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"

Aquesta maquina xifradora alemana, la Lorenz SZ-42, molt més complicada però amb menys fama que la Enigma, era emprada per les comunicacions més importants, entre Hitler i els seus comandaments d'exèrcits. En teoria, era quasi imposible de 'petar', però els anglesos ho feren possible, i de pasada inventaren els ordinadors! Aquests rotors que es veuen, dotze en total, produien lletres semi-aleatories que “ocultaven” les lletres del text original. Mireu els enllaços que us passo per compendre el funcionament d’aquesta complexa peça d’enginyeria.

 

Bletchley Park és un dels llocs més fascinants de la historia del segle XX. Aquí, durant la II Guerra Mundial i buscant la manera de desxifrar els codis militars alemanys, en sorgí la informatica i els ordinadors.

========================================================

 

This electromechanical cypher machine, the Lorenz SZ-42, was used by Hitler and his generals for the most important messages. It is much more complex and difficult to crack than the much more famous Enigma machine, but even this one was in the end broken by the people in Bletchley Park. And as a side-product, they invented the computers! Look at my picture of the Colossus for more info. Lorenz twelve rotors produced a pair of pseudo-random characters that masked the plain text character introduced into the machine.

 

Bletchley Park is one of the most amazing historical places related to the XX Century in general and to WWII in particular. Here, during the colossal effort to crack the german military codes, computers and computing science were born (or at least had their main intial development).

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.

I really do enjoy a good coffee/espresso/latte and my new hand-press is fantastic!

I used a slicing method I learned a while back. I machine quilted it on my Singer 7460 machine.

This old parking garage ramp feels like a time machine to the past. Descending the ramp you feel like you are going back in time, at least until you emerge into the modern city.

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.

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.

is this the train to the valley?

yes, sir. that's where we're going.

ok, good. I can't wait for the wine tasting.

temperature's gonna hit at least 120 today, I hear.

what? in napa valley? how do grapes grow in such heat?

napa valley? ha ha. no, this train's bound for death valley. one way.

what? it can't be! I didn't even bring any water!

I suggest you try and find some shade there. if you can. ha ha!

I'm gonna fry!

like a bug under a lens, probably. just sit back, relax and conserve your strength. you're gonna need it.

MODEL: Kim O'Malley

 

This was taken in the mansion and then was followed by some fun post processing to make Kim appear cybernetic. It was my first cybernetic transformation attempt, and I'm pleased with the result. Thoughts, and comments are welcomed. I titled it after the Regina Spektor song, 'Machine'.

I would suggest viewing this in light box if you want a closer look at her wrist and the lines across her face and hands.

This is the start to a new series that I'm going to really concentrate and focus on the make it as wonderful as I possibly can. If I can somehow capture the lighting how I want to in every photo and the mood and colorful vibes that I'm picturing for future photos mixed with the dark theme...I'll know I captured what I was looking for.

 

I'm having a print giveaway!

HDR, yes a bit overdone, but I wanted that look.
