The colour rendering and delicate tones are really nice here, Aldous.

Now that made me laugh, Gianluca. Brilliantly done (and well spotted).

Thank you, Gianluca. Those house plant pixies do like their comforts it seems! ;)

Thanks, Ralph. Needs a bit algae and light corrosion still. The weather clap-board will be fun. :)

A while back some friends gave me a laser-cut kit to build a balsa wood tree house for an indoor plant. I think they got the idea because I do build miniatures (I’ll share some others at some point) and ‘restored’ an old doll’s house for a friend last year. Anyway, the kit was pretty simple...

Now these I really like and the first especially adds a sense of travelling ot the image. Great suff, Gianluca.

Quite an interesting contrast it makes. The cherry trees are blossoming here too. Spring is almost upon us!

I see. I should have followed the links. Clever.

Well that was certainly a success. I wonder if you can get a bit of silicone lubricant into the motor / gears somehow.
