An old Toledo scale, abandoned winery.
According to this scale I weighed a whooping 10,190lbs.
I think it's time for a diet.
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?
Trying to get the scale right on my greebling.
I'm trying to make a pair of control tower/room/building and an antenna station/building/complex in different scales to find the right scale.
For those of you who thought I forgot about the Star Wars theme, here's a little something from the prequals/Clone Wars, a couple AT-RTs. Ever since I started working in this scale, I've wanted to attempt some vehicles. I will be posting a few color variations in the next few days too.

This little chap let me photograph him for quite some time; tolerant yet wary. I've thought about posting this one a time or two, but always skipped over it. Looks like today's the day.
this is one of 13 pics (!!!) discussing a bit minifig scale, focusing on reviving a car scale smaller than 6 wide in a fashion similar to the classic town 4 wide scale.
Scroll through the pics for a full read up if interested.
This is all my own opinion based on historic facts found in documentaries, interviews and the web. Its a suggestion in total, so pls dont feel offended if i hint out that Speed Champion usgage for professional AFOL layouts is a bit wrong ^^ I also want to set focus on a new building technique for cars that i call the "bar n clip" / "no fig".
Hope you enjoy, feedback and even heavy critique welcome and apprectiated :)
Ensign Scale Insect, possibly Orthezia urticae (Nettle Ensign Scale) or Newsteadia floccosa (Boreal Ensign Scale); visually it more closely resembles the former, though its habitat (amongst the moss at the base of a field maple tree) is more suggestive of the latter. One of several found at the same site. Monks Wood NNR, Sawtry, Cambridgeshire. October 6, 2020.
Quite a heavy crop, so beware of enlarging.
Dr. Venom has captured the Sea Adventurer, to use his DNA to create another Super Intruder. The Adventure Team Commander Joe Colton has infiltrated Dr. venoms compound. Colton doesn't realize someone has entered the room behind him.
Venom: To what do I owe this pleasure.
Colton spins around gun drawn
Colton: Venom!
Venom: Yes Joe, now I have two Adventure Team members for my experiment.
Colton: No you don't! I'm taking the Sea Adventurer with me. Your evil plans are through Venom!
Will Colton be able to save the Sea Adventurer or will Dr. Venom prevail?

I have used a circular cutter to make 180 degree cuts in 0.040 inch styrene sheet for a couple of tunnel portals that I will install on my N scale model railroad. The cutter is made by Olfa, and I purchased it at a local art supply store rather than a hobby shop that sells train stuff. Art supply stores sell lots of tools, paints, craft items, and materials useful to a model railroader. The circular cutter has a strong, sharp compass point that is mounted on a sturdy head which has an adjustment screw. By loosening the screw, a horizontal beam can slide in or out a variable distance from the center point and then be locked down at the desired distance. The replaceable cutting blade (held into place by another screw) is mounted on the horizontal beam.
Nobody makes an N scale tunnel portal the size and shape that I want, so I had to cut my own. The tunnel opening has a radius of 8 ½ scale feet from the track center line, so that is what I set on my circular cutter. The straight vertical dimension for each side is 20 scale feet above the top on the rails plus another 3 feet for the height of the rails, crossties, and roadbed. Both of the vertical sides have to be exactly tangent to the semicircle above, so determining where to position my straight edge for the first side was the trickiest part of the whole project. From that line, I used a steel drafting triangle (also purchased from the art supply store) to place the cutting point and center compass point. I swung a 180 degree arc to locate the position of the other vertical side. My N scale ruler (shown here) is 10 scale feet wide, so my first vertical cut was 10 scale feet from the edge of the styrene sheet. After the circular cut and both vertical cuts were completely through the plastic, I could easily remove the excess from each side.
Figuring the geometry of where to position my circular cutter and the straight edge to guide my razor blade required a lot of thought before doing any of the actual cutting. Once I began cutting, I had to be careful to keep my blades in the right places, but the cutting itself was very repetitive and time consuming. Each tunnel portal required an hour or two of MANY short, little cuts before I broke through the plastic sheet. Then there was sanding to smooth it out and trimming the overall piece to fit the future mountain that I haven’t built yet. This photo shows the positioning of the circular cutter, but I took the photo after the job was done (and my nails repainted). For all this cutting, I used my Dupli-Cutter to hold my work in place. The Dupli-Cutter has clamps that can be positioned in several places, an adjustable slide sheet held down by the clamps, and a frame whose jaws can be opened up to hold various thicknesses of plastic for making precise, square cuts.
I photographed this scene on the Bayou City & Gulf RR to give me some ideas about building a small stockyard for my model railroad. This model railroad in located in the back room of Houston's best hobby shop, Papa Ben's. I have been a customer of Papa Ben's even since he opened in 2002. That layout is open to the public most Saturday afternoons.
The stockyard I am planning on building will be based on a Santa Fe Railway prototype and will measure 65' x 65' scale feet. That is assuming I can get enough of the right scale lumber (in styrene strips) to construct the very delicate fences. This stockyard isn't completely accurate but has a good feel about it. Another modeler in Houston had several very good stockyards in N scale, but he got bored with his huge layout and tore it up. Oh well. Pictures on that layout plus another Santa Fe layout in HO scale with excellent stockyards are located in this same album for other modelers' work.

So, these are my 3 most recent builds. Since my aim is building after the real world data to have them all "fitting" to each other, its always interesting to actually see the results and check if it works like that^^
Its really strange how small the Transporter looks next to the cars, but its even more crazy just how long and wide supercars are compared to standard vehicles. Also, the T3 is a vintage car and back in a day, european vehicles were more narrow and small. Today i saw a bmw i8 next to the bigger T4 multivan on a parking lot. Its crazy how much space the bmw used for 2 drivers only, while a van is really economic and space saving^^
Whats cooler though, is that my variety of cars is finally growing :P

This little ditty is divided into 5 parts on one side and 11 on the other. Each unit is 15/16th of an inch (23.8mm) and half of that on the reverse. The region where I purchased this from is Württemberg, where the Reichsfuß was a common unit of measurement. If the Reichsfuß was divided into 12 parts then this scale is divided into Zoll (inch) and 12 Zoll will equal one Fuss 11.26 inches (286 mm) which it does. This assumes a couple of things:" 1) the scale has remained in the Stuttgart region, and 2) the Reichsfuß was divided by 12.
The only distinctive markings is the number 1 which looks very much like a lower case j.
I have no way of really dating this without a comparable scale.
