oil painting on linen; 36x48" (photo replaced with final version)

Rebuilt another black Brick street customs car (the other one is in the workshop behind!) as I have the spare parts of the used stickered pieces. I guess having double cars is alright... :D

Repainted at end of 2019 but after a few weeks in service Enviro300 67799 has been parked up with a defect within the depot.

some of the toys I've recently made

This view has changed completely during the three years since this photo was taken, the HST no longer a feature of EMR Services either. OHLE now covers this stretch of Railway and most of the surrounding vegetation lopped away in the process. The location is in the Langtons, a few miles north of Market Harborough and 43467 'Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service' is the loco leading set NL01 and 43468 on the rear. It wasnt commonplace for the Angel owned HST powercars to be paired with a porterbrook set

Seen on a recent stroll.

Gate Guard & Skateboarder

 

The postman is back delivering normal mail... Haha, never been so happy to see the postman... :D I received another BL order so these are the recent minifigs built. The Exo-Force Gate Guard is a cool minifig...

In between other outfits, I had a few ensembles that were either quick changes or relatively unsuccessful looks where I chose not to do a photo-set. Enjoy the "rejects" :P.

Mostly modern stuff in this batch, but still some good ones here. The highlights:

 

The set of four chrome Grand Marquis (back row) were an unusual find...someone dumped them on the roadside, maybe because they were sick of hearing the ticking noises that those caps always make! All have curb scrapes and no center caps, and most of the plastic lug caps are missing, but I took them because they're uncommon and I don't have any. There are enough lug caps to make one complete one that can be sold, and I do have a center cap for it.

 

The new Jetta (rear left) is near mint. Two-tone RAV4 and Civic are also excellent. Both of those were quick stops on the highway, and I was skeptical that they would turn out to be good, so I was pleasantly surprised.

 

The bolt-on 17" Chrysler 300 is scratched but has good bolt holes, and is the only one I have. I find a fair amount of bolt-on Chryslers, but they almost always have broken bolt holes, so I rarely take one.

 

I've never had a SCHOOL BUS license plate before, so I took that one in spite of the poor condition. I'm not really into plates as much as some collectors, but I'll take them if they're nice or interesting

We're supposed to have some kind of snow/ice storm tomorrow, so I thought I better get this photo done today. Some notes on the finds:

 

The Nissan Rogue (X-Trail) has just one broken clip post and all clips present, which is very good for one of those. 3 new Imprezas are all very broken as usual. I'm going to try out a repair method to see if it's worth continuing to pick those up when they have many broken clips.

 

I haven't identified the deep 15" trim ring in the middle. I think it might be a 1980s Ford truck, but I'm not sure. The one on the right is a 16" Chevy Silverado or Express, and the one on the left is a 14" Chevy S-10.

 

The bolt-on Civic is all intact and must have just fallen off...it was right in the roadway at the entrance to some stores, and I stopped and grabbed it immediately. The 5-spoke one next to the wire Buick is a twist-locking Subaru Impreza Outback. I haven't found one of those in awhile. That type is made of clear Lexan and painted on the inside.

 

The metal Ford on the right is a Transit...made by Phoenix and also sold as an aftermarket, but the version with the Ford badge is sold as a genuine Ford accessory. The Tesla is broken and I won't be keeping it, but I thought I'd throw it in the photo. I've found three so far, and that one was the least destroyed, but still junk. I think there are some parts I can save.

 

The 10-lug Ram has good clips, which is rare on that type. That's a big money item for resale, one of the most valuable in this photo. And, the new F-350 next to it is the tallest version, which I haven't had yet. That cap exists in 4 heights for different wheel and axle options.

 

Anyway, hopefully the upcoming snow gives us some potholes, so I don't have to spend the whole season getting tangled up in bushes pulling stuff out of the dirt on embankments like I did last year!

A few of my recent favourites

Claire, Eliie, Celina

recent rains have brought a lot of blooms

I'm being rubbish at uploading to flickr lately sorry! You can find all my recent work on www.facebook.com/rosieoatesphotography :)

This is a still from a recent music video I did the photography for in beautiful Brighton. Was a lovely 19 hour day....

Hope everyone is well.

Former Sunshine Line StreetLite 63197 now on Aberdeen local livery passing the former AECC on the 1B.

Some bokeh technique I picked up while I was out of town and thought of trying it out myself in a recent party.

 

I would make another one real soon, this time I hope to see multicolored lights to have a better feel of the image.

I love the first day after a new styling because my hair always looks best after a fresh "color & straightening"

Diamond's BX07 AYU (30006) is seen waiting time at the Alexandra Hospital, Redditch, before taking a 55 back to Redditch Bus Station. It is the third B7RLE/Centro to be allocated to Redditch, the other two being (30406) YN08 NXL and (30821) BX09 SHZ. This Wessex branded Centro still carries its Wessex legals and didn't have anything in the windows to say it's a Diamond vehicle, and so usually stays on the S77 school service. However, yesterday (21/10/17) and today (22/10/17), it has been used in public service. On the 21st, I saw it on the 58 and on the 22nd, it replaced a Solo on the 55. BX07AYU April 2007 to Flights Hallmark (before being renamed to the Rotala PLC), for use on the Bristol Park & Ride service. When new it had the fleetnumber 7006. It has also worn branding for the X27 (Yate-Bristol City Centre). It was quite a good thrash and the driver thought it was a good drive. It is a Volvo B7RLE/Plaxton Centro.

Bought from a Singaporean BL seller, they arrived last week amidst the water problems at my house... I guess they didn't mind the chaos a bit...
