Former Buchan Link Panther 54066 has returned to Buchan perhaps as cover for the impending program of works to modify the Interdecks to make them more friendly to less mobile passengers. The first interdeck, 54256 has now come off service with Buchan presumably for modification work.
Sister 54244 is seen here alongside First Enviro500 38223 which gives an idea of how high the seating is compared to the upperdeck of the decker.
One of the Buchan Express deckers recently worked the X17 and a passenger was told they would have to get off and catch the next bus because they were struggling to get up the stairs after the seats behind the driver were occupied.
The cargo landing pad is one of the few areas of the Rotterdam that saw modifications after its commissioning. The original station incorporated one pad that was suitable for sub-light freighters, but could only accommodate one heavy freighter at a time. This oversight became apparent within the first few months of operation as queues of waiting freighters would form, and once the second station (the ISS Busan) was operational, the Rotterdam cargo pads were hastily shut and extended outwards to expand freighter capacity. The Busan followed suit, while the remaining two stations were modified in the build stage with better-integrated cargo docks.
I wasn't sure how to incorporate cargo facilities into this. Since the rest of the ship was nice and symmetrical and has elements of form and function, for the cargo pad I went for a more brutal approach - function first, form can come later (or not at all in this case). For something like freight, I feel like that's what the designers would think anyway! To give an idea of the perceived scale of this, The orange freight hoppers are intended to be nano-size versions of my previous MOC.
Frustrated by the expensive and dangerous snow-travel machines produced by Llwyngwril Space Systems, spacemen started to improvise their own vehicles. They took the chassis from an 886 Space Buggy, spare manoeuvring thrusters from an LL918 Spaceship and attached them to a roughly welded frame. The resulting 886 Sledge Modification proved to be a cheap and popular form of transport, whilst the moon was covered in snow. It was safer than some of the other vehicles, as its thrusters could be used as brakes. Unfortunately steering was hampered by the law requiring all 886 drivers to hold a "definitely not a gun thing" in one hand, whilst piloting their vehicles.
A Sydney Trains Millennium set (M14/M12) arrives at Sydenham Railway Station . In the background the new northern concourse, currently under construction This new piece of infrastructure is being built as part of modifications, a part of Metro South West which will see conversion of the Bankstown Line to Metro standards.
Another modification (my first was this one www.flickr.com/photos/8107354@N03/16095108446/in/album-72...) of a City model, the 60112, this model is 6 studs wide. Fire trucks are cool but I wanted something more dangerous ;) so I end up with that one based on the 50"s to 70's military vehicles.
taken on the 21 dec 2012 in wiltshire uk...... Im not sure what these lines in the sky are but as you can see from the pictures they seemed to be pulling the spray left by the aircraft across the sky. As much as i dont like to believe it, i think weather modification is real and poses a great threat to all of us and life on earth in general as we all have to breathe the same air !.. The reason i post these pictures is to try and raise awareness as i feel that the more people that know about this, the more chance there is of putting an end to this complete madness !!! For those of you who have not heard of this before please research geo engineering, chemtrails, solar radiation management... Anyway thanks for looking at my pictures and thanks to all you guys who continue to post great pictures here on flickr.....
So, here's another modification of the Green Grocer (#10185).
Actually the plan was to dismantle the Green Grocer to make some space for other MOCs, but instead I ended up rebuilding it for the second time.
Now I really like it, I guess.
Added another floor, rebuilt the roof and stairs again and added some more furnishings.

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 ^^
This is the rig I set up in 2007 for photographing ants with my new Nikon D40.. This "kludge" rig worked well and has been replaced by a slightly more refined unit. The pop-up flash provides all the light necessary to shoot at ISO 100 to 400 at apertures down to f/32. The primary lens shown is a Nikon 18-55mm "kit" lens with a "Scopetronix" 40mm close-up lens mounted on the front. The small mirror is for providing a "sunlight with hard-edged shadows" effect when shooting in full shade. The 18-55 lens is shown incorrectly set at 35mm. All my shooting with this lens is with the zoom set at 55mm. Focusing is done manually by moving the camera forward and backwards. No tripod is used, but I do sometimes steady myself with a stick. White cards work OK as reflectors, but covering them with foil, dull side out, gets you one more stop in speed. I now use foil covered cards measuring 4x5 inches for most subjects. A larger pair (5x8 inches) is used when a subject is around 18 inches from the camera, or if I want slightly more softer edged shadows.

This is the lens I use for all my macro photography. It's a cheap Canon 35-80mm USM with the front element removed and this works with all versions of the 35-80mm.
There's a blog post on my website explaining how to do the mod to get a 1.7x macro chrismdale.co.uk/blog/?p=46
You can see all the photos I've taken with it here:

Here is my group for photos taken with modified 35-80mm Canons which show some great photos other people have achieved with the same lens!
A quick trip to Argos meant pinching a space in the car corners of Tesco car park. As is my little rule, I toured the car park in search of cars, which lead me to this corner, which featured a fair few snap-worthy cars.
This is a two door version of the Ford Cortina, of which I had no idea existed. According to HML this is one of four Cortina 1600 Base Auto's left. Whether or not that the others are 2 doors I don't know. HML couldn't tell me that. Also worth noting that the 2.0 Base Auto is apparently extinct.
Looked in great condition, the older couple (in their 60's?) definitely noticed me eyeing it up as I returned to my car after snapping something else. From what I could gather, the wife noticed me eyeing up this car, then must've told her husband. Either way, they looked quite pleased that I was enjoying such a sight.
I had no idea there was a 2 door variation of the Cortina, so I was really chuffed to find this one! Almost rust free, it looked well taken care of. I'm guessing those wheels didn't come out the factory black? That and a third brake light were the only modifications I could see. They were not the first owners however, but the 4th.
le logement du sténopé n'est pas assez large par rapport à sa profondeur..... alors que le format 6x12cm du film peut être couvert sans problème !
the location of the pinhole is too narrow compared with its depth... whereas the 6x12cm film frame could be easily covered !

Time and plant life (and gravity) have made some changes here and there to the original building.

So by now I have pretty much build the ship from the 3in1 Creator set 31109. Do I like it?
I love it! I think it is a fantastic ship.
I love the 'busy' look from the tiles with studs on the side, the colour scheme and its basic shape.
In real life the brick build sails look waaay better then I expected, and they allowed me to make a few different sets of sails for different occasions.
And with that last remark I drift into what I always tend to do; even with great designed sets, I want to change some things. So this and the following pics are about the small modifications I made to this ship.
Here is the very simple and by no means perfect solution I had for the originally open deck. This simply drops into the open space, the front and back row resting on studs of the original ship. It would be better on tiles, but just resting this deck on studs works great too,
I don't know where I saw this capstan, but it is a very good design I think. It is a nice knob to lift the deck. And also it gives my sailors something to do...
Journal of Doctor S. Finnigan – Leading doctor of Project B27
Entry 104
After three months of the modification project, we are finally starting the last phase. The subject’s immune system is no longer fighting the medication and his muscles have been dissolved from the bones. According to Professor Rosenfeld’s calculations, they will easily reattach to the carbon skeleton after the procedure. Our head engineer Mr. Gordon and his team finished the prototype ten days ago and produced the first usable version. We are now making the final calibrations. The subject has been sedated and the observation team has arrived. The insertion procedure will start at 3pm, after the gouvernment‘s permission is given.

This is something I wanted to upload for years now ! In 2011, n7mereel, Mr. Grievous and me built this, but never came around to uploading it for several reasons. Now I finally found the photos on my PC, reedited them and we decided to uploade them.
I still like it very much, even though it is a bit old.
Hope you agree !
Giving the rear wheel wells a plate more of clearance. While I'm at it, I'll rework the steering. Which might create a new problem: while the front half of the body is very sturdy, it connects to the chassis with only six studs. Altering the steering might reduce that number to four.
Should I sacrifice the opening doors for more structural strength?
RFA PROTEUS
makes an impressive sight as she departs HM Naval Base, Portsmouth as the winter sun makes an appearance.
RFA Proteus is a ship of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary within His Majesty's Naval Service of the
United Kingdom. Its roles being a platform for Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicles (ROUVs) and a testbed for new specialist capabilities, required for monitoring waters important to UK interests. Acquired in 2023, the ship entered drydock at Cammell Laird for modification into a Multi-Role Ocean Surveillance Ship (MROSS). She formally entered service in October 2023.
