These are all my WH40K miniatures I have done so far. I have about 8 of these guys left to paint. They are really fun to do. All were painted, put together, and based by me.

Discovery was the third Space Shuttle orbiter vehicle to fly in space. It entered service in 1984 and retired from spaceflight as the oldest and most accomplished orbiter, the champion of the shuttle fleet. Discovery flew on 39 Earth-orbital missions, spent a total of 365 days in space, and traveled almost 240 million kilometers (150 million miles)--more than the other orbiters. It shuttled 184 men and women into space and back, many of whom flew more than once, for a record-setting total crew count of 251.

 

Because Discovery flew every kind of mission the Space Shuttle was meant to fly, it embodies well the 30-year history of U.S. human spaceflight from 1981 to 2011. Named for renowned sailing ships of exploration, Discovery is preserved as intact as possible as it last flew in 2011 on the 133rd Space Shuttle mission.

 

NASA transferred Discovery to the Smithsonian in April 2012 after a delivery flight over the nation's capital.

blah. Haven't gotten around to working on this much, and I still have two other ships to shoot and upload. Any WIP feedback/suggestions would be appreciated =]

 

edit: sorry it's kinda blurry.

My space this week is a mess of creativity, some good some driving me crazy! I'll start with the crazy - I have been working on items for my shop for some time now, but it seems that as I get closer to actually putting them in the shop I am second guessing myself. Does anyone else have this problem? I love projects when I start them and as soon as their finished I am my own worst critic! I wanted to show you this pincushion I made ages ago (it's a biggie - so its almost impossible to lose), I would love it if you gave me some feedback whether or not you like it, what you might change or if I am being a very silly lady for thinking I should go back to the drawing board! Click here for larger photo of pincushion.

 

On a more positive note I am really loving making a granny a day - I've started making more than just one a day. I am afraid I may be a granny square making maniac. And today I am working on my first project from the Weekend Sewing book - guest slippers (except they are for me). Hope you all have a lovely week crafting your little hearts out!

scratch built model spaceship from the late 70's. This has a hanger bay in the front and guns on the bottom also. The dark spot about 3/4 toward the back is a tiny fighter that has crashed into a turret.

This image shows several dark storms confined to a region below 30

degrees south latitude in Saturn's atmosphere. This turbulent region has

produced quite a few storms during Cassini's approach to Saturn,

including some that have merged. A number of other interesting

smaller-scale atmospheric features are also becoming visible.

  

The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera on

May 11, 2004, from a distance of 26.4 million kilometers (16.4 million

miles) from Saturn through a filter centered at 750 nanometers. The image

scale is 157 kilometers (98 miles) per pixel. Contrast in the image was

enhanced to aid visibility.

  

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the

European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion

Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in

Pasadena, manages the Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA's Office of Space

Science, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras,

were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based

at the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.

The effects of the moon Prometheus create intricate formations in Saturn's

thin F ring.

  

The gravity of potato-shaped Prometheus (86 kilometers, or 53 miles

across) periodically creates streamer-channels in the F ring. See PIA10461 and

PIA10593 to learn more. To watch a movie of this process, see PIA08397.

  

This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 9

degrees above the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the

Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 26, 2009. The view was

acquired at a distance of approximately 922,000 kilometers (573,000 miles)

from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 27 degrees.

Image scale is 5 kilometers (3 miles) per pixel.

Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and

assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space

Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

Cold here today. I got the space heater going in the computer room with me while the rest of the house is cooold.
