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.
My own weight went already 2.5kg down since Dec.27th. Though, it may be one of those scales that lie.

The recently released MP-56 is Trailbreaker, the character that I honestly barely remember being on the show. I remember his G1 toy though.. everyone always kept losing the fists.
Trailbreaker is an officially licensed Toyota Hilux, a vehicle that I've never actually seen in real life. Mind ou, Toyotas were really scarce here in Canada back in the 80s, and it's not like this particular model has a cult following like the Celica did. There are options to make the vehicle mode more toon accurate, which would involve swapping the front bumper piece and adding some stickers, but since my sticker game is terrible I opted to pass on this little endeavor. There's also a little radar dish you can attach to the roof of the vehicle mode.
One immediate thing that fascinated me was that this figure was "Made in China", which means it's not made in the same factory as those horrible Unified Product lines. Also fascinating is the fact that "Made is China" is printed on a sticker and stuck on the box.
Transformation into robot mode is relatively straight forward, though the backpack gave me a bit of trouble due to my inability to read Japanese - eventually figured it out that you needed to deform the rear end of the car a bit to make things connect.
Much like the classic 80's toy, this figure is pretty much all leg. It's actually pretty impressive how tall Trailbreaker is compared to his work friends. I can't remember if the scale is accurate, but I'll presume that Takara did their homework.
Bot mode looks goofy, but in a good way. Lets be honest here - the 80s on screen models weren't exactly works of art, and I feel Takara did a great job at capturing that on this toy. The head is... something else. I know some people were complaining about the size of the chin and other things, but at the end of the day it's nowhere as bad as what we got for MP Ironhide and Ratchet. I'm pretty sure the on screen model didn't have the backpack, but that's basically life of transforming figures without parts forming.
Accessory wise it's decent, but not exactly blowing my mind. You get two additional faces, an additional chromed weapon swap out on the arm, and of course his other hand. There's also a blast effect which is an Acid Spray IIRC.
Articulation is actually pretty good, though the bulk of the torso does interfere with things. Lower body features great range of motion, and there's even an ab crunch type of deal. The shoulders and neck need some more love though. They're functional, yes, but not what I'd expect from a MP level transformer.
Overall, Trailbreaker offers a play experience towards the higher end of MP figures, which makes sense given the MSRP of almost 22,000 Yen, though you'd be insane to actually spend that amount on this figure. It's definitely a more impressive toy than the budget priced Skids, but I have to say that at this price point it's not as good as earlier releases like Sunstreaker and Inferno.

Yay! It's finally done!
Designed and folded by me, Chad Killeen. Folded from one uncut square of paper.
This one took quite some time to make, not the whole folding process, but MC takes a while to dry :)
This one has a few modifacations from my previous one, nothing serious, just a few modifacations in a few places.
A scaled down model of a sailing ship near the sea front at Lynmouth in Devon. Not sure what ship is is, the word Loire is written on the ship and although many French ships have had that name I am not sure what the connection is here.

I found some super tiny scale mail on the Ring Lord website and decided to give some miniature pieces a try. This is the first prototype for a scale mail bikini top for a MSD ball jointed doll. These dolls are about 1/4th scale to human size.
This project took about 7 hours, but I was teaching myself as I went along so I imagine as I get better at this process that future bikini tops wont take as long. The most difficult part was adding stabilizing rings to the bottom edges of the triangles as, as this scale, the rings are so small that they are barely wide enough to hold the extra rings and the scales at the same time. If I can get the hang of this in a more timely manner, I will offer some of these in my shop when I am ready to re-open it. As for now, though, I have barely enough time to get prototypes and chores done while working full time and school is starting this next week so who knows if I'll be able to get much else made.
Here Danny is modeling for me, Daenerys is an Iplehouse Cecile head on a Doll Legend MSD body. I made her yarn dread wig, all her jewelry and her velvet skirt myself. Her eyes are custom made from: www.safrindoll.com/ Her face up and body blushing were done by TatsuKitty from Den of Angels.
I've been wanting to take pictures of my teeny tiny Silverbeam ponies for a while now :) they are perfectly 1:4 scaled. I hope the colors on these turned out okay, I edited them on my laptop and its a color gank :/
This railtrack scale is located at Kepa Zawadowska in Warsaw enroute to the EC Siekierki heat- and powerplant. It is built into the track and measures the weight of 4-axle cars, which bring coal to EC Siekierki. The speed at the scale must be reduced to 3 to 5 km/h max. to allow proper operation. The length of the measuring track is exactly to match the Eaos/Eas railcars' length.
Those aren't leaves. The cormorants are back, and nesting on the Leslie spit.
Ever get the feeling you're being watched?
