One of my students wanted to do "artist's edition" kinder eggs for a project and asked me to fill that little yellow thingy with a creation of my own.
Being into the whole meta thing and remembering once researching kinder egg collectors, I decided that the ultimate kinder egg toy would be a reference to that feeling of not knowing what's inside - the expectations.
The style of kinder egg toys is eclectic and the only visual/tactile connectedness between Kinder Egg toys are that they come from inside said egg, therefore: The half scale kinder egg.
Made out of super sculpey and cut up Kinder Egg wrappers.
This railroad scale house, in West Kentucky Wildlife Management Area east of the Paducah site, was used in the 1950s to weigh Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant freight. Workers preserved the old scale because of its potential historical significance. The scale house was demolished.
A few months ago I got a chance to visit my friend Jeff Rutzky and see (and photograph) some of the projects he was working on for his new book Shadowfolds, that teaches how to create intricate geometric designs with fabric. The pieces are really beautiful and surprisingly easy to make.
When I was a teenager, my teachers believed that by now, the United States would be using the metric system for everything. It seems we converted partly, but stalled. Now we have an interesting blend of two systems!
Fortunately, I did study French...

The old scales actually still worked, amazing really, although there was no needle on the face to actually display the weight, you could actually stand on the plate and see the internals on the face working.

What I am told first about Nariño is that it is a complicated area. It is a region that other buyers and sellers have struggled to make progress in but is known for having great quality. Nariño is the department that is in the southwest corner of Colombia, bordered by the Pacific Ocean and Ecuador.
Nariño varies in geography from coastal beaches to the high mountains of Pasto. Because of this variation, not only are parts of Nariño prime real estate for coffee, but it is good for coca production, as well. This has led to security issues and different rogue groups volleying for control all over the landscape.
What I am first and foremost told about coffe is that most of the coffee here goes to basically 2 buyers. BIG buyers. Looking at this warehouse, that is still hard for me to comprehend. Just in this photo, there are about 50,000 bags of parchment coffee, and this is only 1 of 3 major mills/warehouses in the region. So, thinking about the project here, it is also not hard to image that a few of these bags could easily have some amazing coffee, while others not so much.
The goal of the project, simply put, is to find and get better prices for those great coffees that get lost in the mix.
Easier said than done, though.
butterfly scales - thought I'd see how close I could get before it got in a bad mood and flew away - I got this close. The inset, when viewed at 'original', shows the actual pixel representation direct from the camera.
Basically v4.0 of my 8-wide GP38-2, but now battery-powered and with correctly scaled trucks. Also some improvements overall.
During my work on v3.0 I quickly noticed the proportions on the engine are generally good, but somewhat off - a slightly too long nose with the cab being too far backwards by just a bit, which also resulted in a too short long hood. Chris Stone later proposed a similar approach to what he did on the SD40-2 redesign: Shift the whole engine body by half a stud in relation to the frame.
Here's the result. Tons of jumpers in there. Proportions are spot-on now. The nose got a plate-height shorter, resulting in a less uncanny face. The cab is shifted forward by half a stud, so the long hood could grow by a stud in length, too. Overall, very happy with the result.
Powered by a single PU L-motor on the rear truck. The front one is unpowered, which came from limitations on the internal space. The city hub runs on PyBricks with the famous train motor control script. The trucks are geared up with a 1:1.67 ratio for some additional speed. Overall, the pulling power is okay-ish with that single L-motor approach, but in general it's probably best to just build a lashup with two identical engines.
Most of the decals are from the BNSF SD40-2 kit available on BMR, I just slapped a different road number on it and used some home-printed yellow striping, also black vinyl tape (better color accuracy). 3D printed train wheels by OKBrickWorks, purchased at BTD.
Thanks once again to Chris Stone for all your input and nudging me into redesigning the engine with that 1/2 stud shift. Best decision ever.
This is the first capture I've uploaded that I shot with my new Sigma 10-20mm, It's a great lens.
The photo itself if of a set of rusting scales just behind Caister beach in Norfolk. It was a freezeing day and by the time I took this I could barely feel my fingers, shortly after leaving it started to snow.
This photo is the first in a small series of black and white shots I plan to upload.

It's always neat looking to the left and right during this climb and seeing the ground below at two different elevations.
Scale used in art is based on the angle to make something appear larger or smaller. I think this photo is a great example of it because the hands are closer making them look larger giving it a dream like quality. The photo is called, "Me and Tennessee" (I look this photo), and without the scale use in this picture the idea would not have fully been reached across.
