Hi.
Been working on him for a while now. Everything on the vest is sculpted except the pistol pouches. Not entirely accurate...like the gloves and missing mic. To me it looked better without the mic. Well anyway, enjoy!
Also credit to Thunder_Run for the glasses.
Oh, one more thing, which one should I make next? Recon or support or a different faction?

Meet Christine, one of my long-time roommates. She's an electrical engineer, so you can imagine the house being full of nerdy remarks. In fact, her boyfriend is quite possibly the most unique person (to put it gently) I've ever met. If any of you have watched The Big Bang Theory, they're exactly like that. Let's just say that I even have my own little "Sheldon" friend (not as OCD crazy, but the personality and randomness is very similar) -> Christine's boyfriend. "Sheldon" likes to pollute my Facebook wall w/ miscellaneous comic book strips & pictures that he finds funny. They are actually quite funny too haha. I always hear random tantrums and facts about trains & their power generators to programming to playing Diablo to quantum physics to... you get the idea. Everytime I came home, I'd come back to something very different and hilarious. Hardcore nerds. These people make living fun. Lol.
Christine is probably the most sane out of all them... :P

Afghan civilians look on as Royal Engineers from 44 (Four Four) HQ and Support Squadron install a General Support Bridge (GSB) near Check Point Oqob in the northern part of Nahr-e Seraj District of Helmand Province.
To launch a bridge the Royal Engineers use the Automated Bridge Launching Equipment (ABLE) that is capable of launching bridges up to 44 m in length. The ABLE vehicle is positioned with its rear pointing to the gap to be crossed and a lightweight launch rail extended across the gap. The bridge is then assembled and winched across the gap supported by the rail, with sections added until the gap is crossed. Once the bridge has crossed the gap the ABLE launch rail is recovered. A 32 m bridge can be built by 10 men in about 40 minutes.

Here the Officers Special - Engineering Inspection train rolls along the Fathew Valley with No.6 providing the traction. This 0-4-0WT was built in 1918 by Andrew Barclay & Co. Ltd. for the Airservice Construction Corps. From 1921 until 1945 it worked at the RAF railway at Calshot Spit, Southampton. So to mark it's 100th anniversary, it was given this new livery reflecting its RAF heritage.

Offered in the US from model year 1997 to 2001, the Catera was a badge-engineered Opel Omega made in Rüsselsheim, Germany.
The advertisements for it featured supermodel Cindy Crawford speaking to an animated duck-like character anmed 'Ziggy', who lasted maybe 2 years.
It wasn't derided as much as GM's earlier, badge-engineered Cadillac Cimarron was, a car that was easily recognized that it had the same body as the economy Chevrolet Cavalier except with Caddy end caps. But the Catera wasn't a great seller, either, finishing its run of 5 years as a single-run model.
The one depicted has apparently survived and looks to be in very good condition.

THE ENGINEER
I was in the backyard taking a Polaroid of the pool tile when the portrait lens viewfinder attachment for my 195 fell off and sunk to the bottom of the deep end of the pool. My Dad fished it out with the skimmer and after I dried it off, I tried to take a photo of him but couldn't focus at all with the rangefinder. The little glass window on the attachment was totally fogged over with condensation. The 195 can be hard enough to focus in bright light, but here I was in the dim light of twilight with a film of fog over the rangefinder. I took a closer look at the attachment and figured out that there were teeny, tiny screws that held it together and that it could be opened up and really cleaned. My Dad, the lifetime engineer and Mr. Fix It took it upon himself to do the repair and cleaning for me. Now that he's had both his cataracts removed in the last year, I think he can actually see better than me! Once he got the attachment open he told me, "You clean glass with alcohol. I learned that when I worked at a lab at Northrop." I don't really know anything about my Dad's time at Northrop, so I asked him what kind of lab he worked in and he told me that he inspected parts for guided missiles. From as long as I can remember - from early childhood until college graduation - the only company my Dad worked for was Hughes Helicopters (as in Howard Hughes). He was a Quality Control engineer and under his watch there were never any helicopter accidents due to parts failure. Unlike most companies that want to get rid of their older workers, Hughes (then taken over by Boeing) begged my Dad to stay on with the job when he retired at the age of 70. Having worked full-time since he was 18 and with me finally out of college, my Dad had enough of working and retired despite the bonuses dangled before him. Anyway, back to the present - after a few swabs with alcohol and dealing with the tiniest screws known to man - my Dad got the viewfinder attachment clean and clear again, in fact I think it was actually cleaner than when I started. So dropping it in the pool turned out to be a happy accident indeed!

31311 stands wrong line with a ballast train at Barnsley on very dull 5th June 1983. The two nearest lines served a parcels depot which had closed a couple of years previously. The shunting was usually in charge of a DMU that dropped off a a parcels van on the 18.00 from Sheffield to Barnsley if I recall correctly.
The line nearest also served the good shed on the left by means of a head shunt behind the photographer.
Circa 1977. Here's fellow Engineering student Bill G. His left 'arm' is a prop in the shape of a large pencil. Bill was a staff member of the 49er Engineer, the Engineering school's student-produced magazine of which I was also on the masthead. It was published monthly during the Fall and Spring semesters, with technical articles written by staff and other students.
Why the pencil? I forget who exactly brought it to the magazine office. It was probably once part of a store display somewhere but it was sitting in the magazine office for a period of time. It was then decided to use it for individual staff photos as a common theme within each. This is one of those photos. The pencil was a fitting symbol for writing, and writing was what we did for the magazine.
The photo was taken on the west side of the building designated then as 'E3.'

As a young boy I fell in love with the 611 and now as a grown man I have the opportunity to enjoy running the locomotive.
Engineers, project managers, and construction workers meet at the construction site to discuss the progress of the expansion. The project is on schedule thanks to the efforts of hundreds of workers. Commissioning of the new powerhouse will take place in August 2014, substantial completion in December 2014, and will be fully online in February 2015.
James Watt, Matthew Bolton and William Murdock.
The three men pioneered the industrial revolution in late 18th century England. James Watt's improvements to the steam engine and William Murdoch's invention of gas lighting have made them famous throughout the world. Matthew Boulton, entrepreneur and industrialist, harnessed their talents in a company that made everything from tableware and copper coinage to steam engines. His home, Soho House, is now a museum. All three men are buried in St Mary's Church Handsworth, known as 'the Westminster Abbey of the Industrial Revolution'.
