La Machine has finally been revealed. Its a 50ft tall spider! Ok so it looks small there but remember that spiders always have really long legs. I’ve seen this with its legs out and its big. Some stats. It weighs 37 tonnes. Its 50 feet high. 50 hydraulic axes of movement. Its made from steel and reclaimed poplar. It moves, it does move, at 2mph and took 1 year to build. There will be 7 different special effects. Water, flame, smoke, wind, snow, light and sound. I’m going to take my G9 to get a movie, its too big an event not to, but given the other 2 bodies I’ll have I may get lost in the viewfinder and forget to make a movie. Oh for a Nikon D90.

A handle from an old rusted farm implement that I saw on the side of the highway. I stopped to see what I could capture.

The Lloyds Building in the City of London. I remember a time when the security would chase you away......now we all revel in its architectural elegance.

The stamps engine house was built in 1876 to drive a set of Cornish stamps, during the 1872-1887 working of the mine for tin. The boilers were built to the rear of the house in line with the engine, and the cylinder opening was positioned in the side wall - the arched doorway in the photo. This was quite a common practice if a side mounted boiler house would get in the way of the ore feed to the stamps.
In 1912 the mine was re-opened in a search for wolfram, to be used for tungsten machine tool bits. The stamps engine house was modified for a gas engine to drive a set of Californian stamps - the square hole in the side wall of the house was for the drive shaft of the engine. The mountings for the stamps can be seen on the extreme left of the photo, and the tall concrete plinth on the right was for a stone crusher. The venture was unsuccessful and the mine closed in 1918. Another short-lived attempt was made in 1938, again with no success.
I used a slicing method I learned a while back. I machine quilted it on my Singer 7460 machine.
Singer Sewing Co. has the instructions I wrote on how to make this on their website. Go to www.singerco.com/projects/?project_id=542&detail=1 if you're interested.

At the start, I already set my target on making my entry based on a set, originally I was thinking of choosing either Sentai Headquarters or Combat Crawler X2, however I didn’t have a good amount of a certain color or parts I needed… yes I was planning on using a shit ton of bones on the Sentai Headquarters!
With Storm Lasher, the only part I didn’t have that I need for it was the sword pieces for the wings, or the amount I need at least. I use some other blades as a replacement for the lack of those parts. As you can see, I use lots of bones to make the around wing like with the Cave MOC, but all cover with shells.
The tail I didn’t have the parts I need, and the first thing that came to my mind is using the Skrall’s helmets; was a bit annoying putting them on until I found the hand joints to get the shaping right.
The weapons I could had just went with more detail, but I wanted to add some shooters for no reason whatsoever, and now they look like eyes. And with covering the front of the head and the bottom I had to use some rubber bands to get some add-on armor to stay put.
As with the Mini Dragonfly Bot, the color of the wings have to be replace with white, do to not having those hinge pieces and there not being a lot (that I have) of transparent pieces to be use as wings.
For the rest of it, thankfully the banana costume with hand in it helps give a curve shape on top, and than finding ways to get it not to look like a banana on top of a bug.

The 1/6-scale character of Cloë started out with the stage name Khloë K. Koffiny as a drummer for Yasmin, Sasha, and Jade's garage band, "Vagabonds' House." But this head sculpt and the bodies I was pairing it with didn't really work for me, and the looks of the character didn't mesh well with Yas and the gang.
The head sculpt has bounced around among a number of incarnations. Recently I ended up with an "extra" Jiaou 10E body, which I purchased for another project but, duhhh..., I purchased the wrong color.
I tried pairing the misfit body with mistfit Cloë's head and it worked. Well, it worked in an over-the-top (and over-developed) kitschy-cartoonish sort of way.
I didn't really need another "adventure girl" figure, but here she is -- Machine-Gun Cloë!
Cloë is much happier as a stand-alone character -- who totes a Tommy-gun -- than she was as a background member of a girl band.
Head: SuperDuck SDH-019B
Body: Jiaou 10E WS "white skin"
Before sewing machines were invented women spent much of their time maintaining their family's clothing. Middle-class housewives, even with the aid of a hired seamstress, would devote several days of each month to this task. It took an experienced seamstress at least 14 hours to make a dress shirt for a man; a woman's dress took 10 hours; and a pair of summer pants took nearly three hours. Most individuals would have only two sets of clothing: a work outfit and a Sunday outfit.In 1790, the English inventor Thomas Saint invented the first sewing machine design. His machine was meant to be used on leather and canvas material. The first practical and widely used sewing machine was invented by Barthélemy Thimonnier, a French tailor, in 1829. The first American lockstitch sewing machine was invented by Walter Hunt in 1832. His machine used an eye-pointed needle (with the eye and the point on the same end) carrying the upper thread and a falling shuttle carrying the lower thread.
