This scale and brick were sitting on a stand that was supposed to offer roasted chestnuts to the patrons on our Main Street holidays events. At Thanksgiving, the word chestnut was covered with a sign that said Wassail. I still found this scene attractive, in a real old skool kinda way. The Leica R4 and Elmar-R 100mm macro lens with HP5+ made for a nice image.
In my faculty they teach architecture and engineering. Architecture students use to make scale models. Unless the models were really good, They don't use to take them back to home because sometimes they are too large for going into the bus, and students found their "not so good" models useless when the semester ends. that's why most of those models end up in the trash. I asked a friend if I could keep this one and he said: "Of course!". Look at it carefully and you will notice that is not so perfectly made, but thanks to this scale model I could make this photo story:
My not quite finished Scott Scale XC race bike, but after 5 days riding the 7 Stanes, I think its a do-it all rather well bike. In fact it's a truly amazing ride and I can't see myself going back to full-sussers now.
a scale study i did for my next design: a scaled european dragon. the scales are threedimensional what gives a very nice effect together with the right light.
whereas the general used scales(for example Kamiyas Ryu Zin or Langs Koi) decrease the area by a factor of 1/9 this one decreases the paper size by 1/4 what makes it better useable in complex models, although it may need an extra row of transition-units because the pleats are half of the general size when the scales have the same size.
On Evia island alone, the fires burnt over 50,000 hectares – an area larger than the island of Samos or 93 thousand football fields.
Given the scale and severity of the fires, Greece activated the EU Civil Protection Mechanism to request support for their regional and national firefighters in tackling the forest fires.

This is a 1:100 scale model of a Commercial Space Station, which we were commissioned to build in 2019. The model features a variety of customized modules, stowage facilities, an airlock, an observatory, a robotic arm and a main solar array. The model is accompanied with replicas of the SpaceX Dragon and Boeing CST-100 supply ships. Later we are going to add to this set a replica of the SpaceX Dragon 2 as well. The model also includes several posed astronaut figurines, designed and customized for us by Mr. Max Grueter.
The model was designed in 3D software, produced by rapid prototyping and manually assembled, painted and decorated.
In this model we implemented the features and technics developed for our models of ISS, which we were building and perfecting since 2008. The model has reliable internal reinforcement system, holding the modules together. Most vulnerable elements are produced from durable materials – metal and nylon. Selected components and supply ships’ replicas have embedded magnets, allowing to reconfigure the station and exercise various docking schemes. The model is mounted with support poles on a black painted base.
The model is designed to be partially disassembled during transport. It is packed in a Pelican heavy duty transit case and can be fast and easily assembled for presentation.
Wrigleyville in N-Scale.
With the Cubs winning the World Series Wrigley Field and the Wrigleyville neighborhood are very much in the news. I thought I would upload these images to show what the area looked like in the early 1970s when the Milwaukee Road ran right past the ballpark to interchange with the CTA at the Buena Yard in Uptown. I’ve been working on this diorama over the years and it is very much a work in progress.
I also model the Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston (C&E Line) farther south from Belmont Avenue to Wellington Avenue where it ran down the middle of Lakewood Avenue. I will post pictures of that diorama later.
My goal is to close the gap between the two dioramas-in a compressed way-and one day model the section around Racine and Roscoe where the Milwaukee Road went under the CTA Ravenswood Line and service a fuel dealer.
All of the buildings are scratch built using photographs and postcards of buildings in the area from the era. Some have since been torn down like the residence on Eddy Street, Franksville, Yum Yum Donuts, and the two commercial buildings on the east side of Clark south of Addison. The Standard Condenser building is now part of the expanded Cubby Bear sports bar complex.
The roadbed for the tracks was built up on cork with cardstock for the top layer and thinly cut strips of polystyrene for the spaces between the flangeways to simulate street trackage. By this date the Milwaukee Road had abandoned the southbound main in this area and used just the former northbound main. I tried to show an out of service track that is partly paved over for the former southbound main.
The cantilevered grade crossing signals are from NJ International. The track is Atlas as is the SW-1200 that Bill Denton custom painted for me in the number of an actual unit that was photographed by the Wrigley Field team track on one of the last days of service.
This view is a close-up of the outside of Wrigley Field looking in through the chain link fence, ramps, and beams. I used a photo of the outfield printed with an inkjet printer to simulate looking through an opening.
Normalissime scale, di un edificio per uffici.
Eppure mi ci sono come affezionato.
Sono le scale che ho visto, ogni giorno, dalla finestra della camera di Ale in via Saldini, nel periodo in cui mi sono trasferito da lui per completare la nostra tesi di laurea...
E sono sempre lì, di giorno in penombra e di sera in negativo, che giocano coi pattern della facciata.
Ieri le ho riviste e me le sono portate a casa :)
Wasdale trip photo's. Plan was to camp two nights at the Wasdale head national trust campsite. Get photo's of sunset, sunrise nad night time, from various locations in this area. Two climbers can be seen climbing one of the ridges on Great Gable. I used to have a guide book with all the names of these routes, not that I did them. The most I did was the climbers traverse scramble and then threading the needle.
I love the scale of this shot. Just love it! I'm proud of myself here. Lucked out on the focus since I was laying where C is facing me and I put the camera above my head to get the shot. Luckily the IV was in my non-shooting hand. ;)

Thank you all for your kind words and visits. Being the mother to a 2nd child is easier in the sense that you are more familiar with what to do, how to do it, etc... but being the mom to 2 is WOW... I'm trying my hardest to make sure A doesn't feel left out or neglected. So far so good, though at bedtime tonight I was putting them both down at the same time. A seemed bothered that I had her in my arms while we read but I just tried to encourage her to help me read to her.
A few of the better photos from the birth. I didn't get any of the "money" shots I wanted but since it was just the 2 of us and it all happened so quick I can't blame D. He did a fine job. I did see the most amazing shot as I was giving birth... Crazy huh. She looked right at me when she first came out. It was amazing! A special photo I'll always hold in my mind and my heart.
Pineapple had her 2 day check up today and lost only a few pounds at 6 lbs, 11.3 oz (not bad for a bf baby). She is looking a bit jaundiced but the Doc said jaundice tends to peak at day 3 (today) but did have us do a bilirubin test. I'm now nursing around the clock. Every 1.5 hours (or 2 when I'm lucky) which means I'm either changing a wet diaper or burping her somewhere in between.
But boy the hardest part of today was getting 2 kids fed, dressed, and out the door for a 10:10 Dr. Appointment. I hate to be late and we were only late by 5 or so minutes but definitely something I don't look forward to doing again soon.
I switched the camera to ISO auto and left it in P mode for D. I'm not even sure he figured out that he could zoom with the 18-55 lens? The BW don't really "match" but at 2:30 am with a baby on my arm you'll have to pardon that.
This is a 1:16 scale Display/Trade Show model of M1A2 Abrams tank equipped with performance enhancing applications.
In order to speed up the production and save money for our client we used a number of off-shelf parts, which were upgraded and modified to look worthy of a large scale trade show model. Custom and customized parts of the model were developed digitally and produced by SLA and SLS with some amount of manual fabrication.
As per customer's request the model's finish includes slight wear and dust to make the model more "in action looking".
After digital development and upon receiving the custom parts the model was produced in a record time of just 1.5 weeks.
The model is mounted on a mahogany finished base with clear protective cover and accompanied by custom transit case.
Right after the completion the model made its first appearance at 2012 AUSA show in Washington DC and, along with other model made for the same client, received recognition and very positive feedbacks for accuracy, high level of detailing and presentation value.
This fall my sister went to an estate sale and bought me a grab-bag box of HO scale freight cars on the cheap. Inside the box was a Con-Cor 40 plug door boxcar lettered for PFE. After some research I found prototype photos of this rare type of PS-1 boxcar with PVYX reporting marks.
Using the photos, I made decals in Abode Illustrator, printed on Testors paper with water-safe inks. The car also got seperate ladders, tack boards, brake wheel lines, grab irons and steps, along with scratchbuilt airhoses and uncoupling levers. The lube plates and ACI tags are Microscale decals. The car also has Kadee 58s and metal semiscale 33" wheels.
While the batmobile of any incarnation has always been larger then a typical car. This photo I feel shows that while they are still larger then a typical Lego set car. They are scaled more appropriately.
Two guys from facebook had an interesting talk about how they scale their platform to several hundred million users.
Inverted scales to gauge the level of water in the tanks. The fire fighting tank and mechanical system are essential in the running of a big complex. A snap with the M3 and the Nokton Classin 40/1.4 MC, Fujifilm Reala 100 is good for reds.

In 1865, German immigrants Meyer Hirsch and Jacob Schwabacher started The American Cutlery Company. Around the turn of the century they introduced a line of scales known as the American Family Scale. Their scale soon became the leading brand of household scale in the country. Around 1928 it was decided to spin of the scale line and the American Scale Company was born. The scale sold for 83 cents in 1902 and by 1924 the Sears Catalog had it listed for $2.65. The example above is known as the 1906 model. Often being mistaken for the date of manufacture it is one of the first "retro" items being modeled after the scale version sold in 1906. The scale above actually dates from the mid 40's to mid 50's.
