The T-90TK is an export variant of the Russian T-90 built for the Tarkhazian Land Forces. It features many of the modern systems of the original, with some capabilites limited or removed. having entered Tarkhazian Service in 2010, It has proven a cost-effective and highly reliable weapon in internal conflicts.
Although she looks great in almost any color, Leslie Anne's special color is blue. My girlfriend modified her newest blue dress with some black lace along the lower hem creating sort of a petticoat effect. She has done this with several of her dresses this year.

Luckily for hypercar manufacturers the 2216 and future seasons of the BLMS stated that innovation would be at the forefront of its request from the factory teams. The BLMS even introduced a closed-wheel unlimited class to the series; exclusive to factory teams that would race on a separate schedule from the regulated car classes. Organizers and sponsors hoped the newly formed class would not only spark a rivalry between manufactures but also ignite fierce competition, leading the constructors to innovate. For the 2216 unlimited season Cipher built the C1 LM, an evolutionary step for the C1 in nearly all aspects of performance.
The C1 LM is equipped with WonderGuard and CrystalGuard that were first introduced on the C1 and Ayvūir. The regenerating polymers heal body and glass components, and as an extension to these abilities Cipher created FusionCell; a transparent lacquer that is applied only to the edges of the body panels. When the LM is in motion FusionCell activates to allow the polymer on every panel gap and component junction surrounding the car to temporarily fuse together and harden; creating one seamless body. Eliminating paneling and crevasses in the upper half of the body drastically smoothens the air flowing on top the car and onto the massive rear spoiler. The main air intakes are nearly identical to the ones found on the 2214 C1 concept and nearly span the entire width of the car in order to absorb the copious amounts of air needed to feed the engine.
The AdaptiveAluminum used in the road C1 was a recently born technology and was limited to only basic functions in engine, turbo, and transmission components. In addition to having the same engine that can expand and contract, the C1 LM can now morph the piston heads between flat, dished, irregular, and domed shapes at will to better suit the performance demands of the driver. The protean turbochargers and exhaust tubing also receive an internal upgrade in the form of small helical sails (not unlike gun rifling) that can rise and fall; generating a stabilized and symmetrical flow of air when entering and exiting the combustion chamber. These simple modifications generate an additional 235 hp on top of the 1,265 hp from the flower-powered p-max C1 engine; for a monolithic 1,500 hp. The C1 LM also features a Callistine panel that Ferdinand prohibited for use on the road going C1. The lightweight photovoltaic sheet generates a tremendous amount of electricity (several times greater than conventional solar panels) and powers the electric motors on the LM with an additional 500 hp of Zeus’s fury, dismissing the need for a heavy kinetic energy recovery system to be installed.
Cipher has also developed AdaptiveAluminum components for the brakes. The brake calipers and pads on the C1 LM can grow to cover 3/4 of the brake disk. Expanding the caliper evenly distributes the eight pistons that also grow, creating an extremely large brake surface. The brake pads are constructed using a fusion of sintered AdaptiveAluminum, carbon, and ceramic compounds. The pad's performance and longevity is equal to that of the standard CFRC brakes equipped on the C1, but when expanded the stopping power is exponentially increased. These upgrades enable both a rapid reduction of speed allowing for a stop from 300-0 mph in 440 yds (482-0 km/h in 402 m) and the latest possible braking that allows for a greater velocity to be carried throughout corners.
The sheer energy generated by the protean brakes and motor severely affected handling. During testing, the LM continuously broke the adhesive bond between the tires and wheels of the street C1's set. In order to combat the dangerous tire-spin Cipher developed InfinityLacers; braided AdaptiveAluminum components on both the bead-seat of the rims and bead bundle of specifically manufactured tires. The smart-alloy braided components automatically interlock together (after an electric current is administered through a modified tire mount machine) effectively eliminating any tire slippage that might occur from the torque generated from braking or accelerating. The InfinityLacers offer a superior connection between rubber and rim over the tires bonded to the road C1's wheel with heavy-industry adhesive.
Dirt track racing began in the United States before World War I and became widespread during the 1920s and 1930s. Two different types of race cars dominated—open wheel racers in the Northeast and West and stock cars in the South. While open wheel race cars are purpose-built racing vehicles, stock cars (also known as fendered cars) can be either purpose-built race cars or street vehicles that have been modified to varying degrees.
Dirt track racing is the single most common form of auto racing in the United States. There are hundreds of local and regional racetracks throughout the nation; some estimates range as high as 1500. The sport is also popular in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Amtrak 90225, a former F40, turned into a non-powered control unit, was further modified for the ABC Good Morning America live broadcast from the rails. The roof was modified to include two fiberglass domes that housed the network's sattelite uplink gear. Soon after the broadcast, the unit would be brought back to its usual configuration and return to regular service.

I folded this great Macaque again,but this time I shaped the head details better,added the chest and rounded the body to add more volume to the model.
Folded from Elephant Hide paper size 35*35 cm.
shushu...or is she!
I wish her eyes could be like this in real life... been contemplating trying to modify her and I've even bought the epoxy putty!
here's the original pic to show what I mean about the eyes! i5.photobucket.com/albums/y187/Icchaeyo/ch-realeyes.jpg
"Göreme (Ancient Greek: Κόραμα, Kòrama), located among the "fairy chimney" rock formations, is a town in Cappadocia, a historical region of Turkey. It is in the Nevşehir Province in Central Anatolia and has a population of around 2,000 people. Former names of the town have been Korama, Matiana, Maccan or Machan, and Avcilar. When Göreme Valley nearby was designated an important tourist destination, a "center" for all tourism in Cappadocia, the name of the town was changed to Göreme for practical reasons. Among Göreme's historically important sites are Ortahane, Durmus Kadir, Yusuf Koc and Bezirhane churches, in addition to the richly decorated Tokali Kilise, the Apple Church, and a number of homes and pigeon houses carved straight into the rock formations in the town."

A trolley accumulator was designed to contain a series of batteries that provided an external, ground-based source of electric power (with a variety of voltages available) for an aircraft. It was typically used to start-up aircraft whose internal batteries were at best only marginally capable of the job.
Seen in the RAF Museum at Hendon, this particular hand-pulled example from the 1940s has been modified with a small petrol engine fitted on top to provide power for recharging the batteries.
I find it interesting that the RAF doesn't seem to have been able to find a set of matching tyres for this exhibit...
I got the set in a bulk lot late last year. It's quite a nice build but was way too skinny in some areas, so I bulked it up a bit and took off the rider seat and ball launcher.

I hate sticking bulky 1x1 LEGO clips on the backs of armor, they never match and always look out of place. The Brickarms monopod almost works perfectly by itself, but comes out a little too much for my liking. So I snipped it down a bit and am very happy with the outcome.
Actually, this Minolta A3 body was clean, but the lens was fogged up and in a pretty bad state. Of course, I tried to clean the lens and reduce the fog even a little, but it didn't get very clean. I thought that if it was backlit, the results would be terrible. This is the result in backlight.
Lego blocks are great to play with. As a child I had a couple tubs of those little interlocking blocks. This was a long time ago, before they had kits with custom parts to make very specific toys. Back then you had to use a lot of imagination and ingenuity to create things like an air plane, or pirate ship. It was great fun.
But eventually, I grew out of that kind of small scale building and my Lego blocks slowly went away. Lost, thrown away -- I was never sure what happened to them all, until now.
Somewhere out there in the Multiverse there is a Lego waste land. An entire planet just covered in millions upon millions of indestructible, interlocking, multishaped pieces of plastic. I know, because my last trip though the Multiverse Threshold took me to that world. And where there's a Lego land dump for pieces and parts, there's a graveyard for Lego land people. But just like Lego blocks that never break down in the dump, the Lego land people just keep walking long after they should have decomposed...
Strobist:
2 AB800s were used for the main lighting, each bounced off the walls to the right and left of the subject. Camera left strobe was fired at full power, and camera right strobe was fired at half power.
A Vivitar 285 HV was fired at full power modified by a bounce card attached to the strobe with a rubber band and place just to the left of the camera as fill light.
All strobes were triggered with a Phottex Ares RF trigger system.
