The Masks of Lovecraft (part 3) - Report on the Miskatonic Expedition

"...The things once rearing and dwelling in this frightfull masonary in the age of dinosaurs were not indeed dinosaurs, but far worse. Mere dinosaurs were new and almost brainless objects - but the builders of the city were wise and old, and had left certain traces in rocks, even then laid down well nigh a thousand million years - rocks laid down before the true life of earth had advanced beyond plasmic groups of cells ¹ - rocks laid down before the true life of the life of earth had exsisted at all. They were the makers and enslavers of that life, and above all doubt the orignals of the fiendish elder myths which things like the Pnakotic Manuscripts and the Necronomican offrightlingly hint about.

At the Mountians of Madness, and other tales of terror, H.P. Lovecraft, 1939.

¹ Cells Classified by Sub-Cellular Materials ("-plasmic")In a broader structural sense, groups of cells or tissues are often grouped and named by the type of cellular material ("-plasm") they dominate in or how they develop:

• Cytoplasmic / Protoplasmic Groups: Living cell matter containing the cytosol and organelles.
• Neoplasms: A group of abnormal cells forming a tumor or new tissue growth (cancerous or benign).
• Sarcoplasm: A term used specifically for the specialized cytoplasm found within groups of skeletal muscle cells.

The Fabrication of Components for Induction Engine and Distillation Tank

There is the little thing of needing some paint and then I can glue the copper rod for the induction engine in place.

There are a couple of small greeblies to be added to the base and to the distillation tank. The base was taken from a box of discarded pieces. I have no idea of its orignal proposed use.

The Fabrication of Polystyrene Components

The material I cut the three components below from was about this size. Polystrene is easy to work with and is very forgiving. I am still working on getting everything plumb aand true.

The circle is for the top of a distillation tank, the rectangle is the top of the platform that will hold the Induction Engine, and the square on the right is the metal platform for the distillation tank.

Is this an ad for the preexisting short, user created version or a newer, fuller version?

Because the farm bill, you can still purchase Delta strains of canabis legally.

Yes, AI is here and theis industry is growing like weeds. Weeds have a way of chocking out other life. Shouldn't we be thinking about this?

Bob Seger album art. I will have look this one up.

IHC Box Art : partial line of products

I own a few of these. I had purchased them for kit-bashing projects. I wish I had purchased a few more of these models, since they have become harder to locate. Although they may not have the same amount of detail as other kits they are well made and simply constructed, and you can always had your own details.

More Greeble : Pipe Rails

I scribed horizontal lines down both sides of the strip and plan on adding holes at either end big enough to accept tubing. At the moment, I have no idea on what these specifically may be used for. They will be added to something appropriate.

At the time I laid these rails out I had no idea as to what they might become. I decided they would become "pipe rails"

Tamiya Putty

Although its consistancy is almost perfect it does have a strong oder and is quite toxic to work with. The Tamiya model putty is grey and flows well from the tube.

Building the Fiddletown Display with Dave Frary

Many years ago when I first got bitten by model train bug I started to collect reference materials. At the time Dave Frary had been building model railways for 30 years. I am thankful that I found these titles eary on. They saved me a lot of time.

Building with Greeblies : Induction Engine

Keeping it simple and painting the core black. Wrap and glue thin copper wire in the grooves and adhere to the textured black base. A small control box to be added on the base.

It didn't happen that way and I am still tweaking its design. I have painted the cork screw copper and drilled two small holes on the bottom of the rod. I was planning on adding two small stands here, but after I gave it a try and it all seemed too flimsy. The center piece needs a bit of touch-up where I used aluminum paint. An equipment box needs to fabricated and "attached" to the base of the screw.

19th Century Wooden Barn Scratch Building Tutorial

I've been wanting to build a structure like this for some time and now I have a possible prototype. It looks like a simple and fun build with polystyrene sheets.

The Blade Runner Ad-blimp

This is one of those iconic scenes from the original Blade Runner and one of my favorites.

The sights and sounds of this video are outstanding. I need to make another run through the film and take a few more screenshots.

The many aspects of the iconic Blade Runner blimp advertising, and an out-of-this-world job.

Another Odd Charcter from Brainrot (#02)

The scary oddball stands approximately 67mm tall and like other Brainrots, is cast from a solid PVC material. I researched my last Brianrot character and found it had a name. Perhaps this one does too. It probably does.

The Masks of Lovecraft (part 2) - The Testament of the Shuttered Room

“Destroy every living thing in that room – every living thing, no matter how small. Abner Whately’s grandfather wrote in the strange letter he left after his death.

Abner did not understand until he saw the prints in the dust of the shuttered room – prints of tiny, webbed human hands and feet. Hundreds of them.”

Scenic Details - Trackside Junk - A Broken Hand Car

I don't know how I could have missed this infomation leaflet with the assembly instructions for the assembly of a broken hand car. This is the Woodland Scenics Details Trackside Junk, D202 metal details kit.

This was a simple build and with a little paint and weathering it turned out a convincing model.
