Random Cellphone Screenshots

I believe I have a few more of these waiting to be posted. They are screenshots from my Motorola cell phone.

I am familar with Space 1889 and I own a few of these miniatures and have a couple of the game-rules pamphlets on my shelf. This really a great game concept. It is like a steampunk universe where somehow nations made the trip to space in hte 1880's.

A blind fat cat. The fat cats are all blind to our needs, except, except they are offering a great deal here?

It is ashame that the word could not have of gotten out eairler. Alas, these deals are set to disapear toward the end of this year.

This is an image that I ran through an AI to enhance the appearance. I am ready to take a bite into this.

I do realize that this project is taking me an exceptionally long time to complete. This door needs a speck of paint on the door knob.

Pyramid Roofed Structure - Roof Panel Sections

Hear are the four triangles that will make-up the pyramid roof. The roof panels measure 13.5 foot wide by six foot tall. I am not all that happy with how the paint job ended up. I will try a couple little tricks in order to make the roof look a little better.

Back in the day I saw Floyd perform the animal album down in Tampa Florida. Great time, what I can remember of it.

Doors and Windows

I have been slow in completing this structure. As you can see I have started creating doors and windows. I started the window by glueing a square piece of window materials to the inside of the structure. Then I added mullions to the glazing material to create the four pane window. The panel door was scratch built using various widths of card stock glued to a cardstock backing.

Pictures and Places

Doors and Windows

There are a lot of those here. I found these images in the "extras" folder on the (DVD). They are architectural drawings that set designers use to envision and then to build their scenes and create their sets. They illustrate some of the many sets that may need to constructed. The illustrations also bring some light into new projects.

This Hot Wheels Mercedes 540K has seen Better days

This one of the three vehicles that had been found while I was digging a new spot for flowers and herbs. As you can see it is in bad shape. The axels are shot, it is missing a chrome raditor, and the roof.

This is the Mercedes 540K.1 First introduced in 1982 and outfitted with the wide white walled wheel set, she was "glamorous, sophisticated, and at one time quite popular".

What needs fixing. Both axils are shot and the white rimmed tires are no longer white. The whole chromed lights and raditor assembly is missing. Perhaps I should screen that area where the vehicles were found. Lastly, the body is riddled with spots of rust, with a few areas almost rusted through the paint and metal.

Although I might disessemble this model so that I can clean it more effectively I don't see myself restoring the piece. With two missing and unsourced parts, it is more trouble than its worth to me.



1"The Mercedes-Benz 540K (W29) is a prestigious grand tourer produced between 1936 and 1943, featuring a supercharged 5.4L straight-eight engine producing 180hp. Known for luxury and high-speed autobahn travel, it is famous for its elegant Sindelfingen coachwork, particularly the rare "Special Roadster," which can command prices over $10 million."

Found : Three Buried Vechicles

Three cars were found buried in my yard. They were found dinged, busted, corroaded and soil encrusted. The authorities were called and no human remains have been reported. The specimens include two fantasy racers and a classic car.
