It looks as if this machine comes from the early industrial era. Clearly electro plating was an important process needed in the railway workshops. This photograph is designed to reflect the grunge and grime of the period.
This was the view of Chrome Hill as I had successfully descended the most treacherous bit of the Parkhouse ridge (mainly on my derriere). My Scarpa Manta boots had a coating of sticky mud on their Vibram soles, which meant staying upright on the slippy limestone quite impossible. There wasn't enough snow and ice for crampons, so I have now ordered some micro-spikes for situations like this in the future.
It was strange to see the Peak District's "Dragon Back Ridge" coated by snow and ice on the North faces, with the South sides being cleared by days of winter sun. I think the effect accentuates the shape of this wonderful reef feature. Hence the pun on "winter chrome-plating"!
It was quite an exhilarating little trek, in fact I found the Parkhouse descent quite embarrassing, having scaled many a peak in the Alps, I have never before had to slither around like a geriatric sloth on a descent from a hill. I'm just glad there were no others around to watch it!
You can see from this shot and another I will post at some point, how exposed this little ridge is. You certainly get a lot of excitement from this Hill and the view of Chrome is just great from here.
A gold plated RCA jack (phono jack). The gold plating provides corrosion resistance for a more reliable connection; its look is just an added benefit.

I made a crepe cake with chocolate crepes and homemade chocolate ricotta cheese and homemade whipped cream. I alternated the layers of whipped cream and ricotta and topped it with some black cherry compote.

Is this a vessel, a flagon or a chalice? See here: Click
Let's call it a bottle, then.
As (fun) part of a chemistry experiment, we silver-plated the inside of a small glass bottle (about 50 ml, which I had purchased at Woolworth for 75 Euro cents).
The chemical process:
In a solution of silver nitrate in water, the silver nitrate dissociates to silver ions (+) and nitrate ions (-).
Ammonia is added, which decomposes to ammonium ions and hydroxide. Silver ions and hydroxide ions combine to silver oxide and water. The silver oxide has a low solubility and precipitates.
Adding further ammonia, the precipitate is transformed into a silver diammine complex, which again dissolves in water.
Adding potassium hydroxide, then glucose reduces the ions to metallic silver, which is deposited on the interior surface of the glass bottle. In case you are worried about what happens to the glucose in the process: it turns into gluconic acid.
The glass vessel is shown before and after the interior silver plating.

Plating Geranium backs. I was culling the dead and wilted leaves and thought these were beautiful. If you buy the scented varieties they would be totally edible!

Plating up at the Madklubben dinner at Cail Bruich Restaurant in Glasgow on Monday evening. I am constantly amazed how so many people can work so well together in such a small space - Team work at its best!
So, after my recent build, I started my SHIP yesterday, which leaves me around ten days to plan build, etc. Well, here it is, with the concept which I came up with myself (I know: whoa!). In short, I'm making a pirate ship, a castle, an alien spaceship, and a touch of oriental style decorations, and most of all a SHIP! Got the hull towards the rear started. Less than sold on the white alien/barnacle armor plating - should I get rid of it?
Serving up the meat (there was a variety by the way) during Saturday night’s meat lovers delight at Locavore to Go in Ubud, Bali … seriously nice food with great service at a great price. All the meat is from their butchery right next door.
(bamboo and bamboo root, twining, mat plating) --- --- --- Nagakura Kenichi treats bamboo as a purely sculptural medium. He creates unconventional, organic forms, sometimes accented with pieces of found wood and coated with finishes of his own creation. Nagakura spent years learning traditional bamboo techniques from his grandfather before innovating his own style. Bamboo, says the artist, is an ideal material to express nature: “Bamboo can be either delicate like a spider web or solid as stone, thus embodying the natural cycles of the world.”*

one from last years visit to Chester zoo. I planned a series of abstract close ups; in my head I saw Giraffes, Zebras, Tigers etc, etc... but the Rhino's were the only ones willing to play ball :-)

The L-reF Seeker Mk II is an enhanced model of its predecessor.
Featuring an upgraded design, better armor plating, and enhanced mobility, the Seeker MK II offers excellent long range tactical support.
Equipped with an upgraded SR-0004 D-Type sniper rifle, featuring a longer muzzle, increased range, and improved firing stability, paired with the SC-HVNEYE01X, the Seeker MK II upgrade is a excellent addition to NEST's reFrame ranks.

Build notes:
Finally found time to upgrade this model. If memory serves me right, this was the first build using the new frame I designed and was mostly just experimenting with it but was never completely satisfied with it. The oriignal build focused on having excellent articulation (being able to go into a kneeled sniping position) but I didn't pay much attention to aesthetics as long as it was chunky. Looking back at it, the original Seeker was very clunky and didn't look like a formidable opponent on the battlegrounds.
This new version improves on that by streamlining the look and giving it these thigh shields that pop up when the Seeker MK II goes into sniping mode. The extra visor is now able to actually equip on the Seeker's eye (the old version was just static), and upgraded the sniper rifle to look a little more realistic.

a mecha build inspired by @cmaddison gamut
Colossus is designed to give cover and firepower support to the assault team. The plating were made of mithril-carbon, a durable and light metal that gives colossus the flexibility of movement and strong armor. The arm of colossus can be equipped with different weapon ranging from gatling bolt, rocket launchers, and melee arm.
"Geetaw" was a GTAW-74 welder droid with masculine programming that lived in Niima Outpost on the desert planet Jakku around thirty years after the Battle of Endor. As expert welding could turn a piece of salvage from unsaleable junk to a profitable find, he offered his services in Niima as a welder to scavengers in exchange for inert gas canisters, filler metals, good jokes, or a power recharge. He was equipped with a plasma arc welder torch, brown plating and a shielded faceplate.
