The Falcon contains 561 pieces.

The main purpose of this build is to display it on your desk or shelf, so I built an additional all-black stand to securely display the Falcon in an angled position, featuring my own logo.

I designed additional Landing Gear and a removable Landing Ramp to display the Falcon on it's own.

Very important for me was to design the Falcon and display stand in a very sturdy and robust way, so you can really swoosh around the Falcon without having to worry about the stability at any point.

Here is a close-up image of the Fishbed's cramped cockpit. The larger scale of the model allowed for greater detail. I also recently modified the canopy, making it less bulky than before and adjusting the profile to resemble the original aircraft better.

An HO scale model GS-4 Locomotive provides a graphic comparison of 3.5mm to the foot railroading vs. 12" to the foot scale. The young gentleman who owned that little Daylight was a participant in this October, 2018 Lerro Productions photo shoot. My understanding is that he's a long-time railfan, and 4449 has always been his favorite locomotive. The HO scale model was given to him as a gift by his girlfriend. On this day, he was seeing the real thing for the very first time. As dusk approached, he used that 12" to the foot model as a back-drop to propose to his girlfriend, with Pete Lerro there to record photos of her response.....which was a pretty emphatic YES! It was a pretty good day for this particular Daylight fan.

A pious man explained to his followers: "It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. 'Don't be scared,' I tell those fishes. 'I am saving you from drowning.' Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I receive, I buy more nets so i can save more fishes.

(Jali, inside the Red Fort in Delhi, India.)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jali

The Khas Mahal was the imperial residence of the emperor Shah Jahan in the Red Fort or Lal Qila at Delhi, built between 1639 and 1648. The screen is suspended over the central water channel that runs through the apartments. The upper semi-circular panel depicts a crescent moon, stars and the scales of justice, the latter used as a regal emblem. The lower section is carved in an intricate floral and lattice work design.

Here we are at North Fond du Lac, WI on 04-03-1976 observing SOO LINE arrivals and departures. SOO GP30 #711 has just arrived from Stevens Point with an F7B and an F7A for power. Ready to depart to the left is an F7-U30C combo. The men are holding a discussion at the scale house.

Now that there's the 1/35 Mini (and quite a few other vehicles built in the meantime) I thought it might be a good idea to update the scale system I'm using for vehicle builds.

The "Larger City Scale", as I call it, is an attempt to harmonize the different vehicle widths and scales used in Town/Minifig surroundings into a single system, according to the following requirements:

- It must be possible to build all sorts (quite an important point) of vehicles in a more or less realistic manner, especially regarding proportions.

- The widths used should be able to reflect the different characters of cars (it's obvious that e. g. a full-size car/landyacht must look much more massive than, say, a pony car like a Mustang).

- It should be possible to combine vehicles and figs standing next to them.

- It should be possible to use the typical vehicle stuff in minifig scale/City surrounding like mudguards, windscreens, wheels and roofparts.

- The seating of minifigs is desirable but not a strict requirement. However, it should be possible to seat the figs side by side or - if there's only room for one fig - to avoid placing it in the center of the car which I can't help looks odd.

Using a single scale throughout to fulfill these requirements proved to be quite difficult. Even if the figs are altered to a 1/40 scale (like I do with all the figs) it is a problem to build matching - and at the same time well-proportioned - cars - the more so if you want to place figs into them. Thus for passenger cars a 1/35 scale proved to be a good compromise. (It is quite interesting that there's at least one clone brick manufacturer - which I won't even name - who produces Lego compatible car models in an explicit scale of 1/35 which I regard as a confirmation of my approach nonetheless).

On larger vehicles like buses or semis a 1/40 scale is no problem, trains are a bit smaller in scale (1/43, 9w) because at 1/40 which would mean a width of 10 studs (at least regarding US style) trains become hard to handle and tend to "dwarf" even buildings. Still they look as massive as they should.

The idea of a variable scale according to the absolute size of a structure (the larger the structure the smaller the scale) is not a new idea, of course. An example is the use of 1/43 vehicles on 1/48 model train layouts (especially in the US, if I'm right). A stadium in the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg is built in a much smaller scale than its surrounding because otherwise it would take too much room on the layout - yet it's an impressive structure.

Anyhow, it should be mentioned that all this is not an exact science, all categorizations are approximative, some decisions are rather determinations - e. g. for reasons of proportions you find the Ford GT40 in the 2m (7w) class though in reality it only measures 1,78 m. As you may spot there's still a conflict between a 1/40 step van in 7w and a 1/35 Hummer in 8w - step vans should probably be 8w throughout, too (I'm actually trying this).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview of the width classes (with some further information regarding the seating of minifigs and the windscreens used; probably I'll add some info about the wheelsizes used, too).

You may spot that there's a great variety of shapes used, exploiting all the possibilities of City, Speed Champions and even Lego Movie sets. Also, you will notice some differences between this and the earlier version, inter alia the missing "+-system" regarding mudguards - it didn't prove very helpful since the mudguard parts are used for different purposes: On trucks and also on vintage cars they often belong to larger structures and should therefore count regarding width whereas on passenger cars they rather can be understood as (quite disproportionate) wheel arches which in reality are much smaller.

LE SCALE

Le scale

questi ansanti tabernacoli bianchi

marmi sui quali gli umani

pavimentano l’anima.

Scale fatte d’aria

dove non ruotano i venti.

Scale adorne

che separano i ferrati dai lenti.

Scale in stile gotico, apostolico

che non portano a Dio

né alla sacralità dell’Essere.

Scale intime, abissali

sotto boschi

dove urlano i corvi.

Le scale

questi penosi tabernacoli bianchi

dalle antiche radici di ferro

che non danno colore

non spargono odore

a chi stringe più in alto lo scettro.

It occurred to me that I hadn't taken a good scale photo with the minifigs in front.

So here it is.

I'm currently working on a Cafe-Corner scale building, and I've been building some furniture for it. Unfortunately, I haven't been thinking clearly about the scale - this furniture takes up half the room. I need to be thinking and building smaller.

L to R: refrigerator, big screen tv, stereo console

The refrigerator doesn't have a back, and it has a piece of tape on top of it. The tape isn't holding it together, it's holding it together better.

Another micro scale WIP

I have finished my currently project. The Northland in Micro Scale. Now iam up to make the pictures.

Here is one for preview. You see Wehrhavn, home of the fleet and one of the realms largest towns.

To the right, you can see the entrance to the "Reichs-Minen".

Cappella Bizantina

Chiesa di San Nicola dei Greci, meglio conosciuta come la Chiesetta dello Spedale in quanto pare che, durante il regno borbonico, questa fu trasformata in ospedale per offrire cure ai meno abbienti. Originariamente, la chiesa era parte integrante di un monastero bizantino, ma oggi ne rimangono solo pochi ruderi, all’interno dei quali sono rimasti intatti gli affreschi della cappella principale dell’antica chiesa bizantina, nei quali è ben visibile l’effige di San Nicola.

So, here's a micro megatron to go witth my Optimus. Contains 41 pieces and completely transforms from robot to tank without removing or adding parts (except the cannon).
