The alert came in at around 0800; a break-in at some old Nova Corps outpost. Now usually I don’t like dealing with this type of alarm, but maybe I could pawn off some useful tech while I was there. I docked the Jett in the outpost’s bay about an hour later and made my way in. Most of this looks like it hasn’t been used in a while. Walls are rusting, lights barely turn on. I’m shocked this place even has any power left. Suddenly, I hear a creak to my left. I flip around; nothing.
“Come on, Quill. It’s probably nothing. Ship’s older than dirt. It probably blitzed out and sent that-”
Another creak. Two...three. I get my blaster ready and sneak down the hallway. Swear to God, if this is a Brood.
”Hey!”
A light shines in my eye and I raise my blaster, letting off a shot. It streaks into the wall, and the light flashes off.
”The Hell is wrong with you? I can’t believe you - well, no shit. Petey?”
Wait. I recognize that voice. I rub my eyes and look up to see a very familiar face.
“You gotta be kidding me. Mikel?”
We walk towards each other, arms outstretched, and give each other a firm hug. Mikel was one of my mentors back when I was with the Ravagers. He left when I was 19, though. Haven’t seen him since.
“How’ve you been, man? This is unreal. You know I was this close to taking your head off?”
”With that peashooter of yours? Hahaha, naw. You couldn’t shoot the ears off a Skrull with that thing. And I’ve been swell. Picking up scavenger jobs every now and then. Why I’m here now, actually. How’d you get here?”
“I picked up the alarm you tripped, dumbass. Figured if anyone was here, it’d be someone I could catch a bounty for. Last person I expected was you.”
”Forgot you’d taken up the bounty hunter gig. What’d the ads call you again? ‘Star-Man’?”
I sigh and press a fist against my temple, “...Star-Lord. And anyways, yeah. It’s a lot better pay than Ravager duty and I don’t have to deal with Yondu threatening to cook me into a stew anymore.”
Mikel chuckles and signals me to walk with him. We make our way back to the bay, and he presses a button on his wrist. A small ship fizzles into view; I don’t know why I didn’t think a ship could be hidden in here.
”Look, all jokin’ aside, I’m proud of ya. You got away from Yondu and his goons, you’re making a name for yourself. That’s good. Oh, and I think I got something you’ll be interested in.”
He pulls up a datafile and hands it to me. I activate it and see a picture of a Zen-Whoberi woman. There’s more, some of her with weaponry, a mugshot. Hey, I know her.
“Is this..?”
”Yep. Gamora. Daughter of Thanos. Nova Corps put out a 500,000 credit bounty on her head after she helped take out a Shi’ar colony. Doubt anyone worth their balls would wanna risk their life trying to nab her. But, I know someone who might be.”
I groan as he looks at me with a wink. This chick is known as the most dangerous woman in the galaxy. Everything I’ve heard about her has been her helping her dad commit mass murder. Is she worth it?
“...500,000 credits is a lot. I’ll think about it.”
Mikel nods, and we make our final goodbyes. He takes off and I get back in the Jett. I sit there for a while, thinking. This...could work. With a plan forming in my mind, I set a course for Knowhere and take off. Only someone dumb and greedy enough would help me hunt down a deadly assassin. Luckily, I know just the pair of greedy idiots.

1.2 erzeugt schon einen sehr schmalen Schärfebereich :)
Kamera: Panasonic Lumix G3
Objektiv: Canon FD 50mm 1:1.2
This is an experiment in building a 1:15 figure.
I built this for a friend (you know who you are!) who might use this principle in one of his future builds.
Based a man of 6ft/180cms. Normally I would superhero-ify my builds by increasing the size of their chest, reduce their waist and lengthen their legs but this is guy has been left 'normal'.
I have purposely left him unfinished so details and gadgets can be added to him later. By changing the colours of the tiles you can easily create clothing.
It was challenging to produce a figure that can do all the poses required (see next photo). If required you can change the elbows to clip hinges (as opposed to plate hinges as shown here).
I hope you like him, at the very least I hope he has given you some ideas.

This chibi Thunderbird 1 was build for the Chibi Micro Contest organized by The Brothers Brick.
The task was to build a 'Star Wars microfighter' style version of my favorite movie, TV or LEGO theme vehicle. Thunderbirds is a childhood memory of mine: I used to watch it when I came out of school.
MOCs: Sauber C33 & Williams FW36, modern interpretations of the LEGO sets Dragster from 1986 and Octan F1 Race Car.
Part of my "Updated Classics" series - an ever-growing number of sets I've re-interpreted in order to make them fit better with modern LEGO City vehicles and buildings...
...although I do have to admit that the story with these two was a bit different from how it's normally been with these updates. I normally take an old set and translate it into a newer shape - but after having built my F1 Transporter and Ferrari F14 T to go with it, I thought it could use a couple more F1 cars for company.
LEGO has produced a lot of small F1-style cars over the years, so I went through the whole lot to see if I could find one or two with colour schemes that vaguely reminded me of actual 2014 livery. I ended up with the oddly named Dragster, in black, and the Octan F1 Race Car, in white, which I felt could be translated into a believable Sauber & Williams duo.
And yes, the drivers' positions aren't perfect. The cockpits are the biggest design flaws - they're too open, and the drivers sit too high. But this is, I believe, the best compromise - any solution to make it look better would result in either mutilating the minifig or raising the cockpit profile, which ruins the sleek shape.
All stickers are official LEGO stickers (which explains the lack of proper Sauber/Williams logos on the cars).
I think 1 of the Perseid meteors made it through our atmosphere... this looks too alien to be from here :P
Male Spiny Leaf Insect (Extatosoma tiaratum)
It's actually a species of stick insect, not a true leaf insect.
A bit strange that it was here where I live because they are a sub-tropical to tropical insect usually, which is why I was so surprised to see it.
If viewed at the wrong angle, the pointy end of its head looks like the front or mouth end... tilt your head to the left or right and you should see what I mean :)
-- Canon F-1 Camera (S/N 252xxx) 1971-1976
-- Eye-level finder
-- CANON LENS FD 55mm 1:1.2 S.S.C. ASPHERICAL (S/N 68xxx) (radioactive)
Body weight = 827g (with finder)
Taken with a Canon T2i/550D and Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens at f/5.6. 63 1/30-second exposures at ISO100 in a focus stack (DoF stack) were combined with Zerene Stacker using DMap mode. Shooting was done tethered to a PC using the Canon EOS utility. Focus stepping was done by pressing the live view ">" focus button once between each exposure in the stack.
Switched out the 24-70 2.8 today to try out my 50 1.4G on the D700. It did not disappoint!
Jason you were right :)
A new year, a new daily self-portrait project.
I struggled coming up with an idea/plan. I needed to be reasonable in finding something I can actually do every single day consistently. I had a few ideas centering around the word "raw." A "this is middle age" sort of chronicle with documentary-style photos and a combination of self-portraits overlaid with garbage from the day were two concepts I pondered. I like overlaying a second image as I did this past year. I loved the ones where I used writing.
Which brought me to this:
A daily self-portrait, any or all of me in it but all probably pretty raw/bare images, with an overlay of a short journal-style entry I write the same day about any thought(s) roaming my brain.
I'm going to try hard to write uncensored and be brave about what I post. This will be by its nature personal and intimate, and probably pretty weird at times too. :)
The Tiger 1 was a famed (and feared) German tank of WW2.
It was my first WW2 AFV and has been overhauled two times. Finally, I'm totally happy with it.
The changes since the original are:
-Strengthened chassis.
-Completely new turret with better shaping and larger cupola.
-Lengthened chassis for an extra wheel and more detail.
-More detail with on the back of the tank.
-Removable part on the back of the turret to convert the Tiger from an early production model to a later model (If anyone could tell me what it's called it would be great).

Taken at f/1.1. You can buy this lens for around $400, but I think this is good at portraits and is not at landscapes.

On the "Golden State Route", 274 miles west of Kansas City, Kansas, Rock Island's westbound freight #1 arrives at 1806 behind SP SD45, SP U33c, U33c, two more units (SP8832-SP8748-191- ? - ? - 257.) The train has stopped here to change crews, as a crew would take this train from Herington (where the Texas Gulf route splits off to go south) to Pratt, and another would take it from here to Liberal. The route was single track - from Herington, where double track from the east ended - and governed by timetable and train order while Automatic Block Signals provided protection. Timetable speed was 60mph, and trains did move along with it. During the TRAINS Magazine speed surveys of the '60s, Rock Island consistently racked up some of the highest speeds in the survey while out in this country, and I've no doubt that 60mph was considered to be "just a suggestion." Sadly, by this time the track was becoming more and more affected by the Rock's financial condition and the deterioration had set in…but I think that many crews were still trying to live the Glory Days, just as I saw on the Texas Gulf main. With Espee supplying power like this, who could blame them?
