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.

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 :-)
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.
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!

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.
Please help or just share your opinion: only this bat pulls some thread behind his right wing and has something whitish stuck around his mouth and on his tongue.
I guess this can be spider's web, and maybe unlucky moth scales (moth could have been stuck to the web shortly before it was found by the bat), or just web residua - what about you? Thank you.

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.

A set of English G Salter & Co public weighing scales No 308 , They were popularly seen on railway platforms and outside Post Offices when I was a boy fifty to sixty years ago . You could weigh yourself for a penny . A shot from my last home where these scales resided on the side verandah in the late 80's to early 1990's

Fish check in progress ... I think I have that same look when staring at a bowl of hot apple pie and ice cream :)
The best way to visualize size is to compare the unknown to a known. Most have a good idea of the size of a Vole, so now you can better understand the size of a Northern Pygmy-Owl.
My better half Amanda features here to give a sense of
scale to the scene. In front of her is a huge canyon and those green cliffs opposite were stunning!

I have been searching for some dragon scale fabric for ages for my little mohair dragons. I did see one recently and was in a hurry and didn't buy it - the next week it was gone. On our trip to Forster, we called in at Spotlight in Taree and I found this metallic dragon scale fabric - I love it!!

My father is the figure on the right of the group in front of the falls.
We don't give much notice to the ubiquitous garbage truck, yet without it, life would get pretty interesting within a few days.
In Elgin Park, there was only one such truck, owned by "Pip" Paulson, and he made the rounds tirelessly, 5 days a week.
All of the town's castoffs were taken down by the river, at a place called Bunkie's Landing. This used to be a notorious area for rum running and other nefarious activities, back in the 1920's and '30s, but times had changed and the town's dump was now there.
Back to "Pip" Paulson; he was a valued citizen who performed a very necessary task that kept the town running smoothly. He bought himself a new Buick in 1948, seen here, which he kept in tip top shape and remained his only car until he passed away in 1965.
A hail and hearty Hurrah! for the "sanitary engineers" throughout the world. This photo is dedicated to you.
As for the model...the business end of the garbage truck, in the photo, was handmade, based on an early '50s design. It is constructed of styrene plastic and found objects.
On a different note...

No stepping outside for me today. I was tempted to take a self-portrait as I feel run-down today for sure, still sick. Anywho--I took this photo (only took 5 shots) of a few of our finds from our vintage adventure on the way home last week. These items may be run-down, forgotten, rickety and neglected but to me they are much loved. So much character and history.
