Initial work on a LCC fire station. The roof and other chimneys will make for a complex construction so it's easier to build the main part of the structure before getting to grips with the more tricky stuff.
The model is based upon the Edwardian station at Millwall, Isle of Dogs (now closed) although I have doubled the number of bays.
Doesn't look like a lot, but today's livestream yielded some good progress. In 5 hours or so, I rebuilt the front end a few times to get the winch installed and working, reinforced the transfer case, and got the majority of the bumper assembled. Going to be livestreaming again tomorrow, goal for tomorrow is to finish the front bumper, rough in the rear tire carrier, and start work on the roll cage that the rest of the body will attach to!
Doesn't look like progress u say? LOL The floor has been sanded! When we took the carpet out the floor seemed to have a black stain which sanded off much easier than the floor in the green room. The floor in front of the closet had paint and other stuff on it that was harder to sand off. A quick shot of part of the stairway shows paint on the stairs that I will be removing. We hired someone to drywall around the windows on the stairway landing. I vote that we get scaffolding when it is time to paint that 18 ft high window.
John promises a great big beautiful tomorrow. This show is one of the longest running stage shows in American History. It's a classic in our household.
My Sketchbook Project 2012 theme is Sandwiches. I am going to draw sandwiches from my primary school days (1970's Australia) . There are going to be some "interesting "combinations to draw.
Milo sandwich !! Honestly, my mother never packed or made these, but my brother assures me he had them, so I am assuming he made them himself as an afterschool snack. Note: no margarine
still a work in progress. Milo is difficult to draw ! I thought that this topic would be a lot less time consuming than my last two year entries. and I thought I would not become as emotionally attached it to. Wrong on both counts !
It is coming together , Teddy is being made by my wife who just loves them and making them or as she puts it - she bornded them .
And in bad taste cos I will be in the dog house for Sight and Sound !!
My wife's seams stay done up I am glad to say .
A bit of progress since the last picture, where I'd just removed the wing. Since then I've cleaned up the inner wing, grinding back any surface rust and treating. Then applied a couple of coats of Hammerite to vulnerable areas. A couple of localised patches will be required at the top of the inner wing unfortunately, but it could have been a lot worse I guess.
Door removed in this pic, although I've now fitted the spare door with a good bit of help from a fellow minded enthusiast who will no doubt be reading this (thanks for braving the cold!).
Next steps are a bit more rust prodding on the other side, fit the replacement wing and go & get some paint quotes.
This is me on a typical work day. I remember being a kid and spending days on end without a shirt on, much to my mother's frustration. Until the age of 12 or 13 I would actually bring a pair of blue jeans to church so I could run out to the car and change out of dress pants immediately. For a couple years I wore a clip-on tie to church, for easy removal.
Now I'm comfortable in my dry-cleaned shirt, nice slacks, and dress shoes. Thankfully my specialty doesn't encourage tie wearing.
So, I sit back and wonder sometimes, did I betray that little guy who steadfastly didn't want to grow up? Is this progress? Would I rather be one of those "cool" people who get to go to work in comfortable pants and geek-themed, humorous T-shirts? Would it be so bad to have a half dozen tattoos and some piercings?
Honestly, I don't know. This is me. It works for now, and I'm happy. Still, it doesn't mean I don't wonder sometimes.
Finally got some progress done today :) blonde girl is for Kat (working on your second one now!) zombie girl for Jess / Sookie. Needs to dry and add snap closure and it's done :D
Nice to see more of these 7000 series SD90 rebuilds showing up in eastern Canada. Progress Rail did a great job on them.
Looks like I´m getting better and more consistent.
Biggest problem is that I ran out of Torsos :P
There´s still the rear of the torsos to do, but this will be a bit complicated for my current setup.
Title: Dress in Progress
Year: 2015
Medium: Textiles and Digital Photography
Size: Dimensions Variable
Description:
I chose to create this dress to bring my love of fashion and photography together. The images on the right side are the original photographs for photos I later printed as polaroids. The specific photos I chose represent striking colors and textures that inspired me to create a dress from them.
I'm working on this new girl. I've been trying to improve my carving, so I don't know how will be her final aspect.
A good bit of progres on the Audi yesterday. Various prep jobs completed and new wing now in place.
The panel gaps aren't bad, but could do with some fine tuning. I'll ask the pros to sort that though, the wing will need to come off again anyway as it needs a couple of patches welding where the leading edge of the wing sits.
Following my attempt to curl this doll's hair using a method called a "boil perm," the hair dried, the ends became a little frizzy, and the curls straightened out a bit.
Still, the final effect is pretty close to what I was hoping for. I'm trying to decide whether to give it another try to maybe tighten up the waves, or just leave it and call it good enough. Will the "do" do or do I re-do the "do?"
Also, I realized upon closer inspection that the eyeglasses I'm using for this figure are not quite right for what I'm trying to accomplish. Another set of teeny tiny dolly eyeglasses are on the way via eBay. What I find ridiculous is that one pair of doll eyeglasses that do not even have lenses costs more than a three-pack, a four-pack, or even a six-pack of basic full-size reading glasses like I wear myself.
The subject for this experiment is a circa 2007 Integrity Toys Nu Face "Pretty Calculated" Erin Salstrom doll.
