Modified Fire Brigade from set #10230, applied some features such as;
Opening door, Enhanced depth, Bell in belfry, Detailed facade and roof features, in addition, Two of Fire Engines.
Here's a quick MOC of a SdKfz 9 "Famo". I know it is certainly not the most detailed and most accurate one around, but regarding the time I invested in it and the parts I had at my disposal, I am still satisfied enough to present it to the public.
I got inspired to build such a model after I took a ride in the real thing at this years "Militracks" event in NL.
Basically I started by combining the set 2449 "Opel Blitz" with the Sd.Kfz. 251 from the "Battle of Berlin" magazine (now also re-released as an updated set 2442 "Sd.Kfz. 251 Hanomag").
But it doesn't really matter if you get the old or new version of set 2442, as the "steering" of the updated set wouldn't fit into the fenders of the Opel Blitz anyway.
Speaking of fenders: I wasn't really keen on cutting the Opel Blitz fenders into half, as my previous attempt to cut (smaller) fenders for a Schwimmwagen MOC wasn't really that successful, so (although it might not be as accurate as it could be) I decided to build this model without cutting anything into pieces.
I increased the tread of the rear tracks by 2 studs and also used the slightly bigger tyres from the Katyusha BM-13N (BoB or 2448 re-release) for the front wheels.
After that I modified the front bumper and slanted the radiator grille a bit (attaching 1x3 slopes with the "single stud on demand" to prevent gaps to the rest of the hood).
I used all my remaining brown tiles for the rear truck bed and more brown parts for the seats (for which I plundered a 2188 Schwimmwagen and two 2339 Kübelwagen)
Another Kübelwagen (The grey one from the BoB magazine) had to be scrapped for the truck bed doors with the german cross markings. A bunch of those 2x4 toolbox tiles would be great for the sides of the truck bed, though.
I choosed to keep the Opel Blitz windscreen, although it doesn't really match the one of the real SdKfz 9 Famo, but all other solutions didn't really satisfy me.
The best solution would be to use 2 of the 3x4 windscreens from the Schwimmwagen, but they have a tan frame printed on them, which you would have to rub off first (and as I already mentioned, I'm not so keen on modifying Cobi parts anymore).
Although the original has only one rear view mirror on the front left fender, I choosed to keep both on the left and right of the windscreen, because it just looked too empty at that spot without them (where the body widens by 1 stud on each side with the use of vertically mounted 1x2 slopes).
Btw, big thanks to Pawel for providing me with a spare mirror, because I recently lost one when my Katyusha model crashed on the ground during a photoshoot.
assisted the contractor...what else to do on a stormy rainy day...

In 1934 the British Mk II and Mk III collimators were modified to become the Mk IV collimator by replacing the base with a longer one in order to accept the Bino.Prism No. 5 7X50. A Mk IV collimator from another collection is shown above. It is not known if it was made by H. Hughes & Sons. Note that the Mk IV's "telescope unit" is screwed down at the far left end of the mounting plate for collimation of 7X50 binoculars but that the plate is recessed to allow the unit to be placed in a forward position for collimation of 6X No. 2, 3 and 4 binoculars as explained in the instructions pasted on the lid of the box. Also note that the "Long Binocular Support" which should be used when collimating a No. 5 7X50 binocular is stored in the upper right corner of box while a much shorter support (either a No. 1 or 2) for a smaller binocular is inappropriately installed in the middle of the collimator. A separate device was needed for clamping the binocular to the support which is either hidden from view or missing. If missing, it may have been stored in the compartment at the bottom right of box.
I modified this PN2011 in a few ways:
1. A cable release from an old Kodak folder was affixed to the shutter release. I originally drilled out the button and threaded the hole for a shutter release. The threads didn't hold though. The plastic was too soft. I ended up epoxy-ing the thing on.
2. I took off the lens cover paddle and hollowed it out. I glued a polyester filter in the hole. I chose red for some good contrast in the sky with B&W film. You have to defeat the mechanism that keeps the shutter from firing when the lens cover is closed. Easy as cutting out a piece of plastic with a razor knife.
3. The two paper clips and dental floss control the shutter. The top one resets the shutter for double or more exposures. The bottom one is the bulb setting. I glued a magnet to hold the paper clips and keep them out of the way. Also it gives the dental floss some slack so it does not effect the shutter speed. If you want a longer shutter speed, you can let the paper clip dangle. Not sure how much this adds without some experimentation.
4. I cut a window out of the back for a pinhole redscale mechanism.

Made of dark denim. The lighter contrast trim is just the reverse of the denim folded over to mimic a bias tape look. Took "Charlie Bag" pattern found on BurdaStyle website and modified it into a smaller purse with pockets instead of large reusable grocery bag.
Applied Building Block Dress Book techniques to the Teaparty Playsuit (and Lullaby Layette pants length) to make a zip up, quilted romper.

'Modified Halls' 7920 and 7925 'Coney Hall' and 'Westol Hall' are fresh out of 'A' Shop from what will undoubtedly be their last major overhaul. Even at this late stage, the finish of locos leaving the works was exemplary.

Gli Years & Years, giovane trio dalle sonorità pop, electro e dance proveniente da Londra, dopo aver calcato i palchi dei maggiori festival europei, arrivano, in concerto in Italia per la prima volta. L’appuntamento imperdibile è fissato per il 10 marzo 2016 al Fabrique di Milano.
Il trio riesce a catturare l’attenzione di tutti sin da subito. A gennaio 2015, Katy Perry twitta una loro canzone e li rende istantaneamente famosi sui social network. Da quel momento inizia il regno degli Years & Years che spopolano in tutte le radio del mondo con la loro King. Il singolo viene certificato platino in Italia, registrando più di 105 milioni di visualizzazioni su YouTube e anticipando l’uscita di Communion, album di debutto degli Years & Years.
Il trio vince anche il prestigioso BBC Sound 2015 (vinto lo scorso anno da Sam Smith e negli anni precedenti da Mika, Adele e Ellie Goulding) e viene nominato ai Brit Awards.
La loro musica può essere descritta come un cocktail ben riuscito di elettro-pop e house che ricorda gli anni Novanta. Ritmi scritti per il dancefloor in contrasto con testi malinconici che parlano di storie d’amore finite male. Al tutto si aggiunge uno stile impeccabile ed un linguaggio attuale sui social network. Insomma la miscela perfetta per il successo mondiale.
Olly Alexander (voce e piano), Mikey Goldsworthy (basso) e Emre Turkmen (synths, beats) formano gli Years & Years nel 2010. Da poco trasferitosi dall’Australia, Goldworthy conosce Turkmen online grazie ad annuncio. Dopo poco tempo, Alexander si unisce alla band diventando la voce principale del gruppo.
Be kind to your-self, others and trees... and fly and help others to fly:)
Spasibo to my friend for taking this picture:) I already keep asking people - no more pictures, please, the number of my pictures has exploded recently... ouch... exponential growth. If a picture is nice, i want to share it though.
