I bet some of you thought I had forgotten about LEGO. Well this proves you wrong. :P Spent about six hours building this over two days. I've really been wanting to build a nice spaceship after seeing all of the nice STG fighters. It's quite sturdy, and I've had some great swoosh sessions.
Also my entry for the Part Challenge.

c/n 26.247 - built in 1999 for Iberia -
operated by Icelandair since 09/2015
A starship I knocked out over a year ago. Not quite a ship, but around 50-60 studs in length. Very sturdy, and weighs a ton.
An Infantry support Vehicle, variant of the Heavy Minotaur APC. It features increased roof armor, repositioning of the crew stations and hatches along with a new remote turret that features a 30mm chain gun and 7.62 co-ax MG. Along with that it has a pair of ATGM's mounted to the side of the turret for he rare encounter with the front of an enemy tank or a hardened bunker.

Not really a SHIPtember entry, since I started building it about a year and a half ago, but nonetheless here's the ISV Meriwether. 122 studs, full interior, roughly minifig-scaled. Also includes fold-out, locking landing gear.
I designed this after I started watching The Expanse. As it happened, the tower-style design proved a lot easier to work with, especially on the scale of a SHIP, than the more conventional boat-style.
Thanks for looking, and there's a lot more shots covering all the details on my stream.

Exotic, raven-haired Yvonne Romain is a British film and television actress of the late 1950’s and 1960’s.The stunning beauty became one of the most popular Scream Queens of the Hammer Studio.
Yvonne (somtimes Ivonne) Romain (or Romaine) was born Yvonne Warren in 1938 in London. Her parents are of Maltese and British decent, and she took the stage name Romain after the family name of her grandmother and great-grandmother. She was educated in St Mary’s Abbey. Her mother sent her to the Italia Conti acting school at an early age and from the age of 12 on she appeared in children’s television shows and repertory. Her screen career began in 1956. Her exotic, dark looks and 38-22-36 figure saw her often cast in supporting roles as Italian or Spanish maidens in war films and comedies, but she is best remembered for her roles in British horror films, like Corridors of Blood (1958, Robert Day) and Circus of Horrors (1960, Sidney Hayers), where she starred alongside Boris Karloff , Christopher Lee and Donald Pleasence. She also starred in the shlock classic Devil Doll (1964, Lindsay Shonteff), about a malevolent ventriloquist's dummy.
Yvonne Romain is probably best known for The Curse of the Werewolf (1961, Terence Fisher) where she starred with Oliver Reed in his first major role. Romain plays a mute servant girl who spurns the advances of the sadistic Marques (Anthony Dawson). She is thrown into a prison cell with a deranged beggar, who proceeds to rape her. As a result, she later gives birth on Christmas day to future to the future wolfman (Reed), though the effort kills her. Hammer studio's publicity stills for 'Werewolf' capitalised on Romain's obvious charms by having her photographed in typical 'scream queen' poses alongside a made-up Reed. This is despite the fact that she and Reed share no actual screen time.Perhaps her biggest role was in another Hammer production, Captain Clegg/Night Creatures (1962, Peter Graham Scott), playing alongside Peter Cushing and Oliver Reed again, this time as his fiancée. Other memorable roles include: Action of the Tiger (1957, Terence Young) with Van Johnson, Martine Carol and a young Sean Connery. She also starred with Connery again in the gangster film The Frightened City (1961, John Lemont), the year before he made it big as 007.Oliver Reed would be Romain's most frequent co-star, though. The two appeared together again in an episode of The Saint, and for a fourth and final time in The Brigand of Kandahar (1965, John Gilling). It was his (and her!) last Hammer outing.
Yvonne Romain fell in love with and married film composer Leslie Bricusse (Goldfinger, You Only Twice) and subsequently moved to L.A. At that time she had to turn down a seven year contract with Fellini as that would have meant spending all the time in Rome away from her Hollywood based husband and little son. Once based in the USA, she gradually moved away from the film business. She starred alongside Ann-Margret in the groovy The Swinger (1966, George Sidney), and Elvis Presley in Double Trouble (1967, Norman Taurog), which she herself calls a 'dreadful movie', though she enjoyed the experience. She then practically retired and only returned to the screen briefly for the Anthony Perkins/Stephen Sondheim-scripted murder mystery The Last of Sheila (1973, Herbert Ross). She plays the title character; however, Romain is in the film only briefly as the victim of a brutal murder in the film's opening scene. After this last film, Yvonne Romain retired from acting. She has assisted her husband in writing scores, and is now living in Paris. Still stunning looking at 70 she occasionally shows up at Fan Gettogethers. Sexy and sultry, she may not have made a huge number of screen appearances, but is fondly remembered by male Hammer Fans the world over.

En isvas, en ganska sällsynt variant av en ispigg, kan bildas när en grund pöl med rent vatten snabbt fryser. Ytan fryser till, men vattnet nedanför fortsätter att expandera när det rinner upp genom den sista kvarvarande ofrusta platsen. Om detta expanderande vatten fryser vid sina kanter i samma takt som det expanderar, växer rör som kallas isspik uppåt eller i en vasliknande form fylld med flytande vatten.

Voluptuous American actress Mamie Van Doren (1931) was a sex symbol of the 1950s and 1960s. Van Doren starred in several exploitation films such as Untamed Youth (1957), loaded with rock 'n' roll and juvenile delinquency. Her onscreen wardrobe usually consisted of tight sweaters, low-cut blouses, form-fitting dresses, and daring swimsuits. Mamie and her colleague blonde bombshells Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield were known as 'The Three M's.'
Mamie Van Doren was born Joan Lucille Olander in Rowena, South Dakota, in 1931. She was the daughter of Warner Carl Olander and Lucille Harriet Bennett. In 1942 the family moved to Los Angeles. In early 1946, Van Doren began working as an usher at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. The following year, she had a bit part on an early television show. She also sang with Ted Fio Rito's band and entered several beauty contests. She was married for a brief time at seventeen when Van Doren and her first husband, Jack Newman, eloped to Santa Barbara. The marriage was dissolved quickly, upon her discovery of his abusive nature. In the summer of 1949, at age 18, she won the titles Miss Eight Ball and Miss Palm Springs. Van Doren was discovered by producer Howard Hughes the night she was crowned Miss Palm Springs. The pair dated for five years. Hughes provided her with a bit role in Jet Pilot at RKO Radio Pictures. Her line of dialogue inconsisted of one word, "Look!". The following year, 1951, she posed for famous pin-up girl artist Alberto Vargas, the painter of the glamorous Vargas Girls. His painting of Van Doren was on the July 1951 cover of Esquire magazine. Van Doren did a few more bit parts in RKO films, including His Kind of Woman (John Farrow, 1951) starring Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell. Van Doren then began working on the stage. She was a showgirl in New York in Monte Proser's nightclub version of Billion Dollar Baby. Songwriter Jimmy McHugh discovered her for his musicals, then decided she was too good for the chorus line and should have dramatic training. She studied with Ben Bard and Bliss-Hayden. While appearing in the role of Marie in a showcase production of Come Back, Little Sheba, Van Doren was seen by Phil Benjamin, a casting director at Universal International. In 1953, Van Doren signed a contract with Universal Studios. They had big plans for her, hoping she would bring the same kind of success that 20th Century Fox had with Marilyn Monroe. Van Doren, whose signing day coincided with the inauguration of President Eisenhower, was given the first name Mamie for Ike's wife, Mamie Eisenhower. Universal first cast Van Doren in a minor role as a singer in Forbidden (Rudolph Maté, 1953), starring Tony Curtis. Interested in Van Doren's allure, Universal then cast her again opposite Curtis in The All American (Jesse Hibbs, 1953), playing her first major role as Susie Ward, a wayward girl who is the man-trap at a campus beer joint. In Yankee Pasha (Joseph Pevney, 1954), starring Jeff Chandler and Rhonda Fleming, she played a slave girl, Lilith. In 1955, she had a supporting role in the musical Ain't Misbehavin' (Edward Buzzell, 1955) and starred in the crime-drama, Running Wild (Abner Biberman, 1955). Soon thereafter, Van Doren turned down a Broadway role in the play Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?, and was replaced by newcomer Jayne Mansfield. In 1956, Van Doren appeared in the Western Star in the Dust (Charles F. Haas, 1956). Though Van Doren garnered prominent billing alongside John Agar and Richard Boone, she appears rather briefly, as the daughter of a ranch owner. By this time, Van Doren had grown tired of Universal, which was only casting her in non-breakthrough roles. Therefore, Van Doren began accepting bigger roles in better movies from other studios, such as Teacher's Pet (George Seaton, 1958) with Doris Day and Clark Gable. She appeared in some of the first movies to feature rock 'n' roll music, such as Untamed Youth (Howard W. Koch, 1957). The film was originally condemned by the Catholic Legion of Decency, but that only served to enhance the curiosity factor, resulting in it being a big moneymaker for the studio. Van Doren became identified with this rebellious style, and made some rock records. She went to star in several bad girl movies that later became cult films. These include Born Reckless (Howard W. Koch, 1958), High School Confidential (Jack Arnold, 1958), and The Beat Generation (Charles F. Haas, 1959). After Universal Studios chose not to renew her contract in 1959, Van Doren was now a free agent and had to struggle to find work.
Mamie Van Doren became known for her provocative roles. She was in prison for Girls Town (Charles F. Haas, 1959), which provoked censors with a shower scene where audiences could see Van Doren's naked back. As Eve in The Private Lives of Adam and Eve (Mickey Rooney, Albert Zugsmith, 1960) she wore only fig leaves, and in other films, like Vice Raid (Edward L. Cahn, 1960) audiences were clued in as to the nature of the films from the titles. Many of these productions were low-budget B-movies which sometimes gained a cult following for their high camp value. An example is Sex Kittens Go to College (Albert Zugsmith, 1960), which co-starred Tuesday Weld and Mijanou Bardot - Brigitte's sister. Mamie also appeared in foreign productions, such as the Italian crime comedy Le bellissime gambe di Sabrina/The Beautiful Legs of Sabrina (Camillo Mastrocinque, 1959) with Antonio Cifariello, and the Argentine film Una americana en Buenos Aires/The Blonde from Buenos Aires (George Cahan, 1961) with Jean-Pierre Aumont. Van Doren took some time off from her career and came back to the screen in 1964. That year she played in the German Western musical Freddy und das Lied der Prärie/In the Wild West (Sobey Martin, 1964), starring Freddy Quinn and Rik Battaglia. Tommy Noonan convinced Van Doren to appear in 3 Nuts in Search of a Bolt (Tommy Noonan, 1964). Van Doren had turned down Noonan's previous offer to star in Promises! Promises!, in which she would have to do nude scenes. She was replaced by Jayne Mansfield. In 3 Nuts in Search of a Bolt, Mamie did a beer-bath scene, but is not seen nude. She posed for Playboy to promote the film. Van Doren next appeared in The Las Vegas Hillbillys (Arthur C. Pierce, 1966) which co-starred Jayne Mansfield. It was the only time two of 'The Three M's' appeared together in a film. A sequel was titled Hillbillys in a Haunted House, but Van Doren turned this role down, and was replaced by Joi Lansing. She appeared in You've Got to Be Smart (Ellis Kadison, 1967), and the sci-fi film, Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women (1968), directed by the young Peter Bogdanovich (as Derek Thomas). In this film astronauts land on Venus and encounter dangerous creatures and meet sexy Venusian women who like to sun-bathe in hip-hugging skin-tight pants and seashell brassieres. In 1968, she was offered the role of a murder victim in the independent horror film The Ice House as a replacement for Mansfield, who died the previous year. She turned the offer down, however, and was replaced by Sabrina. During the Vietnam War, she did tours for U.S. troops in Vietnam for three months in 1968, and again in 1970. Van Doren also developed a nightclub act and did live theater. She performed in stage productions of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Dames at Sea at the Drury Lane Theater, Chicago, and appeared in Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? and The Tender Trap at the Arlington Park Theater. In the 1970s, Van Doren performed a nightclub act in Las Vegas as well. Van Doren had a supporting role in the Western The Arizona Kid (Luciano B. Carlos, 1970). Since then, Van Doren has appeared only in cameo appearances in low-budgeted films. To this date Van Doren's last film appearance was a cameo role in the comedy Slackers (Dewey Nicks, 2002). Van Doren's guest appearances on television include Jukebox Jury, What's My Line, The Bob Cummings Show, The Jack Benny Show, Fantasy Island, Burke's Law, Vega$, and L.A. Law. Van Doren released her autobiography, Playing the Field, in 1987 which brought much new attention and proved to be her biggest media splash in over 25 years. Since the book's publication she has often been interviewed and profiled and has occasionally returned to acting. Van Doren has been married five times. Her first marriage was to sportswear manufacturer Jack Newman whom she married and divorced in 1950. Her second marriage was to bandleader, composer and actor Ray Anthony whom she married in 1955. They had one son, Perry Ray Anthony (1956). The couple later divorced in 1961. When Van Doren's early 1960s, highly publicized, on-again off-again engagement to baseball player Bo Belinsky ended in 1964, she married baseball player Lee Meyers in 1966. They were divorced in 1967. Her fourth marriage was to businessman Ross McClintock in 1972. They met while working on President Nixon's reelection campaign; the marriage was annulled in 1973. Since 1979 she has been married to Thomas Dixon, an actor and dentist.

West German postcard by ISV, no. A 35. Photo: 20th Century Fox. Jean Peters in Three Coins in the Fountain (Jean Negulesco, 1954).
Green-eyed beauty Jean Peters (1926-2000) flashed across the screen in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Peters did not want to be turned into a sex symbol. She preferred to play unglamorous, down-to-earth women. After just seven years as a bright star of 20th Century Fox, she joined the reclusive lifestyle of her eccentric billionaire husband, Howard Hughes, and became his second wife.
Jean Elizabeth Peters was born in 1926 in East Canton, Ohio, the daughter of Elizabeth (née Diesel) and Gerald Peters, a laundry manager. Her father died when she was ten years old. Her mother owned a tourist camp on the outskirts of town, and there was enough money around to send Jean to college. She went to college at the University of Michigan and later the Ohio State University, where she studied to become a teacher and majored in literature. A campus popularity contest she won ended her plans as an English teacher because it came with a trip to Hollywood and a screen test. In short order, "Miss Ohio State University; was offered a seven-year contract at 20th Century-Fox with a starting salary of $150 a week. It was announced that in her first film, I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now (Lloyd Bacon, 1947), she would play an "ugly duckling", supported by "artificial freckles and horn-rimmed glasses". After being picked by Darryl F. Zanuck to co-star opposite Tyrone Power in the studio's splashy big-budget swashbuckler Captain from Castile (Henry King, 1947), Jean came to the attention of Howard Hughes. She discreetly dated him for the remainder of the decade and continued to live an unpretentious lifestyle, rarely seen in public and eschewing Hollywood nightlife and parties. A self-confessed tomboy, she rarely wore make-up in private and preferred to dress in jeans rather than glamorous gowns. She and her mother lived in a smallish bungalow in Bel-Air, paid for by Hughes. After relative success in her second feature, Deep Waters (Henry King, 1948), opposite Dana Andrews, she became increasingly dissatisfied with the prissy roles she was assigned in her subsequent efforts. She was no shrinking violet when it came to defending her interests: she refused outright to appear in Yellow Sky (William A. Wellman, 1948) - a part she thought as "too sexy" - and Sand (Louis King, 1949). As a result, the studio, frustrated by her stubbornness, put her on suspension. She returned to farm life in Ohio, but was back in New York in 1951 to be screen-tested by Elia Kazan for the epic biopic of Mexican revolutionary hero Emiliano Zapata in Viva Zapata! (Elia Kazan, 1952), shot on location in Mexico with Marlon Brando in the lead.
Fox wisely used Jean Peters during the next few years for similarly unglamorous outdoor roles, notably as the titular heroine of Anne of the Indies (Jacques Tourneur, 1951), and a tempestuous girl living in the Georgia swamps in Lure of the Wilderness (Jean Negulesco, 1952). Then followed a gum-chewing dame innocently involved in espionage in Samuel Fuller's Pickup on South Street (1953). Fuller said he thought Peters had the right blend of sex appeal and the tough-talking, streetwise quality he was seeking. Then she was Burt Lancaster's Indian squaw in the hard-hitting Western Apache (Robert Aldrich, 1954). She got good notices in all of these films and was now recognised as a major star. As a result, she was cast in the prestigious Film Noir Niagara (Henry Hathaway, 1953), opposite Joseph Cotten and Marilyn Monroe (both of whom she befriended), and the Spencer Tracy Western Broken Lance (Edward Dmytryk, 1954). Under a new contract with Fox, Jean was no longer in a position to refuse an assignment and, though unhappy with her part in Three Coins in the Fountain (Jean Negulesco, 1954), the picture proved to be one of her most popular pictures to date. Her next film, A Man Called Peter (Henry Koster, 1955), starring Richard Todd, was to be her swan song. Following a 33-day marriage to Stuart Warren Cramer III, a Texan oilman, which ended in a whirlwind divorce, Jean finally married Howard Hughes in a secret ceremony and left public life for the next 13 years. She never gave interviews and retreated to an isolated hilltop mansion above the Santa Monica Mountains. In 1969 she resurfaced, studying for a degree in sociology at UCLA under an assumed name. When Jean's marriage to Hughes ended in June 1971, the actress settled for the relatively modest sum of $70,000 a year and happily waived any further claims on the estate. That same year she got married for the third time, to 20th Century-Fox vice-president Stanley Hough. Her screen career was briefly resuscitated when she was cast in the miniseries Arthur Hailey's the Moneychangers (Boris Sagal, 1976) and she was last seen in an episode of Murder, She Wrote (1984). She devoted her final years to charitable causes and never spoke in public about her years with Howard Hughes. Jean Peters died of leukaemia in 2000 in Carlsbad, California.

Janette Scott (1938) is a retired English actress, who started her career as a child actress at the age of 3. From the late 1950s to the mid-1960s, she was a leading lady in British films in which she co-starred with Terry-Thomas, Ian Carmichael, and Laurence Olivier. She is best remembered from the line "And I really got hot When I saw Janette Scott fight a triffid that spits poison and kills" in the opening song of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). Scott gave up her film career upon marrying singer Mel Torme.
Thora Janette Scott was born in 1938 in Morecambe, Lancashire, England. She is the daughter of actors Jimmy Scott and Thora Hird and began her acting career as a child actress known as Janette Scott. She made her film debut only 3-years-old in the British war film Went the Day Well? (Alberto Cavalcanti, 1942), adapted from a story by Graham Greene. The film was produced by Michael Balcon of Ealing Studios and served as unofficial propaganda for the war effort. It tells of how an English village is taken over by German paratroopers. After a few bit roles, she had her first big part as Jennifer in No Place for Jennifer (Henry Cass, 1950) with Leo Genn and Rosamund John. She played a young girl, who experiences a trauma when her parents' divorce. Another big role followed in the sports comedy The Galloping Major (Henry Cornelius, 1951), starring Basil Radford. The title is taken from the song 'The Galloping Major', and the plot was centered on gambling at the horse racing track. She also co-starred in the British 20th Century Fox production No Highway in the Sky/No Highway (Henry Koster, 1951), starring James Stewart and Marlene Dietrich. Scott appeared in the British Technicolor biographical drama The Magic Box (John Boulting, 1951). The film stars Robert Donat as William Friese-Greene, who first designed and patented one of the earliest working cinematic cameras. Told in flashback, the film details Friese-Greene's tireless experiments with the 'moving image', leading inexorably to a series of failures and disappointments, as others hog the credit for the protagonist's discoveries. Scott was briefly (along with Jennifer Gay) one of the so-called 'Children's Announcers' providing continuity links for the BBC's children's TV programs in the early 1950s. At the age of 14, Scott wrote her autobiography, 'Act One'. During the 1950s, she also appeared in such films as the divorce drama Background/Edge of Divorce (Daniel Birt, 1953) starring Valerie Hobson, the musical comedy As Long as They're Happy (J. Lee Thompson, 1955) starring Jack Buchanan and Diana Dors, and as Cassandra in the Hollywood epic Helen of Troy (Robert Wise, 1956), based on Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. Scott also had the leading role in the romance Now and Forever (Mario Zampi, 1956). It was Scott's first adult role in which she got her first screen kiss.
In the late 1950s, Janette Scott became a popular leading lady. She appeared with Ian Carmichael in the comedy Happy Is the Bride (Roy Boulting, 1958), and with Anna Neagle and Frankie Vaughan in The Lady Is a Square (Herbert Wilcox, 1958). She is known to American audiences for her role as the parson's wife in The Devil's Disciple (Guy Hamilton, 1959) starring Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, and Laurence Olivier. One of her other well-known roles is April Smith in the British comedy School for Scoundrels (Robert Hamer, 1960), based on the 'one-upmanship' books by Stephen Potter, in which Ian Carmichael and Terry-Thomas competed for her attention. Scott is referenced to in the song 'Science Fiction/Double Feature', the opening number from The Rocky Horror Show and its film version The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Jim Sharman, 1975) for her participation in The Day of the Triffids (Steve Sekely, 1962): "And I really got hot When I saw Janette Scott fight a triffid that spits poison and kills." The British Science Fiction film stars Howard Keel and Nicole Maurey, and was loosely based on the 1951 novel of the same name by John Wyndham. She later appeared in the Hammer thriller Paranoiac (Freddie Francis, 1963) with Oliver Reed, Siege of the Saxons (Nathan H. Juran, 1963), set in the time of King Arthur, and the American horror-comedy The Old Dark House (William Castle, 1963), a remake of the 1932 film by James Whale. The photo of the postcard was produced for The Beauty Jungle/ Contest Girl (Val Guest, 1964), about " the beauty profession and all of its hypocrisy and sordid publicity stunts", according to Wikipedia. Ordinarily a brunette, Scott dyed her hair blonde to take on a sort of sex bomb persona for the film. Her final films were the American Science-Fiction Crack in the World (Andrew Marton, 1965) a 'doomsday disaster movie' filmed in Spain, and the American comedy Bikini Paradise/White Savage (Gregg Tallas, 1967). In the meantime, she had married American Jazz singer Mel Torme and gave up her career to raise a family. Janette Scott has been married three times: to Canadian singer and TV host Jackie Rae (1959-1965; divorced), Mel Tormé (1966-1977; divorced), and William Rademaekers (since 1981). With Mel Tormé, she has two children, actress Daisy Tormé (1969) and songwriter James Tormé (1973). In 1997, she returned to the screen for a cameo in the popular TV series Last of the Summer Wine in the episode There Goes the Groom. Although she is credited in the cast of the British film How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (Robert B. Weide, 2008), Scott did not return to the cinema. Her character - the deceased mother of the Simon Pegg character - is seen only in flashbacks as a very young woman, extracts from her film Now and Forever (Mario Zampi, 1956).
