Big Lots - Kalamazoo [CLOSED]-relocated
On a hike today, Lori and I were meandering through the woods and came across this giant Ponderosa Pine with lots of character. It had wonderful chiseled old bark with numerous woodpecker holes circling the entire tree. As I walked around the tree I spotted these Bear Claw scratches just above my head.
As I was taking the pic a Downy Woodpecker landed near the top of the tree by a large hole and started pecking! I couldn't believe the vibrations I felt down at the base of the trunk.
Looking for scratches in the Chicago Bean, and photographing them with a macro lens. It was super-hard not getting my lens captured in the reflection. It wouldn’t seem hard, but it was a challenge. Maybe because I was shooting with a macro lens on my iPhone. You have to get SUPER-CLOSE to the surface to capture the details. Like, within an inch.
Zoey has noticed a slight scratching noise in the house that seems to be getting louder. It sounds like lots of little feet and they seem to mostly be behind this door...

Love this girl so much!
and I'll scratch yours. Or maybe I'll just bite your butt!!!
Pete grooming Donovan on the butt today, LOL
Little Details. These are the things I think I will always cherish. The way she loves that broken Kodak Pony. And those flip flops. She loves her Dora flip flops that her Grandma sent from Arizona. I usually don't buy things with characters on them. But she loves these shoes. They are easy for her to get on and she is constantly yelling for her flip flops when we go out. "My flip flops, my flip flops!" I will always remember the way they curve to her feet and how she refused to have them called sandals. And then there are her cute little toes and how she adores having them painted. I went to grab something when we first painted her toes multi-coloured. When I came back she was grinning and declared that she did it by herself. She had painted one of her toes. And she did a pretty good job. Soon she won't need me to do these little things for her. And it is truly these little things that I will miss so much.
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Many of the boulders and pebbles of the till are found to be glaciated, or marked with parallel scratches. Often they look as if engraved with a sharp need. Sometimes the scratches are deep and rough. A marked polish is seen on some stones. If we dig through the subsoil to the bed-rock, we shall often find the latter scratched in the same way, or even deeply grooved and carved into fluting's and the folding. The glacier, shod with stones at its base, drags these over the bed-rock, and thus both the moving fragments and the floor over which they move are polished and graven. The direction of the scratches corresponds to that in which the erratic boulders have been moved, and so, putting these other facts together, we have full proof that glaciers have done the work."

Trek introduced the Scratch Air to media in Chatel, France.
This year, the Scratch Air gets even more dialed with a true custom tune rebound setting on the VX Can RP23, a Fox 36 Talas fork and DT Swiss wheels.
ODC Theme: Change
Taken 7 June '11
I stopped at a dam spillway this afternoon and took a few shots of the locals. This guy was so laid back and changed "scratching positions" umpteen times, it was pretty funny. Life's pretty darn good eh.
There were around 20 or so medium sized roos grazing about 30 meters left and behind me, watching, eating, watching, eating...occasionally bounding to a new sunny spot. They were more cautious as they had joeys feeding in amongst them.
But, true to form for Melbourne the weather changed and 40 minutes later it was hailing and the temperature had dropped 4 or 5 degrees. So I included a shot of our driveway after the storm had passed. Nothing like you guys experience in northern USA and Canada I'm sure, but still enough for the kids to get out and chuck it around like snow.
Gotta view LARGE!

Today i'm trying to learn macro using extension tubes . One thing I have realized ...My watch is very ugly, a lot of scratches all over the bezels.
Have a great week ahead!

How it came to be:
This model was initially inspired by a "what if" illustration of a Westland Wyvern in Russian markings (which looked disturbingly realistic...). I have always been fascinated by this brutal construction on the thin line between the prop and jet age, and building one had been a vague plan for a long time. But instead trying to get my hands on a Trumpeter Wyvern in 1:72 I thought: well, if I was going "what if", then I could also build the plane from scratch.
While browsing sources and older Hobby Japan issues, I came across the Sanka and Skyly fighters from Bandai - and things fell together. Why not build a fighter in the post-WWII look of "The Sky Crawlers"?
The construction:
The kit was constructed as a kitbashing, with some scratch elements added. Design benchmark was the Westland Wyvern, but the Skyly J2 also had some influence, as well as various turboprop prototype of the US Navy, esp. the Ryan "Darkshark".
What went into this model:
North American F-86 Sabre (1:72, Hobby Boss):
- Fuselage
- Cockpit interior
- Canopy
Vought F4U-5 Corsair (1:72; Revell):
- Wings
- Landing gear & wheels
- Antennae
Mitsubishi A6M Zero (1:72 , Hasegawa)
- Engine cowl
Gloster Meteor NF.11 (1:72, Xtrakit/Matchbox):
- Vertical fin & horizontal stabilizers
Other smaller donations:(
- McDonnell Douglas F-18A Hornet (1:72, Italieri):
Turboprop spinners (= drop tank halves)
- Martin B-26 Marauder (1x Matchbox, 1x Airfix): Propeller blades
- McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom (1:72, Matchbox):
RAF reconnaissance pod
- Grumman F9 Panther: underwing hardpoints
- Kamov Ka-34 "Hokum" (1:72, ESCI): jet exhaust bulges
- WWII pilot figure from an unknown Airfix kit
Building the thing went pretty straightforward. F-86 hull and the Mitsubishi Zero engine cowl were glued together and four coats of NC putty melted the into one. Only a small slit between fuselage and propeller was left open as an air intake for the turboprop engine.
The Corsair wings were taken right out fo the box and could be merged with only minor modifications. On the upper side of the wing/body intersection, bulges for the jet exhaust pipes were added on the fuselage flanks (they were intended to end behind the wings' trailing edge), they consist of parts of the engine pods of a Kamov Ka-34 "Hokum" kit from ESCI. Later, the fuselage was drilled open at their ends and sunk exhaust funnels added - simple polystyrene pipes of 6mm diameter.
A similar pipe was vertically fitted into the fuselage at the plane's CG, for in-flight display (photography purposes).
The cruciform tail comes from an Xtrakit Gloster Meteor NF.11. Originally I planned just to replace the Sabre tail with the complete Meteor tail cone, but the latter turned out to be too slim! As an emergency remedy, I only used the the Meteor's fin and cut away the original jet exhaust of the Sabre - replacing it with a new, fatter tail cone which was built with parts from an RAF F-4 reconnaissance pod from a Matchbox kit (and lots of putty, though). The result is a rather massive tail which reminds of a Mitsubishi Zero's shape, but overall the lines blend well.
The contraprops were built from scratch, and for photography purposes I built tweo specimen: one with propeller blades for static display, and the other one with two clear plastic discs, as if the propellers were running full speed. The base for both is a drop tank from an Italieri F-18 Hornet kit. For the static contraprop, this base was even cut in two and an axis fitted - the propeller is actually fully functional! Its propeller blades come from B-26 Marauder kits and were fitted with reversed pitches, so that the contra-rotating construction would be realistic. Inside of the fuselage, a plastic pipe was used as an adapter for both propellers, making the easily interchangeable.
Even though weapon hardpoints were added, the remained empty - even though my construction looks rather like an attack plane, I wanted to keep a clean air-to-air look and leave a clear view onto the very good Corsair landing gear. The latter was taken 1.1 from the donation kit, just the rear wheel was modified (w/o arresting hook) and a respective compartment cut out of the tail cone.
Livery and markings:
Another subject which was rather difficult. With "whif" planes, you easily end up with prominent markings and camouflage schemes - many such kits bear a Luft'46 look. While this would have been a nice option, I also considered Russian markings (on a pure Aluminum livery or a simple green/light blue cammo scheme). Even painting the whole thing dark blue and adding some white stars would have been a plausible option.
But for a special twist, I wanted to "catch" the retro but subtly colourful spirit of The Sky Crawlers, avoiding a retro-Luftwaffe look. First idea was something that would have looked like an USAF Mustang in late WWII: lower side bare metal, upper sides olive drab and some flashy colours on the spinner, wings and tail. But then I remembered "something different".
The final paint scheme was heavily derived from a rather weird livery which the P-47M "Thunderbolts" from the 63rd fighter squadron, 56th fighter group, 8th Air Force, based in the UK in the final WWII months. Those machines wore a bluish-grey two-tone camouflage on the upper sides, with bare metal undersides. The wings leading edges would be bare metal, too, the engine adorned with a red band and the vertical rudder would be blue. Pretty unique - and AFAIK there's even an airworthy P-47 in this guise around in the USA, flown/kept up by the Confederate Air Force historic flight. This specific machine was actually the benchmark for my paint scheme, because its colours are rather bright.
I more or less sticked to the P-47 paint scheme, just raised the bare metal undersides on the flanks and used brighter colors. These are:
- Testors #1562 "Flat Light Blue"
- Testors #2074 "RLM24 Dunkelblau"
- Testors #1401 "Aluminum Plate" Metallizer
All interior surfaces were painted with RLM02 from Testors, the spinner is plain Testors #1103 "Red". The white stripes were cut from a plain white decal sheet from TL Modellbau, the red insignia are actually French WWII squadron markings in 1:48 scale - also aftermarket pieces from Peddinghaus Decals. Stencelling and bort numbers come from the scrap box.
With the overall exotic shape and cammo scheme, I decided to leave other markings simple and rather neutral – no shark mouth or nose art, even though there would have been plenty of space for such a detail. But I think it would distract too much, and AFAIK no plane in The Sky Crawlers bears such flashy decoration.
The kit was lightly weathered with thinned black paint and some dry painting with shades of grey, plus gun smoke and exhaust fumes with dry-painted black. Everything was sealed under a thin coat of semi-matte varnish.
Final words:
This thing looks disturbingly realistic and plausible, even in its bright livery! While the finish is not perfect (hey, it is scratchbuilt!), the Fafnir (named after a German mythical dragon) really looks like a project from the late 40ies, one of the final high end fighters with a propeller. I am rather surprised how good the result became, and it is exciting to see how such a project evolves step by step, only with a vague idea as a basis. Won't be the last kitbashing!
Staring at the girl next door
I am trying to know
She and i could see the light
... if only she tried...
Friends are talking in the hall
Trying to know it all
Smiling at the way she shines
like a star in the night
Scratching my skin i feel so well
A scratch in my dreams ...her nails so well
Scratching my skin burned by the sun
You take me home
Looking for a place to hold
To hold on to you
Similing at the way she shines
The sun in the sky
Paying more than I can afford
Friends just want to know
But now she wind me up inside
the stars in the night
Scratching my skin i feel so well
A scratch in my dreams ...her nails so well
Scratching my skin burned by the sun
You take me home
(S.S.)

Decided to get up early on the weekend and drive out to the mountains in search of bears. After a day of looking, I was just about ready to give up so I turned around to head home. No more than 100m down the road, this beautiful bear was waiting for me. What a treat to see!

On the way home from Canada on the plane flying around the edge of darkness, the sun had set, 30 minutes later we had sunrise! this was an experiment to focus on the window, the sun really shows how badly scratched the plane windows are!! lol
