The project βOur house, in the middle of the streetβ is ready. Satisfied with the result. Ready to give a nice place on my layout soon one day.
Paragon kit (r) alongside a scratchbuilt version I completed nearly 20 years ago. Both have been finished in Rennies' Olympic Ribbon livery, that on the right being applied as a transfer while that on the left was hand painted.. The models represent two former Reading Buses vehicles - E451CGM (kit) and E454CGM (scratchbuild).

-Cut out body and arms
-Glue body tab to body
-Glue the 2 tabs on the sides of the arm to the body. (tabs go inside of body, arm is on the outside.)
-Evenly glue the 3 tabs along the head on the back and the front of body. (tabs go inside and are not to be seen.)
-Glue the final 2 tabs on the sides of the arm.
-Fold feet up.
-Curl hands slightly with a pencil or your craft knife.
Bought from a totally unpainted built up kit. I had scratchbuild the missing tail lights, added side windows, and make a hood ornament . The chrome was very grey so strategically bare metal foil it .
A gentle late night snow falls, as the extra E79 east is in regeneration by the Winter substation. Dad did an exquisite job on his modeling of the Cle Elum substation.

SoroSuub Corporation Front Loader MOC
This is a second iteration on the original 'Space Tug' scratch build by Adam Alpern aka @monsterpartywars. This Front Loader is developed to load a Barge which is pushed by the Space Tug.
The front section is partly inspired by the Front Loader concept design by Eduard Pronin, and the Hover Loader design of Hanzhong Wang. Last but not least, I chose yellow to give it a bit of an Alien P-5000 Power Loader feeling π.
I am very happy with the result and named it the βSoroSuub Front Loaderβ. SoroSuub Corporation was a Sullust-based company which developed and manufactured a great variety of technological goods, from droids and sensors to weapons and vehicles.
I decided this would be the perfect, fictitious and non Canon, manufacturer of the Front Loader π.
Go and check out Adam's designs here on Flickr or on Instagram. His models in 1:144 scale are amazing!

I found this old image of my Daemon-Engine model that was totally a scratch build, it is no longer in one pice, but I keep it in a box, yeah I still plan to resurrect this old thing?
perhaps when I have some spare time some day, who knows? even though I donΒ΄t play 40K any longer, I have a few tabletop battle games, swirling around in my head, so who knows...
...what I was thinking off is a more creative game, where all models must be unique, preferably by all involved building their own stuff...
But who knows perhaps the digital computing age has surpassed any such idea when we now have a wide range of possibilities like, Second Life, struckrd and that think on steam, that Board-game simulator???
Who Knows, I personally think GW have cornered themselves these days in just trying to sell products and rob hobbyists for their cash so they donΒ΄t afford to got to the pub :)

CafΓ© Frequenters Episode 206

(a saga about an epic story)
Jimmy Was tired of Johnny, he couldnΒ΄t do anything with that character, but still he though he owed this to his memory...
...still he as a aspiring and green writer wanted to try something else, he invented a guy, a small boy, he had curly brown hair, Jean-Marie was his name...
Now Jimmy felt his fingers tingling with index-finger energy...
This was the lad he was gonna write about not Johnny...
He pored himself a huge glass on the rocks put his ashtray close to the ancient typewrite it looked like a cross of the between a "naked Lunch" and that bug from the book written by that germanophone jewish fellow from Prague...
...anyhow Jimmy started writing like a nutter, buffing fag after fag, over-smoking all the time burning his lips time after time...
...at the end of the evening he was rather pissed by all the whiskey consumed, his pharynx felt like someone had dragged a hedgehog skin up and down a unknown number of times...
all those fags and that fire-water really got to his organic flesh...
Now when Jimmy was drunk like a fisherman on firm land, he took all the pages and stuffed them in to an envelope and licked the rim,needless to say he cut his drunken muscular mouth-snail on the sharp edge, Jimmy took an extra zip whiskey to disinfect the small paper cut on his tongue...
The next day he was so hungover but posted the letter to JohnnyΒ΄s Friend Maud! he left a small post-it with the text: "what do you think of this one!"in the letter too...
...a week passed and Jimmy had grown bored about this new boy so he had started writing JohnnyΒ΄s Adventures again and dropped the Jean-fellow!
...a letter found itΒ΄s way in to the letterbox of Jimmy, it was a reply from Maud!
the text read:
Hello Jimmy Who ever you are, I guess you are a friend of Johnnies since your write almost the same stories as he does, well, yeah Johnny always meeting such strange people, interesting that you chose a new character this time, but, hey, hello, I almost only got his name, since there was a clutter of overlapping letter, words and ink...
I like your stories but please stay a bit more sober next time!
Cheers and greeting!
/ Maud Fried of Johnny
Following a short but painful illness, I was allowed out yesterday by 'Mrs R' as I feel fine again. By way of a pleasant afternoon I visited the MBF's annual event, held at the Crosville club in Crewe where several friends were exhibiting.
Dave Eadie specialises in scratchbuilding excentric prototypes and this Alexander bodied (and Alexander operated) Leyland Gnu is no exception. It's seen here on a northern coach park one sunny day in the 1950s.
At the time the photo was taken, the major components of the Cassowary were still friction-fit so I could disassemble it to take some detail shots.
These 10 TT scale models of steam locomotives I made by scratchbuilding in the 1980s. At the time, only a very few models were available in TT scale. In East Germany, even those were difficult to get. So, many modellers were scratchbuilding their own rolling stock. Of course, the model quality is far away from today's standards. However, these models are a nice memory of railway model scratchbuilding almost four decades ago. The prototypes of the 10 models are Deutsche Reichsbahn and Halberstadt-Blankenburger Eisenbahn, a private railway in the Harz mountains, which is also known as the RΓΌbelandbahn.
Medium: toys bits and household stuff compiled in to a nasty robotic walker (sadly its spiky tail is not showing in this picture) spray-painted silver
I put new arms on it and rearranged some parts
for you who have been following me for a while I started this one a million years ago, originally for miniature wargaming, here are some older pics before I re-modeled it flic.kr/p/2m5y2ij flic.kr/p/pBC9HE
Peace and Noise!

Here is a scratchbuild by me of a 9.4m wright cadet for the crossways fleet. It is awaiting fleet logos and will be used on a new haresfield, stroud and gloucester service. It looks much better in the flesh I must say! The story is that it was bought new and then stored until 2009, so instead of a 55 plate we really have a 59 plate here for the price of a 55 plate making it a bargain! Better than my first half hearted attempt but still not all the way there...
Build update on the MU/TH/UR 6000 "Mother" security corridor - ALIEN 79 - 1:18 scale. Sometimes the build requires creating pieces not seen and are made to simply give stability and bring together various parts of a diorama. Although the ceiling of the security corridor contains some detail, the main build of the frame's purpose is to plug in and hold the walls together. Nothing really fancy to show and I haven't added the ribbed detailing but hopefully you can see the progress I'm talking about. I've also included and exterior of the build from the MU/TH/UR entrance from the bridge, leading to the computer's chamber or "womb" as Sir Ridley Scott liked to call it. Looks a little similar to the actual stage build. I plan to create a nice "shell" that will cover this exterior build which will resemble the exterior of he ship and give that much more stability to the diorama. More to come! #alien #nostromo #MUTHUR6000 #diorama #scratchbuilding #diorama #corridors

The final iteration π!
Lego Star Wars Space Tug with Barge and Payload
After presenting you first my Space Tug inspired by a scratchbuild by Adam Alpern aka @monsterpartywars, and my Front Loader, this is the final MOC with Barge and Payload!
As always, my MOCs cannot be small π, so one thing lead to another, and I ended up adding the Lego UCS AT-AT as payload.
The whole ship is made by the SoroSuub Corporation from Sullust. Again, this one is fictitious and non Canon.
Go and check out Adam's designs here on Flickr or on Instagram. His models in 1:144 scale are amazing!
Measurements
Length: 81.5 cm / 32.1 inch
Width: 24.0 cm / 9.4 inch
Height: 26.5 cm / 10.4 inch
Or:
Length: 102 studs
Width: 30 studs
Height: 33 studs
SHIPtember 2023
BTW - I just noticed, these 102 studs qualifies it to be part of SHIPtember π, so I will be adding this to the group in a minute.
Wishing you all a great weekend π!

Build update on the MU/TH/UR 6000 chamber - ALIEN 79 - Nostromo 1:18 scale. Possibly my last bit of updates to the MU/TH/UR build. Waiting on some resin to cast the control panels to the entryway door then this project will be tabled and figure sculpting will commence! Will finish the control chair as well. I'll be needing to create a shell that will encompass the chamber along with the corridor leading to the entrance from the bridge. It will need to allow room for the fiber optics to set in. If it's ever to be put on display, it will be tricky. I'll have to cross that bridge when I come to it. More to come! #alien #nostromo #muthur6000 #weylandyutani #buildingbetterworlds #diorama #scratchbuilding

SoroSuub Corporation Space Tug MOC
It started with inspiration from a scratch build by Adam Alpern aka @monsterpartywars, and I decided to take a shot at building his amazing Space Tug in Lego.
Adam was a great help, by sending me some different angles of his design, so I could build it properly π.
I am very satisfied with the result and named it the βSoroSuub Corporation Space Tugβ.
SoroSuub Corporation was a Sullust-based company which developed and manufactured a great variety of technological goods, from droids and sensors to weapons and vehicles.
I decided this would be the perfect, fictitious and non Canon, manufacturer of the Space Tug π.

A Scratch Build 1:600 scale model of the former Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Eagle. Built by my own fair hands, I have tried to depict HMS Eagle in her final year of R.N. operation which was 1971. HMS Eagle was a sister ship to the rather more well known carrier HMS Ark Royal R09. HMS Eagle's full air group is on the flight deck and consists of:
12x Sea Vixen FAW2
14x Buccaneer S2
4x Gannet AEW 3
1x Gannet COD4
6x Sea King HAS1
2x Wessex SAR
All the aircraft on this model are of die cast white metal and hand painted
This Model of Eagle has an overall length of 16.25 inches
This Happy Lil Bear is a collaboration with Jade's ToyBox, Inc. I am allowing the use of it to promote being eco-friendly.

The Leyland Atlantean 2 door is a scratchbuild.
All 1:76 Scale, OO Gauge.
Todays work has included the rear upper deck panel to the body sides and front end detailing, still early days as i file and sand the the windscreen area to get that slightly curve look. Also added allthough not glued in the front grill and bumper mainly for measuring purposes, looking at it i will defently bring the grill more forward.
The left leg in 'proof of concept' primer. 20 casts of PP50 polyester resin over a mechanical door hinge. Various other found objects for detail. 1/20th Nitto SAFS for scale. Leg is 180mm tall. By 'proof of concept' I mean that in order to see the object as a whole instead of an assemblage of differently coloured parts it is helpful to have it in one colour better to see its shape, mass, balance and overall MaKky aesthetics.
Although Model Bus Company released the 11m P type as a kit, they never released the 12m version, bought only by Fife Scottish. This is a scratchbuild using parts cut on a CNC machine and assembled by me. The 12m version had all forward facing seats, whereas the 11m version represents the NBC variant with inward facing seats over the wheelarches.
