Earth as viewed from 10,000 miles. In 1967, the Apollo 4 (Spacecraft 017/Saturn 501) unmanned test flight made a great ellipse around Earth as a test of the translunar motors and of the high speed entry required of a human flight returning from the moon. A 70mm camera was programmed to look out a window toward Earth, and take a series of photographs from "high apogee". Coastal Brazil, Atlantic Ocean, West Africa, Antarctica, looking west. This photograph was made when the Apollo 4 spacecraft, still attached to the S-IVB (third) stage, was orbiting Earth at an altitude of 9,544 miles.

The NCA (New Canadian Army) proposed NASA and its engineers to work with them in designing and building a new mech to support space operations. With NASA no longer sending men into space anytime soon, they had no reason to resist.
The mechas original purpose was to be used in space for building or repairing space stations and space crafts, it was also purposed to be used as a combat mecha where it had an edge to most mecha that were used on Earth and just outfitted with some space boosters.
Though the Apollo was not designed to be strictly used in space, it also had the ability to be used in the sky and even on the ground. Though space is where it proves itself to be the most useful.
The Apollo comes standard with 4 arms, 2 main ones on each side of the body and 2 sub arms that are folded into the legs. The subs-arms are able to come out and be used for holding smaller weapons or simple tools. With limited movement and being connected to the legs, trained pilots find great use of the sub arms.
The Apollo also comes with 2 small propellant tanks in case there is a cut out of an enrgy source to the main engine, not saying there will be or has been. The tanks are there as an extra precaution so that no one is left stranded in space floating around until they die of starvation because that is no fun.

Yet another weird backstory but I wanted to do it.
Man it seems like it's been ages since I built a pretty decent mech, feels good to finally build one that I like though.
So anyways, some of you might have seen this a while back with no left arm and very slightly different. Yea, it didn't change at all even though I made it seem like it would ;_;
Also those propellant tanks are just a bad cover up for a stand for this thing :P I used t-bars to make up the joints and it isn't all that well balanced so it was pretty much needed.
I might need to redo some of this and make it a bit bigger so that I can change joints out here and there and make it all the more stable so it doesn't need to rely on the propellant tanks too much.
Now for something a little off topic. This really only concerns people who are apart of the 3rd round in the NPU contest.
WHY DOES NO ONE SEEM TO HAVE THIS PIECE.
I picked it cause I thought a lot of you would have it, I'm upset by this 3:
Anyways, enjoy :P
"The apollo sport is the rebel amongst the super sport cars. Its bodywork combines sexy curves with potent edges and angles and aims for uncompromising aerodynamics. A clear demonstration of the principle form follows function. Its challenging sporting design derives from the requirement to built a street legal racing car, whose number one priority is to provide extraordinary performance on the circuit, but at the same time embodying a vehicle suitable for daily use..."

I just love taking photos of bridges. I return to the ones in Bratislava quite often, always trying to get a better shot :). So here is another one of the Apollo bridge, taken about an hour after the sunset. You can see the Bratislava port behind the bridge.

The temple was built at the end of the 8th century BC, which was 10.20 meters wide, 24 meters long and slightly narrowed towards the east and according to the foundations of secos (sacred courtyard) walls uncovered in the north and south parts. The simple and small temple contained a cult statue, an altar, a sacred source and the symbols of Apollo. Remains of a columned building which is 15.50 meters long and 3.60 meters wide, revealed by exploratory digging carried out to the south-west of the temple.

Apollo INS 179 on the slip at Buckie getting a new coat of blue paint. Built in 2001 in Skagen, Denmark, it's still a fine looking vessel.
Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong (rear) and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin E. Aldrin (front) practice lunar surface mobility at the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, on April 18, 1969. Aldrin has a camera attached to the chest area of his space suit. This method of attaching the camera is under study. The astronauts are in pressurized space suits.

Apollo Bay is a coastal town in southwestern Victoria. It is situated on the eastern side of Cape Otway, along the edge of the Barham River and on the Great Ocean Road, in the Colac Otway Shire.
In winter to spring, Southern Right Whales come to the area mainly to breed, to give birth their calves, and to rise them in the warmer, calm waters of South Australia during their migration season. Less frequently, Humpback Whales can be seen off the coast.
Apollo Bay was part of the traditional lands of the Gadubanud or King Parrot people of the Cape Otway coast.
In the 1840s the Henty brothers established a whaling station at Point Bunbury on the western end of the bay. The bay was named by a Captain Loutit in 1845 when he sheltered his vessel, the Apollo, here from a storm.
The first European settlers were timber cutters in the 1850s who subsequently established sawmills. Farmers later moved into the area and a small settlement on Apollo Bay named Middleton developed. A Post Office of that name opened on 1 May 1873 (relocated to the township of Krambruk in 1881 and renamed Apollo Bay in 1898). During this period almost all access to the area was by sea.
The township of Krambruk (later to be renamed Apollo Bay) was established in 1877, and a school was open by 1880.
With the upgrade of the road to the town in 1927 and the completion of the Great Ocean Road in 1932, the town became a tourist destination and an important fishing port.
In 1936 a submarine telegraph and telephone cable from Apollo Bay to Stanley provided the first connection to Tasmania from the mainland. The Apollo Bay Telegraph station closed in 1963 and is now a museum.
On July 10, 1932 the coastal steamer Casino sank while attempting to berth at the town jetty. Ten lives were lost. Earlier shipwrecks have occurred along the Cape Otway coastline.
Now, that's a view for breakfast, and an encouraging way to start the day's adventure.

Apollo, coming in for a landing.
Such an absolutely adorable little critter.
I am struggling to come up with the shots that I really want to get with him so far. I know, it's only been a day and a half.
I find it's nearly impossible to compose a shot, focus, and get enough light for it to be visible. I either end up compromising on the shot I want, creatively, or it just doesn't turn out the way I want it to be.
I want to be fair to my followship because if I am going to flood you with endless cat photos, I want to at least make sure they are great photos. I don't want to be "that guy".
I am excited for the weekend for when I will have uninterrupted time to experiment with some ideas. Mainly, I want to be able to use natural light and take advantage of faster shutter speeds, maybe even some action shots; he's already quite acrobatic.
If you have any tips or suggestions for feline photography, hit me up in the comments. Thanks!

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Neil A. Armstrong, Commander for the Apollo 11 Moon-landing mission, practices for the historic event in a Lunar Module simulator in the Flight Crew Training Building at KSC. Accompanying Armstrong on the Moon flight will be Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr.
Apollo (our golden eagle) is now 140 day’s old. We took him to the forest for his first flight without any rope… Just be free!!!! He had fun!
Wir haben Apollo fĂĽr seinen ersten freien Flug mit in den Wald genommen. Apollo ist unser ca. 140 Tage alter Steinadler.

From the original Battlestar Galactica. My old Majestic Studios 12" figures get their heads upgraded!
These custom headsculpts arrived this morning from Warriors Gate Productions; they came unpainted so I've had my pots of paint out for most of the day and I'm pretty pleased with the results so far (just need some decent gloss varnish for the eyes). I like WGP's Apollo sculpt but their Starbuck one is superb; Dirk Benedict in miniature. Both are massive improvements over Majestic's original sculpts.
