Never really film on this part of the layout

Some of the better shots from foaming the last week - Descriptions in the alt text

One of the deepest joys of model railroading is worldbuilding. The joy of creating a world built by you and your friends is a very powerful thing. Especially in times like this. Build a little world YOU would want to live in, today!

Fun fact- there was a onechan. It was for deep-fried-online train nerds, there was an F40PH worship channel. There might still be a onechan, I wouldn't know, I don't really care to find out either. That part of my life is done and over as of 2012

I don't recall ever, EVER ever, liking or paying attention to a Web Dev post , because that shits fucking dull... and yet somehow in the last .. I don't know, week maybe?... my Discover feed has decided that I am in fact EXTREMELY into that shit, so it's FULL of tedious nonsense and release skeets

I also light my models, if asked (and this gives an opportunity to see Chester the cat in the bedroom…)

Perfect late afternoon sun on the SRTE today

Please wish my Unicomp-made IBM Model M4-1 ThinkPad Space Saver Keyboard with TrackPoint II a happy 26th birthday! 🎂

Testing 90s VHS effects :D

It was a bit of a murky day when I took the ‘glamour shots’ for this one, but the moody skies give the model a good context. Coming down low to be on eye level with the scale and matching the tree line, sells the scene…

Listening to ambient and experimental electronic mixed in with some new age stuff, while watching model rail layouts to fight off a very specific vibe that threatens to derail (pun not intended) my whole day.

being ur own boss is lame because you'll think you've stumbled upon an epiphany when you realize you can be sooo productive and get sooo much done as long as you work 12 hours a day and have no weekends and it's like riding the best high until a month goes by and you're beaten to death with a hammer

Continuing with one car while I wait for new coupler boxes. Added door hardware, end framing, grabs and ladders, roofwalk, and brake staff.

The first ALTA heavyweight baggage car is nearly complete! All that remains are numbers and window glass.

if anybody has been wondering why I've been notably less outwardly productive the last little while and more focussed on personal interests - it basically amounts to exactly this. Especially now I no longer solely rely on creative output to live, it's given me the laterality to somewhat step back

This album art started as a gouache painting on canvas but I ended up taking a pic and finishing it digitally, mostly using the clone tool to try and keep the paint texture intact 🫠

Never forget, that no matter how harsh the winter is, flowers will always grow back in time

did you know? did you know? this is still within your grasp. wowie-zowie.

Great thread about new research that shows the high accuracy of #citizenscience observations of #nativeplants in Western Australia recorded in @inaturalist.bsky.social #wildoz #ozflora

Famously associated with selfies on Rottnest Island / Wadjemup, quokka populations on the mainland have been greatly reduced by predation and land clearing. The discovery of a new quokka population in the Perth Hills is important for conservation of the species. #ConservationOptimism #EarthOptimism

You're making a sandwich. Nice. You can eat two pieces of bread, or put other pieces of food between the slices for different stat boosts. Open the ITEMs menu to choose different meats and vegetables. Once you've mastered that, come talk to me about the CONDIMENTs system.

You deserve 22 seconds of baby goats playing on a picnic table

Got some film developed recently. Quite a few good to decent stuff while I did manage to loos a roll, rip.

So if I say that this evening I’ve done the Eagle Rock, been to Nutbush and Run to Paradise, every Australian will immediately know I’ve been at a wedding reception.

Obsessed with this photo I took of a California Condor at the Oregon Zoo looking out into the rain majestically 🌧️
