A vivid floatplane cuts across the open sky above Alaska’s coastal wilderness, its bright fuselage contrasting against layered blues and deep evergreen forests. Snow-capped peaks rise beyond the fjord, partially veiled by low, drifting clouds that trace the contours of the mountains. The still, steel-blue water in the foreground anchors the scene, emphasizing the scale and isolation of the landscape.
The image captures a defining element of life in remote Alaska—aviation as a lifeline—set against a vast, untamed backdrop that conveys both serenity and rugged grandeur.

One factor in what i call "true minifig scaling" is not to just keep the minifig height in mind, but also the fact that the original minifigs low hip joints might create the impressions of tires being "too large" for a vehicle. I also forget that fact myself sometimes, since i often place minifigs next to my vehicles. However, if you keep using the realistically proportioned "human fig" as a template next to your MOC, selecting the right tires/rims for your vehicles wont be any trouble.
Another day with a forecast of low cloud and >95% chance of rain. In these conditions there isn't much else other than fast flowing rivers that are worthwhile capturing.
Today, we travelled to Buttermere via Cockermouth and Crummock Water to reach the foot of Scale Force, a huge waterfall that sits in a gorge on red pike and feeds Crummock Water via Scale Beck. It's actually the tallest waterfall in the Lake District at 170ft tall.
I've been to Buttermere a number of times and never seen Scale Force flowing as quickly as it was today. We could even hear it from over 1/2 a kilometre away.

My first stab at a smaller scale vehicle. The design is 100% my own and I plan an using it for a bigger project, which I may or may not finish. It doesn’t quite look right, but just enough to pass as an M48. I need to reshape the turret rear and possibly switch to a larger barrel for the commanders cupola.
EB CN grain train G898 is on its knees as it climbs out of the Mississippi River valley. The train is cresting the highest elevation on the railroad ( in the state of Illinois ) at Scales Mound. The train could be heard 15 minutes before it arrived. Thanks to Craig for the intel.
I would have preferred a 50mm shot off the road bridge that I am on, but there is a thick wire going across the tracks. I am standing on the roof of my truck, in order to get above the wire. No way to get below the wire.

Coming back down Mellbreak I diverted to Scale Force waterfall.. what you can see is the small bottom drop of the waterfall, the main part of the fall can be seen in the background..
the shot is hand held, trying to get a bit of motion blur.. I took a few and this was the one that came out best :-)
Rust attacking the centimeter scale on great grandfather's caliper. Taken for #MacroMondays #Rust theme.
3:1 reproduction ratio. Horizontal dimension is (obviously), 12mm.
A line of hikers making the ascent. Also reminds me of the 'ants go marching...'
Bonus points if you see the two hikers descending.
Thanks for looking!

Dettifoss waterfall Iceland, situated in northeastern Iceland, not far from Mývatn.
You see the falling Jökulsá á Fjöllum river, which comes from the Vatnajökull glacier and collects water from a large area in north-east Iceland. Dettifoss is the most powerful waterfalls in Europe, having a flow between 200.000 and 500.000 litres per second !!! The falls are 100 m wide and have a drop of 44 m down to the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon.
WOW...makes your hands shiver

I thought I'd have an outing before my area goes in to Covid Tier 3 tomorrow. Revisited Scale Haw Force hoping, this time, for some autumnal colours but suspect I'd missed the best of it.
This image is two photos focus stacked.
There, I went and said it. The Packard has them and from this angle, so does the bank. Dagmar bumpers were a feature on Packard, Cadillac, Buick and other models of US cars in the 1950s. The name comes from the name of a TV character on NBC’s first attempt at late night TV called Broadway Open House. Actress, Virginia Lewis was hired to play the part of a stereotypical dumb blond, named Dagmar. Her curvy figure inspired the comparison with the automotive bumper featured on so many cars.
Dagmar became one of early television’s leading personalities, appearing on Milton Berle’s show and The Bob Hope Show. She even recorded a novelty song called Mama Will Bark with Frank Sinatra. Liberace gave her credit for giving him his big break when she hired him as an accompanist. In the 1960s, she made occasional appearances on shows like Hollywood Squares and The Mike Douglas show. She passed in 2001 at the age of 79.
It is her legacy as the inspiration for a 1950s automotive styling icon for which she is best remembered.
This is a rare photo from the one24thscale team that does not include any forced perspective trickery. The 1953 Packard Clipper is actually full scale! Hard to believe, we know...
This waterfall is fed by an overflow system from Scaling Reservoir, in North Yorkshire. Heavy rain has given a nice flow and though I've not been, for many years, I thought I'd visit today.
