ALIEN ANONYMOUS--SERIES VISION:
POV: Bold-Strokes...
SO: you're in a theater, 40 minutes into, say, a 'romantic comedy'...
SUDDENLY: PALEOLITHIC cave painters appear on screen @ work on the most breathtaking mural ever seen...no explanation...an ineffable gravitas, a virtually palpable sense of history alive, including even (widely reported) the scent of smoke and human sweat...
FOR 12 INEXPLICABLE MINUTES...speaking in a language never heard by modern humanity, one artist even apparently making a joke that elicits loud collective laughter echoing through invisible chambers of an unknown cave (the location soon after discovered, further removing the prospect of a grand hoax & emphasizing a non-human intelligence behind it)
...SOME of the (unknowingly global) audience is intrigued and even mesmerized, others, after a minute or two, irritated, descend across time-zones (but mostly PST, West Coast U.S) to multiplex lobbies to complain, demand an explanation, what'-s-this-TRAILER doing interrupting what-I-Paid-To-SEE, etc...
WELL who knew? it's FIRST CONTACT...but nothing follows for weeks...as the world rocks in the vast roll of a wholly unforeseen Sea Change...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HUMANITY'S FIRST COLLECTIVE OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE?
FOR THE RECORD:
"...THE WORLD WILL BE BESIDE ITSELF--
THERE WILL BE FEAR...SHOCK...MYSTERY...AWE...REVERENCE...HILARITY...
NEW RELIGIOUS DIVIDES, THRILLING SOLIDARITY, ASTONISHING 'FAULT-LINES' THROUGH EVERY ESTABLISHED POWER-BASE,
ROBUST & UNPREDICTABLE SOCIAL UPHEAVAL
ACROSS THE GLOBE.
MEANWHILE, INCREASINGLY 'FORWARD-LEANING' 'COMPETITION' AMONG HOLLYWOOD'S MOST ILLUSTRIOUS "CANDIDATES" FOR "DIRECTOR'S CUT"
WILL REDEFINE OLD FRIENDSHIPS & RIVALRIES...
AND YES, HOW COULD IT BE OTHERWISE?--
THERE WILL BE DINOSAURS..."

Having recently upgraded to a 4K television and player, I'm now on the lookout for movies that seem like they'll really benefit from the 4K and HDR treatment. Interstellar seems like a shoo-in for this!
Photo-a-Day: Year 13, Day 193 - Total Days: 4576
The past few days I've spent moulding and casting the thruster module, this morning I cast up another couple which turned out beautifully. The pour spout is crudely cut into the mould, but it appears on a flat panel and all I do with each cast is mill that surface nice and clean before applying filler to any stray bubbles.
This evening I turned my attention back to the ranger, masking off the hull so that I could strategically Bondo the part which I've taken to calling 'The Headscarf'
That took a lot of patient sculpting, but so far so good.
Then later on I milled the retro thrusters, airlock and the four clasp locks that surround it.
Tomorrow I'll machine the thrusters and fit them in place, probably out of acrylic or acetal

Paintwork on 11 of 12 modules is finalised, armature has been bolted and glued permanently, Landers are almost done and the finish line is most definitely in sight now.
I'm going to use LEGO 2x2 dishes for the module joints, and as you can see each joint has been wrapped in medical tape for the thermal blanket appearance.
On Saturday I'll finish the Landers and machine an aluminium wall mount, then by Tuesday I plan to have the final photographs done.
What a journey...
On a brisk October evening, the tail end of the Milky Way faintly comes into view as a pair of Chesapeake and Indiana (former DMIR) SDM Locomotives sit silently at Thomaston, Indiana. These locomotives would later be tasked with pulling an interchange train to the CSX the following morning.
Brain lock channeled into boondock bondage,
Broken brain syndrome in an e-tard fashion.
Colorless morphine dripping from the sky,
Salmonella dreams from a naughty little jungle.
This is how we do it.
This is how we do it.
I dropped kraans and the moon said something to me,
He said man I've got all the kraans you could ever need.
Sipping from a candle in another vivid dream,
Tripping over Percocets and waiting for the screams.
This is how we do it nukkah,
This is how it is.
Interstellar space travel,
Slipping from the seems.
Distant black wasteland ,
Otherworldly fiends.
Interviewing vampires,
A mile in the green.
Catch me if you can,
A ghost-faced scream.
This is how we do it.
This is wait, what?
Long past overdrive,
Nothings what it seems.
Quantamly orderly,
Picking at the weeds.
Lightly salted pigments,
In a plastic jar.
Four exalted figments,
In a dream too far.
This is what I am.
This is what you are.
Fuck that white noise I'm slipping away,
Intercept my signal on the other side.
I ain't got nothing against any gays,
I'm gonna leave this world behind.
This is how we do it,
This is how it's done.
This is how we do it,
It's all in good fun.
I'm coming to you.
I'm coming for you.
I'm coming in you.
Wait, what?

Vast stretches of interstellar gas and dust are seen here just below the Orion Nebula. Newly-formed stars illuminate some of the dust, creating the blue-coloured reflection nebulae.

Computron City is the first level in Interstellar Force. I thought that the city with its multi-layered parallax scrolling background would be a good opener level for the game. This is shown with the iPhone 4 graphic. I created all of the city graphics using an old version of Paint Shop Pro for windows XP.
I finally accepted that the Lander was too stubby and bit the bullet by performing some plastic surgery on the belly (badum-tsshhh)
I'll admit this ship is wreaking through every skill I know, it's a deep technical challenge. Definitely a harder task than I had pegged it to be, however...not an insurmountable one !
In other news I began machining the brass armature.
Looks like the scanner didn't pick up the lines. Anyways, this should give a bit of an indication of my creative process.
Roughing out the joint module before final detailing and moulding, also adding minor details over the model.
Next week I'll have to solder the cruciform central arm, so the resin tunnel modules are just dry fitted for now.
I've been somewhat neglectful of cracking on with the project recently, hanging over my head (literally, it lives on the workshop wall) incomplete, with a feeling of resentment towards how difficult the build has been.
However, I took advantage of being home on sick leave to get back on with the Landers- it's been a while since I've painted anything so it was a welcome change of scenery to building. Difficult to avoid a somewhat cartoony look at this stage, I may have to knock the contrast down with some white chalk powder judiciously applied in some areas....
Aldeberan 2 - the desert planet. I like this level because it mixes up the colors with bright yellow and orange hues. I'm also quote pleased with the final version of the ground and mountains. The yellow/orange "dots" are the remnants of an enemy ship explosion - - this photo was taken off of the iPhone simulator on my Macbook Pro. Like most of the levels, the graphics here were created using an old version of Paint Shop Pro for Windows XP
The casts for the rocket engine system all came out beautifully, and as you can see I was eager to firmly superglue them down into the modules.
This is why we use reference material kids! I had glued them in upside down, there needed to be three thrusters on the outermost edge, not one....
After some question of how to remove them, I wound up whacking the modules in a vice and prying the engines out with a chisel, surprisingly I only had to recast one thruster, everything else went fine!
Detailing on the Habitation Module. I still need to place a couple of windows in the angled recess, but overall it's nearly ready for moulding.
