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.
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.
Photographed at the Amtrak Rensselaer shops in New York, with permission of course. Huge thanks to good friend Bob LaMay for the opportunity to join him at the shops for this.

CC Rainbow Game - Blue
At first glance I assumed the truck on the right was left in the parking lot a little too long and developed a flat tire. Why else would it be leaning so much? Well... closer inspection revealed that both of these trucks had their suspensions altered, in opposite directions. The white truck was lifted, and the blue truck was lowered. Apparently, each corner of the blue vehicle can be lowered independently from the other corners if so desired. The bed of the truck contains equipment needed for all this lowering and lifting activity. No doubt plenty of entertainment is provided by both of these trucks.
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.
Quilt in progress for yet another friend who has a little girl on the way. She likes pink and yellow and I wanted it to be happy and preppy, like she is.
I chose a Folksy Flannel for the back, so it will be nice and snugglie.
I used this tutorial from Film in the Fridge:

"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."

Equipped with a Pulsar Charger engine, this modified speeder bike is a favorite of Jin Efrit, captain of the Misfortune. Built using salvaged pieces from old M:Tron vehicles, this speeder is fast and maneuverable.
Dennis Meriel's NSX Cover, Houston, TX, 2011
We were told no rig shots for the cover and to keep it simple for the shoot and that's what we did.
Hue 'rotated' for bluish skies, and as a side-effect I've gone back to ginger!
I think I used an R72 or IR760 IR filter - the body is not IR converted, hence it's a long exposure. Infrared is difficult to focus, partly because it's dark, and partly because it focuses in a slightly different plane to visible light - having a body and lens that use contrast-detect for focus is best. A lot of lenses are not good for infrared - you get a bright low-contrast 'hotspot' in the image centre. This was shot with a Panasonic/Lumix 20mm, which for all its other faults (and they are many) is ok for infrared.
10 seconds at f4, 200 ISO. Tripod essential!
A modified N1-Starfighter was owned by Din Djarin following the destruction of the Razor Crest. Djarin and the mechanic Peli Motto worked together to build the N1-starfighter as a replacement.
My initial inspiration/approach was from the awesome work of Inthert (www.flickr.com/photos/143232344@N06/), and I've mantained only a couple of details of the original model. I've recreated all the internal structure and the external shape to obtain my personal model, keeping in mind to build a solid set that can be displayed (the instructions contain a simple and effective stand solution) but also played.
The final model can fit inside a minifigure (with the helmet) and the Grogu minifigure (not included into the part lists, you can choose your favourite one by catalog).
A big thanks to Universe Sandbox (universesandbox.com/), the "sky background" of mi image is created with that awesome software!

While I was searching the Hoop Love pool for a pattern, I came across this sea scene submitted by user bcampell_to: www.flickr.com/photos/briancampbell/5118571319/. When I showed it to my boyfriend, he thought it'd be funny to have the seagulls attack a picnic rather than a wave. Cue a few minutes search, when I found this pattern submitted by user rectangle: www.flickr.com/photos/rectangel/2314303997/
The major modifications include removing the car and bread from the picnic and the sea from the sea gulls. The picnic blanket is in back stitch, whereas the original called for running stitch. I added in some more grass to help cover the spot the car occupied and took out a few flowers and grass where they conflicted with the seagulls. I also only used three of the original five seagulls.
This is the first vintage pattern I've sewn, and it was quite fun! There is a lot of detached chain stitches in this piece, as well as a nod to me and my boyfriend (it's incredibly subtle.)
