SomaFM: Suburbs of Goa
404
This blog is mainly a place where I can record my current interests. It is also a place where I can showcase my current projects, obtain inspiration, keep track of suppliers, and the many other little things that make-up who I am and what I am presently about.
I am using bristol board for the sub-walls. The building will measure a scale 12 foot square. Randum width boards will added to the subwalls. The walls will be nine foot tall.
There will be two doors and six windows: front and back sides get a door and a window; the sides will host two windows per side. Four triangles will be cut from the bottom sheet. These triangles will measure thirteen foot across the bottom and will be six foot tall.
Wall sections and material for roof sections.
I have a lot on my workbench, I have some painting, some repairs and some creation projects

This maker is a genius. In episoid 55 he continues his imaginative build of his diorama, and fabulous miniature world.
"Blinding ignorance does mislead us. 'O' wretched mortals, open your eyes!."
1This quote is contributed to Leonardo da Vinci and is often found in his notebooks, reflecting his frustrations with human ignorance and inaction. It is a call to use observation, science, and intellect to overcome biases and superficial understanding.
Source: The phrase appears in Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks, specifically referencing the tendency for human ignorance to lead to poor decisions, often cited in discussions of the artist's scientific and philosophical thought.
Interpretation: It is a plea for critical thinking and observation, encouraging people to look beyond surface-level reality to see the true nature of things.
Theatricality: The phrase "O! Wretched mortals" is noted as a passionate, almost despairing cry from Leonardo regarding the prevalence of human folly.
Broader Thought: It connects to his broader philosophies that experience and study (theory) are essential, rather than relying on unthinking practice, as seen in his collected thoughts on Goodreads.
1 The quote emphasizes the importance of gaining knowledge through observation and intellectual effort rather than staying in the dark.
This another HO scale structure from FOS and it looks like one I would like to construct. Jason Jensen shows his build of this structure.
Greeblies can be created from any type of material. In this clip the author used bits of styrofoam to create several industrial greeblies.
I prefer to manufacture my own greeblies when I can, but special shapes can become hard and time consuming to create. The prices at CreepyHero Studios are economical and their offerings are full of detail, crisp and clean.
These miniature creatures molded from PVC plastic, and require some assemble. The come supplied in two or three pieces that are snapped together. This particular miniature stands 40mm tallon its base. It resemblies some sort of chicken.
This, what looks like a dark fairy or sprite stands approximately 40 mm tall. She has a set of wings on her back and balanced on some sort of ring.
This blue bird stands around 30m tall. I am not sure what it is carring under its right wing. Is it a wand, a torch or a grub. Its foot claws are on a wicker basket?

This thingamajig was created to fill a pole building that is being built to go along side of the Wills Sheds. The open shed will need to be filled with materials, projects that have been completed and those in process. It might take a few objects and materials to fill this shed so I have taken it upon my self to build what I can. This object was primarily built from foam-core and with paper strips and few other materials was built to be set in a corner.
Perhaps it really is that easy to build a structure from scratch.
