So Sparkle Girls fashions still haven’t turned up in Australia but I still keep an eye on Sparkle Girls merch when I can. Today I saw this fashion pack I was going to ignore but I noticed the arms were posed weirdly and saw it was fully articulated. I made sure she had jointed knees and I bought the one set with clothes I liked (which was the green sweater).
Honestly I was hoping to get a decent match to my super orange/pink Yukko chan clone head, but Carrie’s head is too pink. Also the Sparkle Girl body is super lightweight and hollow, and the hip joints are so badly designed the hips just splay out.
The head is also super short so I don’t think anything but vintage style Skipper heads could even fit on it.
PLUS all the “outfits” are one piece things so the sweater is sewn into the short skirt and the dance top is sewn into the shorts.
But hey, I’m going to dremel the heck out of the so hopefully I can find a decent match.
This is one of the 33 year old bridge expansion joints on westbound I-90 at the East Channel Bridge.
The expansion joint is one of two that will be replaced during work scheduled to occur July 18-25.
In the middle of the joint, you can clearly see where it is breaking apart. The rubber seal in the joint is also broken and allowing water to leak into the joint.
The expansion joint must be replaced before it fails completely and severely damages cars and compromises the integrity of the bridge. Expansion joints are critical to how a bridge functions allowing it to bend and move with changing weather and traffic loads.
Trying the bionicle friction sliders out, but they where to long for the belly joint so I just used the one connector part in the same manner. There seems to be enough stiffness for this to work ok here and I may try this for the arms as well.

...by rotating the parts around pivot points - so not exactly accurate, but it's fun to get an idea of how she might move. That's the main downside to working digitally - you can't know for sure how something will work, or how it will feel - like will the joints move easily?, will they kick? etc...
Next time (she says, already!), I'll start sculpting directly in Blender, rather than Sculptris, because although it's great as an introductory tool to 3d modelling, it's very difficult to control the topology, so my model has a lot of kinks that keep needing to be ironed out. Blender's sculpting tools are harder to get the hang of, but I found with practice it becomes more and more intuitive.
Still so much to do!!
What do you think? Are the hands toooo small? :D

The Alfa Romeo BAT is an Italian concept car. The car originated in a joint collaboration project between Alfa Romeo and the Italian design house Bertone that began in 1953. Of the successful project came three cars: the BAT 5 in 1953, the BAT 7 in 1954, and finally the BAT 9 in 1955. All three cars were designed by Franco Scaglione.
History
Alfa Romeo contacted Giuseppe "Nuccio" Bertone of the Bertone design house in order to commission three concept vehicles with extensive research on the effects of drag on a vehicle. The idea was to create vehicles with the lowest possible drag coefficient. The cars were named BAT for "Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica." All the cars featured large rear bumpers and curved fins, truly a unique design. They were built upon the Alfa Romeo 1900 chassis. Each year between 1953 and 1955 at the Turin Auto show, Bertone and Alfa Romeo presented a BAT concept, the BAT 5, 7 and 9.
The cars were successful in their goal, the best achieving a drag coefficient of 0.19, an achievement even by today's standards. For each of the cars, Alfa Romeo provided a five-speed gearbox and a powerful four-cylinder engine that produced more than 90 horsepower (67 kW), good enough to propel the car to a top speed of 125 mph (201 km/h).
All three original BATs have been restored and are on long-term exhibition at the Blackhawk Museum in Blackhawk, California since 2005. They also make appearances at car shows such as the annual Concorso Italiano in Monterey, California.
BAT 5[edit]
The BAT 5 was the first of the Bertone-Alfa Romeo BAT project. It was first shown at the Turin Auto show in 1953. The design of the model was based on a study of aerodynamics. The shape of the front in fact aims to eliminate the problem of airflow disruption at high speeds. The design also aims to do away with any extra resistance generated by the wheels turning, as well as achieving a structure which would create the fewest possible air vortices. In practice these rigorous criteria would allow the car to reach 200 km/h (120 mph) with the 100 hp (75 kW) engine mounted as standard. The design that Bertone came up with was for an extremely light car (1,100 kg (2,400 lb)), the ultimate in streamlining, with side windows at a 45 degree angle with respect to the body of the car and a large windscreen which blends in perfectly with the almost flat roof. The most surprising part of the car has to be the tail, with the length-ways rear windscreen divided by a slim pillar, and the two fins tapering upwards and slightly inwards, for a highly aesthetic finish. There was no shortage of positive feedback: the car was an immediate hit for its aerodynamics and noteworthy stability at high speeds. Bertone had solved the problem of aerodynamic stability, creating a car with an excellent index of penetration, with a Cd of 0.23.
BAT 7
1954 Alfa Romeo BAT 7
The second BAT to be shown at the Turin Auto Show, this time in 1954, a year after the BAT 5. The BAT 7 took up the styling dictates of the previous model, the BAT 5, and worked them to the limit. For this 1954 design, as for the other BAT models, though less evidently, Bertone added some elements from his experience working on wing profiles in the aeronautical industry. The result was the exaggerated shape of the large, curved tail fins.
The nose was lower than the BAT 5's, and the protrusions where the headlights would normally be found stuck out even further. The headlights were located next to the nose and moved to point down when used. Even Fiat's experimental one-off wind-tunnel-derived Turbine car, the Turbina, which also made its debut at the show, seemed tame in comparison. The Cd was 0.19.
The BAT 7 features in the Top Gear book Daft Cars by Matt Master.
BAT 9
1955 Alfa Romeo BAT 9
The third and final BAT car to be made and shown at the Turin Auto show was the BAT 9. It was made to look more like the current Alfa Romeo models than the other BATs had.
The BAT 9 did away with the marked wing lines of the previous models in favour of a cleaner, more sober line. The tail fins, which in the other two models, 5 and 7, had a real wing-like look, were sized down into two small metal plates, much like the tail fins in production on American and some European cars of the time. Bertone transformed the highly creative styling of the two previous BAT models into design credibility, abandoning the extremes of the other designs.
