Mostly farm house shabby chic, just ignore that one 'classy' poster of a lady with a baked potato snatch
Went with Testors "Ford Grabber Orange" paint and about 4 coats of clear polished.
Added the antenna and plug wires. Also scratch made the air intake hoses. Also lowered the stance a bit as well.
Homage to the Square - Aglow, 1963

Presented by the Friends of the National Collections of Ireland, 1970.
Josef Albers (19 March, 1888-25 March, 1976) initially studied and subsequently taught at the Bauhaus School in Germany from 1920 until its forced closure by the Nazis in 1933. Like many artists at this time, Albers left Germany for America, where he became an influential art theorist and teacher. He taught at the avant-garde Black Mountain College in North Carolina and was appointed principal of the Yale School of Design in 1950. It was around this time that he began his monumental Homage to the Square series. Through this series, which was to eventually encompass over 1000 works in various media including works on paper and tapestry, Albers explored the effects of colour relativism and interdependency, harmony, proportion and the perception of colour planes advancing or receding into depth. Albers would sometimes make colour sketches, which would then be worked up to a larger scale. In 1963, the year in which this work was painted, Albers's book Interaction of Colour was published. While the structural formalism of the Homage to the Square series is rigorous, the titles are occasionally annotated with additional descriptions, in this case the word Aglow, which emphasise the intense lyricism and primacy of the visual experience which pervade these works.
I created this from a photo I took of a vintage scale at my aunt's shop, located between Lovilia & Albia, Iowa. It's full of awesome stuff.
Scale and office of the Smoky Valley Roller Mill at Old Mill Park in Lindsborg Kansas. The scale on the right was used to weigh grain and the mill office was to the left of the scale.
Built in 1898 and was in operation until the 1950's. It was restored to full working order in 1981. Instead of using stones to grind grain this mill used a series of corrugated steel rollers. This type of mill became known as the "grand daddy of the modern mill" and was important with the introduction of hard winter wheat in the 1870's. It took 4-6 people to operate the mill.
National Register #72001451. Added in 1972.

The Old Scale looks like it can be used because the scale house is locked up by a big railroad lock. Location:Nashua,NH.
The construction of this year's pavilion mirrored last year's to some extent, although the wood rather than concrete gave it a very different feel.
Fake diorama of Taipei mountains taken from 89th floor of Taipei 101.
Here I have taken an ordinary holiday snap and waved the post processing wand over it. Basically just judicial use of lens blur filter and gradient tool. Then tiny tweak the colours.
Exerpt from Frank’s diary, undated,
Kayley came to see me today in the parking area. We were both in real bad moods. I was trying to get the drill to reach under the armoured car, but it wouldn’t, and Bobby said he’d help. I said that it wouldn’t help if Bobby got involved, but anyway....Kayley came down, and just ...for ages, she just sat there on top of the armoured tank, fiddling with her left boot.
