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.
This is a 1/43 scale 1957 Ferrari 250GT California Spider model car from Ixo, photographed in front of a backdrop of the Chicago skyline that's actually a screencap straight from the classic 1986 John Hughes film Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
It's not a perfect match for the 250GT California from the movie (which was a replica anyway), but it's closer than my other 250GT model, a 1/18 scale 100% Hot Wheels Ferrari 250 GT California that's supposed to be the 1961 version.

Keith Weesner is by far one of the coolest artists out there. Just can't get enough of his art. Please check it out sometime.
The finished scale... well mostly. Still needs holes drilled for the pins. That will come after it has been mounted though.
I have to say though, bone is kick ass looking once it has been polished. Like ivory. I rubbed a little ink into it to bring out some of the character.
The interior is taking shape. The characteristic holes in the floor have been drilled and the floor panels glued in. The engine room has been covered with plywood.
Found during a night hike in Iwokrama rainforest reserve.
For a greater selection of photos which include different angles and species ask by pm to be added to my friend's list.
Yesterday the tire flew off my minibus, I cut the head off a pit viper and I was banned from a commercial flight by associating with a narco-trafficker. Today I am bushwhacking through the jungle in the remote trail-less backwaters of Guyana, waist deep in water and praying to make it through the rest of the day alive. What will tomorrow bring? God only knows. The adventure starts here- pbertner.wordpress.com/.
This is a MASSIVE lift (that little square section on the back wall is what you drive Land Rovers through).
Chameleon species have in common their foot structure, eyes, lack of ears, and tongue.
Chameleons are didactylic: on each foot the five toes are fused into a group of two and a group of three, giving the foot a tongs-like appearance. These specialized feet allow chameleons to grip tightly to narrow branches. Each toe is equipped with a sharp claw to gain traction on surfaces such as bark when climbing.
Their eyes are the most distinctive among the reptiles. The upper and lower eyelids are joined, with only a pinhole large enough for the pupil to see through. They can rotate and focus separately to observe two different objects simultaneously. It in effect gives them a full 360-degree arc of vision around their body.
They lack a vomeronasal organ. Like snakes, they do not have an outer or a middle ear. This suggests that chameleons might be deaf!
Chameleons have very long tongues (sometimes longer than their own body length) which they are capable of rapidly extending out of the mouth. The tongue extends out faster than human eyes can follow, at around 26 body lengths per second. The tongue hits the prey in about 30 thousandths of a second. The tongue has a sticky tip on the end, which serves to catch prey items. The tongue's tip is a bulbous ball of muscle, and as it hits its prey, it rapidly forms a small suction cup. Once the tongue sticks to a prey item, it is drawn quickly back into the mouth, where the chameleon's strong jaws crush it and it is consumed.
