New pics from an old kit.
After a longer break from the subject, this is another Dorvack OAV kit, re-issued in 2007 by Aoshima. These Powered Armor kits seem to be an infinite source for creative variations, and this one here is no exception - even though I will admit that it was just a stopgap to keep myself busy while waiting for ordered parts for a German model kit contest.
But back to the kit again: This PA-36N Nove Commander Powered Armor suit is authentic, but not available as an Aoshima model kit. It is, as far as I know, an original OAV design and livery, and the personal PA of one of the series' main characters: Masato Mugen. This PA-36 is rumored to appear in the late TV series, but I cannot confirm it. Anyway, this specific PA-36 is also available as a die cast toy in 1:24 scale (as well as a red/white livery version), and pictures of this toy and its box were the basis for this kit.
The Aoshima kit was built almost right out of the box. The kit is easy to assemble, but (still) bears some flaws that were designed by Gunze Sangyo into it 25 years ago. Its main problem zone are the legs, which make assembly and painting very difficult - they are not modular, like modern kits, but have to be built step by step until you have the complete leg. While the parts are molded very well, making them fit needs some putty and creativity.
Based on the die-cast kit, they only changes were the addition of a second R2 hand laser (leftover from another kit) which was "mirrored" to fit onto the right lower arm. This double weapon feature is a common choice in the OAV, but no standard option in the PA-36 kits. Looks mean, though.
Another added authentic detail is the radar/radio dish on top of the PA, which seems to be a commander PA's detail. The dish is also an original Dorvack kit part, it comes from the PA-58 "Halk" kit. The only thing which is hard to define is the piece's exact location on top of the PA-36's hull: the die-cast kit box shows it in a very rearward position, but on the kit there is actually no space in this area to fit the dish console. The place where it ended up in my approach is plausible but can not be correct, because the dish is now located exactly on top of the gap between the hull's front and rear half section, which splits up so that the pilot can enter it... well, another puzzling anime technology feature ;)
Other enhancements include opened air intakes for the jet pack on both shoulders (instead of just painting them black), a fine grate which covers the ugly jet exhaust at the PA's back, a modified air hose on the right shoulder (I just used the original part's front and and piece and replaced the molded hoses with flexible cables), an antenna on the left shoulder and transparent lenses in the lasers' nozzles - these are clear LED tops, painted in neon pink from the back side and glued into place.
Additionally, the lasers' triple power supply cables were added. Since reference pictures and sketches indicate that these flexible cables actually lead into the air intake on the shoulders (they are pretty small, though...), I decided to add extra attachment hatches on both weapons and the PA's hull, cut from polystyrene profiles.
For painting, the choice of colors was tricky, since I only had digital pictures of the die-cast kit and its box art, with dubious light and quality. Anyway, these references indicate a basically dark blue and white livery, with upper arms and legs in silver/blank metal.
I made some color combination experiments and finally ended up with rather murky tones, because I wanted to avoid a bright, toy-like look. Consequently, the blue is of a very dark tone. The basic color is called "Oxford Blue" (Humbrol 104), but on top of that I added a cloudy coat of dry-painted "Blue" (Humbrol 25), which is a very strong and deep blue tone, almost like ultramarine. The result is a worn look, as if the brighter blue had been the PA's original color but suffered well from heavy duty - a trick which works great on tanks.
The white for the "helmet" section became a very light grey ("Lichtgrau RAL 7035", Humbrol 196, respectively), since pure white would look much too bright on the kit and not allow any further highlights with color tricks. Anyway, after the basic color was laid out, I also added here a dry-painted coat of a very light mix of Lichtgrau and White (Humbrol 34), just to keep up the "cloudy" look of the blue areas.
The blank metal parts on arms and legs as well as on the main hull were painted in three tones: basic color is "Aluminium" (Humbrol 56), but to add some visual appeal the parts were trimmed with "Gun Metal" (Humbrol 53), which is slightly darker. The round joints on arms and legs were painted with "Chrome Silver" (Humbrol 191), which is brighter than the greyish Aluminium tone.
The thin yelllow stripe on the lower legs is actually a beige tone ("Light Buff", Humbrol 7), which was also used for some other small markings all over the kit. As en experiment, the visor was laid out with a piece of thin purple/deep pink metal foil instead of silver plus a coat of translucent paint.
After a wash with black ink and some dry painting with shades of the basic colors the decals were applied. These are original and come from various other PA kits, and in contrast to the Gunze Sangyo decals of former times the new Aoshima material can actually be used! Only problem (on any PA) is the spheric surface on the knees, where the plain decals can hardly be applied at all. Here, decal softener and delicate knife cuts helped - but you can still recognize folds... :(
Finally, the whole kit received a matte finish - except for the joints and the upper arms and legs, which were coated with semi-matte varnish to enhance the metallic look. As a last step, Mugen Masato's PA was carefully weathered with silver and grinded soft pencil mine, and it also received some dirt and dust weathering with acryllic paint in sienna brown, black and ochre.
Since I had all parts and paint at hand, the building time of this kit was about 3 days. Voilà, and there are still (a lot!) more Dorvack PA's to come!
Gen. David M. Rodriguez, commander of U.S. Africa Command, mentions a need for flexibility, innovations and creativity, resourcing and regionalization during his brief to attendees of the U.S. Army Africa Senior Leader Strategy and Orientation Session in the Golden Lion conference center, Aug. 19 at Vicenza, Italy. The session is designed to help the USARAF team share ideas and experience, as well as an opportunity to get the latest information from U.S. Africa Command and European partners. The session also offers a venue for fresh perspectives as new personnel and Spouses are introduced. Some of the other topics discussed during this session include security cooperation, role of and responsibilities of an Army Service Component Command, and various briefings from fellow AFRICOM units.

The Grumman F6F Hellcat was a carrier-based fighter aircraft developed to replace the earlier F4F Wildcat in United States Navy service. Although the F6F bore a family resemblance to the Wildcat, it was a completely new design powered by a 2,000 hp Pratt & Whitney R-2800. Some tagged it as the "Wildcat's big brother".[3] The Hellcat and the Vought F4U Corsair were the primary USN fighters during the second half of World War II.
The Hellcat was the first US Navy fighter for which the design took into account lessons from combat with the Japanese Zero.[4] The Hellcat proved to be the most successful aircraft in naval history, destroying 5,271 aircraft[5] while in service with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps (5,163 in the Pacific and eight more during the invasion of Southern France, plus 52 with the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm during World War II.)[6] Postwar, the Hellcat aircraft was systematically phased out of front line service, but remained in service as late as 1954 as a night-fighter in composite squadrons.

======================
CSS Shenandoah, formerly Sea King, was an iron-framed, teak-planked, full-rigged sailing ship with auxiliary steam power chiefly known for her actions under Lieutenant Commander James Waddell as part of the Confederate navy during the American Civil War.[3]
Shenandoah was originally a UK merchant vessel launched as Sea King on August 17, 1863, but was later re-purposed as one of the most feared commerce raiders in the Confederate navy.
During a period of 12 1⁄2 months from 1864 to 1865, the ship undertook commerce raiding around the world in an effort to disrupt the US economy, resulting in the capture and sinking or bonding of thirty-eight merchant vessels, mostly New Bedford whaleships.
She finally surrendered on the River Mersey, Liverpool, UK, on November 6, 1865, six months after the war had ended.
Her flag was the last sovereign Confederate flag to be officially furled.
Shenandoah is also known for having fired the last shot of the Civil War, across the bow of a whaler in waters off the Aleutian Islands.[4]
Contents
The vessel had three names and many owners in her lifetime of nine years. She was designed as an auxiliary composite passenger cargo vessel of 1,018 tons and built in 1863 by Alexander Stephen & Sons, Glasgow, Scotland, for Robertson & Co., Glasgow, to be named Sea King.
The vessel was intended for the East Asia tea trade and as a troop transport.
While she was being fitted out at the builders, US representatives assessed the ship for purchase.[5] After change of owner and a number of trips to the Far East carrying cargo and to New Zealand transporting troops to the New Zealand Wars, the Confederate Navy assessed and purchased her from Wallace Bros of Liverpool.
The purchase was made in secret; it was completed on 18 October 1864, and the next day the ship was renamed CSS Shenandoah.
The ship was to be converted into an armed cruiser with a mission to capture and destroy Union merchant ships.[citation needed]
Liverpool was the unofficial home port of the Confederate overseas fleet, and Confederate Commander James Dunwoody Bulloch was based in the city. The city provided ships, crews, munitions, and provisions of war.[6]
Sea King had sailed from London on 8 October 1864, ostensibly for Bombay, on a trading voyage.
The supply steamer Laurel sailed from Liverpool the same day. The two ships rendezvoused at Funchal, Madeira, with Laurel carrying the officers and the nucleus of Shenandoah's crew, together with naval guns, ammunition, and ship's stores.
Shenandoah's commander, Lieutenant James Iredell Waddell, supervised her conversion to a man-of-war in nearby waters. However, Waddell was barely able to bring his crew to even half strength, despite additional volunteers from the merchant sailors on Sea King and from Laurel.[citation needed]
The new Confederate cruiser was commissioned on 19 October 1864, lowering the Union Jack and raising the "Stainless Banner", and was renamed CSS Shenandoah.[3]
As developed in the Confederate Navy Department and by its agents in Europe, Shenandoah was tasked to strike at the Union's economy and "seek out and utterly destroy" commerce in areas yet undisturbed.
Captain Waddell began seeking enemy merchant ships on the Indian Ocean route between the Cape of Good Hope and Australia, and in the Pacific whaling fleet.[3]
En route to the Cape, the Confederates captured six prizes. Five were burned or scuttled, after the crew and passengers had been removed.
The sixth was bonded and used to transport the prisoners to Bahia, Brazil, where they were released.
Still short-handed, Shenandoah arrived at Melbourne, Colony of Victoria, on January 25, 1865, where she filled her complement and her storerooms.[7]
She also signed on 40 crew members who had been stowaways from Melbourne.
They were not enlisted until the ship was outside the Colony of Victoria's territorial waters.[7]
The Shipping Articles show all 40 crew members had enlisted on the day of her departure from Melbourne, February 18, 1865.
However, nineteen of Waddell's crew deserted at Melbourne, some giving statements of their service to the United States Consul.
Shenandoah took only one prize in the Indian Ocean, but hunting became more profitable after refitting in Melbourne.
En route to the North Pacific whaling grounds, on April 3–4, Waddell burned four whalers in the Caroline Islands.
After a three-week cruise to the ice and fog of the Sea of Okhotsk yielded only a single prize, due to a warning which had preceded him, Waddell headed north past the Aleutian Islands into the Bering Sea and the Arctic Ocean. Shenandoah then proceeded to capture 11 more prizes.[8]
The rich whaling grounds in the Bering Sea between Siberia and Alaska had been a safe haven for Yankee whalers for most of the American Civil War.
This prosperous whaling ended in the spring and summer of 1865 when Shenandoah arrived and captured twenty of the fifty-eight Yankee whalers working here.
These whalers were destroyed more than a month after CSA President Jefferson Davis was captured on May 10, 1865.
On June 27, 1865, Waddell learned from a prize, Susan & Abigail, that General Robert E. Lee had surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia almost three months earlier at Appomattox Court House.
Susan & Abigail's captain produced a San Francisco newspaper reporting the flight from Richmond of the Confederate government 10 weeks previously.
However, the newspaper also contained President Davis' proclamation that the "war would be carried on with re-newed vigor."[9] Waddell then captured 10 more whalers in the space of seven hours just below the Arctic Circle.
On August 3, 1865, Waddell learned of the war's definite end when Shenandoah encountered the Liverpool barque Barracouta, which
was bound for San Francisco. Waddell was heading to the city to attack it, believing it weakly defended[10] He learned of the surrender of Johnston's army on April 26, and Kirby Smith's army on May 26, and most crucially of the capture of President Davis. Captain Waddell then knew the war was over.[9]
Captain Waddell lowered the Confederate flag, and Shenandoah underwent physical alteration. Her guns were dismounted and stored below deck, and her hull was painted to look like an ordinary merchant vessel.[11][12]
I took this photo in some plant outside the house, Anyone notice the custom Kama? It's been 2 weeks without my sigfig and a few Clones. I left it along with some MOCs in the ToyCon last June 18-19. I picked it up yesterday in Build City, a local all LEGO store. I picked up some Series 4 Minifigs also, Hazmat, Street Skater and Painter. Check this out, Revenge Of The Sith in 5 Seconds. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSfuaGNyHV4 Also, I won't be able to upload pics of my new MOC, my camera broke earlier, someone slammed the lens on a wet table, it keeps saying 'Write Error' anyone know how to fix it?

The Garden District in New Orleans is one of the main areas of tourism after the French Quarter. It's not a place that has sat well with me over time, and I've tried to pinpoint the reason. It comes down to this: there's nothing interactive about it; very little to get passionate about. But, first, a little history...
The Garden District was originally part of the Livaulais Plantation in the early 1800s. It eventually became subdivided and filled with beautiful Italianate, Victorian, and Greek Revival mansions on oak-lined streets. The houses were almost exclusively owned by Americans (as opposed to the French or Creoles who were in the French Quarter and Esplanade, and the working class German and Irish of Marigny, not to mention people of color. So...this was basically the upper class "white" neighborhood.
In 1832, this was actually the independent city of Lafayette (hence Lafayette Cemetery #1 & #2), which was eventually incorporated into the city of New Orleans as the 10th Ward. Fast forward to today, and here's what you find...
Historic, beautiful homes -- as mentioned above -- but, they're all privately owned, so you can't go into them (nor should you be able to, since...they're privately owned). But, all Garden District tours will walk you through this neighborhood and point out all of these houses that remind you that you can't touch them, and that these people are richer than you.
Many celebrities live, or have lived in this neighborhood. Anne Rice lived in two houses here. Nicolas Cage had a house here. John Goodman lives here now, full-time. Sandra Bullock owns a house here, though is rarely in town. The football Mannings (Peyton, Eli) grew up in the Garden District and their parents (Archie, also a football legend in his own right) still live here.
Within the Garden District -- which is only about 50-60 blocks -- almost everything is residential. The exceptions are: Commander's Palace, which started as a saloon and is now an upscale Creole restaurant (where Paul Prudhomme and Emeril Lagasse got their culinary starts), Lafayette Cemetery #1 (very photogenic, used in many television shows and movies, historic -- and closed indefinitely to preserve it), and the Rink Shopping Center (where the Garden District Book Shop is). Lafayette Cemetery #2, by the way, is actually 6 blocks away, across St. Charles, outside the neighborhood.
The majority of the Garden District that may appeal to you are on its periphery. The borders of the neighborhood are Toledano Avenue, Magazine Street, Jackson Avenue, and St. Charles Avenue.
It's very easy to reach the neighborhood from the French Quarter via the St. Charles streetcar (the oldest continuously operated streetcar in the world, running daily since 1835) which makes about 4-5 stops next to the Garden District. The opposite side of St. Charles, 4 blocks down, is Magazine Street, where you can find a lot of boutiques and a variety of restaurants to fit any budget. Magazine Street...is definitely worth checking out. And while you're there to grab a bite to eat, you can wander around the Garden District for a few minutes afterwards to walk off whatever you ate.

Apollo 16 was the tenth manned mission in the United States Apollo space program, the fifth and penultimate to land on the Moon and the first to land in the lunar highlands. The second of the so-called "J missions," it was crewed by Commander John Young, Lunar Module Pilot Charles Duke and Command Module Pilot Ken Mattingly. Launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 12:54 PM EST on April 16, 1972, the mission lasted 11 days, 1 hour, and 51 minutes, and concluded at 2:45 PM EST on April 27.
John Young and Charles Duke spent 71 hours—just under three days—on the lunar surface, during which they conducted three extra-vehicular activities or moonwalks, totaling 20 hours and 14 minutes. The pair drove the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), the second produced and used on the Moon, 26.7 kilometers (16.6 mi). On the surface, Young and Duke collected 95.8 kilograms (211 lb) of lunar samples for return to Earth, while Command Module Pilot Ken Mattingly orbited in the Command/Service Module (CSM) above to perform observations. Mattingly spent 126 hours and 64 revolutions in lunar orbit. After Young and Duke rejoined Mattingly in lunar orbit, the crew released a subsatellite from the Service Module (SM). During the return trip to Earth, Mattingly performed a one-hour spacewalk to retrieve several film cassettes from the exterior of the Service Module.
Apollo 16's landing spot in the highlands was chosen to allow the astronauts to gather geologically older lunar material than the samples obtained in the first four landings, which were in or near lunar maria. Samples from the Descartes Formation and the Cayley Formation disproved a hypothesis that the formations were volcanic in origin.
