So, here's a micro megatron to go witth my Optimus. Contains 41 pieces and completely transforms from robot to tank without removing or adding parts (except the cannon).
One thing that is always surprising me when building models in the same scale is when you see them side by side, especially from different eras. My latest, the YF-23 next to my C-47 (also undergoing upgrades).

I never realized how many interesting buildings and views there are in the town I live in until I seriously started to scout around for backgrounds.
The one thing I have to do is wait until the shops close so there aren't any cars or trucks mixing in with the Elgin Park vibe.
Usually early in the morning or on the weekends is the best time.
The Holidays, though, are great because everyone leaves town so the streets tend to be empty.
When I was young, I would purposely take walks by way of short cuts and back alleys to avoid seeing people. It gave me the impression that I was the only person around.
But I must add here, I liked the fact that I could walk by an open window and hear a radio or a muted conversation, or off in the distance I could hear a train rolling by.
How interesting that decades later I would be photographing such scenes.
I know, I know, perhaps I should see a therapist. Actually I did but there were no inroads made on this particular subject.
Just think, if there were, Elgin Park might not exist!
Now that's a scary thought.
Here is the completed image:
Le scale non sono il mio soggetto preferito, anche perchè non sono bravo come Stefano in questo genere fotografico. Mi è capitata però questa scala che sembrava mi invitasse a fotografarla. Troppo pigro per "scalarla", ho deciso allora di fotografarla da sotto, dal pianoterra.

Can not do justice to the bold color selection he is known for but I wanted to do a roughly Blacktronized version and the other with colors I had on hand.

The EF76 Nebulon-B Frigate has to be one of my favorite ships from the original trilogy. After rewatching the beautiful ending scene in Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, I decided to take on the Midi-Scale challenge once again.
This very compact model is made of 1,464 pieces and measures 48cm. With this design, I tried to maximize the density factor in the smallest, most convenient size possible.
The Nebulon-B features a movie-accurate, fully asymmetrical design, from side panels to greebles and surface detail. It also includes cannons, sensors, an accurate and intricate bridge section, a streamlined water tank, and many small details seen on the original ship.
Reproducing the various front assemblies, small buildings in the back and all the greebles around the engine section took lots of fine-tuning, mindful part choices, and fun gap-filling sessions to closely match the ILM prop model.
The building process isn't too long nor complex: I once again went for a fully modular approach, and the reasonable part count makes it both a manageable and relatively affordable build.
The EF76 comes with a wide built-in stand and can be moved around easily. It can even be grabbed and held by its long middle section which is made of a sturdy technic liftarm configuration.
► Instructions for the Nebulon-B are available at BrickVault!
This is my micro scale lego star wars Krennic's Shuttle in its flying form. I absolutely love this shuttle in this form.
The kettle did boil, I forgot all about it. I think that's a blond thing lol.
I was planning on doing some washing tomorrow but it looks like it will rain all weekend so I wont be able to get it dry so it will have to wait.

A sole visitor walks on the plateau in front of Ad Deir, the so-called Monastery, in Petra, Jordan. The impressive façade of 47 m width and 48 m height, and the large hall behind it were carved deeply out of the mountain around the mid-1st century AD. The Arabic name "Ad Deir" (the Monastery) was given to the place by native Bedouins because of the crosses inscribed on the interior back wall during its Christian use in Byzantine times. The upper order with the broken (open) pediment, which frames a circular tholos structure with a conic roof crowned by an urn, follows the model of the Khazneh (Treasury). But the large hall contained no tombs, and traces of a later removed betyl were found in the raised niche of the back wall together with flat wide benches on both sides of the rock chamber, suggesting that Ad Deir was a cultic place rather than a mausoleum.
As America takes pause to spend time with family and give thanks for the fact that we can over-eat in this country, Mr Hendricks and Mr Patchett would like to give thanks for all those who work to preserve our cultural heritage.
Thanks to all who bring important buildings like the Bosler House back to life. Thanks to those who restore furniture and early appliances. Thanks to those folks who keep “retro” fashions of all kinds in the public imagination. Thanks to those who keep the memory of orphan car brands alive and the people who still know how to keep them running. Thanks to the skillful Chinese craftsmen who made the models we photograph in order to take you on our nostalgic time travel adventures.
Thanks to all of you for the kind comments and views you have given us over the past couple of years.
Happy Thanksgiving from one24thscale!

Hi everyone!
I´m happy that I can present my newest creation! It´s the next piece of my minifig scaled RC collection. This time I decided to build a Flixbus. After Flixbus bought the rivalry Eurolines, it became maybe the cheapest way for poor students from Hungary (or not only from Hungary) to travel across Europe. At least for me it was the perfect method at that time! Hope you like it!
Unfortunately the last time I travelled somewhere by a Flixbus was in August 2019. But hopefully it will change in the near future!
Flixbus came often in the middle of the night, just as the Knight Bus did in Harry Potter. That´s why it stands on the destination screen :)
Before you start reading about the boring technical facts and irritating things during the building period, please watch the video!
It took approx 4 months long to build the bus. It´s not the first tiny RC I build. Despite of it I can´t say it didn´t challenge me. Yes, I´m speaking about the lettering and arrows on the sides. Maybe you still remember of the Milka Truck. That lettering has only vertical or horizontal building techniques. That´s why it was possible to do the lettering on each side only 1 stud deep. It was important, because it allowed to put the battery box (the biggest and most inflexible element) between the two walls and staying with the width in 6 studs at the same time. But “FLIXBUS” is more difficult. It is also not always possible to have stud connections (for example letter X, or the diagonal arrows). In this case the letters have to have inside some bigger parts on them, which simply doesn’t allow them to fall out. It means it stays only a two-stud wide space in the middle. That’s enough for the technic chassis, but not for the batteries. And also not for the motors… So only the half of the lengths stayed for the functional parts.
For the steering and propulsion I stole the method from the Milka truck (with vertical motors), where they´ve already proven, that they work really well. The only possible (long enough) space for the battery box was at the back. Fortunately right above the driven wheels. They need the weight on them to increase the friction between the tires and the street. Another positive feature is, that the Sbrick is small enough to be above the letters, so I didn´t have to make the whole bus longer.
Another part of the challenge was to create the diagonal white lines on the front. There was almost nothing inside, which they could be attached to. The reason is, that the moving parts of the steering are there, so it´s simply impossible to put there any other parts without disablement of the steering. Other reason is, that the upside-down parts of the front have already used the space there. At the end I decided to use the rubber bands, without being irritated by the fact, that it´s possible to see them outside, too.
The bus has three axles. The third one is again an axle with some kind of fake suspension. It is just hanging there and doesn´t hold anything, so in theory it can never happen, that the driven wheels leave the ground. Please notice the detail that there are brackets instead of plates on the top of the third mudguards. It creates a bit bigger space in the mudguard for the wheels with the fake suspension. It means, that the bus can win against bigger obstructions.
All in all I really enjoyed working on the bus. Hope you like the result, too! Thanks for watching and reading!
