The famous Sagrada Família in Barcelona, Spain is a one-of-a-kind temple. Five generations now have watched the Temple progress in Barcelona. Today, more than 140 years after the laying of the cornerstone, construction continues on the Basilica. Five of the six central towers have been completed. The completion of the central tower of Jesus Christ spire in 2026 will make Sagrada Família the tallest church building in the world.

still in progress....working in the last part of the painting....colours around some of the "flowers"....
Made a little progress on my Gloria living room repaint. I filled gaps with white glue, let it dry (took 2 applications = 2 days), spray painted it, and applied 2 coats of dark gray chalk paint to the upholstery area. Still more to do, but at least I got a little crafting in the past few days. Plan to lighten up the upholstery with a thin application of chalk paint (winter white? Light gray?) and shabby up the other part with something. Creme wax tinted white? Tinted gray? Brown wax? Don't know, yet.
This image is from series about colors. The main point of this series is that a person sees the world through the prism of his views and preferences, his favourite color in this case, and one notices at first the things that are closer to his predictions. I decided to use flowers because the series is about women only, I suppose men act a little differently and pay less attention to colors, so only women in this project. This is work in progress so maybe the final version of it will differ
The Human is working her way through the exams. I made progress. I got to nap on them today and negotiated my butt off them for half a pouch of catnip treats.
For the few folks that have asked about progress on the model railway, here's a little movie that frankly flatters to deceive regards how much has really been done over the last year.
Progress has indeed been slow but things are at least moving along. The initial first few weeks were absorbed by building a 2.5 x 1.0 metre table on which the layout sits. A couple of mirror-image baseboards were added with rounded corners - a reasonable radius at the back to allow for a backdrop to be wrapped around the corner, and a smaller one at the front to avoid nasty scratches on the torso - partly for myself, but also because grandkids would be mooching around occasionally.
All the track is now laid and wired, and the main running area has been ballasted and painted / toned. The base layer around the Shed area has been painted and at some point I'll likely fill that with a mixture of ballast and coal powder. Four sections of retaining wall have been built, and I've used low-relief Bachmann Scenecraft terrace houses at the back. I'm also in the process of building a factory from a Scale Model Scenery laser-cut kit. A North Light style shed has been built using a 3 to 2 road modified resin kit from TownStreet Models - it needed a bit of filing / fitting here and there but the result is just superb. A coaling stage has also been built from a laser-cut kit.
The two platforms were both cut from solid pieces of pine using a template crafted from sellotaped computer paper which was then marked up and cut using an electric jigsaw. 1mm card was laid on top of that and painted grey with a white edge. The edges of the platform were covered in brick-paper. A barrow-crossing was also made from 1mm card, scored for 6" planks and painted. Decorating the platform with people, fences, and all the other accoutrements is yet to be done, but there are station buildings out of sight on both platforms.
There's no greenery or 'fine finishing' on the layout yet - that, and the roadway down to the cattle dock are future projects. I have a sunken turntable kit yet to be built, but the plastic well has been installed, painted oily black at the base and lined with brick paper. Completion is another project for the future, and will require me reacquainting myself with soldering skills!
The three units of traction currently gracing the layout are a Johnson 3F 0-6-0 tender (43615), a Fairburn 2-6-4Tank (42140), and a 2-car Met Camm DMU - all supplied by Grimy Times Model Railways in Warrington. Around 90% of the rolling stock is secondhand, with wagons etc often sourced from eBay. I'm waiting on the pre-ordered Sutton Locomotive Works class 24/1 which, hopefully, will arrive in the next few months. The line is very much Midland Railway, and the likely station name is Edenbridge depicting somewhere perhaps near Carlisle - however, the jury is still out on that one.
I'm no expert on video files, so hopefully it will download easily enough for viewing. All a bit of a learning experience - so not much different to the model railway then.

The eastbound Rocky Mountaineer with borrowed UP power approaches Blue Mountain Road. In the background you can see the progress on the new housing development. Do I think it's terrible that the signature shots near Tunnel 1 will be forever changed? Yes. Would I buy one of those trackside properties if I won the lotto? Also yes.

This is the current state of a jigsaw puzzle we have been working on for a long time. Probably the most difficult one we have ever tried to do.
66796 "The green progressor" heads the 4Y19 Mountfield to Southampton Western docks through Basingstoke.
I'm lamenting the frenzied activity of 2022 where this service would produce a 69 for haulage and the desire to get a decent shot of every loco as it worked this service....hopefully later in the year when they are fully back in service I can resume.

The men are having a hard time trying to break through the zombie lines following the water pipes that needs to be repaired.
So ive been asked many times why im not making clothes or skins... and i wanted to but im a lazy person lol! :p everything takes ages before im done and happy with it... so far i started working on a skin for forever now and im this far with it...
I told a couple friends already and some of my close friends probebly get anoyed seeing me standing naked all day lol but yea... this is whats keeping me busy too
In order to check that the two boards and all the associated wiring would stand up to being parted, moved around and rejoined, I relocated the layout. During the disassembly, some careful tidying of the mass of sub-baseboard wiring was undertaken.
The layout was reassembled and thankfully, all was well. The new location enabled a longer view to be taken, and it's shown here compared with a similar shot when the baseboards had just been built.
This is a typical example / of a temporary sculpture. // That is / if you believe me. // If you don't, / then you're looking at a blank / image.
I have most of the accessories for the 1/24th DIY tea room kit done. It's been a challenge! I'm struggling with the bakery counter now : ) With a few exceptions, all of this has to be assembled.
Earlier this week, I headed to London to meet with a surgeon who will be undertaking my GRS.
She confirmed that she is happy to operate on me and that the surgery will be in March / April 2022. Yes, NEXT YEAR!!
This is BIG!
If I'm honest, I'm petrified about the surgery and not looking forward to it, nor the recovery, but I realise I have to go through with it to get the results I want.
Let the countdown commence...
