"Home
Home has been on my agenda lately. I've been kind of lost, floating in space without a home in the way I was used to.
I've left the person and the apartment that I called home. This made me "homeless". That was hard but it also gave me a strange feeling of freedom. I could live where ever I chose.
I think home is a space not a place - a space where no one should enter without your permission. A space where you could feel relatively secure. Maybe it can be an object, but in that case the object makes a space, in your mind, a space where you feel at ease.
Home means a lot to me, it has always done, but maybe in a different way now. I am my home. All I really need could fit in a suitcase or two.
At the moment I am working on "Memoire no 1", right now this is my home."
In the last few years I've regularly built small bits of landscape to serve as a backdrop for my minifig scale models. I'm more of a vehicle builder than a builder of organic things, though, so trees are a challenge. I have completed several new models recently (which I have yet to photograph) and I'm building another bit of landscape, for them, so I'm now trying a few new trees. By hinging the branches, they look a bit less layered than my older ones.
I was away on a work trip to the US from Sunday to Friday but I made a lot of progress building my crane since coming back. It now has a crane boom and most of the structure it will be attached to, as well as an operator's cab. There still are plenty of things to do. However, I feel I'm on the home stretch.

After a few weeks in which I had little time to build, I've started this 1955 Bel Air, which is my first car model in months. I bought a LEGO VW Beetle whilst in the US for Brickfair, with the intention of using the medium azure for a car of my own. The parts selection in this colour is limiting, however, in particular because of a lack of useful plates. There are a fair few 1x1, 1x2, 1x3 and 1x4 plates, as well as a few 1x10 plates and a single 2x6. Because of this, I had no other option than building a convertible or something in a two-tone colour scheme. The Bel Air fits the bill.
This has taken so unbelievably long. I think I should have been able to do everything so much more quickly, but I've done some parts of it over 5 times or so. Anyway, someday it will hopefully get done. I'm posting a picture now just to feel like I've accomplished something, at least.
£70million St Anne’s Quarter development in Norwich city centre ..Somedays it sounds like there is a lot going on but not much to see yet
This was a bargain. I picked it up at the Mount Prospect city police auction last spring. It's an old Mount Prospect police car. They were practically giving 'em away...
This may turn out to be the coolest of my collection of movie/TV cars. I'm awaiting a bricklink order with a few additional parts and have lots of things I still have to do, but the outside is larger finished. Building my White van gave me some confidence that I would be able to pull off the car's dirty appearance, and I'm reasonably happy with progress so far. I intend to add the massive PA system to the roof, but that depends on whether I can make it look good. Lego makes cone elements with a 4x4 base, which is too small, and 8x8, which is too large.
