I've had these guys in storage for a while, I just remembered to share the modifications I made to these guys. Some have minor changes, some a bit more, and has no modifications at all (it's just included for Protector completeness, guess the unmodified one :-) )

I don't really know if this is a Model A or a Model B.
KSJ 639 displayed at the London Cruise Terminal Open Day 2022 at Tilbury, Essex.
A quick complete re-design / rebuild of my Ideas set done in one afternoon and night.
Now incorportates working steering again.
Reduced total height of front by 1 plate, having to remove all the forward technic chassis to allow for this. Initially reduced all height by 2 plates, but looking at reference and plans again, as this is now 1 stud longer than my original, 1 plate lower seemed to be proportionate.
Adjusted ride height of front axle / steering.
Closed rear arches together as per original design.
Shaped and strengthend nose cone.
Corrected bonnet vents and side vents.
Closed gap between bonnet and nose cone.
Re-worked headlight assemblies
Re-worked seats to stop being all black cockpit, added harnesses.
Repositioned / strengthend dash - windshield, altered handbrake to not be so chunky, reduced size of mirrors to be more proportionate.
Strengthend internal floor, removed all floor studs, filed gaps.
Re-worked rear tonneau cover slightly, removing the offset steps under it, smoothed out the rollbar supports. (Will re-work this so they attach to the body, allowing them to stay in place when tonneau removed...when I get more time!)
Added decals!!!..ya know I love em! ;)
See if you can spot anything else that I've forgotten!
I must add, that I absolutely love the standard set considering the limitations that TLG have to work to and this in no way is trying to address what the model should have been....its just not possible within their constraints.
I, however, am able to take it back and put my mark on it, to get it closer to my original designs.
I've tried to keep it more in line with the standard set, rather than just completely re-building it to one of my original concept designs with a yellow colour change....if that makes any sense?
I had to do it first!....not that I've had much time recently ;)
See this, along with the standard set and real Caterham Seven 620R at the Brickish STEAM museum show www.greatwesternbrickshow.com/ THIS coming weekend (1st -2nd Oct)
The set goes live for sale this weekend and I'll be doing box signings throughout, if you should so happen to want one....or not! ;)
The piece on the left is the excellent Compass locking decaleur with the loop cut off and the back profile rounded.
The decaleur in the middle is an old Grand Bois model.
I added the smaller diameter horizontal rod for a Lezyne Velcro strap to go under to lock the bag in place. It looks "factory" and together with the strap works very well.
The decaleur on the right is a custom shop made piece I made a few years ago. It has the horizontal piece that allows the strap style lock method.
AKA: "Sniper".
This Strider is a cross between Soren's initial idea, my new Quad design and the legs from this AYates frame.

Instead of the standard Black, I decided on a Dark Blue boiler and tender.
This was my first time designing decals in PrintShop, then transferring into Cricut software to cut the silver vinyl for the stripes and tender accent.
This is a modified build from instructions found on Rebrickable.
Wheels from BigBensBricks including XXL wheels with groove and traction ring, which work great.
Rods from Bricks-on-Rails

The T-90TK is an export variant of the Russian T-90 built for the Tarkhazian Land Forces. It features many of the modern systems of the original, with some capabilites limited or removed. having entered Tarkhazian Service in 2010, It has proven a cost-effective and highly reliable weapon in internal conflicts.
Although she looks great in almost any color, Leslie Anne's special color is blue. My girlfriend modified her newest blue dress with some black lace along the lower hem creating sort of a petticoat effect. She has done this with several of her dresses this year.
shushu...or is she!
I wish her eyes could be like this in real life... been contemplating trying to modify her and I've even bought the epoxy putty!
here's the original pic to show what I mean about the eyes! i5.photobucket.com/albums/y187/Icchaeyo/ch-realeyes.jpg
This is showing the modified pauldron that can fit well with jetpack together. But you have do it yourself.
I got the set in a bulk lot late last year. It's quite a nice build but was way too skinny in some areas, so I bulked it up a bit and took off the rider seat and ball launcher.
Amtrak 90225, a former F40, turned into a non-powered control unit, was further modified for the ABC Good Morning America live broadcast from the rails. The roof was modified to include two fiberglass domes that housed the network's sattelite uplink gear. Soon after the broadcast, the unit would be brought back to its usual configuration and return to regular service.
Photographed at the Amtrak Rensselaer shops in New York, with permission of course. Huge thanks to good friend Bob LaMay for the opportunity to join him at the shops for this.

A trolley accumulator was designed to contain a series of batteries that provided an external, ground-based source of electric power (with a variety of voltages available) for an aircraft. It was typically used to start-up aircraft whose internal batteries were at best only marginally capable of the job.
Seen in the RAF Museum at Hendon, this particular hand-pulled example from the 1940s has been modified with a small petrol engine fitted on top to provide power for recharging the batteries.
I find it interesting that the RAF doesn't seem to have been able to find a set of matching tyres for this exhibit...
Actually, this Minolta A3 body was clean, but the lens was fogged up and in a pretty bad state. Of course, I tried to clean the lens and reduce the fog even a little, but it didn't get very clean. I thought that if it was backlit, the results would be terrible. This is the result in backlight.
"Göreme (Ancient Greek: Κόραμα, Kòrama), located among the "fairy chimney" rock formations, is a town in Cappadocia, a historical region of Turkey. It is in the Nevşehir Province in Central Anatolia and has a population of around 2,000 people. Former names of the town have been Korama, Matiana, Maccan or Machan, and Avcilar. When Göreme Valley nearby was designated an important tourist destination, a "center" for all tourism in Cappadocia, the name of the town was changed to Göreme for practical reasons. Among Göreme's historically important sites are Ortahane, Durmus Kadir, Yusuf Koc and Bezirhane churches, in addition to the richly decorated Tokali Kilise, the Apple Church, and a number of homes and pigeon houses carved straight into the rock formations in the town."
