Ebru finds a scooter like hers, but larger!
Billie Jean on Battery Street in Burlington occasionally has a cream scooter with sidecar parked in front. It’s not a Vespa, but it’s similar enough to my 1:6 scale Vespa scooter with sidecar that I asked the owner if I could photo Ebru hanging around the full-size one. She said yes, so Ebru bravely surmounted the huge machine and posed for some photos!

The Little Dorks in…The Playroom II!
Harry, inventor, tinkerer, and childless lover of kids, made a playroom for the dorklets with art supplies, tools, toys, and all sorts of goodies. In this installment, he picks out things for Allison [teddy bears], Ethan [knitting], Theo [camera], and Meghna [camcorder].
The Little Dorks in…The Playroom I!
Harry, inventor, tinkerer, and childless lover of kids, made a playroom for the dorklets with art supplies, tools, toys, and all sorts of goodies. Here he is introducing the dorklets to it. In this installment, he picks out things for Silence [the typewriter] and Day [the tools].
The playroom represents over two decades of creating, customizing, and amassing 1:6 scale tools, toys, art supplies, and such. A lot of it is gachapon, which are miniatures that come from Japanese vending machines. Japanese vending machine miniatures are extremely detailed, of much better quality than stuff from U.S. vending machines, and often suitable for 1:6 scale use!

The Little Dorks in…Boating!
Little Allison and Little Theo went to my parents’ house with me and played with their boats in the puddles. Sadly the puddles were not deep enough for the boats to float, but they tried. Continue reading The Little Dorks in…Boating!
The Little Dorks in…The Motorwagen!
Little Silence and Ethancitx went out in Little Silence’s Motorwagen this afternoon! With temps nearing 70, I took them to the waterfront, right in front of the wastewater treatment plant. [P.U.!] It was too blustery for me to show them starting the car and getting into it, so I just showed them driving. The model is a Franklin Mint 1:8 scale reproduction of an 1885 Benz Motorwagen, the first factory line gas-powered car. It’s too small for 1:6 scale adults, but it’s perfect for 1:6 scale kids!

The Little Dorks in…Kitty!!!!!
The Little Dorks encounter a very friendly cat. @natalunasans got me a rather large figure of a munchkin [short-legged] cat recently. Though the cat only has swivel joints, its sculpting works with its articulation to achieve some expressive poses — especially when begging people for pets!
