Believe it or not, this is built out of two one litre milk cartons, a straw, and guitar string ends. Most of my 72nd scale armour will fit in it, but it's really a civvy craft very loosely based on ones used here on the West Coast of British Columbia. It's not quite finished yet, though, as it still needs fiddly bits, like rope and more rope, bumpers, etc. Eventually it will feature in a scale island diorama percolating in my noggin, heh heh.......

W. Butcher & Sons Carbine nº 3a Quarter Plate folding camera with Aldis Uno Anastigmat f/7.7 (to f/45) set in a Lukos II shutter (25, 50, 100, B, T).
The camera has a dual back that accepts either 122 format film or a plate back. Both camera body and back have matching serial numbers (B42082). A wooden take-up 122 film spool (Kodak) is included.
The unit seems to date to roughly around World War I. A unit shown in a 1914 catalogue, which list this shutter and lens combination for the quarter plate format has minor differences, in particular the finger holds for pulling out the front standard.
A neat touch is a small padded section on the front door that protects the lens when the camera is closed
The camera carries the model name (Carbine Nº 3a) embossed into the leather handle, but is badged with a metal tag reading "Carbine J.W.Small Australia" on one side and on the other carries the metal tag "T.A. Dickson Photographic Stores Geelong".
J.W. Small was a 'camera supply store' in business from about 1871 to the 1920s, with successors operating until after World War II. At the time this camera was distributed, J.W. Small had stores in Sydney and Melbourne.
T.A. Dickson was a chemist in Geelong who sold photographic supplies in quantities, but it would appear as a side-line to his pharmaceutical interests.

(See links). The first settlers arrived in Elkmont in the mid-1800s. They were homesteaders, hunters, and small-scale loggers, and they formed a community along the Little River. Logging would eventually grow to be a huge industry in town. Lumber from ash, poplar, cherry, and hemlock trees was sent down the river to Knoxville to be processed. Elkmont proper was formally established in 1907.
Elkmont - Roadtrippers.com
Elkmont is a region situated in the upper Little River Valley of the Great Smoky Mountains of Sevier County, in Tennessee. Throughout its history, the valley has been home to a pioneer Appalachian community, a logging town, and a resort community. Have you ever visited the abandoned resort town in the Smoky Mountains? What was once a booming logging camp and resort town for wealthy vacationers slowly became a ghost town. Considered now to be one of the hidden gems in the Smokies, visitors love exploring the abandoned area.

How do I get to Elkmont Ghost Town? Elkmont Ghost Town isn't hard to find! To get there, take US-411 from Gatlinburg to the Sugarlands Visitor Center. Drive toward Cades Cove for about 7 miles until you see a sign for Elkmont Campground. You'll turn here until you see the ranger station about 4 miles down the road. Elkmont is 8 miles / 15 minutes from Gatlinburg.
How Elkmont Became a Ghost Town - When the national park was established in 1934, residents had to decide whether they would sell their homes for full value and relocate right away, or they could sell their properties to the National Park Service for a discounted price and get to stay in their homes for the remainder of their lifetime. Most of the leases expired in 1992, so the Great Smoky Mountains National Park had about 70 historic buildings with no one to maintain them. Because there was no one to take care of the cabins, they started to deteriorate. The large number of abandoned buildings eventually led to the town being called “Elkmont Ghost Town.”

I've drawn the outline of the 40 foot figure on the side of the studio building. it comes near to the top.
___
- Marco told me that they couldn't set up the 40 foot figure inside the studio. he said the head would barely fit inside the dome but the rafters would interfere with the shoulders and the left arm.

- Lloyd says it is a little smaller than the building.
- the building is shaped like an airplane hanger but there is no big door on the other side. it was a Navy warehouse, probably.
- for scale, that's my beautiful red car- a gift from my Mother.
When it's not escorting helium cars this usaf hopper can be spotted moving loads of sand or ballast on the USAF's property on Cape Canaveral. This load of sand was dredged from the various waterways of the facility allowed to dry and then transported to individual launch complexes for use in/on the complex's blast house.
Just my shot at creating an imaginary scenario as a description
In reality sand was dredged but the dredged sand was used to create the land that the titan 3's launch complex sits on
Yipee! My flickr friend nebulon9 has sent a replacement pair of scales for my Swiss Army Knife all the way from Sacramento in California. That's the power of flickr :-)
If you get a chance to visit Hoover Dam, make sure you check this Bronze Sculpture of High Scaler who built this dam. I have done quite a bit of rock climbing years ago and after seeing what kind of harness these guys used, makes me wonder the kind of working condition they were in. I can't imagine hanging in one these primitive support system in hours at scorching dessert heat. These folks were tough like a nail, no doubt!
