I'm just holding the front in place while I think about how to build a neck transition between the two sections.
I also am getting my Bricklink shipments in, so I was able to clean up the Bumblebee pattern on the "wings".
The working title for this is "Luna". My first ship was the Chrysalis, so I think I want to name each ship after a butterfly or moth.
Big question for the usual folks who fave these things - Build the interior fig scale or microscale?

East-German postcard by VEB Progress Film-Vertrieb, Berlin, 2856, 1967. Photo: Blümel. Frank Schöbel in Hochzeitsnacht im Regen/Wedding Night in the Rain (Horst Seemann, 1967).
Frank Schöbel (1942) was one of the most successful pop singers in socialist East Germany (GDR) and remained so after the German reunification. He started his career in the GDR as a musician, but also appeared as a presenter and entertainer in TV shows and played in DEFA films. In 1971, he recorded 'Wie ein Stern' (Like a Star), which was a smash hit and later appeared in the acclaimed film Das Leben der Anderen/The Lives of Others (2007). Schöbel was married to the actress and singer Chris Doerk, with whom he often performed in the 1960s and 1970s.
Frank-Lothar Schöbel was born in 1942 in Leipzig, Germany. He was the second son of the opera singer Käthe Brinkmann. His musical talent was discovered early on. As a seven-year-old, he attended the preparatory course for the Thomanerchor (St. Thomas' Choir) in Leipzig. But instead of joining the choir, he was more interested in pop music. He completed an apprenticeship as a mechanic and began his musical career in the Erich Weinert Ensemble of the Nationalen Volksarmee (National People's Army - NVA). In 1962, Schöbel started his career as a musician in the GDR. In 1964 he produced his first single and at the end of the year took first, second and fourth place in the GDR charts with 'Looky Looky', 'Blonder Stern', and 'Party Twist'. He also appeared as a presenter and entertainer in television shows and played in DEFA films, such as Reise ins Ehebett/Journey into the Nuptial Bed (Joachim Hasler, 1966) with Anna Prucnal and Eva-Maria Hagen, Hochzeitsnacht im Regen/Wedding Night in the Rain (Horst Seemann, 1967) with Traudl Kulikowsky, and the musical Heißer Sommer/Hot Summer (Joachim Hasler, 1968) with Chris Doerk, at the time his wife. Heißer Sommer was one of the biggest box-office hits in the history of East-German cinema. He and Doerk twice won the GDR Schlager competition, in 1967 with 'Lieb mich so, wie dein Herz es mag' (Love me as your heart likes it) and in 1969 with 'Abends in der Stadt' (Evening in the city).
In 1971 Frank Schöbel had his first big success in both East- and West-Germany with 'Wie ein Stern' (Like a star). The East German record label Amiga sold 400,000, the West German Philips label over 150,000 singles. Schöbel was then invited to the program Musik aus Studio B by NDR and was the first GDR pop singer to appear in the Federal Republic of Germany. In May 1989 he achieved another success when the song 'Wir brauchen keine Lügen mehr' (We don't need any more lies) reached position 80 in the West-German airplay charts. Schöbel and Doerk returned to the cinema with another musical Nicht schummeln, Liebling!/Don't cheat, darling! (Joachim Hasler, 1972), but it was less successful than their hit film Heißer Sommer/Hot Summer (1968). Schöbel performed at the opening ceremony of the 1974 World Cup in the Federal Republic of Germany as a representative of the GDR in the Frankfurt Waldstadion. In 1975 Schöbel sang together with his colleague and partner Aurora Lacasa on the Ernst-Thälmann-Insel, which belongs to Cuba. They performed the song 'Insel in the Golf of Cazones' for the GDR television program Unterwegs mit Musik - Kuba (1975). Very popular was his children album 'Komm wir malen eine Sonne' (Come on, let's paint a sun) in 1975.
In 1985, Frank Schöbel and Aurora Lacasa, together with their two daughters, recorded the LP 'Weihnachten in Familie' (Christmas with Family). It became the best-selling album in GDR history. In the East-German gay film Coming Out (Heiner Carow, 1989), Frank Schöbel's songs 'Wie ein Stern'( Like a Star) and 'Gold in deinen Augen' (Gold in Your Eyes) are played in a scene in the pub, Zum Burgfrieden. In the Oscar-winning film Das Leben der Anderen/The Lives of Others (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, 2006), Schöbel's song 'Wie ein Stern' is played as background music in a scene in an East Berlin restaurant, which characterises the popular music scene in the GDR in the 1980s. Frank Schöbel was married from 1966 till 1974 to the pop singer Chris Doerk, and they have a son, Alexander Schöbel. After their divorce, he lived from 1975 till 1996 with Aurora Lacasa. They have two daughters, Dominique and Odette. Dominique is also successful as a singer. In 2002 Schöbel's daughter Liv Cosma was born. Frank Schóbe published a memoir, 'Frank und frei. Die Autobiographie', in 1998. In 2011, he released the single 'Hautnah und Sehnsucht nach Heim' and in 2016 the cd 'Unvergessen - die Hits unserer Herzen'. Every year Frank Schöbel goes on a big Christmas tour through East Germany. Schöbel lives in Berlin-Mahlsdorf and has set up a small recording studio there. He plays in the over-70 soccer team of BSV Eintracht Mahlsdorf. To date, Frank Schöbel has composed over 350 songs, sang more than 600 songs, and wrote around four dozen lyrics. His DEFA film Heißer Sommer/Hot Summer (1968) enjoys now cult status in Germany.

There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. --John Cage Silence: Lectures and Writings, 1961

In progress - my first attempt at drawing with pastels, and my first attempt at drawing in colour. There's more detail to add to this and some tidying up, then the other half to start working on.

Beijing builds big, and in a hurry. This can inspire awe. It can also evoke troubles, when the building bubble pops one day.
As we waited to get back on to the Patras-Corinth highway to resume our journey after a 10-hour delay.
The director of the annual Chalk Festival finishes up this piece on the fourth day. Robin VanLear and her helpers lay down a very large and ambitious piece each year which often takes more than the weekend to finish.
this is the hair for my clyde logan. Im currently working on his body, and i thought i should share progress to anyone who might see this.
I made this very simply, using some tools i found around the house.(im new to the minifig customization business so i dont have all the good tools). i sanded down a harry potter minifigure hairpiece on the top and front then used scissors to take the part hanging down in the front off. Yes, scissors. I dont have any hobby knives. please tell me what you think in comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!
an "architecture tour" Chicago River cruises in progress
Using a slightly modified Kodachrome 64 in-camera recipe from veresdenialex -- trying to get the Ricoh "positive film" look but with good autofocus :-)
Here are three of the four strips to be made for this afghan (called "Groovy Granny" from Herrschner's Blue Ribbon Afghans). I started this for my daughter, but became somewhat attached to it. She has agreed that I can keep it, as long as I make a bright Babette for her.
I was driving to downtown Oakland to look for street art when I came across a work in progress. It's sponsored by Attitudinal Healing Connection in Oakland. They envision a world where everyone is whole, safe, loved, educated, and valued. We have a long way to go.
This is likely the last work in progress photo of this you'll see in LDraw. I've gone about as far as I can go without putting two bricks together... I'm just not that good at building free-hand in virtual space.
That said, I did have quite a bit of fun tonight working on the locomotive's front end. The trailing truck is stolen from the old T1 design and will likely get modified even further than it already has.
I actually shortened the boiler by two studs. I compared her to photos of the real thing and the wheels just didn't line up with the longer boiler. Sadly she's FAR too tall compared to the prototype, but looking at her in this format she doesn't "look" too tall, so hopefully she won't "look" too tall in real bricks either.
Obviously a lot of details are missing, and a lot of the details between the boiler and wheels will change as well (or never exist in real bricks, since they're leftovers from the digital Mikado).
All in all I'm very pleased with how she's beginning to take shape. Still, I'm always happy to accept comments and criticism.
