In 1986 a twin-car set consisting of trailer no 682 and motor car no 672 reverses in the centre road at North Pier. The conductor has just re-positioned the trolley pole.
This set is now part of Blackpool's heritage fleet and the cars have regained their original numbers - 272 and T2 - and original cream livery.
Woot, its alive! No, its not, but its assembled ^_^
I wish I could catch a better picture of the color..
Yeah, it's the shrink ray from "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids". Ironically, I don't think I'll be able to quite shrink it down to minifigure scale.
I'm also kind of hoping that the forthcoming Louis Tully minifig has dual printing on the head and there's a normal Rick Moranis face on the other side.

"This depiction of American Progress captured a common belief in the 'manifest destiny' of Anglo Americans to rule and civlize the New World. Commissioned in 1872 from a New York artist, it appeared in a popular magazine that celebrated the railroads. The central figure wears the 'Star of Empire' and carries a book symbolizing education and enlightenment. From her other hand, telegraph wires 'flash intelligence [information] through the land.' Peace reigns, the years of civi war are over. The partially completed Brooklyn Bridge represents the powerful cities in the East as white Americans and railroads bring progress to the West. The conquest of the American Indians seems assured, though the wars still raged."
From "Chinese American: Exclusion/Inclusion" at the Oregon Historical Society.
It's important to note that to get to the west coast, Ms. Manifest Destiny is going to have to trot across an enormous* amount of land that was part of Mexico until 1848, when the United States took it in a base act of territorial expansion through war. And before that, the land had belonged to Native Americans.
*The United States contains 900,000 square miles of land that used to be Mexico, about equal in size to Western Europe, according to Wikipedia.
I made some progress yesterday and it is actually looking like the pattern!! yahooo!! I still can't believe I am really knitting...ha ha!
Jacey's SGS Scarf Pattern: jaceycraft.blogspot.com/2011/11/sgs-scarf-pattern.html
I made some good progress the last week. the upper part of the ship also needs to have LEDs installed.
added dells and dents and made the welding lines less perfect.
the "holes" for eyes and mouth are unfortunately less visible now. that's why I painted them black with a permanent marker.
the pink arrows point to a dell that is going around the whole helmet. this was there before but became more prominent with the silver colored filament. will try to fix this.
also you can see the newest iterations of the "gloves" and the lower armor. the upper armor turned out bad...so not pictured here...
in progress, about 6" x 16"
i'm pretty much finished with the face, but what should i do with the rest of it?!
All that's left is track belts and a couple more parts to fill gaps. Nearly done, and ready for an improved script.
New Year's Resolution No. #1 is to finish this quilt! My goal is to have it complete by March 1st~just in time to back it with a print from the re-release of FMF. See, there is a method to my madness.
They call it progress but I feel sad each time I see these structures being built. All the orchards and farms are all gone and the population has gone up from 40, 000 to more that 200, 000 in 35 years that we've been here. The farmer across the street from our house used to let me go and help myself to whatever he had growing. The farmer passed away and the family sold the farm and became residential houses not too long after.
Inglewood Point. Lighthouse by Culprit. Anyone else still have a love for 'old fashioned' builds? I love mesh and sculpts had their time - but sometimes I just love the clean edges of a prim. This house might have some mesh to it - I'm not sure - but I love it's SL circa 2010 look :)
I'd been thinking about another trip to this part of Felixstowe for a while but had been waiting for tide, sunset and weather to all get along nicely together. The opportunity arose last night when it finally stopped raining so Parrish and I headed down there on a very last minute trip.
I spent most of my time trying to avoid getting the docks in the frame but as all the cloud had moved in that direction I finally gave up and composed a couple of shots to include the docks... they were my favourites of the night!

Battle of Bosenden Wood 31st May 1838
When local farmers saw that "their" labourers weren’t turning
up for work they sent a constable to arrest the man who’d
lured them away, the self-styled Sir William Courtenay.
Courtenay killed the constable and the local gentry immediately sent for the army. On 31st May 1838 150 soldiers of the 45th Regiment found the 36 labourers in Bosenden Wood, killed 9 of them and wounded 12 more, two of them had pistols and the rest just had sticks, a young lieutenant was shot and killed.
(The following year this same 45th Regiment was used to put down the Chartist rising in Newport, there they killed 22.)
Lest we forget : These were desperately poor family men marching behind a pole with a loaf of bread fixed on top, they could probably have been bought off with a wage increase of a few pence but instead of that the better off panicked and they became casualties in the last battle on English soil.
Apesar da cor predominantemente preta para trabalhar sob o clima quente do território brasileiro, a pintura ficou bem legal nessas unidades!
Despite the mostly black color to work under the hot weather over brazilian territory, they did pretty cool painting on these units!

Despite a country-wide housing crunch, commercial development in the PNW is robust. A number of high-rises are going up. Commercial Real Estate in downtown urban areas still command high premiums. New retailers are moving in, along with the hopes of high-end downtown luxury living. We'll see. I'm cautiously optimistic.
My Licca dollhouse is progressing steadily. The roof terrace is all but finished.
I've been working on the windows now. They have been a challenge to design so that they're practical and neat to make with the equipment/facilities I have. Not having a designated workshop area for woodwork is a downside, when every piece is sawn by hand. I have all this stuff just piled up in my dolly room now and I need to scoot off to the backyard warehouse when I need to saw something. Hehe!
I will do some touch ups on the paint work all over yet, but I'm fairly pleased with how its coming along, the colours chosen and such. :) Building this is so much fun, coming up with ways to do the different parts of the house and getting to play the designer a bit.
