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).
A single seater fighter and a cargo transport, and guess which is bigger?
Both 1/72 scale
The scale in my local chemist, Cloyne Care Plus. It is fairly accurate, gives same weight as my home digital scale. It has a coin slot, but no money needed. These large stand on scales are becoming rare, this one is before the Euro. It offers weight in stones = 14 pounds for each.
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.

McLaren F1 - Built for the "100th LUGNuts Challenge"... with a little artistic license... (just squint your eyes, and you'll see the resemblance)...
"On 31 March 1998, it set the record for the world's fastest production car, reaching 231 mph (372 km/h) with the rev limiter enabled, and 242.8 mph (390.7 km/h) with the rev limiter removed."
What scale you ask? Why at "lint scale" of course! (Don't zoom in. It'll only make you cry.)
After Several Months Of Ill Health,Bad Weather And Loss Of Interest, I Was Finally Persuaded To Venture Out By My Good Friend Kevin Shaw, Ended Up In Hebden Near Scale Haw Force In North Yorkshire, Which Was Ideal As It Involved Very Little Walking.. This Might Be A Nice Little Waterfall To Visit In The Autumn Where More Colour Will Be Available.Thanks For Taking The Time To View My First Post In (Unbelievably)Eight Months.

An O-Scale model of the Canadian Pacific H1b Class Hudson Locomotive #2816 provides a graphic, side by side comparison of 1/4" to the foot railroading vs. the 12" to the foot variety utilized by CPKC. This image was captured during CP #2816's public display in Shreveport, LA on May 24th of 2024, as part of CPKC's "Final Spike Steam Tour." The nicely-detailed model was provided by a 2816 fan, who brought it to the exhibit at the Shreveport Yard specifically to make photos similar to this one. The model was manufactured prior to the real 2816's most recent restoration, in which the boiler jacket was painted a somewhat darker gray color than it had been previously, which explains the apparent color difference between the model and the actual locomotive.
testing out the focus calibration on the Lubitel 166b. This shot taken at 2m mark on the scale at f3.5. Everything lined up perfectly which was a surprise. I often wondered what to trust my eye (in the not so easy focus magnifier) or the distance scale.
It is clear to me now I should trust the distance scale.
While in the middle of a new project, it became clear that a stairway was necessary for part of the model.
I turned to the Web and studied how real stairs are constructed.
Gotta love the Web!
The most important part, I found out, was keeping everything inline and symmetrical. Enter the "jig" that the stairs were built upon. Nothing fancy; just a block of wood that was the correct width and length.
By taping the stringers [ the side part of the stairs ] to that wood, everything remained stable so the stair treads could be glued in place. Once everything was dried and set, the whole unit could be removed without any problems; and it's surprisingly sturdy.
Just wanted to share this!
By the way, the wood I use is Basswood. Stronger and more dense than balsa wood.
While taking this shot, I was considering that the goal at the top of the wall might be weak. It should be something more compelling then a chocolate bar. While discussing this with my daughter I asked, "who would scale a wall for a chocolate?" She replied "Well, I definitely would" So chocolate it remained.

Sibley's describes these as "uncommon". He's right! ;-)
Taken in one of the Martin Ranch superb blinds - that's a full-frame crop... he is that close.
Too bad I didn't have fill flash.
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?
