L-R
Rahs Ul Ghul (probably spelled that wrong)
Made a custom cape out of construction paper and put a custom decal on him.
Deathstroke
This figure is more of a test to see what combinations I like and the decals I combine with. So far this combination looks pretty OK. sooner or later I'm planning on getting a deathstroke head of bricklink.
Dick Grayson (circus)
Thought this is a cool idea since I haven't seen a lot of customs take advantage of the peter pan arms and legs. And I thought that those pieces would look great with a robin torso. And this is the result.
metallo
I just made this just to see how it would turn up, and...I think it looks pretty dumb. I used the yellow jacked torso and legs but couldn't find a head to match metallo, so I made this horrible decal for the head. In the future I will hopefully find a better head.
Lex Luthor
Nothing special. Found the clone head to look a lot like lex. So I used it with the Killian torso.
* Whistler is a strange place clearly manufactured for the winter Olympics in 2010 it has the feel of an upscale retail park . It was beautifully manicured and I guess well planned I was reminded of the movie “The Truman show “ . I would like to know where they put all the workers are they lodged in caves underground .
Nevertheless I am glad we visited the town . If for no other reason than to experience the Peak 2 Peak Gondola from Whistler mountain to Blackcomb it is one hell of a ride. It was built in 2008 at the cost of 51 million Canadian dollars and I can see where the money went .
To use the peak 2 peak you have to take a gondola either up Whistler or Blackcomb mountain which takes about 25 minutes . You then take the Peak 2 Peak that crosses above the Fitzsimmons Creek valley between the two mountains and it feels like you are hanging in space .
A few facts about the peak 2 peak . It is the worlds highest lift of its type , it's the worlds longest unsupported span . The total length is 2.7 miles of which 1.8 is unsupported by any towers the highest point is 1427 feet above the valley bottom .
The weather was not good really but it was rather exciting to move through the clouds and mist and every so often it would clear and you had great views of the valley below . Perhaps the weather of the time of the year meant it was fairly quiet we shared a cabin with two Canadian women who rode it regularly and clearly loved it . On the return trip we were on our own, what was odd was how quiet the machine was it was very peaceful and dreamlike slowly drifting across space . I am not one for getting excited by engineering but this was an exception the design of this thing was clearly of a very high quality . I could have happily travelled back and forth all afternoon watching clouds.
At the top of Whistler mountain you can even climb higher and walk across the Cloudraker Skybridge and Raven’s Eye Cliff Walk. This was pretty scary but I will post a shot of it sometime
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED

Miss girl rip-roaring through the snow a few weeks ago. We've had warm days and lots of rain lately, but somehow there is still over a foot of snow in the pastures. Moxy does not mind.
Once again the community of Mansfield Woodhouse took to the street to Honour and Remember the Fallen of the town. It was a very humbling and emotional place to be. We Will Remember Them.

SiMo from the FPS-shooter and tower defense game Sanctum 2. One of my favourite games.
Description taken from the wiki:
Built to function as a mobile communication device connected to the military base, SiMo accompanies the Core Guardians and assists them. Robotic technology in Elysion One has been developed over several years and SiMo was one of the first models from its batch. It is considered to have developed into one of the most successful units since the SiMo model was introduced as a part of the military. A programmed ability to learn from experience over time means that the longer a robot is used in the field, the more it learns and adapts to situations in battle and social interaction. Because of all its years of service it is able to act naturally around humans despite not having any real emotions itself. It monitors their behaviour and calculates appropriate emotional responses to make sure its team keeps their spirits up or if it wants to it can make them feel really uncomfortable, just for laughs.
Its main function in the group is to guard the Core Guardians and use that sniper rifle which it can wield with excellent accuracy. It keeps track of missions, coordinates and calculates risks, protecting its team like a bodyguard. As if its default functions weren’t enough, Haigen has made some personal modifications to make sure SiMo really has all the abilities the team needs. To modify a SiMo-unit isn’t exactly legal but the longer the unit stays with the same team, the more loyalty it develops towards its mates. SiMo also acts as a moving sketchbook for Sweet who happens to enjoy drawing and putting stickers all over it. It’s fine with that if it keeps her happy. Androids might not be able to fully understand friendship, but its knowledge of the concept is enough. SiMo can be really likeable if it wants to.
This model has been finished for several months now but I really wanted to get the colors right so I decided to get me some stickers for the orange lines. I'm no fan of stickers/paints/etc...But there is a first time for everything.
iPad 2 is here and after resisting for few hours i found a compelling reason to buy it. i didn't know why would i need one until i saw this little connector which actually provides a USB connection with iPad and we can view our images directly from the camera on a bigger screen while shooting. Trust me there is nothing better than being able to view quickly on a bigger screen what we are actually getting and if we need to make changes right on the spot and re-shoot the scene.

Today Queen Mary 2 arrived in Liverpool for the 175th Anniversary celebration of Cunard. A firework display mid-river was put on in celebration.
another from yesterday morning, im really impressed with the dynamic range of this nikon d7200, it produces great colours too, maybe i should use it more for landscapes, but i still find the canon controls and features a bit easier to use, cant deny the sensors take great images though

Another shot of the W Hotel in downtown Dallas, TX from right in front of the American Airlines Center. It was a very foggy day and you can see behind the W hotel how low and thick the fog was. The bright light to the left of the W is the sun trying to break through the clouds and fog.
