I was awestruck by this display. The density of detail between the buildings, people, and ships, is almost overwhelming. This was the last diorama of the series (or the first depending on which way you were coming from). The California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento was worth visiting for this series of dioramas alone.
*Smuggler’s Cove*
This O scale narrow gauge layout, Smuggler’s Cove, built by Michael Flack and the late Geoff Knott in Australia, depicts a fictional New England fishing community modeled after towns in coastal Massachusetts and Maine. Small and large fishing boats and the steamboat Sabino near the Maritime Museum play a prominent role in this coastal diorama. Look for intricate details such as the scratch built lobster traps, floats, and fish crates stacked on the pier. How many seagulls can you spot in Smuggler’s Cove?
*Geoff Knott and Michael Flack*
The late Geoff Knott and Michael Flack were insprred to build Smuggler’s Cove after discovering the history of rum-running along the East Coast of the US, in the carly 1900s, their inspiration for Smuggler’s Cove came after Geoff and Michael traveled to New England and visited Cape Cod, Boothbay Harbor, Bar Harbor, and Kennebunkport, Geoff and Michael helped to popularize O scale models. <Layout furnished by the Australasian Region of the NMRA>.

*Arguably Kizuna's theme is either of the hacker themes, but in Episode 10 her section of the end credits was actually "A Hero's Weakness"

Being confidently knowledgeable about something sucks actually because I want to talk more at length about if Ben Tennyson got a DNA sample of a Transformer, but I immediately figured out most of the details about that and there's not really space for me to talk about it further

Caught a serene slice of Ventana Canyon with the sun casting a soft glow over the rugged landscape. The towering saguaros stand sentinel as the city peeks through the valley below – nature's masterpiece!

i will say. i have no idea what horse i want next (assuming i can afford to have another horse). Romeo is no longer rideable for me, and most lesson barns are just not going to have a horse big enough for me to ride. For wiggle room / insurance that I won't outgrow another horse, I am genuinely wondering if draft or draft mule isnt my best bet? the only other option imo is to pick out whatever the chunkiest quarter horse is and cross my fingers.

I'm drawing a little colloquial map for a TFP cyberforming AU (I've mentioned it before a few times, usually when i call myself a redneck) and by a colloquial map i mean it's supposed to seem like the character tried mapping out their surroundings and labeling various areas like where Decepticons do patrols or certain energon deposits/rivers/ect.

Visited the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, and they had a scale model railroad display. I honestly like seeing them to learn what I can for my own craft. This was one of them.
Lime Kiln
The Lime Kiln diorama, based on an actual set of lans in Felton, California, was built by the late Jim Vail. Look for the miniature workers in the kiln, and the detail of the limestones as they are processed. The lime from Felton was used to make cement for the growing city of San Francisco and surrounding Bay Area cities.
West Side Lumber
Located in Tuolumne, a small city in the Sierra Foothills, the West Side Lumber Company once operated an extensive logging operation served by a narrow gauge railroad. This HO scale model by Jim Vail is a foreshortened representation of the sawmill, which was modified to include a small farm scene.

so, random initial thoughts on Starfield
30 minutes in i opened a cabinet and a nearby barrel that happened to slightly clip in front of it got launched at hyperspeed straight into my ankles killing me instantly, we are so back
...but jokes aside god damn the technical side is a bit of a mess.
no way to change FOV without digging in .ini files
the local map is terrible and shows almost nothing (not that it was ever good in other games but at least you could see places)
and so far the writing is throwing out big ideas and references which... i really hope bethesda can stick the landing with them but considering the usual quality i have my doubts
