A long lost cardboard creation has been recently discovered!
My mother was cleaning out her basement, going through some old boxes of mine when she found this gem. Star Trek fans might recall this ship model as the USS Prometheus from the Voyager episode "Message in a Bottle". I'm not exactly sure when this was built, but it is very likely the last space ship model that I had designed and constructed from cardboard. Not too bad actually, with all the curves and intricate shapes that need to fit together. Judging by the paint job, it looks like I never quite finished, but it was close.
It needs a little work, but I think I'm going to try and fix it up (needs a few repairs), replace those button snaps with magnets (not sure why I went with snaps in the first place) and then give it a new paint job with my airbrush. Should be a fun project.

This moon is 86 kilometers, or 53 miles across. North on Prometheus is up and rotated 8 degrees to the right. The enhanced version shows terrain illuminated by Saturn-shine.
The working most of Britain's enthusiasts went to see on Tuesday 9th of May.
Working the debut passenger service for the class, Direct Rail Services no. 88002 "Prometheus" leads the Northern Belle coach rake northwards along the Down Slow towards Lichfield Trent Valley on 1Z88, the London Euston-Carlisle VIP Launch Train for the class. One of the 88's diesel cousins 68022 "Resolution" can be seen on the rear.
Organised by UK Railtours, tickets for this service came in at over £190 per head!
Semiautomatic assassination rifle with silencer and foam-lined catcher. Middle part of trigger guard is removable for use with gloves. Scope is removable; reveals rails when taken off. Integrated backup irons necessitate splitting the rail to allow for the sightline. The pistol grip was raked enough to be comfortable for those used to older rifles and ergonomics were kept at a minimum to be less intrusive. Proved prone to jamming in the field due to catcher mechanism. The forward assist was a welcome addition following tests.

TK-625: "I don't think that's such a good idea..."

Each year the museum acquires or commissions a piece of contemporary leatherwork to the Waterer Spiers Collection, set up in 1977 in memory of the museum’s founders and intended to inspire, nurture and celebrate contemporary leathercrafting. One of the pieces proposed for this collection is the ‘Prometheus’ Box, made by Tim Meagher in 1987. It is a series of one-off boxes loosely based on Greek mythology. Meagher had been designing and making leather bags, belts and luggage with his wife, using traditional saddlery and harness techniques, but wanted to start using the leather in a more imaginative way, to start expressing ideas and feelings.
Prometheus est un film de science-fiction américano-britannique produit et réalisé par Ridley Scott, sorti en 2012. Il met en scène, dans les rôles principaux, Noomi Rapace (Elizabeth Shaw), Michael Fassbender (David) et Charlize Theron (Meredith Vickers). L'action se déroule à la fin du XXIe siècle : l'équipage du vaisseau Prometheus, appartenant à la société Weyland, du nom du milliardaire qui l'a créée, part sous les ordres de ce dernier explorer le satellite naturel d'une planète lointaine, indiqué sur des pictogrammes archéologiques, dans l'espoir d'obtenir des réponses sur les origines de l'humanité ; les membres de l'équipage auront à faire face à un péril qui pourrait menacer l'espèce humaine.
Ce film était prévu à l'origine en tant que préquelle directe d’Alien, le huitième passager (1979), le deuxième long métrage de Ridley Scott. Cependant, le scénario de Prometheus s'est au fur et à mesure éloigné de la saga Alien, même s'il s'inspire beaucoup de celle-ci et se déroule dans le même univers. Il explique notamment les origines du Xénomorphe. Il sera relié à la saga Alien par sa suite, Alien: Covenant, sortie en 2017.
Synopsis et détails
Une équipe d’explorateurs découvre un indice sur l’origine de l’humanité sur Terre. Cette découverte les entraîne dans un voyage fascinant jusqu’aux recoins les plus sombres de l’univers. Là-bas, un affrontement terrifiant qui décidera de l’avenir de l’humanité les attend.
Prometheus (/prəˈmiːθiəs/ prə-MEE-thee-əs) is a 2012 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof and starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green, and Charlize Theron. It is set in the late 21st century and centers on the crew of the spaceship Prometheus as it follows a star map discovered among the artifacts of several ancient Earth cultures. Seeking the origins of humanity, the crew arrives on a distant world and discovers a threat that could cause the extinction of the human species.
Development of the film began in the early 2000s as a fifth installment in the Alien franchise. Scott and director James Cameron developed ideas for a film that would serve as a prequel to Scott's 1979 science-fiction horror film Alien. By 2003, the development of Alien vs. Predator took precedence, and the project remained dormant until 2009 when Scott again showed interest. Spaihts wrote a script for a prequel to the events of the Alien films, but Scott opted for a different direction to avoid repeating cues from those films. In late 2010, Lindelof joined the project to rewrite Spaihts's script, and he and Scott developed a story that precedes the story of Alien but is not directly connected to that franchise. According to Scott, although the film shares "strands of Alien's DNA, so to speak", and takes place in the same universe, Prometheus explores its own mythology and ideas.
