During a brief stint in Washington D.C. in 2023, I spent the better part of a summer evening exploring the grounds of Capitol Hill. Few landscapes invite as much inquiry along winding paths paired with plenty of moments for quiet introspection on marble benches; all in picturesque view of the Capitol dome. These on-site experiences are exactly the form of anecdotal justification I seek when considering whether to recreate such monumental places in the first place.
In tackling any work of such storied precedence as the US Capitol, I always seek to expand the conversation beyond existing works in the medium of plastic bricks. While the consistent 1:650 scale among my works has always ensured some level of originality, it is no guarantee of further insight that cannot already be gleaned from existing works by other artists. With this in mind, I set out to capture the full 100-acre site currently maintained by The Architect of the Capitol. What's more, the diorama depicts a particular time of year - specifically late March to early April - as illustrated by the iconic presence of hundreds of cherry blossoms rendered in two shades of light pink.
The diorama starts downhill at the trapezoidal Capitol Reflecting Pool, with the Grant Memorial taking pride of place along its eastern edge and the US Botanic Garden across the street to the south. The diorama expands from there, capturing the radiating pathways meandering uphill, as designed by Frederick Law Olmsted within the parcels laid out in the city plan by Pierre Charles L'Enfant. The piece culminates with the widely imitated US Capitol Building, perched atop a plinth projecting from the Capitol Visitor Center on the opposite side.
Topping everything off is a custom-made representation of the Statue of Freedom (as designed by Thomas Crawford), steadfastly overlooking the National Mall from atop the dome. The statue was designed in collaboration with BigKidBrix and was sized comparably to the minifigure statuette / trophy element.
The piece was designed over the course of about two months: first in December 2023 through January 2024, paused during the build-out of SPQR - Phase II, then resumed between March and April. The build-out lasted from July through August and was completed by September. The piece will soon be added to my personal gallery of works, now available for touring exhibitions.

Here’s another shot from within the “new CD” department, once again looking out across the store; that’s the right-side wall of the building in the back of this shot, and the store’s entrance along the front where all that natural light is flowing in.
Be sure to check out those makeshift endcaps placed along these aisles. Obviously, given that these units were designed specifically to hold media, they weren’t exactly made to feature endcaps like traditional retail gondola shelves. But Trans World came up with a rather inventive workaround for that.

This unique piece above is a First Day Cover issued on March 23, 1977, commemorating the 100th anniversary of Thomas Edison's phonograph invention. The envelope features a striking custom Langer cachet, depicting the Statue of Liberty with the inscription "In God We Trust," and the official 13-cent US stamp showing Edison's original device. The cover is personally autographed by the renowned Chinese-American actress Nancy Kwan, celebrated for her iconic roles in films such as The World of Suzie Wong and Flower Drum Song. The official postmark from Washington, D.C., confirms its first day of issue status. This collectible item is a wonderful cross-collectible, appealing to both philatelists and celebrity memorabilia enthusiasts.
A Langer Cachet is a type of cachet (a design or inscription on an envelope) created by Ernest "Ernie" Langer, a notable figure in philately (stamp collecting). These are found on First Day Covers and commemorate a postal or philatelic event.
E. Langer Cachets in Philately:
Definition: In philately, a cachet is a printed or stamped design or inscription, other than a cancellation or pre-printed postage, used to commemorate a specific postal event, such as the release of a new stamp. An "E. Langer Cachet" or "Langer Cachet" refers to a cachet produced by Ernest Langer.
Active Period: His work is most commonly seen on United States First Day Covers from the late 1970s and 1980s. His cachets are typically printed designs that provide historical context or thematic illustrations for the specific stamp being issued.
The Centennial of Sound Recording commemorates Thomas Alva Edison's invention of the phonograph in 1877, the first practical device capable of recording and playing back sound.
Significance of the Centennial of Sound Recording:
The stamp and FDC were issued on March 23, 1977, to mark the 100th anniversary of this invention.
Invention: While working on improvements to the telegraph and telephone, Edison discovered that a stylus rubbing against a tinfoil-wrapped cylinder could record sound vibrations. His first recorded words were "Mary had a little lamb."
Impact: This led to the development of the entire recording industry. The stamp itself Scott (#1705) depicts a later model tinfoil phonograph and honors the broader development of the recording industry.
Controversy: The official issue date was chosen to coincide with an award dinner for the Recording Industries Association of America, rather than the exact date of Edison's discovery in December 1877, which caused some philatelic discussion at the time.

Nancy Kwan (born May 19, 1939) is a pioneering Chinese-American actress, filmmaker and activist who was instrumental in breaking racial barriers in Hollywood and increasing the acceptance of actors of Asian descent in major film roles.
Career Highlights:
Breakthrough Role: Kwan's career launched when producer Ray Stark cast her in the lead role of the 1960 film The World of Suzie Wong, where she played a free-spirited Hong Kong prostitute opposite William Holden. For this role, she won a Golden Globe Award for Most Promising Newcomer.
Major Films: She followed this success with a starring role in the 1961 musical film Flower Drum Song, notable for being one of the first major Hollywood films with an all-Asian cast. Other significant films include Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N. (1966) with Dick Van Dyke and The Wrecking Crew (1969) alongside Dean Martin.
Versatility: While often typecast in "Oriental" roles early in her career, she also took on non-Asian characters, playing Italian, French, and even Native American roles in various films produced in America and Europe.
The "Kwan Cut": In 1963, her iconic, sharp bob haircut for the film The Wild Affair, created by hairstylist Vidal Sassoon, became widely famous and was known as "the Kwan cut".
Later Work and Activism:
Behind the Camera: In the 1970s, Kwan returned to Hong Kong to care for her ailing father and founded her own production company, Nancy Kwan Films, which produced and directed numerous commercials.
Advocacy: Kwan is a political activist and serves as a spokeswoman for the Asian American Voters Coalition, a political organization established to support Asian actors and promote better representation in the media industry. She has received recognition for her advocacy and contributions to cinema, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Asian Hall of Fame.
Memoir: In recent years, she has written and produced films with her husband, Norbert Meisel, focusing on Asian-American characters, and has also penned a memoir about her life and career.

Thomas Edison: The Architect of Modern Progress
Thomas Edison remains one of the most towering figures in global history, often described as the man who "invented the modern world." Beyond his technical achievements, he was a cultural icon whose tireless work ethic and optimism captured the heart of the American public.
Key Contributions to Society
The Gift of Light: Edison developed the first commercially viable incandescent light bulb and the electrical grid system to power it.
Preserving Sound and Motion: Through the phonograph and motion picture camera, he laid the foundation for the global entertainment industry.
The Invention Factory: He established the industrial research laboratory at Menlo Park, proving that innovation could be a collaborative, disciplined process.
A Folk Hero Loved by the Public
During his lifetime, Edison was a national hero known as "The Wizard of Menlo Park". The public loved him because he personified the American Dream—a self-taught man who rose to fame through "1% inspiration and 99% perspiration". His optimism and resilience made him a symbol of grit; even after his lab burned down, he remained undeterred.
"I find out what the world needs. Then I go ahead and try to invent it." — Thomas Edison

"In the liturgy of the Order, today’s feast expresses the unique bond between the Friars Minor and the Friars Preachers, due to the affinity between the founders of these Orders in their historic mission in building up the Church. As Saint Catherine of Siena recorded of them most beautifully, ‘Truly Dominic and Francis were two pillars of Holy Church: Francis with the poverty that was his hallmark, and Dominic by his learning.’ We who follow them faithfully are taught to ‘become discples of such humble masters.’
A contemporary of Saint Dominic, Francis (1182-1226), followed the poor Christ with an admirable simplicity, and the Crucified with singular charity. In living according to the form of the Gospel, he attracted to himself numerous brothers and sisters, whom he joyfully exhorted to love of poverty, praise of the Creator and obedience to the Church. He was marked with the stigmata of the Lord in 1224, and went happily to ‘Sister Death’ on 3 October 1226. He was canonised by Gregory IX in 1228."

Unique in the fleet....
With the withdrawals of the remaining TransBus Trident/TransBus President and disposals of the last - bar one open-topper in the East Coast Buses fleet - Scania Omnicities, it leaves the 2011 ADL hybrids as the only non-Volvo double-deckers in the Lothian fleet. These were Lothian Buses first double-decker hybrids and the reason that they arrived when they did was that ADL offered a long-wheelbase version of the E400H and Volvo - Lothian’s preferred supplier - didn’t offer a long-wheelbase double deck version of the B5LH. So the order went to ADL, as the purchase was being made with the support of the Green Bus Fund.
When they arrived, they arrived in a madder/gold version of Lothian’s then standard livery but they’ve now been repainted in this more simplified version of the current livery, which suits them well.
Seen here is 201 (SN11EES). Like some early hybrids, these have now been converted back to pure diesel operation with a new Euro VI engine, actually making them cleaner than the previous arrangement with Euro V engine and hybrid pack. More Alexander Dennis buses are due to enter service shortly though, albeit on Volvo B8L chassis. These are the first of a three-axle version of the Enviro 400MMC called the Enviro 400XLB.
+++ DISCLAIMER +++
Nothing you see here is real, even though the conversion or the presented background story might be based on historical facts. BEWARE!
Some background:
The Cessna Model 336 and 337 “Skymaster” were American twin-engine civil utility aircraft built in a unique push-pull configuration. Their engines were mounted in the nose and rear of its pod-style fuselage. Twin booms extended aft of the wings to the vertical stabilizers, with the rear engine between them. The horizontal stabilizer was aft of the pusher propeller, mounted between and connecting the two booms.
The first Skymaster, Model 336, had fixed landing gear and initially flew on February 28, 1961. It went into production in May 1963 with 195 being produced through mid-1964. In February 1965, Cessna introduced the larger Model 337 Super Skymaster with more powerful engines, retractable landing gear, and a dorsal air scoop for the rear engine (the "Super" prefix was subsequently dropped from the name). In 1966, the turbocharged T337 was introduced, and in 1973, the pressurized P337G entered production.
The type was very prolific and Cessna built 2.993 Skymasters of all variants, including 513 military O-2 (nicknamed "Oscar Deuce") versions from 1967 onwards. The latter featured underwing ordnance hard points to hold unguided rockets, gun pods or flares, and served in the forward air control (FAC) role and psychological operations (PSYOPS) by the US military between 1967 and 2010. Production in America ended in 1982, but was continued by Reims in France, with the FTB337 STOL and the military FTMA “Milirole”.
Both civil and military Cessna 336/337 version had long service careers, and some were considerably modified for new operators and uses. Among the most drastic conversions was the Spectrum SA-550, built by Spectrum Aircraft Corporation of Van Nuys, California, in the mid-1980s: Spectrum took the 336/337 airframe and removed the front engine, lengthened the nose to maintain the center of gravity, and replaced the rear piston engine with a pusher turboprop which offered more power than the combined pair of original petrol engines. The Spectrum SA-550 conversion also came together with an optional modernization package that prolonged the airframes’ service life, so that modified machines could well serve on for 20 years or more.
This drastic conversion was executed for both military and civil operators. The best-known military SA-550s were six former USAF O-2A airframes, which had been transferred to the U.S. Navy in 1983 for use as range controllers with VA-122 at NAS Lemoore, California. These aircraft were operationally nicknamed “Pelican”, due to the characteristic new nose shape, and the name unofficially caught on.
However, the SA-550 package was only adopted sporadically by private operators, but it became quite popular among several major police and fire departments. Typical duties for these machines included border/drug patrol, surveillance/observation duties (e.g. traffic, forest fire) and special tasks, including drug interdiction as well for SAR missions and undercover operations like narcotics and serialized criminal investigations. Some SA-550s were accordingly modified and individually outfitted with suitable sensors, including IR/low light cameras, searchlights, and internal auxiliary tanks. None were armed, even though some aircraft featured underwing hardpoints for external extra tanks, flare dispensers for nocturnal operations or smoke charge dispensers for ground target marking to guide water bombers to hidden forest fires.
The type’s versatility, low noise level, high travel speed and good loitering time in the operational area at low speed proved to be vital assets for these public service operators and justified its relatively high maintenance costs. A handful of the modernized Spectrum SA-550 machines were still in active service after the Millennium, primarily in the USA.

The kit and its assembly:
This build is the combination of ingredients that had already been stashed away for a long time, and the “Red Lights” Group Build at whatifmodellers.com in early 2021 was a good motivator and occasion to finally put everything together.
The basis is an ARII 1:72 Cessna T337 model kit – I had purchased it long ago with the expectation to create a military Skymaster from it, but I was confused by a fixed landing gear which would make it a 336? Well, without a further concrete plan the kit preliminarily landed in The Stash™…
However, the ARII model features the optional observation windows in the doors on the starboard side, in the form of a complete(!) fuselage half, so that it lends itself to a police or firefighter aircraft of some sort. This idea was furthermore fueled by a decal sheet that I had been given from a friend, left over from a 1:72 Italeri JetRanger, with three optional police helicopter markings.
The final creative element was the real-world “Pelican” conversion of six O-2As for the US Navy, as mentioned in the background above: the front engine was replaced with a longer nose and the engine configuration changed to a pusher-only aircraft with a single powerful turboprop engine. This looked so odd that I wanted to modify the ARII Cessna in a similar fashion, too, and all these factors came together in this model.
My Arii Cessna 337 kit is a re-boxing from 2009, but its origins date back to Eidai in 1972 and that’s just what you get: a vintage thing with some flash and sinkholes, raised (but fine) surface details and pretty crude seams with bulges and gaps. Some PSR is direly necessary, esp. the fit of the fuselage halves is cringeworthy. The clear parts were no source of joy, either; especially the windscreen turned out to be thick, very streaky (to a degree that I’d almost call it opaque!) and even not fully molded! The side glazing was also not very clear. I tried to improve the situation through polishing, but if the basis is already poor, there’s little you can do about it. Hrmpf.
However, the kit was built mostly OOB, including the extra O-2 glazing in the lower doors, but with some mods. One is a (barely visible) extra tank in the cabin’s rear, plus a pilot and an observer figure placed into the tight front seats. The extended “Pelican” nose was a lucky find – I was afraid that I had had to sculpt a nose from scratch with 2C putty. But I found a radome from a Hasegawa RA-5C, left over from a model I built in the Eighties and that has since long fallen apart. However, this nose fitted almost perfectly in size and shape, I just “blunted” the tip a little. Additionally, both the hull in front of the dashboard and the Vigilante radome were filled with as many lead beads as possible to keep the nose down.
The kit’s OOB spatted, fixed landing gear was retained – even though it is dubious for a Cessna 337, because this type had a fully retractable landing gear, and the model has the landing gear covers actually molded into the lower fuselage. On the other side, the Cessna 336’s fixed landing gear looks quite different, too! However, this is a what-if model, and a fixed landing gear might have been a measure to reduce maintenance costs?
The propeller was replaced with a resin four-blade aftermarket piece (from CMK, probably the best-fitting thing on this build!) on my standard metal axis/styrene tube adapter arrangement. The propeller belongs to a Shorts Tucano, but I think that it works well on the converted Cessna and its powerful pusher engine, even though in the real world, the SA-550 is AFAIK driven by a three-blade prop. For the different engine I also enlarged the dorsal air intake with a 1.5 mm piece of styrene sheet added on top of the molded original air scoop and added a pair of ventral exhaust stubs (scratched from sprue material).
Another addition is a pair of winglets, made from 0.5 mm styrene sheet – an upgrade which I found on several late Cessna 337s in various versions. They just add to the modernized look of the aircraft. For the intended observation role, a hemispherical fairing under the nose hides a 180° camera, and I added some antennae around the hull.
However, a final word concerning the model kit itself: nothing fits, be warned! While the kit is a simple affair and looks quite good in the box, assembling it turned out to be a nightmare, with flash, sinkholes, a brittle styrene and gaps everywhere. This includes the clear parts, which are pretty thick and blurry. The worst thing is the windscreen, which is not only EXTRA thick and EXTRA blurry, it was also not completely molded, with gaps on both sides. I tried to get it clearer through manual polishing, but the streaky blurs are integral – no hope for improvement unless you completely replace the parts! If I ever build a Cessna 337/O-2 again, I will give the Airfix kit a try, it can only be better…
Painting and markings:
The choice between the operator options from the JetRanger sheet was hard, it included Sweden and Italy, but I eventually settled for the LAPD because the livery looks cool and this police department not only operates helicopters, but also some fixed-wing aircraft.
I adapted the LAPD’s classic black-and-white police helicopter livery (Gloss White and Black, Humbrol 22 and 21, respectively) to the Cessna and extended it to the wings. At this point – already upset because of the poor fit of the hardware – disaster struck in the form of Humbrol’s 22 turning into a pinkish ivory upon curing! In the tin, the paint and its pigments looked pretty white and “clean”, and I assume that it’s the thinner that caused this change. What a crap! It’s probably the third tin with 22 that causes trouble, even though in different peculiarities!
The result was total rubbish, though, and I tried to rub the paint off as good as possible on the small model with its many windows, the fixed, delicate landing gear and the wing support struts. Then I overpainted the areas with Revell 301 (Semi-matt White). While this enamel yielded the intended pure white tone, the paint itself is rather gooey and not easy to work with, so that the overall finish turned out worse than desired. At least the black paint worked properly. The demarcations were created with black decal stripes (TL Modellbau), because the tiny model left little room for complex masking measures – and I did not risk any more painting accidents.
Since the aircraft would be kept shiny and clean, I just did a light black ink washing to emphasize surface details and did a light panel post-shading on the black areas, not for weathering but rather to accent surface structures. No further weathering was done (and necessary).
The markings/decals come – as mentioned above – from an Italeri 1:72 JetRanger, but they were augmented with some additional markings, e. g. grey walkways on the wings and “L-A-P-D” in large black letters under the wings, to distract from the poor finish of the white paint around them…
Finally, the kit was sealed overall with Italeri semi-gloss acrylic varnish, just with a matt anti-glare shield in front of the windscreen, which received thin white trim lines (generic decal stripes).
A challenging build due to the Arii kit’s rather poor basis, the massive rhinoplasty and the crisp paint scheme. However, I like the result – what-if models do not always have to be armed military vehicles, there’s potential in other genres, too. And this mono-engine “Pelican” Skymaster plays its role as a “flying eye” in police service credibly and well. However, this was my first and last Eidai kit…
Supertree Grove
These unique trees of up to 16 storeys in height can be found all around the Gardens - twelve at the Supertree Grove, while the remaining six are placed in clusters of threes at the Golden and Silver Gardens.
Providing scale and dimension to the Gardens while marrying the form and function of mature trees, the Supertrees also create height to balance the tall developments in the Marina Bay area. Take a stroll along the OCBC Skyway, a 128-metre long walkway that connects the two 25-metre Supertrees at the Supertree Grove, and take in a different view of the Gardens. Chill out at the 50-metre Supertree-top bistro and be captivated by the panoramic views of the Gardens as well as the surrounding Marina Bay area.
A unique bus in many respects. Fishwicks 2 was origninally built for the export market as a left hand drive vehicle, hence the AN69/2L designation. It also has the uprated, turbocharged version of the 0.680 engine, and to top that off carries an ECW body that was only usually married to the Olympian chassis, this being the only Atlantean to carry this style body.
Good-bye to Winter Hollow.
Although we'll leave the build up (for awhile), with Snowdrift and her lovely sleigh of white coasting through the landscape, the ponies and circus horse performer will be gone after today.

I use fine art photographic print, the sum of photography and art. Fine art use special paper and pigments that last over 100 years, without a change. Each photo is placed between a thick cardboard museum and a quality passapartout, all materials free of acids for a museum standards' archivial, to guarantee quality unchanged over time. A special protective spray is applyed on the surface, to avoid dust and moisture. A dedicated certificate of authenticity with an hologram, pairs with an other one on the back of the print, where you will find the print run and my signature, to complete the set.
A picture like this, becomes a special gift that connects entire generations, friends, distant relatives.
