I bought some sweet peas a few days ago , shelled them and put them into some clear gelatin, one layer at a time since they float.
The only interesting thing about this shot is the gelatin envelope around the pellet. Maybe I need to make another batch of just gelatin.
Cheers.
In the Monaco Grand-Prix Tunnel, the speed is limited (50 km/h) for you and me... but Formula 1 pilots reach here 300 km/h!
An officer works the computer in the Medford Police speed enforcement van along I-5 late at night. It's part of an ODOT/MPD work zone enforcement effort to slow drivers through the I-5 Medford Viaduct work zone. Highest speed recorded is 91 MPH in the 40 MPH work zone.
This is a series of photo's i took while in Montana I spotted a water sprinkler spraying and took some shots on different speed settings.....
"I like that one."
"That one? With the rust?"
"It'll clean up."
"And the mismatched engines, and the missing panels across most all of the thing?"
"Pretty sure the engines are a pair, just... yeah, it'll need some work. But you're looking at what it is, not what it could be."
"What I'm looking at is a deathtrap."
"Glass is always half empty with you, huh?"
"This glass is shattered and in pieces, lad. In fact, you'll note the lack of a cockpit canopy at all, glass or otherwise."
"Look, you've got to start somewhere. And why not here?"
"Hey, it's your decision in the end. Your credits. I just don't want it to be your firey death."
"You're all heart, old-timer. I think we can make it work."
"You think I can make it work. Still, I said I'd be your mechanic, so I guess I'd better prove I've still got the touch when it comes to racers."
"And I'll show you I can pilot them."
So this was a pretty quick build, it may well be that some kind of racing speeders will form the next display I do. I wanted to try a narrative of sorts with this, starting from a junkyard scrapper, and gradually improving and refining until we get something sleek and advanced.
In terms of the build itself I've tried to go as greebly as I can for exposed engine bits, and fresh off my ADU builds I've put those spoiler parts back to work as intakes. Nothing hugely complicated here, but I'm satisfied with the skeletal appearance and think that it came out alright. Plenty of room to iterate on this.
I was trying to keep it as small as possible, it's about 18ish studs wide and long, so hopefully I'll be able to fit builds of that/similar size into this year's SHIP, which I'm envisioning as something of a mobile home/workshop/garage such as one might find on a Star Wars-inspired racing circuit series.
(I think I just want to build something that looks like a LMH/LMdH prototype racer but in space. Honestly, the Ferrari 499P already looks like a spaceship that just happens to have wheels!)
Well, look at that! Another sunny winter day in Kirkland. I couldn't resist taking a mid-afternoon stroll around the building. It was just too nice to pass up fresh air and a little bit of warmth from the sun.

Another night out with the S90. Loving the colors, though the light sensitivity is a delicate issue

I don't like to fly. Before Monday, it was more than eight years since I had flown. It took a lot of energy and willpower to keep that plane in the air, but I did it. And flying has changed since I last took to the air. These newfangled TVs and mapquest on board. Amazing stuff. Knowing exactly where we were and how fast we were going was somewhere between excrutiating (at the start it was going way too slow) and comforting (checking in on the altitude every once in a while is a nice touch for the fearful flyer).

Just a nice walk thru the tunnel to find some food!
with this type of lighting...all we needed was a disco ball and we could have a dance party inside...what do you think??
More from the archives, this time 2013 at a corporate track day at Cadwell Park. Hopefully some fresh shots on Wednesday of this week, I'm starting to go stir crazy :-)
