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

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...

Brought my pond fish into the house to a fish tank. Having a little fun with them the other day.

three old paperclips on a magnetic pyramid. The "cross bar" of each paperclip measures 1cm. That pyramid is much more rugged than I thought: it is smooth to the touch.

I've been itching for a while, especially since Babalas posted his own, to build a simple prop-job civil aircraft.

 

This is my first attempt at a minifig-scale aircraft, and I'm pretty pleased. I don't really have a name for it, but used some photos of the Cessna 180 as reference for a few details. On the whole, though, I mostly went my own way with the project. It should end up in AFOLOKC's display in December.

 

There's a couple pieces I need to replace for proper coloring, but thought it good enough for a couple pictures, at least.

I'm having fun with posing my cups. Far too many to work on and hard to choose which composition I like the best.

 

This has been treated with many layers of textures and overlays. Cropped, desaturated colour ... you name it! Photoshop CC2015.5, Lightroom CC first for tone.

 

A hot tea in the summer will cool you .... so come on over!! I've been into Aqua things lately .... have always been fond of it but used to be hard to find pretty things in it but it seems now, it's all over the place ... Yay!!!

Enjoy your week friends!

My first work of 2021; another 1:11 scaled rallycar of the 80's: The BMW M3. It is not that BMW has a big name in rallysport at the highest WRC level, but in 1987, the Tour de Corse was the first and till now last time they won a WRC event. The light and agile, rear wheel driven M3 proved to be the best weapon on the twisty tarmac roads of Corsica and Frenchman Bernard Béguin dominated the event from start to finish.

The car was prepared by Prodrive, later famous from the subaru WRC entries and GT3 Bentley's.

 

The Lego model is a one-off design, with about 2000 bricks.

The stickers are once more a great cooperation with my buddy “JaapTechnic” (www.jaaptechnic.com/), and are about as big an effort as building the car.
