Pullback shot from the gun store, upstairs in the back. Laundry baskets, brooms, mops and pickle crocks are upstairs in the front. Flint bought cannon fuse. I don't want to know why.
Pull back view for the setup of my MacroMonday photo of a scrap of paper with writing on it. This week's theme on flickr's MacroMonday pool is 'lamp'
We can modify light to our advantage. If this was lit with the camera's on board flash, you wouldn't see this lightly dented writing. Using the latest technology with some decades older technology I can rake the light across the surface of a small piece of paper. The 10 LED light by Sima is an HD Video Light that runs on two AAA batteries and has a dimmer switch. The LED's will last longer than the pc board inside it. I'll give an estimate of battery duration after I use it more.

[Middle English lampe, from Old French, from Latin lampas, from Greek, from lampein, to shine.]

Quneitra was once a bustling town in the Golan Heights and southwestern Syria's administrative capital with a population of 37,000. The word Quneitra derives from Qantara, or 'bridge', between Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine. Known for its abundant water resources, it has been continuously inhabited since the Stone Age. Over the millennia, many peoples, including Arameans, Assyrians, Caldeans, Persians, Greeks, and Arabs have occupied it. St. Paul, it is said, passed through Quneitra on his way from Damascus to Jerusalem.
In 1967, during the six-day war, Israel captured Quneitra. It then became a site of many battles but, except for a brief interlude, remained in Israeli hands until 1974, when a UN-brokered agreement led to an Israeli pullback. Before withdrawing, however, Quneitra was evacuated and systematically destroyed by the Israeli army (based on eyewitness accounts; UN General Assembly resolution 3240 in 1974 condemned Israel's role in its destruction. Israel disputes this account). Many prominent Western reporters, agreeing with the UN and Syrian version of events, saw this as nothing short of an act of wanton brutality — a whole town methodically ransacked, dynamited, and bulldozed.
Well in case anyone has been wondering why I haven't been posting any pics in nearly a month its because i've just returned from an amazing trip to Japan and Hong Kong. It was my first time i've ever visited the Far East, my planned 2020 tour was cancelled that year for obvious reasons....
Any one who has been to Japan will know it really is one of the most unique countries in the World where seemingly everyone is polite, respectful, proud of their customs and heritage yet are absolutely as modern as the hour and are collector crazy! That also includes diecast collecting where the choice available is staggering and with an extremely advantageous exchange rate also very cheap compared to the UK.
Obviously Tomica was high on my hit list but I did enjoy visiting stores which sell vending machine toys, another huge craze there though annoyingly I didn't come across too many dispensing toy cars. I did get fairly lucky at the Toyota Museum where I found this cute little 1/72 scale Toyota AE86.
Like all vending machine diecasts its constructed entirely of plastic but its accuracy and detailing are extremely credible for its low price point. Made by a company called SO-TA not only does it feature a pullback motor but flick a switch underneath and its front lights illuminate!
Mint and boxed, its box being a plastic egg shaped capsule.

Two SB-600's triggered by Nikon CLS. Everything was set on auto using matrix metering and the exposure came out OK. Used a lens hood to keep the rear quartering flash off the lens.
Set up a background, but ended up liking a shot taken a higher angle, so the BG isn't in the final image.
Increased the saturation a little and sharpened it. Otherwise not much post.
I used a drop of candlewax under each egg to keep it in position.

Darda (toy)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Darda is the name of a German toy car racing set (and related items) which was most popular in Europe and the USA throughout the '80s and '90s."
"The unique selling point of the sets was the special Darda Motor, invented by Helmut Darda in 1970, propelled the Matchbox/Hot Wheels-sized cars at speeds of up to 30 mph (50 km/h). The pullback motor was wound up by pressing down the rear of the car and rolling it forwards and backwards on its wheels. Whilst winding the car up the motor clicks and once fully wound the tone of clicks deepen to signify that it can be wound no more."

This truck is my 9th alternative model built out of LEGO Technic set 42106. It features pullback motor and engine with moving pistons. Building instructions will be available at www.buildinst.cz/en soon.
¡A la venta en Chile! Ya los había conseguido desde Inglaterra (ripituc.blogspot.com/2011/03/haima-3-en-143.html) pero ahora los vi en un kiosko de Av. 11 de Septiembre y no los pude dejar ahí.
Llama la atención el empaque, con frases como "Galant: Enjoy for first", o "Small and exquisite car pocket mini go well up to bridle the ultimate winner".
Son plásticos y a fricción. También han sido reportados en Holanda y Perú. Me encantaría saber si su fabricante también ha sacado otros modelos.

There are six versions of this which is from the first series, marked ©2008, with pull-back motors.
The second series had ten colours, were packed in smaller card boxes, and the vans had off-white cabs. The designs on the box bodies were less abstract than on this series.
Here is a link to my complete set of the second series: www.flickr.com/photos/adrianz-toyz/53371984637
