I try to keep my post to just one a day, but in order to give everyone a good idea as to just how massive this monster was, I decided to post three different captures. These shots show him just as I found him and as I left him. He never moved a muscle in his body, except maybe his eyelids. He was more interested in sunning himself than my presence. No need to comment on each photo, but hopefully everyone will get the full picture. Photos taken on Armand Bayou.

It was an unusually challenging day for Stormtrooper Bruce, working security detail, trying to unravel the mysteries to all the recent break ins, but nothing taken. Now, all STB wants is a few uninterrupted hours to enjoy his dinner and unwind in front of the telly. But the universe had other plans.
STB: Well, this is totally unexpected! What's up with all these umbrellas?
STB: Oh, undoubtedly Little Dude was in the middle of setting things up, and I showed up too early.
STB: But, until he returns, maybe I can unclutter a space to sit and eat my...
UU: Unka Dude, Unka Dude! Guess who-o-o-oo?
STB: What in the universe it going on!? I give. Who are you, or better yet - where are you?
UU: It's me-e-e, Uriel the Unicorn. Doncha just love my displa-a-ay?
STB: Well, it's definitely unique! But you left Part B of my question unanswered - where are you?
UU: Right under your no-o-ose!
STB: You're starting to unnerve me with your uber creepy voice!
UU: That's accause I'm utterly exhau-u-usted. I dropped something under your bed hours ago, and got caught. Rather uncomfortable.
STB: You know, Pinocchio's nose grew when he told untruths. Wonder what grows on unicorns who fib?
UU: OK, OK! I confess - I was hiding. But unfortunately, I really am stuck. Totally unforeseen. Help me Unka Dude, you're my only hope!

that's what my husband and I are...with bells on our toes we went to see this latest Japanese Godzilla movie that is in very limited release in the U.S. We loved the hokey, outrageous political plot and the extremely wondrous, evolving, nuclear CGI monster...that resembled the Godzilla we remember from the 60's...but is much more dazzling...
Meanwhile, at Dunder Mifflin...
"Okay, I think you will find today's team meeting especially-"
"Michael, why do you have giant foam hands on my desk?"
"Pam... if you'll let me finish. Now, as Pam said, you see, high and above us, these giant hands. For minillia, we have looked to giants as-"
"Did you mean millennia?"
"Jim... what?"
"You said 'minillia', which is vaguely like the name of Godzilla's son. But though the 'giant hands' could mean you're about to go off on some kaiju tangent, I'm guessing you meant millennia."
"..."
"Meaning thousands of years."
"Right! I'm sure that's what I said. So-"
"No it wasn't."
"-continuing on, for miln... for thousands of years we have looked to giants as great beings with great power and intellect to provide for us and assist us in-"
"Are giants generally regarded as highly intelligent?"
"George, please! I'm trying to-"
"Not the English giants. They just say, 'fee-fi-fo-fum'... but they apparently have a great sense of smell."
"Everyone! Please. Are you looking to the hands? Right now? Are you?"
"Well, they're hard to miss."
"The point is that these are... wait for it... 'THE HANDS THAT CAN.'"
"... The hands that can what?"
"Exactly, Darryl! The hands that can... what?? Well, let me answer. These are the hands that can help you when you have a problem. These are the hands that can support you when you feel down. These are the hands that can comfort you when work is going bad."
"..."
"And do you know whose hands these are?"
"They're YOUR hands, Mr. Scott!"
"Right, Dwight! Perfect! So every day when you look at these giant, strong, powerful, intelligent hands, I want you to think of me because I'm here to help you. And also because I'm a giant."
"When we look at them every day? How long are those hands going to stay on my desk??"
"Pam, one step at a time."

Dad, look at these tracks! What kind are they?
"Well, they're often referred to as caterpillar tracks-"
AHHHH! It's Mothra and her kids! Next it'll be Godzilla himself!
"...Clancy...ahem, yessir, the last time we saw the likes of these, they were mulching up acres of the Mer Bleue Bog."
Can we go home now?-Or at least double back to pick up some bug spray-and a shotgun?
"It's the NCC that sends them."
NCC? What's that, like, the CIA or something? Is this the new Area 51?
"Ya, those things devoured acres and acres of reeds and bush the last time they rolled in around here. Poor rabbits probably died by the hundreds. Who knows what other critters got made into mincemeat by their grinders."
(Gulp) Flesh eaters?-Well, it's been fun but I really must be going home-as fast as possible.
"Clancy, these caterpillar tracks were made by a machine sent by the National Capital Commission, probably to clear access to the hydro corridor like before."
No Mothra?
"No."
...You enjoyed that, didn't you?
"Yes."
Let's keep on, then, and forget the whole thing. You're so lucky we're best friends.
"Don't I know it."
...Hey, Dad, look, what's that big hazy ring around the sun?
"Oh my God, it's a sundog!"

Mothra is my most favorite from Godzilla's Universe. Based on profile descriptions and glimpses from the trailer, she is more godly than anticipated. She even glows! That is why I applied a shining filter in the background. I also chose blue to capture her bioluminescence from the trailer. Overall the design itself is not 100% satisfactory. I am looking for a way to make Mothra more distinct than a regular butterfly model. I accomplished wing shapes, some spot patterns, and even a bonus of 6 legs! However, I envision more wing transparency and squashes along her face to form eyes. Therefore I'm dubbing this as 1.0, knowing she will have many incarnations like her film counterparts.
Nancy: -Hello I'm "Nancy in the city". You're sooo cute!
Patch: -Hehee... Hi! I'm Patch the Brave Knight. You look like Godzilla with your big legs and mini arms!
Nancy: -How rude!
Patch: -But it's a compliment! I love godzillas, I even have a baby one as a pet. He's over there -Yooohoo Zillo! Say Hi to Miss Nancy-, I'm teaching him how to chase asian hornets. They are a real threat to biodiversity, you see.
Nancy: -That's cool! What a great Brave Knight you are! Can you help me find the nearest city?
Patch: -I'm afraid I'm really bad at geography, Milady. But I can tell that you are on the famous DuDidier street, it goes from here to there, both inside and outside.
Nancy: -Ah. I think I heard that already.
Patch: -I love your outfit! It would look great on Zillo. Can I borrow it sometime?
Nancy: -¡absolutamente no!
*****
I'm so fond of Patch the Brave Knight that I can't bring myself to change her outfit. I might need another Patch who will be wearing it all the time (and possibly build an army of brave knights lol). After all we never know when we'll need the help of a Brave Knight.
The Gojira. Let's start with the toughest part - the grille, I've seen fellow builders built it with the panel piece (30413), so I had to try hard to find another way of building it, and finally the spoiler piece (30925) gave me the solution, it's a difficult method because it has to be hinged in a way that it wont cause collision/friction.
Then the rear is equally as difficult because I had to do something different to what my colleagues had done with their R32, so the end result is not very accurate, will tweak it as soon as I have fresh ideas.

Sorry Sally, but you are just a little to big to fit into the Christmas Village......that is, unless you want to play "Godzilla Kitty"!
It's kind of amazing that my village has survived pretty much unscathed through the years in the midst of all these cats,
Occasionally someone will single out a figurine or accessory and bat it off the shelf, but mostly they simply ignore it.
When they do hop up on the shelf I've learned not to panic.
As anyone who has cats knows, yelling under these circumstances could cause the equivalent of an 8.2 on the Richter Scale, and I would be picking the pieces of ceramic houses and figures off the floor.
Left alone, most cats can pick they're way across a packed shelf of breakables without disturbing a spec of dust (yeah, I had a few clumsy kitties through the years, but thankfully those cats didn't even seem interested in examining things out of their normal reach) ..........but if you startle them, or tick them off, you can kiss you decorations goodbye!

Hello Flickr! It’s been a minute, hasn’t it. I’ve been way more active over on Instagram, so if you’d like to see more from me, go follow my insta. It’s the same username as here on Flickr. Anyway, on to the build. I wanted to build a large scale Kong and Godzilla for the new movie, so I started last weekend. The first one I finished was King Kong. He stands at 11 1/2 inches tall and weighs about 3 pounds. He is super articulated and can be put into many different poses. I hope you guys like it!
Was looking back through my Costa Rica shots and came across this one. I think this was taken in my hotel's car park, but its pretty much my only ground level shot. Pity I didn't take any more as I really like the perspective it gives.

Apologies to my colleague for photographing a small fraction of her enviable Godzilla collection without her express written permission.
He controls the pods by scaring them, this makes the cities try to run away, causing extreme bursts of speed.
Hey, it's a fantastical creation, I don't know how much backstory it needs. ;)
Spectacle des Plasticiens Volants dans les rues de Voiron le 20 mai 2022.La 7e Biennale tous créateurs s’est déroulée vendredi soir à Voiron. Sur le thème “En route vers un nouveau monde”, ce sont des milliers de spectateurs qui sont venus s’amasser le long du cortège, jusque sur le parvis de l’église Saint-Bruno. Un spectacle XXL à l’arrivée, porté par les Plasticiens Volants, compagnie de théâtre mondialement connue.
He moves across the debris field maintaining a visual contact with the gargantuan creature.
It looks down and throws large block of concrete at him. He cuts the block in mid-air with a quick swing of his powerful sword.
“I’ve had enough- he says to himself- this ends now!”
He activates the thrusters of his suit, flying up to the top of the tallest building.
The creature roars as it smashes its way to the building.
He runs up toward the edge of the roof to gain momentum, then he jumps.
He diverts energy to thrusters, hurling his suit at the creature.
The sunlight shines on the sharp blade as he flies faster and faster towards the rampaging creature.
It opens its jaws waiting for an easy victim but he has other plans.
He lines up his sword, gives more power to the thrusters and acceleration takes care of the rest.
The blade pierces through the creature’s skull, cutting bones and tissues alike.
With a quick movement he spins around his sword landing on the creature’s back as it falls lifeless to the ground.
The “Tech Suit” is Gundam Astray Red Frame from Bandai NXEdge series of action figures.
The “creature” is a Godzilla action figure made by Neca. It’s actually based on a video game version of Godzilla and in fact they made a sort of “pixel” effect on several areas.
Since the two figures are completely off scale with each other I used Godzilla action figure to represent just a “creature” of some sort.
This image is a sort of text. I had the idea of this scene but before trying it in a better setting, I thought to make a text and see how it turns out :)
What do you think?
I hope you like this photo :)
"Nicknamed “Godzilla”, the GT-R has been called the track car that you can drive every day. It is quite fast and is equally impressive under braking, while having plenty of grip through the corners with precise steering inputs. It is very confidence-inspiring to drive and plenty of fun too."

Hi
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
I had to shoot my way out
Because people were getting rough
They say I move too much about
Like a gangster getting tough
I only wanted some France food
But they said I wasn't polite
They thought my attitude was rude
And eating folks caused a fright
I know I’m only a little dinosaur
And I’m merely a tourist here
My clumsiness is in peace not war
And we ruled once everywhere
***
All I am saying
Is give dinosaur a chance
The little fellow is just playing
He wants to see you dance
He’s much for the rumba beat
And wants to see you all hop
He’s got the guns and big feet
So dance, dance on - don't stop!
Much talk is about his robbery
But he only stole some apples
He needs to have foods for free
So he can do more wiggles
***
They say I’m a mere joke
A Ben Heine’s pencil stroke
That might not be telling a lie
Though I have a different alibi
I was sent from gangster’s dinosaur
Since their town isn’t safe anymore
They are attempting to come back
Through a time machine walk
This is just the beginning of the end
I’m the 1st one to Earth send
The guns are just extra kick
Next comes my fiancé Ms Dinosaur
Baby Godzilla.
On a friend's recommendation I went to see Baby Godzilla at Southampton Uni last night. So energetic, so awesome.
They look and sound like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd6ED57wgC8

Hong Kong: Godzilla's younger brother fools no-one with his GT-R badging, but with the noise this thing makes in a tunnel you might be forgiven for thinking otherwise. The question is would you try to fool people by putting a GT-R badge on yours?
THE RISE OF CYBORG CULTURE OR THE BOMB WAS A CYBORG
Bruce Sterling's science fiction novels portray the cyborg future of humanity. There, centuries from now, humans have divided themselves into competitive factions based on two opposing philosophies: "Mechanism" and "Shaping." The former have designed their own ontogenetic evolution through the cultivation of various technologies, including the prosthetic, mechanical, and especially cybernetic ones. The Shapers rely only on biology, biochemistry, and especially molecular biology (genetics) to "shape" themselves and their own futures, primarily by extending life, sexual potency, and certain biological talents. From back here in their past, we can perceive a certain irony (out of which Sterling makes some nice satiric hay): the two human factions are really twins, seeking a shared posthuman future, though through different means. Both evolve towards artificially constructed beings who rely merely on two different arrangements of cyborg techniques to distinguish themselves from each other. The Shapers may well pride themselves on their eugencially-selected intelligence and despise the artificial computer implants and enhancements of their Mechanist doppelgangers. Yet, as one of the Mechanist spokesmen notes, "[The Shapers] might properly be defined as industrial artifacts."[1] The Mechanists may well use software implants and direct linking to computers to enhance their faculties, and abhor the messy fecundity and (what they view as "corruption") of Shaper life, but there is no denying that their mechanical prostheses change biological facts.
In one particular epoch of Sterling's future history (which he plays out over several works of fiction), this galaxial civilization is in its decadence, verging on the apocalyptic, dangerously close to achieving a critical mass or catastrophic fluctuation that will force it to "leap to a new order of complexity" (in terms Sterling borrows from chaos theory).[2] This new order will be the Post/pp. 5-6/ human. The speeches of many characters refer to this yearned-for future; they chide each other with gibes like, "Oh, show a little Posthuman fluidity." Sterling's hero in "The Cicada Queen" foresees the shape of the posthuman in "The Lobsters," humans who have already gone over to the far side of this utopian vision. The Lobsters have "shucked their humanity like a caul," combining some Shaper bioengineering with Mechanist tech to encase themselves in completely cyberneticized shells, after altering their biology to ensure they can survive.
The Lobsters hooked into fluidic computers or sheltered themselves from solar storms and ring-system electrofluxes.
They never ate. They never drank. Sex involved a clever cyber-stimulation through cranial plugs. Every five years or so they `molted' and had their skins scraped clean of the stinking accumulation of mutated bacteria that scummed them over in the stagnant warmth [of their suits].
They knew no fear… They were self-contained and anarchical. Their greatest pleasure was to sit along a girder [on a space station] and open their amplified senses to the depths of space, watching stars past the limits of ultraviolet and infrared…
There was nothing evil about them, but they were not human. As distant and icy as comets, they were creatures of the vacuum, bored with the outmoded paradigms of blood and bone. I saw within them the first stirrings of the Fifth Prigoginic Leap… as far beyond intel-/pp. 6-7/ ligence as intelligence is from amoebic life or life from inert matter. ("Cicada Queen" 77)
I find this description of one of humanity's possible futures compelling, not so much because it is attractive (which it is in some zoned-out fashion) but simply because it seems plausible. This image of the cyborg and others, also more or less plausible, have now come to dominate our postmodern landscape, expressed in literature, film, and the arts, giving rise to rich expressions too broad and numerous to catalog here.
Today, from a vantage point after the Cold War is purportedly over, it is easier to see the outline of cyborg epistemology as it grows out of seeds engineered in World War II and blossoms in Cold War culture. - From this advantageous perspective in 1993, the contest among nations and ideologies that was World War II masked an even more important war between opposing cognitive faiths, with a definite victory for cybernetic fundamentalism. In short, to understand how and why the cyborg has achieved such predominance in the 1990s, such mythological force, we must re-read World War II and the Cold War. In this paper, I hope to show how the Mechanists, the Shapers, and the Lobsters of Sterling's imagination came to be thinkable -- if not inevitable -- versions of the posthuman because of the technologies and epistemologies that won World War II.
The "Atomic Age" vs. the "Cybernetic Age": The Bomb was a Cyborg
What would happen if you asked most contemporary commentators of the period of the late 1940s and the early 1950s: What is the single most important feature of your cultural and political landscape? or, What is the largest threat to civilization? They would undoubtedly reply to both questions, "The Bomb." It is a cliché to say that what determined the politics, much of the imaginative culture, some of the nihilistic philosophy, and certainly the Byzantine dance between the superpowers USSR and /pp. 7-8/ USA, was the threat of detonating the apocalyptic, doomsday device known first as the Atomic Bomb and later as the Nuclear Bomb. This was so true that it is also a cliché to call the Cold War Era the Atomic Age, sometimes striking an upbeat note, ringing within it the gleaming promise of a utopian future, but more often echoing something bleak and foreboding. Certainly, the popular culture of the 1950s and 1960s reflected darker images in hundreds of novels and movies about atomic bombs, monsters created by nuclear fallout, like Godzilla, and parables about post-Nuclear apocalyptic worlds like "On the Beach" and "FailSafe."
I would argue, however, that the politics of the atomic bomb and nuclear weaponry is really a small subset of a much more profound and important movement, one that is now beginning to express itself in its full-blooded manifestation. Furthermore, this movement was at its core an epistemological revolution. Why does the atomic bomb fade as an icon in the 1980s and 1990s, even while nuclear weapons stockpiles increase and proliferate, to be replaced by the computer, the AI, the robot, the cyborg as the most important icon of our generation? The answer, again, is epistemological: the Atomic Bomb was a very explosive technological device, but as such was merely a symptom or manifestation of the very same epistemology that is more fundamentally represented by the cyborg.

He's cute and he's mad as hell and aint going to take it anymore... He killed Godzilla Jr.!
We have a red toy on a red background, to camera right we had a octobox, to camera left a reflector and a strobe for seperation then finally a strobe aimed behind the toy at the background.
Hong Kong: Godzilla's little brother waits menacingly in the darkness ready to pounce on an unsuspecting Evo or WRX. This might not be a GT-R, but the GT-T will still pack a punch. The question is who would the trophy go to?

When an oversized Jar Jar Binks is on the loose only Godzilla stands in the way of his destructive clumsiness.
“Heyo tiny people! Mesa back! Bombad J.J. gonna teach you a lesson”
The Clumsy Creature is out for revenge but Godzilla is nearby signing autographs (using a very large pen of course) and he does not like that Jar Jar is bothering his own fans.
The King of Monsters has no patience for the King of Idiots so he grabs the Clumsy Creature’s long ears and tears him apart.
Jar Jar will be back. He always does for he is protected by the most powerful plot armor in existence. But today he won’t bother people any more :)
Some time ago I posted a photo of Godzilla action figure fighting against Jar Jar ( here is the link if you are curious: www.flickr.com/photos/133750589@N08/24925721582/in/photos... ) and I promised to make an image of Godzilla defeating him :)
However I run into a couple of problems since this Godzilla figure has a good articulation nearly everywhere except on the legs and finding a nice pose for the scene was not easy.
In the end I went for perhaps the most simple of the poses :)
I hope you like it :)
May the Force be with You :)
Bit of a Godzilla nerd, didn't think there was a man in a Godzilla costume in the early days before CGI. That's what made it fun to watch, still is fun even though I know.

This was actually a real picture once of Innsbruck, Austria that I took a long long time ago. While processing the image the sky somehow caught fire. When Godzilla appeared that made sense. Just in case you're worried about the woman in the bottom left, she's really a ship's figurehead photographed at a museum. So she's not real, but since she's carved of wood then there is some concern.
