1/76 scale version of a previously familiar sight to Dundonians and visitors to the city.
On the right, a Strathtay service bus. Sadly since bought over by Stagecoach, the Strathtay name has all but disappeared now. Following the takeover, the Strathtay name was given primacy, however quickly became Stagecoach in Strathtay and now simply Stagecoach. Remembered in its former glory is a model of their Volvo Wright Renown, shown here with a driver placed insitu and with the Destination board showing Service 73 for Dundee City Centre via Broughty Ferry. Strathtay was a more wider ranging operator, having taken over a significant portion of the former Northern Scottish, and Midland Scottish territory post privatisation. Strathtay ran from Dundee’s Seagate Bus Station, with Travel Dundee not having access, as well as from Arbroath, Montrose, Forfar, Kirriemuir (Meffans) and Blairgowrie.
Travel Dundee/NatEx Dundee are shown here with their Wright Eclipse Gemini double decker. This model, true to life, has route branding for the “Discovery Line” on Services 28 & 29. These routes cut directly across Dundee, starting from Douglas in the North East, via - ASDA Milton, Arbroath Road, City Centre, Lochee, Liff Rd (28), South Rd (28) and to Charleston. With the 29 running evenings only, extending down to the Technology Park between Ninewells and the Tay Riverfront.
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 the aforementioned Eastern Mistletoe (Phoradendron leucarpum; Durham NC, USA), I was pleased to find:

A helpful entomologist on Facebook identifies as:
Brown Soft Scale - Coccus hesperidum
Some of the scale insects have been parasitized by wasps, so we have a hemiparasitic plant, a parasitic insect of that plant, and a parasite of that insect--parasites all the way down.
even voor de duidelijkheid... lift en geluid zijn onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden.
ga maar eens naar het van Abbemuseum... :)
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.
The Doll Project is a series of conceptual digital photographs that uses fashion dolls to embody the negative messages the media gives to young girls. Though it would not be fair to blame it all on Barbie, there have been many instances in which she has come dangerously close. I chose to use Barbie dolls because they are miniature mannequins, emblems of the fashion world writ small, a representation of our culture's impossible standards of beauty scaled to one sixth actual size. The little pink scale and How To Lose Weight book are both real Barbie accessories from the 1960s. They are recurring motifs in the pictures in the series, symbolizing the ongoing dissatisfaction many girls and women feel about their weight and body image. The dolls' names, Ana and Mia, are taken from internet neologisms coined by anorexic and bulimic girls who have formed online communities with the unfortunate purpose of encouraging each other in their disordered eating. With each passing era, Ana and Mia are younger and younger, and the physical ideal to which they aspire becomes more unattainable. They internalize the unrealistic expectations of a society that digitally manipulates images of women in fashion and beauty advertisements and value their own bodies only as objects for others to look at and desire.

Imperial Japanese Navy Aircraft-Carrier Zuikaku - Nichimo 1:500 scale model kit made in the 70s.
Using my pinnacle level of model making skill, transforming this 30 years old crappy model into this.
I am about to release my self-publication about making this model in EBay.
Maisto Ford Focus MK3 ST seen here in its latest recolour with a tiny bit of added detailing via a black Sharpie pen. Budget aimed hence its lack of interior but nicely replicated and a vehicle choice rarely seen in this scale and price point oddly. Part of a 20 vehicle set found recently in a French Geant Casino. Mint and boxed.
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.

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.
