
- BA Spy Carbine: ventral greebles
- TLC #2569 Whip Antenna: for pinning the front and rear grips to the main body
- TLC #6246b Minifig Hammer: IR scanner
For tools, you'll need the usual: hobby clippers, hobby knife, pin vise, razor saw, CA glue. The razor saw is optional but will make cleaner cuts for some of the modifications.
In lieu of the Lego whip antenna you can use a PSR barrel to attach the foregrip, but it is a more expensive solution. You can also pin the rear grip using paper clip instead of the antenna/barrel solution. Using the whip antenna will require only a 5/64" drill bit for both attachments.
Cut as shown. The middle part of the RPG (with the grip still attached) becomes the foregrip of the M56. The end segment of the RPG will be the rear grip. You can also use the handle of the Lego hammer as the rear grip, which will look a little nicer and come with its own built-in pin, but you'll have to figure out the diameter of the hole to drill. You'll need holes in one end of the rear grip and the bottom stub of the foregrip as shown by the green lines.
Once you've cut the Dadaos as shown, it's really a matter of filing and sanding the edges until you're satisfied. You can also try to hollow out the triangular holes they're supposed to have, but it's a lot of risky work.
Cut off the grip, stock, and front sight post on the MG42. File the sides of the receiver a little smooth so that the Dadao fairings will lie flat against the sides of the barrel where they should. Drill two holes in the MG42 for the whip antenna segments or your alternative choice of pinning solutions--one vertically all the way through the part of the barrel just in front of where it meets the receiver, and one in the back where the stock used to be.
Get rid of the scope and grip on the Spy Carbine and smooth the bottom until it'll lay flat against the bottom of the MG42's receiver where its grip used to be.
Glue the rear grip into place where the stock of the MG42 used to be. Glue the antenna or PSR barrel segment into the bottom of the foregrip, and insert the pin into the hole you drilled through the top of the MG42 without gluing it--you'll need to be able to swivel this a little bit in order to adjust the fig's grip on the weapon.
Glue the head of the hammer to the top of the barrel in between the triangular fairings, just in front of the foregrip.
Aaaaand you're done. I know, I make it sound easier than you think it is, but really it's a pretty straightforward mod--the only significant amount of actual shaping you need to do is on the Dadao blades to turn them into the side fairings.
Work in progress:
..aaand finally - we get a completely different, unique face. One the left is the initial face mold 'Taiga' without modifications, on the right is the modified porcelain face. I've changed the form of: eyes, eyebrow ridges, nose, lips, cheeks and cheekbones, chin. Actually, there isn't a part here that I haven't changed.
Рабочий процесс:
..иии, наконец - получаем совершенно другое, уникальное лицо. Слева - изначальная модель лица "Тайга" без модификаций, справа - фарфоровое лицо с модификациями. Я изменила форму: глаз, надбровных дуг, носа, губ, щёк и скул, подбородка. Фактически, здесь нет ни одной части лица, которую бы я не изменила.
The Military Collection - Bombers
From a collection of some 430 Military slides that I've had scanned from my archives. Hope they will provide some enjoyment and nostalgia from a bygone age.
Seen in the days of the Cold War, Avro Vulcan B.2 XL443 looking quite sinister under the lowering cloud at the Greenham Common Air Tattoo in 1980. The aircraft operated with No. 35 Squadron based at RAF Scampton and was one of the flying aircraft that day.
The Vulcan Bomber
The Avro Vulcan was a delta-winged, high-altitude, strategic bomber, which was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1956 until 1984. A total of 136 aircraft were built, including eight prototypes, and the production aircraft were delivered in four separate batches as follows:
First batch: XA889 - XA913 25 Vulcan B.1 & B.1As delivered between 1955 - 1957
Second batch: XH475-483, XH497-506, XH532-539, XH554-563 37 Vulcan B.1A & B.2s delivered between 1958 - 1960
Third batch: XL317-321, XL359-361, XL384-392, XL425-427, XL443-446 24 Vulcan B.2s delivered between 1960 - 1962
Fourth batch: XM569-576, XM594-612, XM645-657 40 Vulcan B.2s delivered between 1963 - 1965
Total production order - 128
The Vulcan B.1 was first delivered to the RAF in 1956, and deliveries of the improved Vulcan B.2 started in 1960. The B.2 featured more powerful engines, a larger wing, an improved electrical system, and electronic countermeasures, and many were modified to accept the Blue Steel missile.
As a part of the V-force, and one of the most distinctive military aircraft ever to take to the skies, the mighty Avro Vulcan was the backbone of the United Kingdom's airborne nuclear deterrent during much of the Cold War. Although the Vulcan was typically armed with nuclear weapons, it could also carry out conventional bombing missions, which it did in Operation Black Buck during the Falklands War between the United Kingdom and Argentina in 1982. See: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-61283828
Vulcan B.2 XL317, the first of a production batch ordered in 1960, was the first Vulcan, apart from development aircraft, to be capable of carrying the Blue Steel stand-off missile. Thirty-three aircraft were delivered to the RAF with these modifications.
Operating at higher altitudes, the first Vulcan's in RAF service were finished in an overall white anti-flash scheme, intended to protect the aircraft in the seconds following detonation of a nuclear device, however, advances in Soviet anti-aircraft missile defences brought about a significant change in the aircraft's attack profile.
Moving from high to low altitude strike operations during the early to mid 1960s, Vulcans retained their white undersides, but were given a striking grey and green camouflage on their upper surfaces, markings which really suited the huge delta shape of this magnificent aircraft. Although moving to low-level bombing operations, retention of the white anti-flash undersides clearly illustrates the Vulcan's continued role as a nuclear armed strategic bomber.
After retirement by the RAF, one example, B.2 XH558, named The Spirit of Great Britain, was restored for use in display flights and air shows, whilst two other B.2s, XL426 and XM655, have been kept in taxiable condition for ground runs and demonstrations. B.2 XH558 flew for the last time in October 2015, but has been kept in taxiable condition.
RAF Waddington
During the Cold War, RAF Waddington became an Avro Vulcan V-bomber station, with No. 83 Squadron being the first in the RAF to receive the Vulcan in May 1957. The other Squadrons to fly the Vulcan from Waddington were Nos. 9, 44, 50 and 101 Squadrons. From 1968, the UK nuclear deterrent was transferred to Polaris submarines, beginning with HMS Resolution. The station continued in this role until 1984 when the last Vulcan squadron, No. 50 Squadron, disbanded. It continued to be the home for the last flying Vulcan (XH558) of the Vulcan Display Flight until its disbandment in 1992.
RAF Scampton
In October 1960, No. 83 Squadron arrived at Scampton from RAF Waddington and equipped with the Vulcan B.2. Together with No. 27, No. 35 and No. 617 Squadrons, who by this time had also taken delivery of the Vulcan, the "Scampton Wing" was formed, the aircraft being equipped with the Blue Steel stand-off missile.
On 30 June 1968, Blue Steel operations at Scampton were terminated, as the Royal Navy, with the submarine launched Polaris missile, assumed responsibility for the UK nuclear deterrent. Scampton squadrons were assigned to the tactical nuclear and conventional bombing roles. This led to the disbandment of No. 83 Squadron in August 1969, however in December 1969 No. 230 Operational Conversion Unit moved to RAF Scampton from RAF Finningley.
With disbandment of No. 230 Operational Conversion Unit and the cessation of No. 617 Squadron's Vulcan operations in 1981, followed by the cessation of Vulcan flying at Scampton by No. 27 Squadron and No. 35 Squadron in 1982, Scampton was transferred to RAF Support Command and became home to the Central Flying School (CFS) in 1983.

288 has made it out of Rio and is coming up on Doylestown. I intercept him at Long Crossing Road, where a Milwaukee Road-era WRRS crossing setup still remains.
Both the lead engine and the crossing set up are very old, but have upgrades to make them useable. 6306 is an SD60-3, rather than an SD60, so it has newer software and electrical equipment. The old WRRS setup still retains the original gate mast and base, however a WCH E-Bell and LED lights are in place of the mechanical bell and incandescent lights that once ruled the Milwaukee.
This was more of an exercise rather than an updated version because I still prefer the old one. It's not obvious, but there are some significant changes for this version, among them:
-larger head (perhaps to large?)
-longer tail
-longer arms (yes!)
-obviously a spiky sail achieved by adding two more pleats
-and the biggest difference is this one uses a 10 x 10 grid rather than a 9 x 9 one!

Class 141 DMU unit number 141012 was built in 1984, to the design developed by British Rail Engineering in conjunction with Leyland Bus comprising of DMS 55513 and DMSL 55533. The unit is seen inside the EDU workshop at the RTC Derby on the 12th July 1987 undergoing modification work.
The modification work was part of experimental upgrade for the Class 141s which involved changing the original Leyland TL11 engines for Cummins L10 engines and the fitting Voith T211r hydraulic transmission systems.
Following these modifications, the unit was renumbered as 141113; it was withdrawn from service in 1998 and after a period in store at Doncaster survived into preservation with Llangollen Railcars.
These are my three latest mods before the modding began. Total break-down.
The RPK was the hardest one, seeing as I drilled a few pieces (stock, handle), although it was a great adventure. :P
Oh, and that M4-type mod's red dot is not backwards. I took it straight off of a vector, hince it's whatever side it was before. Don't hate.
Thanks for viewing and all of the positive feedback! My last currently done mod will be up shortly.
Minor modifications to the head as you can see.

More photos for Ravelry. I will be updating the pattern and adding these modifications within the next few days. Everyone who has already purchased the pattern will receive the updates.
Nope, I'm not tearing down my Volvo NL12 unit. I did cut the chassis some time ago but just to give it another look. The chassis was still raised with Technic beam and I want to get rid of the Technic look of it. The axles will be renewed as well and will be much better detailed. No, this model is still a stayer. Have no reason to say goodbye to it yet!
The Renfro Boarding House (also known as the Renfro House) is historically recognized as the oldest building in Dunnellon, Florida.
The structure incorporates several distinctive regional design elements: An "L"-shaped floor plan. A traditional wood frame assembly. Decorative scalloped rafter tails along the roofline.
Originally built at the intersection of Illinois Street and West Pennsylvania Avenue to shelter railroad workers, the building was later moved further west along Pennsylvania Avenue in 1903.
The house was built next to the newly laid train tracks in 1888 by James Renfro, it served as a vital hub for the railroad workers, cattle drivers, and laborers who flooded the area during Florida's massive hard-rock phosphate mining boom. It is considered one of the most significant architectural landmarks within the Dunnellon Boomtown Historic District.
Location and Status
The building stands on the northwest corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and Williams Street (U.S. 41).
Historic Designation: It is registered as a contributing historic property on the National Register of Historic Places.
Structural Alterations: Over the decades, the building underwent several modifications, including the addition of asbestos siding, new window insertions, and the closing off of its upper front porch.
Historical Highlights
The Pioneer Anchor: James Renfro built the establishment right alongside the Silver Springs, Ocala & Gulf Railroad line. Shortly after its opening, the local area post office relocated into the town, and Renfro became Dunnellon's very first postmaster.
The "Duke's" Connection: Renfro sold a 10-acre parcel of nearby land on the Withlacoochee River to a Confederate veteran named Albertus Vogt. In 1889, Vogt discovered ultra-pure hard rock phosphate on that property, triggering the historic "Boomtown" rush that permanently put Dunnellon on the map.
The Tourism Era: In 1900, the boarding house was purchased by the Lyman Lee family. Under their management, it became a legendary rest stop for travelers and cattle drivers, earning statewide fame for serving "the best biscuits in Florida".

Well he is kinda finished. I see a lot of things I could've done better. But I will alter him when I have time again.
I will sand his eyes a tad better for example. They are a tad bit grainy now. So it needs to be smoother.
But in the end I am happy with the result. He is the little snarling guy I wanted him to be, haha.
Fun project ^^
Some modification have been done. The Wheels are not "original", but seem to be appropriate to the character of this car & of course add to the mono-color black theme.
The quad tip / dual exhaust is also not original, but appears to be the same, or similar, to the exhaust used on the "M" version of this car.
Finally, the red graphics striping along the rocker panel has been added.

The artist Nara has created an oeuvre of paintings of cute isolated marginalized kids (this is just my interpretation).
His exhibitions also contain intimate drawing spaces that one can visit, these little studios are a part of his drawing process (along with punk music and beer).
This proposed design for a few camera unifies all these with a drawing in the style of an Aldo Rossi structure in Castellanza.
I've made modifications for both use as a portable laptop desk (or its modern counterpart, the drawing studio) and as a view camera to take portraits of young adults. Two arcades of row houses, probably a Rossi typology, are actually alternating mini refrigerator units for beer bottles and stereo loudspeakers. The camera splits open and fans out to become a tiny drawing studio whose interior is the design of an opera house (my departure from Rossi's original design). The actual drawing table is the opera orchestra's pit, concealing a collection of colored pencils and crayons, Nara's tools of choice for drawing.
When in use as a camera, the floor opens and a lens box is installed from underneath. This lens camera enclosure contains a Lumix Micro 4/3 and a Petzval portrait lens.
The viewfinder concept is in two parts: the dollhouse window used in the drawing studio is the main viewfinder. When the subject is composed the lens box is now installed (in the manner of inserting a film holder into a traditional view camera) to take the photo. Note that an interesting innovation of this viewfinder is that the backdoor entrance to the studio is kept closed all the time and the photographer as a voyeur peers through the back door window at the digital camera's LCD which he controls by a remote. This recalls the experience of a Nara gallery exhibition. An external audio port on the side of the camera brings in music from any mobile device.

Deconstruction of the Basilica probably began around 1235, nineteen years after the death of St. Anthony. It was completed in 1301 although several structural modifications (including the falling of the ambulatory and the construction of a new choir screen) took place between the end of the 14th and the mid 15th century.

This is a modification I've done to the amazing Unique Grasses plugin by Tamu75. I love that plugin but I've always wanted a grass mod with better FPS, and as beautiful as Tamu's version of grass is, I felt it was lacking in just adding basic grasses to the mix, so I've incorporated unbelievable grass into this plugin, as well as some SFO plants, especially in the marsh region. I've also used the very simple GoS tweak of adding tons of grasses into the game: these pictures are shot with imingrasssize=60, and this isn't even all the grasses I've incorporated, since I realized I only had 8 textures when there are 15. More to come soon.
