I took all the grass cuttings and weeds to the local composting site (luckily, about 30seconds walk from here) and somebody had left a huge pile of mature eucalyptus....guess they're not so great when they grow big.
The Project of Doom was a Harry Potter Block of the Week project that took place on Harry Potter Paper Piecing from January - August 2011. There are 30 patterns in the project and two suggested layouts.
All blocks, layout, etc are designed by Jennifer Ofenstein of Sewhooked.
Patterns for personal and non-profit use only.
I didn't make a damned thing today. I took photos and edited them and got them up on the website.
Also, i feel like I'm cheating. This isn't anything about making a complete collection- this is what i do for a living. I mean, I love what I do for a living, but I'd be doing this regardless of TADA, and I don't really plan to ever show my new jewelry as a "collection", since I don't ever plan to go to a fair again (hah!).
That said, i think I'm gonna keep cheating, if it's ok with you guys. It'll be the equivalent of those nights I wrapped a twist tie around my finger and called it my Ring a Day.

On an evening walk to the end of the pier at Berwick-upon-Tweed we were suddenly treated to a wonderful display of around 30+ dolphins hunting at the mouth of the river.
Having only seen our first wild dolphins earlier in the day at St. Abbs Head (possibly the same pod) getting to see and hear them so close was fantastic.

I like how the orange contrasts with the other colours. Thanks to Erikjeperikje for some ideas that led to the cowling and the electronics between the 2 pods!

For as pretty and interesting as milkweed pods are in the spring and summer, they look pretty awful as they begin to dry out...especially after being drowned in almost an inch of rain.

One of our girls from the preschool gathered a huge basket full of honey locust pods from her yard last fall and brought it to us as a gift...I wanted to honor that gift and use it in our handwork...so we painted them.

Pod Bar at Sketch, London, England
This photo was somehow selected for the Schmap online London guide (which was quite a surprise) and made me feel like it was time to start adding some photos and picking up a camera again for fun rather then simply for vacation memories.
Every now and then I feel a dire urge to tackle one of the Dorvack PA kits from the pile, and towards 2019's end it's time to succumb to the drive once more. This one is a non-canonical, fictional creation, based on a PAM-74, from a re-released (2008) Aoshima twin combo kit. The first one from this set had already been built as a PA-72 a while ago, and since this personal variant without the missile pods and some other cosmetic changes looked very good, I built another one.
Even though the Dorvack PAs are rather simple kits, they need some skill because the parts do not fit THAT well. However, you have to keep in mind that the molds were created in the early 80ies, as a quick merchandising shot for a new "Real Robot" TV series that were all the rage in Japan at that time, even though the series eventually flopped. The designs are also older than Yokoyama Kow's Ma.K./ZbV3000/Maschinenkrieger stuff, which they actually inspired!
This time, however, I wanted to create a rather "normal" version of "my" PA-72, a classic infantry piece as a kind of successor to the bulky PA-36HD, which, in the TV series, seems to be equipment for higher Earth Defence army ranks.
The kit and its assembly:
The idea of the PA-72 series and behind this conversion was a predecessor for the PAM-74 series, of which two authentic models are available. The PAM-74 appears to be an artillery support variant, primarily armed with mini missiles – lots of them! It carries three mini missile launcher arrays on its shoulders that hold a total of 75 rounds, plus more in an optional hand-held twin launcher (resulting in 105 rounds!). The other kit, the PAM-74AM, seems to be an anti-aircraft system, which carries six additional missiles on its back, cramped in between the standard mini missile launchers and additionally armed with a light laser weapon that replaces the right hand.
While the first PA-72 was an anti-aircraft variant, with two missile containers on the shoulders and a radar dish on the back, this one was to become a standard foot soldier variant, operated by a commander or a platoon leader. These frequently carry a kind of radome on their PAs' back, and integrated weapons are also common.
Work on the PAM-74 basis started as usual with the assembly of the major components. Arms and legs were built OOB. The modification of the torso was more thorough. As an initial move I erased the triangular "cheeks" on both sides of the visor, sanding them away. This time I kept the original vertical visor slit, but filled it with a thin piece of styrene sheet to fill the seam that runs through this area and normally is hard to sand even.
Then the original missile launcher boxes had to disappear from the PA's shoulders - they were genrously cut away and the opening covered with styrene sheet. Then a new back section was sculpted from styrene profiles and finally covered under 2C putty. In order to make the PA's shape more interesting I added a leftover fairing from a PA-36 onto the left shoulder, and for the radome I added a matching adapter from a PA-58 kit between the shoulders. Intergarting all these new parts required some serious PSR, but the result is very good, the PA-72 looks very natural and believable.
As personal weapon I gave the PA-72 a standard R2 Hand laser, taken from a PA-36 kit. Adapting it to the slightly smaller PAM-74 arm was difficult, though, and I had to switch the small display from the original left hand to a right hand position. Into the laser nozzle I added a clear lens, and cables connect the new heavy hand weapon with the PA's hull - and authentic detail that is omitted on the Aoshima kits.
Painting and markings:
The paint scheme is pretty simple and was actually inspired by an 1:35 scale resin model of a PAM-74 that I saw many years ago in a Japanese modelling magazine: overall dark blue with a light blue "head" section. I cannot tell whether it's an authentic livery - I haven't seen such a variant in official OAV material that I have seen. But the livery looks plausible enough to adapt it.
The basic overall tone became Revell 350 (Lufthansa Blau, RAL 5013), while the helmet was painted with Humbrol 47. As a unique detail carried over from the resin model in the magazine, I painted the ball joints on the arms and legs in glossy black instead of a silver tone. This creates a more coherent overall look of the armored suit.
As per usual, the kit received a black ink wash for weathering and some dry-brushing for light effects and panel shading. I wanted a noticeably worn look that would add some seriousness to the colorful PA - after all, it is a piece of military equipment, fighting an alien invasion!
In order to add some more contrast to the model and to avoid a too uniform look I added a white "chest box" and white trim to the upper arms, lower legs and the lower back, created with decal stripes. The visor slit was first painted black and finally filled with a piece of blue metallic PET foil. The radome was painted seperately in Humbrol 56 (Aluminum Dope), the "lamp" on top of it was laid out with silver and finally painted over with translucent red paint.
Almost all stencils and markings come from the PAM-74's OOB sheet, but I wanted a white tactical code on this one. The latter had to be improvised: the "17" was created from single white decal strips of varying width. Fiddly, but the result looks very good.
Once the kit was sealed with matt acrylic varnish (the black joints were treated with a semi-glossy varnish) I gave the model a thorough coat with mineralic artist pigments, simulating dust in general and mud crusts around the feet in specific. I even added some grass fibres to the feet, at the large 1:24 scale this does not look out of place.
Basically a quick build, but while the kit itself went together with relatively little problems, the whole thing called for constant attention and corrections. The surgery on the back was easier than expected - the former build of the other PA-72 certainly helped.
The paint job was also not free from trouble, since the Revell enamel paint would not adhere so well to the plastic like other enamels I frequently use. And the glossy Humbrol enamel for the helmet section took ages to dry... Patience helped in both cases. The result looks very convincing and purposeful, though.
Another family member. :D
