Some Color other than Red.

What kind of screanshots are we going to get from an eptic film like this.

I found one that might suffice.

A Small Brick Shack

The subwalls were cut from a left-over piece of strathmore board and as you can see I haven't clad the subs with embossed card yet.

Actually, the build has gone further than the image indicates. I will make an updated post as soon as I can about my progress and the structures dimensions.

The Induction Engine and Distlation Tank have been Completed:

I can not believe that I haven't made post yet.

The induction engine is compete for now. I might go back and add more details later on.

I am considering adding a copper wire from both ends leading to the underside of the platform to somewhere.

---

The Distillation Tank has seen multiple additions and revisions. Some of the additions are listed below.

1. Steps up to the tank platform
2. A wooden ladder up to the top of the tank
3. Two feeder pipes from the top of the tank and down to the slop drain
4. Door for underneath platform

Since the pipes are bent to one side; weave had a small mishap.

I will come back to this.

Does the Kraken Exist?

Well, they say they have proof. I believe that the Kraken exists. I however do not want to meet one

The Kraken

Below the thunders of the upper deep,
Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides; above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,
From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
Unnumbered and enormous polypi
Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages, and will lie
Battening upon huge sea worms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Burning Chrome - William Gibson , A Reading

I usually like to hold on to the text I am reading, but in this rendition was very entertaining.

Eairler mentions of Burning Chrome

On the Skids

She's got to the skids again. It is a mess. I know. I know. Who was this chick? She kinda flew in from the eighties and got stuck somewheres in a Wendy's triple. She stands approx.50mm tall and the width of 25 of the same. She is short and squate and she means business. She was once in two pieces and are cast in a sturdy PVC.

Pink Floyd - Bob Geldof in The Wall - In The Flesh - Run Like Hell - Waiting For The Worms

I have heard this track before but I haven't seen the video. This is one the most disturbing music videos I have ever seen. How long before this happens here? As it has happened in other countries.

Through the Mountains of Sprue

I believe these sprue belong to a Con-Core kit in HO, 1/87 scale. There are some usable parts here, like the ladder and turn wheels.

I recently dug these out from my door and window stock for a project I am working on. I don't remember the maker of these windows, but they do like industrial windows of some sort,

Skibidi Toilet Mystery Mini Figures

I don't know which are weirder, the Brainrot characters or these Skibidi Toilet's? Five and Below carries these, as do other retailers.

The Skibidi figures are cast from PVC and stand approximately 6 inches tall.

There are others in this series and from what I heard there are more than just this series.

Burning Chrome

“Chrome: her pretty child face smooth as steel, with eyes that would have been at home on the bottom of some deep Atlantic trench, cold gray eyes that lived under terrible pressure. They said she cooked her own cancers for people who crossed her, rococo custom variations that took years to kill you. They said a lot of things about Chrome, none of them at all reassuring.”

Gibson, William. Burning Chrome. New York: Arbor House, 1986.

The Big Book of Greeblies

Wow! This is quite a collection. There are designs for over 2000 greeblies. Download them and 3D print them. You can never have too many greeble.

Shingles for the Spring House

The horizontal strips measure aproximately 2 scale feet wide in 1/87 scale.

---

Since the spring house is ready for a roof I thought I might try shingles this time. Individual shingles at this scale would be too tedious for me today. so I cut them into strips from a left over Bristol board and delinated each shingle by cutting a notch between each shingle. I varied the width and the height of the shingles on the horizontal strips.

A Simple Concrete Spring House

I built the spring house from left over bits of foam-core.The structure measures a scale 13.5 by 11 feet in 1/87 scale. This one is a bit bigger than some and provides a little area for keeping some provisions cold.

The structure is made to look like a concrete building, with a shingled roof.

The foamcore takes well to acrylic paint. The structure was based coated with a coat of light grey. I followed with a dry-brushing of another lite gray and a medium grey. The roof was painted with a I gobbed the inside corners with white glue to give the model some material strength.

No One Can Save It Now

“But you are wrong; it is useless to cling to the past. Even before the Overlords came to Earth, the sovereign state was dying. They have merely hastened its end: no one can save it now --- and no one should try.”

Childhood’s End, Arthur C. Clarke, 1953

So Many DIY Robots -

Recap of my collection of Scratch built/Kitbash Robots:

It is robot mania here with this collection of DIY robots. They are, for the most part, built from left-overs, scavaged parts and the bits of these parts. This is a beautiful and wonderful collection. The author mentioned something about spending a whole year building robots. I beleive he should.

I Degress

The build of the distlation tank and engine is coming a long. Although the engine has been completed the distlation tank still needs a few details:

1. Steps up to the tank platform
2. A wooden ladder up to the top of the tank
3. Two feeder pipes from the top (I need to drill a couple of wholes on the top of the tank)
4. Door for underneath platform

Most of these components have been completed and are wating to be added in.

Declutter and Isolate Through the Use of Foamcore

I have too much clutter on my workbench and I continue to loose or misplace project components. So I have built a couple of parts trays from leftover foamcore bits. These trays only correct the problem with the clutter in a small way, but any step in the right direction is welcome.

I used bits of copper wire as staples to insure the corners stayed where they are meant to be while the glue dried.

This one is made from bits of matboard

I Want to Build One of These

These structures facinate me and I have been wanting to build something like this for some time. I was thinking of using cardstock built upon a strip wood framework. As I see it you could build the lower floors securly and then continue to build on the upper floors. I have studied many of these structures and there are many ways to fashion these structures.

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.

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.

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.

“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.

One of my First Materials Stashs

This was when mu materials collection was rather small. I had everything in one container. It got to a point where I had to devide my materials by type. This made it eaiser to find the materials I needed.

Rectangular Wood Water Tank Craftmen Kit

I don't rember the manufacturer of this kit.

As of today, this craftment kit or an old water tank sits unfinished.
