Since Total Recall is up there as one of my favorite movies of all time, I decided to was well about time I made myself a Quaid minifigure. He also has an accompanying head turban/towel, a female head bomb, and a gun. I may post more photos of him later on, but wanted to post this one first. Everything here is hand painted by me.

Brief History of Quaid-e-Azam Library
The library building was constructed in the mid of 19th century during the British rule. It comprises two halls, the Lawrence Hall (65’x32’.5) and the Montgomery Hall (106’x46’). The Lawrence Hall was built in 1861-62 to commemorate Sir John Lawrence’s association with the Punjab. He was the first Lieutenant Governor of the Punjab, and subsequently Viceroy and Governor General of India. The Montgomery Hall was erected in 1866 from subscription of native Chiefs of the Punjab in honour of Sir Robert Montgomery. Both the halls are joined by a covered corridor. A commodious reading-room, leading into the corridor between the two halls, was lately constructed. The building was frequently used as an assembly room for public meetings and staging theatrical and musical performances. Mostly it was a meeting place for the foreign elite to while away their evenings in summer with iced drinks and in winter with a log-fire. Both Halls were under the charge of the Municipal Committee. The building was known as Old Gymkhana.
On 17th May, 1981 a committee was formed under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary, Punjab, to set up a model library in Bagh-e-Jinnah, Lahore. The renovation work for converting the old Gymkhana building was started immediately. The Governor of the Punjab Lt. Gen. Ghulam Jilani Khan frequently reviewed the arrangements made in connection with the establishment of this library. The President of Pakistan Gen. Mohammad Zia ul Haq visited Bagh-e-Jinnah to approve the plan on 24th October, 1981. The library was officially inaugurated by the President on 25th December, 1984 and was named as Quaid-e-Azam Library.
The original features of the old Gymkhana building was restored after extensive labour. With the provision of false ceiling, air-conditioning arrangements in some reading rooms, and marble flooring of the corridor, the library presents an attractive look after renovation.

I've been following Aunty Donna for many years now, so when they released their first Netflix show this year, I watched the hell out of it. Do yourself a favour and watch it if you haven't yet. It's honestly the best comedy show I've seen this year, plus it's got tonnes of great cameos, which I've represented on the bottom row here. Hope you enjoy!

A very valuable family treasure, this portrait of Mohammad Ali Jinnah, founder of Pakistan, was taken by my grandmother's grandfather, Syed Ahmad Ashraf. It was taken in Meerut at his house between late 1930's and early 1940's

Mazar-e-Quaid (Urdu: مزار قائد) or the National Mausoleum refers to the tomb of the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. It is an iconic symbol of Karachi throughout the world. The mausoleum, completed in the 1960s, is situated at the heart of the city.
The mausoleum is made of white Marble with curved Moorish arches and copper grills rest on an elevated 54 metre square platform. The cool inner sanctum reflects the green of a four-tiered crystal chandelier gifted by the people of China. Around the mausoleum there is a park fitted with strong beamed spot-lights which at night project light on the white mausoleum. The location is usually calm and tranquil which is significant considering that it is in the heart of one of the largest global megalopolises. The glowing tomb can be seen for miles at night. Liaqat Ali Khan, the first Prime Minister of Pakistan, and Jinnah's sister, Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah, Abdur Rab Nishtar and Nurul Amin are also buried besides Jinnah.
Official and military ceremonies take place here on special occasions, such as:
National commemoration days, especially Pakistan Day (23 March), Independence Day (14 August).
Birth and death anniversaries of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, 25 December and 11 September respectively, and
Birth (30 July) and death (8 July) anniversaries of Madar-e-Millat Fatima Jinnah.
Dignitaries and officials from foreign countries also visit this place. The Mazar-e-Quaid has been officially recognized as the National Mausoleum of the country.
Architecturally, the mausoleum is a modernized replica of the Ismail Samanid mausoleum (9th-10th century) in Bukhara, Central Asia. In addition to the general design, the mausoleum is clad with the same brick lattice work on the facade as that of the eleven-hundred-years old Persian original in Bukhara.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaid-e-Azam_House
The Quaid-e-Azam House and Museum, earlier known as the Flagstaff House, is located on the Fatima Jinnah Road in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan, and like almost all other houses on the road, was originally owned by a Parsi business tycoon.
Father of the Nation, Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, purchased the house on the eve of Independence and later Madar-i-Millat Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah lived for many years here.
The building was designed by architect Moses Somake. This probably is Somake's first known building which on one hand is modest and, on the other charming.
The bungalow, which was later designated as the Flagstaff House because of the residence of the General Officer Commanding, is situated at the most exclusive area of the Staff Lines. It is surprising that an architect little known at that time was asked to design this building.
The house was probably built in 1890. Somake had a habit of signing his buildings by inscribing his name in an obscure place that could be found with little effort. In the case of the Flagstaff House, it is etched on an inner face of the porch. Somake's work on the Flagstaff House was confined to the main double storey bungalow, while the annex was added to the premises at a later date. Somake lavished his attention on the façade facing the Bonus Road, which was the main thoroughfare at the time, probably due to a tight budget.
The frontage has a symmetrical arrangement, with two wings flanking the central porch that carries the projecting part of the verandah. Simple arcading, carved pilasters and sloping roofs using red clay tiles are the architectural ingredients of this attractive bungalow. An unusual element is the introduction of semi-circular balconies, which also appear in the City Courts Building built at a later date. Finely chiselled and carved features embellish the front façade, while the rest of the building is in a hammer-dressed masonry.
Quaid-i-Azam visited the Flagstaff House in 1943, liked it and showed interest in acquiring it. Although owned by a Parsi business magnate Sohrab Kavasji, it had been requisitioned as the residence of General Hind, GOC.
The deed of purchase in the name of "Mr Mohammed Ali Jinnah, Barrister-at-Law, Bombay" was registered in March 1944. After the partition, the bungalow was furnished with the belongings and furnishings of the Quaid that had been brought from his Delhi and Bombay residences, and was kept in readiness, to be occupied by him, possibly after his retirement.
After the death of the Father of the Nation in 1948, Fatima Jinnah lived in the house from 1948 to 1964. Due to prime location several commercial organisations were interested in acquiring the property not for conservation but for demolition and constructing high buildings. Besides a number of public sector companies also tried to acquire the premises to erect a new building thereon.
The bungalow lay neglected till 1985 when, as a result of the pleas by the Heritage Foundation, it was acquired by the Government of Pakistan; restored and declared a national monument the Quaid-i-Azam House Museum. It now houses furniture, relics, and other items of the Father of the Nation.
Remembering the father of the nation, Quaid-I-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

Minar-e-Pakistan is a tall monumental minaret in Iqbal Park Lahore, built in commemoration of the Lahore Resolution. The minaret reflects a blend of Mughal and modern architecture, and is constructed on the site where on March 23, 1940, seven years before the formation of Pakistan, the Muslim League passed the Pakistan Resolution (Qarardad-e-Pakistan), demanding the creation of Pakistan.[1] This was the first official declaration to establish a separate homeland for the Muslims living in the Indian Subcontinent.[2] Interestingly, the site is also where Nehru and the Indian National Congress declared Indian independence from Britain in 1929.

This is the first color photo I know of the great founder of Pakistan: Mohammad Ali Jinnah.
Ofcorse it's a Perfectlymadebirds creation rendered from an old black and white photo I recently stumble upon which you can see the original here: images.google.com/hosted/life/l?imgurl=66a14a198e7e6156&a... pakistani&prev=/images?q=sitting+pakistani&um=1&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en-us&sa=G
When I came across this old black and white photo I was stunned, it was the best photo to date I have seen of the founder. I knew that none existed of the great founder in color so I decided to create an ultra enhanced color version by hand based on this original 1947 photo by Photographer Margaret Bourke while Mohammad Ali Jinnah was seated in his chair.
I hope you enjoy this. It was very difficult to produce and labor intensive to produce the very first color photo of the great founder. I also added created the whole left third of the photo from scratch which did not exist either from the original. You can share this with colorization and enhancement restoration credit to me however please do not use this or modify it without permission.
