A NSAWC aggressor in splinter camo departs Boeing with full AB!
Franz and I are sporting trash bags over our gear as the rain comes down making for some pretty difficult shooting conditions.
The annual Guide Bridge reunion has been held, for the last few years, at The Corporation which doesn't sell real ale so the above happy band of brothers eventually migrate next door to here - The Boundary - for a decent pint!

NGC 5907 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 50 million light years from Earth. It has an anomalously low metallicity and few detectable giant stars, being apparently composed almost entirely of dwarf stars. It is a member of the NGC 5866 Group.
NGC 5907 has long been considered a prototypical example of a warped spiral in relative isolation. Then in 2006, an international team of astronomers announced the presence of an extended tidal stream surrounding the galaxy that challenges this picture and suggests the gravitational perturbations induced by the stream progenitor may be the cause for the warp.
NGC 5907 is also known at the Knife Edge or Splinter galaxy.
The galaxy was discovered in 1788 by William Herschel. Supernova 1940A was in this galaxy. (Wiki)

I know this sprinter waited for the opportunity to jam itself under a nail, or deep into a finger, or the palm of a hand. Once photographed it was removed. Gone forever. Revenge is best served in any way possible ðŸ˜
Here's April O'Neil from the recent TMNT reboot, with a teeny Beast Boy and a teeny Starfire. The latter two's Mom is Raven, just out of shot.
Another example of the sort of shot I like to find, but didn't feel comfortable about taking under last year's photo policy. The wall alongside the staircase was just a good place to sit near the end of a long day. When April saw the kids' interest in her Donatello, of course she let them play with it. It was about as cute as cute gets.
This scene illustrates what I love about modern cons: they're multigenerational. It's not just the same group of aging fans. You see people in their Fifties and even Sixties, all the way down to yoots like these.
Better late than never, huh? I wasn't planning on building any Vic Vipers this year(seeing as the ones I built last year didn't turn out so well), but I did anyway. I think these are far better than my last attempt. What do you think?
The Slplinter 453 S was inspired by the Plymouth Prowler. This Hot Rod is powerd by a 3.5 liter V6 producing 453 horsepower. It is available with or with out a front wing. It will do 0-60 in 4.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 165 MPH!
This is a remake of a much older LDD MOC of mine that was made in 2008. This new car has been upgraded to the Speed Champions style wheels, and the wheel base has been lengthend by 1 stud over the original model. New to this model is also the front wing. I experimented with several front bumper designs but this one looked the best. I also moved the front wing back by 1 stud from the last design, as it made the car to long and it looks better this way. It is buildable in yellow, black, blue, red and white.
I started to whittle alone one fall day when my sweetheart was far away, and the kids were all out of the house. I shaved deep gouges into a little branch, feeling through the knots, finding memories like splinters.

Of course, where there's a jousting exhibition, there's going to be some controlled mayhem. I previously showed you some of the earlier face-offs, but for these shots, I was using a wider-angle lens to capture more of the action at once.
Me, my camera, and everything else are sticky with Sprite and smell like coffee beans, and something made my hand itchy, but I have absolutely nothing to complain about. It's just all part of being a photographer. :]
Oh, I think I got a sliver too. :p
Named for its splintered legs and lack of feet. This Assault Cores (A.C.) preferential mode of transit and combat is in the skies due to an increase of mobility; however, the Splinter Z02 is also a capable ground assault unit. His equipment consists of a wrist mounted laser, which doubles as a laser sword in close combat and a high impact deflector shield on the opposite wrist. Splinter Z02 isn’t the toughest or the most lethal A.C., but he’s probably the quickest and most agile making him an ideal matche against heavier armored A.C.’s. He can fly circles around them and before they’ve even managed a lock-on, he’ll have come in for a surgical strike to the power relays, rendering them defenseless.
This is another shot of that little beast that I showed you yesterday. This one, honestly, isn't quite as good as the last one, but this slightly out of focus shot is one of the clearest shots I have of the full length of the spider. I really wanted to show off this spider's markings but it was quite the difficult task. You see, the spider kept flying away using its web-sail. Don't forget, this one was really tiny. You'll have a sense of scale in later shots.
