My dad was an electrical engineer, and this was his scale ruler. I don't know how old it is.
A minifig scale vehicle based on a Matchbox Superfast car, the Soopa Coopa. See original atwork here:

The model has thaat Classic Space look, that's why I put Classic astronauts minfigs inside.
I had a big search on Olearia argophylla for a particular Trioza species that I had found there before. I failed on that, but did find some other interesting critters. This is pretty dull though, but a couple of sightings for the record.

This is a small section of the trailing edge of a mosquito’s wing at about x400 time’s magnification. An amazing array of scales protrude from the edges of the wing all the way round. These are layered in a way that must assist with flight. The veins in the wing also have two different types of scale - one type visible on the upper surface and another type on the lower wing surface. You can see the shadowed scales below the surface in this photograph. It is difficult even with multiple exposures combined, [photo stacking], to truly capture it all. Everything is so 3D at high magnification that only the tiniest slice of it is in focus at any one time. By the way - the little greenish flecks scattered over the image are I suspect hairs and other particles on the under side of the cover slip - hard to get everything right!
Looking at such delicate wing structures makes me think of the hymn "All things bright and beautiful'.
Taken for Our Daily Challenge (Topic: Scale)
I might still play around with the edit on this. But it I try my best and it was fun to do :)
I got the idea of having a big me and a little me randomly. I thought I could do it, so I whipped out my camera and decided to stand on the bathroom scale for good measure :) I ended up looking more frightened of myself than I intended, but its okay. I believe my oddly shaped feet and toes are enough to frighten anyone ;)
Hoping everyone is having a superb day! I can't believe my birthday is tomorrow. It doesn't feel real...
PS- My hair is pulled up into a bun. I just now realized that it looks a little odd..
This set came about because I and a fellow builder Ralph: www.flickr.com/photos/madphysicist/
did a colaborative build of the first Plymouth Rock at miniland scale. I then built the large Rock and Ralph built the minifig one, before finally, decided to go Micro.
The never ending 1/6 scale Kitchen Project........What a labor intensive nightmare these have turned out to be. I get to a point where I think I'm in the home stretch and than I find more work to be done. Like this morning, thought I was finally finished, but now I'm going to have to fabricate some drawer pulls, I didn't want to use them, but the drawers are too difficult to get to and easily open, so still not done .......... One good thing, I am finally cured of Hinge-a-phobia, I'm not scared of hinges anymore, I just hate them with a passion, if they are not perfectly lined up the doors do not sit flush against the cabinets. Each kitchen has 15 working cabinet doors, 2 hinges per door x 3 nails per hinge that are the size of an eyelash and just shy of a 1/4" long, I bet they could hear me cussing up a storm in China.
I used three different colours of face flannel (wash cloth) to make some towels for the bathroom. Hot pink, baby pink and lilac. I used the edge where there was a pattern. This also meant I didn't have to do any sewing as it didn't fray! I also made a bath mat and blind (which I will show properly tomorrow when I finish the shower curtain, and post pics :)
For Our Daily Challenge: SCALE is the Topic for 28 November 2010
OK, I know when the bark starts to come off the tree these things are called scales, right? It comes off in scaly sections? I need you to agree with me because the dictionary is not being helpful! Anyway, here is my interpretation for "scales"! Voila!
I've been busy trying to make a King Leman Russ for my non-existent guard army.
It's been going well.
Sonja is wearing the jogbra-style top, the tights, and the Fire Girl headband. It's all made of the same stretchy spandex material. The top is a little better than Fire Girl's cheerleader outfit top, but only by a little -- it still doesn't quite seem to take its shape back again once you get it on a figure, and I"m still not fond of the laser-cut edges. However, it's still an improvement so I have to give them credit for that.
The tights are very nice -- form-fitting and nicely tailored. I'd suggest getting some plastic wrap or wax paper on your seamless body legs before you get them on, or just have a whole lot of patience. I'd also put a drop of Fray Check or similar seam glue at the waistband -- like a lot of very snug stretchy clothing, the tugging you need to get the pants on a figure can pop a stitch, as you can see right under her belly button.
I have a diecast model of a 1946 Ambulance that would work well in a scene, but there wasn't a stretcher included with the model. Hmmmm, why not make one, I thought.
In my "parts" box I found some left over brass window frames that had potential for the stretcher's base. And then there was the trusty aluminum tubing that could stand in for the detailing.
It was a plan.
About 10 hours later, there was a little stretcher on my work mat.
Gotta love the web for photo references!
