The HO scale farmhouse kit is the same design as the one on my N scale layout, but each of us detailed ours a bit differently, and each of us scratchbuilt a shed for the farm vehicles.. Here is a link to my version of this building: www.flickr.com/photos/13893317@N06/8042816729/in/set-7215... . The amber wheat field in the background is painted on. The trees behind the farmhouse are a photograph that is cut out to help hide a hidden track in a carefully concealed trench that will eventually lead to a lower level featuring Emporia, Kansas.
This photo was taken of Steve Sandifer's HO scale layout. All his finished structures and scenery are superb. He models a Santa Fe branchline in central Kansas circa 1952. I photographed his layout on the 2014 Fall Layout Tour
I've had scenes like this in mind for some time. This is my first attempt at Lego characters interacting with everyday items in the house. In this case, scaling the cheese grater.
(Not easy keeping them in place though).

It was a long wait to see a living saw scaled viper from this location. It was a 3 year wait. I had seen 2 road killed specimens, one each year and one year went without spotting any.
Finally beginning of this year, I was fortunate enough to see a live saw scaled viper in one of the night walks.
It is a deadly snake, one of the fastest striking snakes in the world. One shouldn't underestimate its capability just by its size.
This old scale has been sitting around our house for years. I think my wife got it as a wedding present some 12 years ago. There's not telling how old it really is. We always liked the rust patina and thought it would be a good subject to photograph, but have never gotten around to it before.
Tonight I had to take something of value. It has been about a week and a half since I've taken anything of note.
For this shot, I had one light on level with the face of the scale and to the right of the image. I had my handy-dandy black backdrop behind and underexposed.
Only post-processing in Photoshop was an adjustment layer for contrast, set to 45% opacity (no adjustment in the dialog box) and resizing.
Please critique honestly,

This is only a partial example of how to do the scales.
For your real Koi first meassure where you want to have the scales then begin by making the main grid, let´s say 30 by 30 if you´re sadistic minded or 32 by 32 if you want it a little bit easier to obtain (a little bit more scales to fold too, but after having folded 900 scales a few hundred more don´t count...).
Sometimes, when looking at a photograph it is difficult to judge the scale of elements within; the angle from which a photograph is taken alters dramatically the perceived scale which we view the image in our mind. I guess you may be struggling a little with this one taken with the camera nearly at ground level. Cast your eye to the V in the major rocks on the right of the picture and you will see a tree, perhaps that will now alter your perception of the scale? The two largest peaks were probably only five metres or so higher than the level of the camera, although considerably higher than the landscape surrounding this location.
Where? Oh yes, taken on a very warm day a few years ago at Hanging Rock in Australia.

... oh Explore, you fickle beast. Down to 398.

THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH FLICKR ... The individual photos of the flat bed transporter were not appearing in any search of its tags, but it was 'public'. Changing to 'private' and then back to 'public' seems to have restored its searchability!
This a link to the photos of it anyway: www.flickr.com/photos/adrianz-toyz/48122328323
Since this was taken I have a couple more, a Freightliner car transporter set, and the Kenworth as a box van plus a couple of tankers. Search 'Shinsei' on my photostream to see pics of all these individually.
