I have not quite sorted that yet but there is another approach that takes text directives and creates an image. So, in honour of Areomodellers as a test I put in the phrase
"A eurasian magpie sitting on a model airplane, white background, line art style" and this is what I got:
I then tried "A eurasian magpie sitting on a model spitfire airplane, white background, vector art style" and I got:
I then tried "A eurasian magpie sitting on a model spitfire airplane, white background, low polygon style" and I got quite a good image:
Whether our 'magpie' finds any of these interesting or strange or delightful or utter rubbish... it does seem possible to generate some images for aeromodeller folk based on some key words. Whether it would know all that much about different aircraft has yet to be determined. It was fun exploring. The software pushed my computer to the absolute limits, about 2 minutes per image.
So if someone wants to suggest some phrases and or a style of art I could try some more. -Jon

I searched for "Budgie" on one site but it just gave the standard Wikipedia answer.
I particularly like the Georgian cartoonists like Gilray & Hogarth. See what you get with that.
Jimmy Kimmel has done a good job on the video of Trump storming out of an interview.

It works better with 16GB or more. The specific beastie under it all is a 'model' called FLUX.1-schnell.
It took me a week of wandering around the web to begin to get my head around it. There is serious jargon in this corner of the world. Perhaps more than in RC....
More later - I have been called down for soup....

We swore when we took over the railway back in 2024 that we wouldn’t put anything political, etc., on here.We’re meant to be that escape for you all from the pressures of day-to-day life!BUT….Our little railway, as well as every other business in the UK that deals with metal, is about to be hit!(The following words have been borrowed from Matt Chivers, who sums it up all too well.)The UK government is about to send metal prices through the roof from 1st July 2026, and then again from 1st January 2027. This is about to cripple many businesses and the engineering sector within the UK, and nobody is talking about it. This will affect everyone, including end users of any metal-related products, as well as home engineers, plumbers, gas fitters, and many others.Prices on steel and non-ferrous metals are about to have a 50% tariff placed on them from 1st July 2026. Any metal imported from outside the UK will be subject to the tariff. This includes all non-ferrous metals (the UK produces none) and around 70% of all steel, which is imported.Then, in January, the government is introducing the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which will inflate prices even further.If you’d like to read more about this, please visit the link below from High Peak Steel: highpeaksteels.com What can you do about it? If you’re a UK resident, sign the petition today to help get the government to revisit this legislation — and share the hell out of it! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/767467#main-content Please help us, and others across the UK, by signing!

Stood in the village with my grandson to watch them go by, lead by 5 traction engines blowing their whistles to impress the crowd!
The restored "historic" vehicles followed.
It makes you feel very old when you can not only recognise the majority of them but I had actually owned two as my own transport, a 1963 "Austin 7" Mini and a 1972 Dolomite Sprint although neither were new when I bought them!
