Model Train Making Process

"A 73-year-old Japanese artisan crafting model trains for decades" I am rather envious of this makers shop. It contains a lot of specialized tools and apparatus. Tools of the trade.

A Few More Pictures of that Handsome Devil K-2S0

“Congratulations, you are being rescued.”

Hay there tall, dark and handsome. Leave it to the Star Wars franchise to come up with a variety of droids. More information can found here about K-2S0 here.

"I am a reprogrammed Imperial droid.

" ―K-2SO

"K-2SO (Kay-Too-Ess-Oh or Kay-Tuesso), abbreviated K-2 (Kay-Tu or Kaytoo) or Kay."

"Did you know that wasn't me?"

Star Wars K-2SO

Although not a perfect likeness, K-2SO ¹ is similar to Asimov's robot depicted in the book art of this volumne.

Work Continues...

Work is continuing on my first swamp shack. I was just working on the shacks platform today. The one that I previously made wasn't large enough to fit the near completed structure so I started a new one. This one with the new set of dimensions. It took me three tries to get the right look for a roof. At least the first and second attempts can be cut up and used as roof material for another structure.

Asimov's The Naked Sun

The book art on the volume is one of my favorites and I would have loved to give credit to its author, but as of today I haven't been able to come-up with a reference for one. I will keep on trying.

"Elijah Baley, Earths most capable detective, took crime in his stride. But he had lived all his life in the underground cities, and the open, blazing sun of the planet Solario sent cold chills down his spine.

The Naked Sun is a rare and perfect blend of science fiction and detective story, with crime that could only take place in the future..."

The Naked Sun, Isaac Asimov, first copyywrite by I. Asimov in 1957, this Lancer Book (C) in 1964.

Klondike Level 100

Okay, enough with the klondike emblems already. I just thought you might be curious to see what it looked like.

I also got a new card back. Which I thought was rather cute.

Is it Plumb

THe sqaure measures 100 long and approximaetly 40mm wide and is cast from an aluminum alloy, giving the sqaure some substance. I can set my walls assemblies next to the sqaure and allow them cure and plumb.

The 75 Best Sci-Fi Books of All Time

Here is another list. It is a long one and I am a little surprised on the titles and authors that were not listed. I have read a few of these titles and have least heard and have read from many of the listed authors.

You should know that I like to read science fiction, so I have another selection to choose from.

Klondike Level 95

So, I am curious, how will level 100 be presented?

Swamp Shack #1, an Update

I had hoped to had completed this project by the end of this month (Oct.), but it seems I will not. Although the shack nears completion it still needs soome attention.

However, it is time to layout the roof sections. The roof will over-hang the front entrance by up to five feet. Perhaps I didn't need to do so, but I added bits of textured cardstock sheet to two inside walls, just in case the interior is viewable from its location on the layout.

First Swamp Shack Nears Completion

Although this structure still requires a few tweeks I have went on to the second phase, the roof. The roof will over-hang the front, creating a porch like area.

View of left-side. This structure might have been built from one type of material, but over the years the owners used whatever materials that were at hand: plywood, corrugated and steel panels, wood boards, even some tarpaper sheet.
