The plane of the Tibidabo is a reply to real scale of the Rohrbach Roland, plane that it use the airline Iberia on December 14, 1927 to do the first commercial flight of the company, with the distance Barcelona - Madrid (current airports: The Prat and Carabanchel). The Passenger of honor was the King Alfonso XIII, who went 2 hours before in another plane to see this one how it was landing in Madrid. But the rain delays the flight. This model of plane already it was using from 1926 the German airline Lufthansa for its regional flights. The original plane has three engines Made by BMW, and a capacity for 10 passengers. In total there were created in Germany 18 real planes, of which 3 belonged to Iberia, When Lufthansa withdraws them to change them into more modern planes.

A memory of the day I spent more than 5 minutes explaining what a scales is to a young shop assistant before getting fed up and finding it myself. "A scales? Is that something to do with fish?". Honestly, I'm just going to give in and be a grumpy old woman.

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.
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!
I am really struck by the patterns and coloration of this particular Koi... Easily my favorite out of all the fish in this lovely pond!

All scales are now shaped, head base is collapsed, and shaping will start soon. I only need to fold the dorsal spines, and then the wiring and glueing shall commence :P

When I was about six years old, I noticed what looked like chest-of-drawers sitting in many pastures in Texas. I found out that those wooden boxes contained commercial beehives. While honey production for humans is a nice bonus, the pollination of crops is their most important function. The Hereford cattle seem amused by the beekeepers. Actually, the cattle benefit because the bees pollinate the clover that cattle enjoy.
I photographed this scene on Steve Sandifer's Howard Branch HO scale layout during the November 2015 Fall Layout Tour.
Skógafoss is huge. My tall 6'11"; friend is, for once, tiny. And drenched.
The water plunges from a height of a 14 storey building (60m) to a deafening roar. My phone was getting sprayed with mist a hundred feet away.
i made this out of an old folder, some scrap paper, doublesided tape, markers, etc.
oh and staples. it was more fun and less frustrating than expected.
This, my friends, is the notorious Tokay Gecko. A handsome beast, and one of the largest gecko species. They have a reputation of being rather nasty in the reptile keeping world because their first response to any danger is to bark and bite, and, trust me, when they bite it hurts!
However the main reason for their unsociable attitude is because virtually all those in captivity are wild caught. Cheap and plentiful. Captive-bred indiviuals are few and far between due to the fact that because they are so cheap and plentiful hobbyists don't bother trying to breed them. Another reason is because they are somewhat difficult to breed in captivity - prefering to glue their eggs onto a surface and having a long incubation peiod means the conditions are rarely correct for successful hatching.
However should the hobbyist choose to attempt this the results can be very satisfying, and raising them from hatchling can dispell most of their aggression.
