vintage ma-ba gashapon cyclops. came with little things that ooze out of the figure ( regular ones came with goo that you squeezed out and little garbage things came with it)
a little smaller than the standard painted monsters.
This minifig was inspired by Jaypercent:

Instead of having a mostly plain design like Jaypercent, I chose to use a printed torso and mid section on mine.
I got these yesterday at TRU. They're mystery figures that come in a bag. There are different kinds of items you can get like figures, pens & light-up projectors. You can easily feel which bags have the pens and projectors, but its harder to feel which charater figure is inside. There are 8 figures, so I have 4 more to go :)

Our local photo suppliers and chemists - Dents - had an offer on a Zenith BM100FL microscope. Now I well remember trying to take photos using my sister's microscope way back in the late 1960's and enjoying it although the results were a bit variable. It's now a bit easier to do so having researched the subject I bought the microscope, an adapter to attach a camera and some specimens. Here are the first results and I'll post more on occasions. Now please understand I'm no biologist! I'm just taking pretty pictures but it is fascinating and I'll try to explain specimens when I know something. Each picture will tell you the magnification I used. The colours are not the natural colours of the specimens but dyes used to show the item by transmitted light.

Don't forget the COD 2 exclusive night vision goggles!
Last night was a terrible "I'll go out and shoot" night. People everywhere, super dark, and etc. So, this.
Taken indoors with a FA50/1.4 50mm lens, This is my Helios 40 85mm f1.5 lens from 1965 , I just thought the tones of it matched the table and empty glass mug!

Synopsis
Sinbad the Sailor is returning to Baghdad with the Princess Parisa, whom he intends to marry to secure a lasting peace between their two countries. On the way, he and his crew land on the island of Colossa to replenish their stock of food and water. Here, Sinbad meets the sorcerer Sokurah, just as his men manage to get on the wrong side of a giant one-eyed monster, the Cyclops. Sokurah saves Sinbad’s crew from being barbecued by the Cyclops with the help of a genie from his magic lamp. Just as Sinband and his men reach the safety of their ship, Sokurah drops the lamp into the sea and the Cyclops seizes it. The sorcerer insists that Sinband takes him back to the island so that he can recover the lamp, but the sailor refuses and they continue on their way to Baghdad. There, having once more failed to get his own way, Sokurah shrinks Parisa in a ruse to force Sinbad to take him back to Colossa, Parisa can only be restored to her normal size with a magic potion made from the eggshell of a giant two-headed bird that is found only on the island. Once Sokurah has defeated the Cyclops and recovered his lamp, he will have no further use for Sinbad. The sailor and his crew will make a nice tasty snack for his pet dragon, or so he thinks...

Film Review
One of the best-loved fantasy films of all time, popular with adults and children alike, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad was the first in a series of colour fantasy films that showcased the talents of special effects designer Ray Harryhausen. Willis H. O’Brien had pioneered stop-motion animation in the 1930s, most notably in the 1933 version of King Kong, but it would be his disciple and successor Harryhausen who would perfect the art, giving cinema some of its most enduring images. As well as the three Sinbad films he worked on, Harryhausen would also bring to life a plethora of dinosaurs in One Million Years B.C. (1961) and realise some of cinema’s finest ever special effects in Jason and the Argonauts (1963).
The 7th Voyage of Sinbad includes some of Harryhausen’s most memorable creations – the dancing snake-woman, the vicious two-headed roc, the fire-breathing dragon, a skeletal warrior
and, best of all, the gigantic cloven-hoofed Cyclops. This cavalcade of monstrous creations is clearly the film’s main draw and they certainly put their human co-stars to shame. The Cyclops alone has more charisma than the rest of the cast put together. The comparatively bland ensemble of human thesps were presumably selected not on the strength of their acting ability (which in many cases is pretty negligible) but so that they would not distract too much from the real stars of the show, the animated monsters. And rightly so.
It is the sheer genius of Ray Harryhausen’s work that makes this film so enjoyable and has prevented it from dating as much as it might. This colourful Arabian Nights-themed concoction of myth, sorcery and intrepid adventure is pure escapist fun that continues to delight and enthral. You can keep your soulless computer-generated effects wizardry, a complacent technology that has taken virtually all of the magic out of the art of special effects. The eye-popping spectacle that is The 7th Voyage of Sinbad gives us the real McCoy – effects you can genuinely marvel at and which leave you feeling that you’ve had your money’s worth.

When a princess (Kathryn Grant) is shrunken by an evil wizard (Torin Thatcher), Sinbad (Kerwin Mathews) must undertake a quest to an island of monsters to cure her and prevent a war.
While sailing with Princess Parisa to Baghdad to their wedding, Sinbad finds the Colossa Island and anchors his vessel to get supplies for the starving crew. Sinbad and his men help the magician Sokurah to escape from a Cyclops that attacks them, and Sokurah uses a magic lamp with a boy jinni to help them; however, their boat sinks and he loses the lamp. Sokurah offers a small fortune to Sinbad to return to Colossa, but he does not accept and heads to Baghdad. The citizens and the Caliph of Baghdad are celebrating the peace with Chandra, and they offer a feast to the Sultan of Chandra. Sakurah requests a ship and crew to return to Colossa but the Caliph refuses to jeopardize his countrymen. However, the treacherous magician shrinks the princess and when the desperate Sinbad seeks him out, he tells that he needs to return to Colossa to get the ingredient necessary for the magic potion. But Sinbad has only his friend Harufa to travel with him, and he decides to enlist a doubtful crew in the prison of Baghdad, in the beginning of his dangerous voyage to Colossa to save the princess and avoid the eminent war between Chandra and Baghdad.

**Generally, I like my description to sort of match my image. Since this description is about me, here is... me! Ta-daaa*
Recently, I was asked several times why I haven't done more with photography. Then I was told that I should utilize the online world more to market myself... like facebook. After mentioning that I didn't want to create a facebook page for myself, I was asked, "Why not make a website?" I said, "I'm not ready yet." And then I got defensive when he said something along the lines of, "Are you unsure of yourself?"
There are a lot of reasons why I haven't had much freelance photography jobs. My immediate go-to (dubbed) "excuses" were:
1. I have a busy schedule with university.
2. I'm busy filming a movie.
3. I live in a college town (with no car) and most people seem plenty happy with iphone picture quality.
4. Most of them don't want to pay for pictures when they can take it themselves with their own DSLR. My eye for composition, lighting, or whatever doesn't matter to most people.
5. I'm known for my photos, but the general atmosphere is "You take nice pictures. Good for you," not "I want to hire you."
But the most important reason for me not to have an official website is because I personally do not feel like I have earned it yet. I do not feel like I should make a website that takes time and money to maintain when I have not even established myself as a photographer who makes a steady income, no matter how small it is. Some may say, "You can make a free website!" But on my standards, I would want my official website to have a domain name that belongs to me - something I paid for to have. I have set a pretty high standard for myself, and I want to make sure I showcase my utmost best, because I would be charging people money for what I do. How much I am worth and how much people are willing to pay is another tricky business that I have yet to sit down with myself and figure out.
I haven't reached the standard I have set for myself.
And that, I believe, is a perfectly excusable reason.
I built these for a feature in issue 20 of Blocks magazine. They were a lot of fun to work on, and posed some interesting challenges, particularly Mystique.
You know, it never did use that club in the movie, did it? Or rather, either club? (there were two distinct club props)

47087 was new, as D1673, in May 1965. It was a renumbered from 47087 to 47624 when fitted with eth in 1984 and was later allocated 47748, but doesn't appear to have ever carried this number. It was withdrawn as 47624 in November 1998 and was scrapped at CF Booth, Rotherham, in September 2006.
D1673/47087/47624 was one of the original WR named 47s and carried the name "Cyclops" from June 1966-October 1989. It was then named "Saint Andrew" in May 1994 and carried this name until withdrawal.
