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 Secretariat, Yangon, Myanmar was designed by British engineer Henry Hoyne-Fox. Construction began in 1889 the Victorian-style and the complex covers 16 acres of land in the heart of Yangon. The steel used in the support structure of the buildings was shipped in from Glasgow, Scotland and the original roof tiles were manufactured in France, the bricks and teak for the wood work were locally sourced across Asia.
The main entrance hall of the Secretariat, was once topped by a grand dome. The three-story atrium is now covered with glass and it features a magnificent double-helix spiral staircase, painted a rich green and with finials of Queen Victoria. The Secretariat was closed for many years after the Government moved to Naypyitaw in 2005 and the complex was mostly abandoned and left to decay behind locked gates and imposing fences. In recent years, renovations have been underway and the building was partially open to tourism and as an exhibition centre.
It contained the Yangon Parliament House where Burma’s self-rule first began and its West Wing was the location of the assassination of General Aung San, the father of Modern Myanmar, and 6 cabinet members on 19 July 1947.

Designed by architects Shearer and Annand and engineered by Sir William Halcrow and Partners, Fasnakyle Hydro Electric Power Station at Kilmorack in the Scottish Highlands is the control centre for the Affric-Beauly scheme. It was developed by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board and formally opened by HRH the Duke of Edinburgh on 13 October 1952.
The design has a cubic modernist form with large areas of glazing in the turbine hall and decorative carved panels by Hew Lorimer showing Pictish symbols, while the traditional use of local stone ties the building to its surroundings.

The Clifton Suspension Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Avon Gorge and the River Avon, linking Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods in North Somerset. Since opening in 1864, it has been a toll bridge. The income from the tolls continues to provide funds for its maintenance. The bridge is built to a design by William Henry Barlow and John Hawkshaw, based on an earlier design by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Brunel died in 1859, without seeing the completion of the bridge. His colleagues in the Institution of Civil Engineers felt that completion of the Bridge would be a fitting memorial, and started to raise new funds. In 1860, Brunel's Hungerford suspension bridge over the Thames in London was demolished to make way for a new railway bridge to Charing Cross railway station. Its chains were purchased for use at Clifton

Nothing you see here is real, even though the conversion or the presented background story might be based historical facts. BEWARE!
Some background:
The Helwan Aircraft HA-410 (Arabic: حلوان ٤٠٠) was an indigenous supersonic jet fighter aircraft developed in Egypt during the late 1960s. Its design took place in the wake of the less successful lightweight HA-300 interceptor, designed by famous German aircraft engineer Willy Messerschmitt. Like its smaller stable mate, the HA-410 was an ambitious project for Egypt, at the time seeking to expand both its aerial civilian and defence industry.
Compared to the HA-300, the HA-400, how the project was initially called, was a much bigger aircraft, comparable to the North American F-100 ‘Super Sabre’ and similar in operational and political respects to the Indian Hindustan Industries ‘Marut’ fighter. The aircraft was planned as a home-grown alternative to the Soviet Su-7 fighter bomber, which had been acquired by the Egyptian Air Force (EAF; Arabic: القوات الجوية المصرية, Al-Qūwāt al-Gawwīyä al-Miṣrīyä) and employed in the Six Day War in 1967. This event uncovered certain deficiencies of the type, like the Su-7’s relatively poor ordnance load and range, as well as its high landing speed.
Under the influence of the ensuing War of Attrition with Israel, the HA-400 prototype was designed around the same Lyulka AL-7 turbojet engine as the Su-7, inheriting its power but also the poor reliability – even though the engine’s high resilience against FOD, sand and dust was a vital aspect for the EAF.
The HA-400’s design was conventional, with a barrel-shaped (non-area-ruled) fuselage, reminiscent of the US-American North American F-100 Super Sabre or the French Dassault Super Mystère B2. But the HA-400 incorporated different features like a translating centerbody, a movable cone in the air intake for managing airflow to the engine at supersonic speeds. It also featured clipped delta mid-wings with a 60° sweep, not unlike those of the MiG-21 and a one-piece, all-moving tailplane.
The main landing gear retracted inwards, partly into the lower fuselage, the twin-wheeled front landing gear retracted forward. The landing gear was rigid and suitable for operations on semi-prepared airfields. The pilot sat in a pressurized cockpit, offering better for- and downward vision than the Su-7.
The Armament comprised two 30mm cannons in the lower forward fuselage, plus sevem ordnance hardpoints for a total external weapon load of about 3 tons.
The first prototype flew on August 6th 1968, two additional airframes followed. The EAF’s operational evaluation from November 1968 to December 1996 found the new fighter to have superior performance but declared it not ready for wide-scale deployment due to various deficiencies. These findings were subsequently confirmed during operational suitability tests. Particularly troubling was the poor directional instability in certain regimes of flight. The aircraft could develop a sudden yaw and roll which would happen too fast for the pilot to correct and would eventually overstress the aircraft structure to disintegration. As a remedy, the fin was enlarged and a ventral fin for better longitudinal stability added. Another critical point was field performance: the initially pure delta-winged HA-400 showed poor take-off and landing characteristics, offering almost no improvement in comparison with the Su-7.
Helwan Aircraft investigated a new wing design with extended wingtips for an increased wing area and boundary layer control. The result was a new "cranked" wing, with wingtips at a shallower sweep of only 45° just outboard of the wing fence. The new wing also featured a boundary-layer control (BLC, "blown flaps") system, with engine air bleed blown over the flaps to keep them effective at lower speeds. These improvements made takeoffs and landings less ‘hot’ and intimidating. Unfortunately, the Lyulka AL-7F-1 didn't provide enough bleed air to make the BLC system very effective, but the new wing alone improved slow speed flying characteristics enough to justify its use. An additional brake parachute, housed in a fairing at the fin’s base, reduced landing distance even further.
Under the lingering tense atmosphere with Israel, serial production of the modified aircraft, which had been re-designated HA-410 by November 1969, started in early 1970. Soon the new aircraft saw their baptism in fire in 1973 during the Yom Kippur War. Success was limited, though, due to teething troubles with the hydraulic and BLC system, general engine unreliability and the lack of a powerful radar which would allow true all-weather/night attack capability - the HA-410 only featured a RP-21 ‘Sapfir’ radar system, the same as used in export versions of the MiG-21. Consequently, the HA-410 was almost exclusively used in the daylight ground attack role, even though some machines were, equipped with up to four IR-guided K-13 AAMs, used for point defence around air bases. EAF HA-410 were later also actively deployed in the Egyptian-Libyan War, a border skirmish in July 1977.
A total of 75 aircraft were built, including 13 two-seated trainers, equipping three EAF squadrons, made exclusively up from this type. The EAF was the only user of the HA-410. Yugoslavia showed interest in the type in the late 70ies, as well as India, but no plane was ever exported. The HA-410, as an aircraft, proved to be tough and capable, despite its reliability shortcomings and stability problems which called for an alert pilot. No aircraft were ever lost in air-to-air combat. However, twelve were lost due to accidents and technical failures, six were lost to ground fire and three were lost due to friendly AA fire, since the HA-410’s silhouette was easily mistaken for an Israeli Super Mystère B2.
The last examples were withdrawn from service in 1988 and consequently scrapped, being replaced by Su-20/22 and F-16.

The kit and its assembly
If you recognize what’s behind the fictional HA-410, you are well-informed about aircraft history indeed! Believe it or not, this model was derived from a real-life, Cold War era cruise missile! Sick idea? Maybe, but a nice challenge!
The HA-410 is actually a Raduga/OKB MiG Kh-20M (AS-3 “Kangaroo”) nuclear warhead missile, which had been developed from the unsuccessful MiG I-7 jet fighter from the late 50ies. The mighty Kh-20 had exclusively been carried by Tu-95K (“Bear B”) bombers until the late 70ies. The basis for this model is A Model’s 1:72 scale Kh-20M kit, which includes the massive ground handling trolley for this huge weapon - the kit is about 21cm long!
I had hoped that just changing the vertical fin would be enough, but all wing areas are much too small for a plane that actually takes off of the ground by its own power. At first I considered wings from an A-7 and the tail fin of an F-16, but when I recently was given a Su-15 from PM Models from a friend – a rather crude and basic kit – I just found what I needed to create a complete aircraft.
Bashing both kits was an efficient solution, since the Su-15 not only provided wings and stabilizer parts, but also a complete landing gear with wells, as well as a clear canopy that would fit well onto the bare Kh-20M. As a side note, I decided to attribute this plane to Helwan Aircraft as a kind of tribute - calling it a MiG or Suchoj design would have been too obvious, and using Egypt as part of the whif game made the contsruction of the background easier.
But back to the subject: Biggest challenge was to outfit the bulgy missile with anything an operational, manned aircraft would need: a cockpit plus canopy, a complete landing gear including their respective wells, and accessories like weapon hardpoints.
Any such “extras” were collected from the scrap box:
● All tail areas come from the PM Model Su-15
● Wings and lower fuselage also come from the Su-15, but had to be modified (see below)
● Main landing gear struts and wheels were taken 100% from the PM Su-15, too
● The double front wheel was also taken from the Su-15, the well is from an Italeri IAI Kfir
● Cockpit canopy comes from the Su-15
● Cockpit tub is also a part of an Italeri Kfir, with some extensions
● The dashboard comes from a Heller Alpha Jet
● Not certain where the seat comes from, the pilot figure is from a vintage Matchbox kit
● All weapon hardpoints come from the scrap box
● Ordnance is a collection of spare parts:
- Drop tanks come from a KP Su-25 kit
- Bombs are modified Matchbox 1.000 lbs bombs, with clipped fins and an added balistic rings
Lots of work, despite the plane’s rather simple look. Especially the integration of the lower fuselage was a tough job, since it is one piece with the wings. Not only the part's width had to be trimmed, stability also had to be guaranteed, and fitting this part with a square diameter into the circular Kh-20M's body was not a simple task! had to fit a basically square part into the round Kh-20 fuselage… But the result looks IMHO good.
Many surface details like air scoops, antennae, the two guns and weapon stations were added, and the Su-15 canopy needed a matching fairing on the Kh-20's hull, which was built with polystyrene strips.
Painting
I settled for an indigenous Egyptian camouflage paint scheme for the HA-410, which is called "Nile" or “Nile Valley”. This scheme has been used by the EAF on various planes like MiG-17 and -21, as well as Su-7, -17/20 and even Tu-16 bombers. With its wavy lines and strong color contrast, "nile Valley" is very unique and attractive, IMHO, and even authentic for the model’s era. There seems to be no defined pattern or even color paradigm, just that sand is involved, a dark contrast color which ranges from dark brown to drak grey, and a demarkation line between these colors which ranges from light green through slate grey to blue-grey. AFAIK, any available paint was used in Egypt, even car paint, so choice of color is a true 'free for all'.
The basic colours I chose are Humbrol 74 (Linen), 78 (Cockpit Green) and 98 (Chocolate), but that was only the beginning. Some layers of dry painting with lighter shades like Humbrol 103 (Cream), 121 (Light Sand) and 71 (Beige), RLM 02 on the green areas and a mix of 98 and 64 as well as pure 168 (Hemp) on the brown areas, lightened everything up. Lower sides were painted in Humbrol 65, a light blue with a greenish hue, and treated with FS 36320. Overall, the kit received a light black ink wash and a weathering touch with dry-brushed light grey (Humbrol 64) and Hemp (Humbrol 168).
EAF markings come from a vintage Matchbox MiG-21MF (PK-41). The arabic number comes from a Su-24 aftermarket decal sheets. Stencils and warning signs come from the vast OOB decal sheet for the Kh-20M.
Overall, the fictious HA-410 looks either like a fat MiG-21 or a short Su-7, but features details uncommon to both! Very Soviet, but unlike anything that rolled off of Cold War fabrication lines. Really subtle... o.-

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.'
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'.
Life-size LEGO builds of Sheriff Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and RC Car along with the rocket introduced by Sid in the original Toy Story movie. This scene takes place toward the end of the movie after Sid has duct taped Buzz to the rocket and Woody is attempting to save him at the same time that the moving truck is leaving the Davis' house next door. In order to catch up with the moving truck, Woody, Buzz, and the rocket jump on the back of RC Car but are not catching the truck. So...Woody, using the match put in his holster by Sid, lights the fuse on the rocket which blasts off toward the moving truck with Buzz still duct taped to it while he is holding Woody. As they approach the truck, Woody tells Buzz, "Now this is 'flying'!" and Buzz replies, "Nah...this is 'falling with style'!!"
These LEGO's recreate that moment of blast off in a life-size fashion and are perfectly built with all the little Toy Story details.

St. Michael's Castle (Russian: Михайловский замок, Mikhailovsky zamok), also called the Mikhailovsky Castle or the Engineers Castle (Russian: Инженерный замок, Inzhenerny zamok), is a former royal residence in the historic centre of Saint Petersburg, Russia. St. Michael's Castle was built as a residence for Emperor Paul I by architects Vincenzo Brenna and Vasili Bazhenov in 1797-1801. The castle looks different from each side, as the architects used the motifs of various architectural styles such as French Classicism, Italian Renaissance and Gothic.
St. Michael's Castle was built to the south of the Summer Garden and replaced a small wooden palace of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. Afraid of intrigues and assassination plots, Emperor Paul I didn't like the Winter Palace where he never felt safe. Due to his personal interest in Medieval knights and his constant fear of assassination, the new royal residence was built like a castle with rounded corners in which a small octagonal courtyard is located. The castle was surrounded by the waters of the Moika River, the Fontanka River and two specially dug canals (the Church Canal and the Sunday Canal), transforming the castle area into an artificial island which could only be reached by drawbridges.
Construction began on 26 February (N.S. 9 March), 1797 and the castle was solemnly consecrated on 8 November 1800, i.e. on St. Michael's Day according to the Eastern Orthodoxy, though works on its internal furnishing proceeded until March 1801. In 1800, the bronze equestrian Monument to Peter the Great was erected in front of the castle. The equestrian statue had been designed during Peter the Great's lifetime and later, with the casting completed in 1747 by architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli. By order of Paul I, the inscription "From Great Grandson to Great Grandfather" was made on the pedestal that is decorated with bas-reliefs depicting scenes of two Russian victories over Sweden during the Great Northern War.
Ironically, Paul I was assassinated only 40 nights after he moved into his newly built castle. He was murdered on 12 March 1801, in his own bedroom, by a group of dismissed officers headed by General Bennigsen. The conspirators forced him to a table, and tried to compel him to sign his abdication. Paul offered some resistance, and one of the assassins struck him with a sword, and he was then strangled and trampled to death. He was succeeded by his son, the Emperor Alexander I, who was actually in the palace, and to whom general Nicholas Zubov, one of the assassins, announced his accession.
After Paul's death, the imperial family returned to the Winter Palace; St. Michael's Castle was abandoned and in 1819 was given to the army's Main Engineering School (later to become the Nikolayevskaya Engineering Academy). Since then the building has been called the Engineer Castle. Between 1838 and 1843, the Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky studied as a cadet at the Main Engineering School.
In the early 1990s, St. Michael's Castle became a branch of the Russian Museum and now houses its Portrait Gallery, featuring official portraits of the Russian Emperors and Empresses and various dignitaries and celebrities from the late 17th to the early 20th century.
