Added 2 new 50' DAF flat cars to the NASA fleet, I've got a few possible plans for these: Titan SRB segment flatcars (working on getting these designed but it will take some time), a fictitious V-2 (or bumper, I haven't decided yet) transport consist or having these just be spacers. My next project that randy will be doing for me is related to this (FM is on the list but not this season) Any guesses?
Se me olvidó comentar que el aro que lleva en la oreja izquierda lo rehice con uno hecho de alambre. En esta imagen vemos claramente la altura que ahora tiene el brazo izquierdo, mientras que antes le llegaba hasta el suelo, y de esa manera antes era lo que mantenía erguida la figura. Las patas las rellené con escayola hasta una altura aproximada de tres dedos, para que los tubos de latón que insertara y que fijaría la figura a la base quedaran bien firmes. Alrededor de las patas le coloqué una plancha de poliestireno expandido.

Well we picked up some more scape people and hit the Bellevue Botanical Garden for some fun. I really like the protestors, and the portable toilet that Sherri picked out really made this a great scene.

Day 26 of 366
Can you guess what this is? Here is a hint...I went into Tandy Leather today. They are located in the store front next to where I get my hair cut. I was super busy today running errands and I thought maybe they might have something interesting to photograph for my post today.
This is a python skin. They told me it was the real deal. Lots of other skins too...including a small alligator skin which I also took a shot of. Most of the hides were cattle (some painted to look like exotic animals) and LOTS of leather (no surprise there!) Handy iPhone to the rescue (again!). It looks like a black and white shot, but actually this is the real colors.
Some old Post Office scales we have as my wife runs the Post Office here in out town. I'm really liking the dramatic black and white filter built into the e-m5. I'll be honest, I've never really used in built filters on a camera before but there are a couple of pretty decent ones with the e-m5.
Im test folding scales to my next desing, scaled dragon. In real version grid would be two or three times smaller.

HO Scale 1:87
Its been a while since I did this kind of work. I recently aquirred some plastic HO scale model freight cars from a friend who found them on freecycle. The plastic model was weathered using artist oils, acrylic paint, pastel chalk..drybrush and washes...i forgot how much fun this is
and remember: "rust never sleeps"
Part of my project to 'accurize' the basic Armourfast 1:72 M4 Sherman kit, I have now applied teh basic paint coat and glossed the model ready to apply the decals. Paints used were Humbrol's Light Olive spray paint and thier gloss varnish spray, but I also paint the tracks with a base coat of Tamiya's Flat Black acrylic.
In this basic olive drab colour you can now perhaps see the modifications and improvements which I have made more clearly. Unfortunately the very simple one-piece tracks will never really be terrific and there isn't all that much you can do to improve them (IMHO). But all in all I think this project just goes to show that with a bit of work even a very simple kit can be made to capture teh spirit of the original.
