Another vehicle, this time detailed enough to guide an actual solid model. Again, 1:35 scale.
This one is a small utility vehicle. Hydrogen fuel cell for power. In the theme of Industrialpunk, or Hibernia, whichever. I'm not totally sold on the cab, but now that I have the dimensions down, I can play around with the shape. I may try out something closer to this, this, this, this, or this.

When I lived in Canada we had one of these cars. It was very handy for transporting things. I collect these die-cast model cars as well.
A small spaceship I imagine being some sort of exploratory vehicle operating out of a larger space station. The build was a fun vessel for messing with angles possible using cheese slopes,

This pole is near the end of a whole line of poles, all showing evidence of being quite old, that serves a small downtown residential neighborhood.
...Thing. Not quite sure what to think of this one. I guess it's some sort of mobile artillery? Whatever, I think it's cool, so there. Also, in other news, my photography is actually decent for once!
c:
Now go watch this.
It also has suspension, but it doesn't really work because the tire hits the rim and then it fails. So yeah.
Bye y'all.

Also, I think it's cute.
P.S. I'm uploading this so you can see it. :>

The Land Rover was conceived by the Rover Company in 1947 during the aftermath of World War II. Maurice Wilks, Rover's chief designer came up with a plan to produce a light agricultural and utility vehicle, of a similar concept to the Willys Jeep used in the war, but with an emphasis on agricultural use. The first prototype was built on a Willys Jeep chassis and used the engine and gearbox out of a Rover P3 saloon car. The bodywork was handmade out of an aluminium/magnesium alloy called Birmabright, to save on steel, which was closely rationed.
Land Rover entered production in 1948, later to be known as the Series 1, and was launched at the 1948 Amsterdam Motor Show. It was designed for farm and light industrial use, with a steel box-section chassis and an aluminium body. Originally the Land Rover was a single model offering, which from 1948 until 1951 used an 80-inch wheel base and a 1.6-litre petrol engine producing around 50 bhp. The four-speed gearbox from the Rover P3 was used, with a new two-speed transfer box. This incorporated an unusual four-wheel-drive system, with a freewheel unit (as used on several Rover cars of the time). This disengaged the front axle from the manual transmission on the overrun, allowing a form of non- permanent 4WD. A ring-pull mechanism in the driver's footwell allowed the freewheel to be locked to provide more traditional 4WD. This was a basic vehicle: tops for the doors and a roof (canvas or metal) were optional extras. In 1950, the lights moved from a position behind the grille to protruding through the grille.
During 1950, the unusual semi-permanent 4WD system was replaced with a more conventional setup, with drive to the front axle being taken through a simple dog clutch. In 1952 and 1953, a larger 2.0-litre petrol engine was fitted. he 1954 model year brought major changes with the original 80 inch wheel base replaced with an 86 inch wheel base and a 107 inch wheelbase, pick up version introduced. September 1955 saw the introduction of a four door station wagon on the 107 wheel base chassis, with seating for up to ten people. The 86-inch station wagon was a three-door, seven-seater. In mid-1956 the wheelbases were extended by 2 inches to 88 inches and 109 inches for the long wheel base chassis. In 1957 a brand new 2.0-litre diesel engine was introduced that, despite the similar capacity, was not related to the petrol engines used.

Entering the next tower, we find that indeed, every home has one of these -- you know, that utility room by the side door where all the junk ends up that nobody needs.

The inside of the trailer can store a little bit of equipment and spare parts, as well as the lockers on the side are for the driver's personnal stuff.
This was one of MDU's smallest substations on its 57kV system, producing 2400V delta from a pair of transformers connected 'open delta' style.
It seems, though, a large load was established nearby since this picture was taken, prompting a rebuild to a larger substation and a conversion to at least 4160V.
