Small scale diorama creation
After watching a few Youtube videos on making 1:64th scale dioramas which included constructing buildings I was enthused but lacked the necessary skill level. The next day I was wandering around a local collectors market when I found a stall selling Hornby Skaledale buildings and accessories. Although Skaledale is for OO gauge railways and is therefore 1:76th scale I thought that they could be used as a backdrop for my 1:64th scale model car collection. Also, using ready made Skaledale items would fast track any diorama I would be making building wise. The vendor had a nice range both boxed and unboxed and I made my selection. What I liked about the Skaledale buildings is that being resin they feature details that are 3D unlike the card versions that appear flat.
The street scene diorama is a work in progress and comprises the following Skaledale buildings:

R8621 Left Hand Mid-Terraced
R8622 Right Hand Mid-Terrace
R9650 Country Garage
The toy car in the image is a Tomica #40 Chevrolet Camaro is 1:66th scale and features working suspension along with opening doors. Two versions were released on the 16th December 2017, the standard issue based on the Camaro ZL1 available in black, and a Special First Edition (SFE) based on the Camaro SS available in red. Therefore, the black and red versions are not the same castings so both are worth collecting as they are not just different colours. The standard version was retired in February 2021 but the SFE was only available for limited period.
Staircases basically completed.....YEAH! Looking forward to moving on to something else after spending a week on these.

When looking at pictures, sometimes it's easy to forget just how large of a scale these wonders are. Here is another photo from The Papal Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Florence, Italy
NEW YORK – The Maritime Security Response Team’s Direct Action Section inspected and secured more than 100 volunteer role players aboard the Staten Island Ferry during an exercise in New York Harbor, March 19, 2014.

Up close the dead tree seems quite large but when viewed from a distance I realise just how small it is without any leaves to give it mass.
This was run through Neat Image to remove most of the noise - it's also removed a bit of detail but I do like the soft colour palate which is original
Abandoned scale house in the ghost town of Foard City. This structure stands a couple hundred yards down track from the grain silos, which are easily spotted from nearby Rte 6.
Oystershell scale is a widespread problem, an emerging invasive insect posing a serious threat to conservation of quaking aspen in northern Arizona and beyond. A serious priority for researchers, oystershell scale monitoring and research is occurring on the Flagstaff and Mogollon Rim Ranger Districts with collaborators from NAU School of Forestry.
Photos are from a collaborative field trip with NAU School of Forestry and the USFS. We shadowed researchers and graduate students, visiting two test plots where possible mitigations for oystershell spread are being reviewed.
