This curious paddleboarder contemplated the machinery rebuilding the pier at Dromana Beach. The scale of the paddleboarder and beauty of the sea on an early misty morning caught my eye. The pier needs rebuilding following storm damage to its the lower deck.
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.

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!

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.

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!

This is part of the front scale from a Remington 12 typewriter, from the early 20th century. The numbers reflect the scale of 10 characters per inch, with each minor tick representing the width of one character - one-tenth of an inch.
Shot for Macro Mondays' weekly theme "numbers".

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
