Cher
Noel Cruz is one of the most versatile & distinguished repaint artists in the doll community. He is most recognized for his character & celebrity based dolls due to their uncanny resemblance to the people they portray. His dolls are derived from several models like Gene, Tyler, Sydney, etc, by various doll-makers such as Robert Tonner & Franklin Mint. His repaints as well as his portraits are done with intricate detail to the point of being naturally lifelike in essence. Highly regarded among collectors and artists alike, Noel attempts to raise the bar and bring a fresh take to the common mass produced doll with every face he paints. Noel's specialty is with one of a kind repaints. The beauty of repaints is that almost no two are exactly alike just as no two artists are alike.

This versatile pullover is VERY easy and rewarding knitting on circular and straight needles. Start right in at the neck with the mock cable, a great cable that is quick to learn and continue down to the cuffs, all in one piece. The Roll neck version is equally attractive for a more informal look. The pattern ranges from size 2 to 54 inches so you may want to make one for everyone in the family!

Some background:
The JGSF’s Type 01 “Shin-Hei” military Labor was a derivative of the highly successful civil HL-98 “Hercules 21” construction labor manufactured by Hishii Heavy Industries, which itself was a thorough development of the HL-97 “Bulldog”. Following an accident with a "Bulldog'' in 1998 the new model adopted an electronically controlled suspension, auto speed control, and a canopy system that eliminated the vibration, noise, and poor riding comfort that were the weaknesses of early two-legged Labors. Another novelty was the HL-98’s completely sealed cockpit with VR view of the surroundings for the pilot which offered highly improved crew protection and comfort and also allowed operations in potentially hazardous environment.
With these upgrades the HL-98 became the industrial standard for 2nd generation Labors, being one of the company's best-selling products. This machine was furthermore a priority product into which all of Hishii's state-of-the-art technology was poured into, and “Hercules” became a household name for construction Labors in the late Nineties. There was plenty of consideration for the user in all aspects, such as the reshaped cockpit with an innovative virtual reality interface that made cabin windows obsolete, what also improved driver protection. In addition to the electrification of the actuators, which was a typical feature of the same generation Labors, the battery used a nickel-metal hydride system, which was later followed by the third-generation lithium-ion system. Of course, the reliability and price/performance ratio that Hishii fans always insisted on were excellent, and even today, some say that it is "The best in terms of ease of use at the field level.''
Hishii's typical simplicity and robustness, with attention to safety and security, was what made the HL-98 machine a hit on the civil Labor market, and its versatility quickly drew attention of the Japanese Self Defense Ground Forces. At that time the JGSDF was looking for a light to medium multi-purpose Labor that could be used for both construction and logistics (primarily for engineer/pioneering units) as well as for armed frontline use, in a secondary role. In service it would partly replace the 1st generation AL-97 Atlas and AL-97B-var Hannibal Labors, being lighter, easier to transport and more economical to operate and maintain.
With its robust design and relatively compact dimensions the HL-98 offered a very good basis for further developments and within only two years Hishii Heavy Industries presented the so-called “JGSDF Type 01”, baptized “Shin-Hei” (“First/glorious warrior”). The Shin-Hei strongly resembled the commercial HL-98, sharing its framework and many actuators, but the mechanical systems were upgraded to military spec to allow generally high performance and endurance. Most obvious changes included more complex, hand-like manipulators, so that the Shin-Hei could operate tools and hand-held weapons. A multi-sensor boom (visual, audio, radiation, and atmospheric analysis) was added on the left shoulder as well as a LIDAR projector/receiver on the “forehead”, which offered a wide range of tactical uses and added full all-weather operation ability. The system allowed navigation even in total darkness, exact range measurement and three-dimensional analysis of surrounding details. A further use was motion detection (for extended watch duties), and the LIDAR’s laser beam could furthermore be concentrated to illuminate targets at up to 4.000 m range, either for laser-guided missiles which the Shin-Hei could carry and deploy (see below), or for ordnance that had been launched from 3rd parties like guided artillery shells or laser-guided bombs and missiles dropped from airborne platforms.
Although it had, due to being designed as a multi-purpose Labor, inferior firepower to its predecessor, the Atlas series, the Type 01 was fully capable of dealing with armored vehicles and infantry-level forces. On the right shoulder the Shin-Hei featured a fully stabilized articulated hardpoint that covered a conical area of +/- 45° in both horizontal and vertical planes in front of the torso, which could be rotated by 360°. This actuated pylon could accept several external weapons or tools. This included a sextuple launcher for laser-guided LMAT anti-tank missiles, a smoke grenade mortar with eighteen rounds, a belt-fed 25 mm rapid fire cannon with an external drum magazine against soft but also hardened targets, or a 40 mm grenade launcher, also outfitted with a drum magazine. Instead of weapons the hardpoint could also hold a powerful white/IR searchlight, an IR smoke screen generator, or a grapple cannon with an attached carbon-fiber cable.
Handheld weapons from the JGSDF’s Labor weapon arsenal could be deployed by the Type 01, too, ranging from a long-barreled 40mm rapid-fire machine gun over a heavy anti-labor bazooka to a short combat knife. For riot control the Shin-Hei could furthermore use a machine pistol-type portable firearm, which looked like a submachine gun, capable of firing standard rounds but also non-lethal rubber frag bullets or flechette ammunition against soft targets.
Less visible upgrades included water-, heat- and ABC-insulation for the cockpit in front torso (together with an air supply for 48 hours of operation) and the Labor’s fiber-reinforced plastic and aluminum shell was beefed-up for military operations with composite armor against machine cannon fire of up to 30mm caliber, and optional reactive armor tiles that protected against even larger caliber shells.
Three prototypes were built and the Japanese government ordered 99 production models, which entered service with the JGSDF Amphibious Rapid Deployment Brigade in 2001 but was also adopted by three JGSDF’s pioneer units.

The kit and its assembly:
Some time ago I got my hands on a “reasonably priced” Patlabor IP kit set from Good Smile Company/Moderoid. The company created molds/kits for a wide range of Labors that appear in the original TV series and the movies, thankfully in the old Bandai kits’ rather esoteric 1:60 scale. This range also included a lot of civil Labors, which were formerly only available as dubious vinyl kits. The kit set I got was the HL-98 “Hercules” and ASV 99 “Boxer” combo, two civil construction Labors that shortly appear in supporting roles in the early Nineties movies. I did not have concrete plans for the kits upon purchase, but one of them would certainly become/remain a commercial/civil vehicle – and that will be the Boxer, due to its glazed cockpit. The Hercules Labor looked rather aggressive (at least to me, a little like a small brother of the menacing Phantom robot), and I rather thought that it would be better suited as a police or even military vehicle.
I eventually went for the latter concept; my build/conversion would more or less fall into the timeframe of the rather realistic and politically-heavy Patlabor 2 movie, around 2002, when Labors had, after teething troubles, become a more common sight and fully integrated into public services. Therefore, the HL-98 would become a “classic” JGSDF vehicle, not an exotic prototype anymore, reflected in its equipment/mods and the livery.
A word about the kit…. After initial enthusiasm I was a bit disappointed by the HL-98 kit, though. While it looks flashy and crisp in the box, molded in a peach orange tone with some dark grey details on alternative sprues (that are shared with the Boxer, beware not to throw them away!), the kit revealed the designers’ niggardliness. First of all the kit had been designed to be a rather simple snap-fit model. This is per se not a bad thing, many recent Bandai mecha kits are designed this way to appeal to newbie modelers who can put the model together, put stickers on it, and have a functional action figure within 15 minutes. However, Bandai’s designers still have the advanced modeler in mind and typically offer an alternative water slide decal sheet, and the kit is designed to be built in segments that can be built and painted separately, to be assembled in a final step, e. g. thanks to vinyl caps and clever detail solutions that might require one or two parts more, but that pays out elsewhere.
The Good Smile Company kit(s) lacks this thought altogether, and the number of parts has been reduced to a point that some parts, which would normally require 2 halves, have been molded and cast with “holes”. This might not be an issue, if this would remain invisible – but it isn’t and that’s really disappointing for such a “modern” kit! For instance, the undersides of the feet or of the hips are just “hollow”. Additionally, where a Bandai kit would offer a small, flexible vinyl cap in a joint, half of that joint is in the HL-98’s case completely molded in an ABS-esque material that is quite soft and poorly accepts any paint – the toy aspect seemed to have priority during the molds’ design process! Sure, you can work with this basis, but I feel painfully reminded of the early IP robot kits from the Eighties which did not offer any vinyl caps at all and a very cumbersome, not well thought-through matryoshka layout for arms, legs and torso, so that building separate modules and assembling them as a final step was impossible or required thorough mods.
Beyond these fundamental issues the kit went together quite well. The IP material is solid and thick, but many openings had to be painted before assembly to hide the material’s orange base color. Fit is also not too god, at least for such a modern mold – while the designers tried to hide part seams in natural panel lines, those seams that remain visible are very prominent and require PSR.
Most of my mods went onto the upper torso, including a sensor boom from a Patlabor Brocken on the left shoulder, the prominent LIDAR fairing (from a Bandai Patlabor Ingram Unit 3’s head) or the shoulder gun (from the scrap box, from a ruined 1:144 Run-Valam mecha, plus a drum magazine scratched from leftover Patlabor Brocken parts).
The “mitten”-style hands were also procured from a Bandai Brocken kit, replacing the HL-98’s original pincer-like three- and four-finger manipulators. To emphasize the military aspect, I added reactive armor tiles to the front and the shoulders, cut from 1mm styrene sheet. They beef up the look and add a military touch to the Labor/mecha.
Painting and markings:
A very dry and truthful replication of the typical JGSDF tank/vehicle livery in Dark Green/Dark Earth, and for this purpose I procured the respective authentic tones/paints from Tamiya, namely YF-72 and -73. However, these appear rather pale for what they are supposed to depict? IMHO, the tones rather remind of early WWII RAF Dark Earth and Dark Green (or even British Army Bronze Green) than those Tamiya suggests? Esp. the green is very greyish and close to the German RAL 7009 (Grüngrau), while the brown is very similar to FS 30118 (from the USAF SEA scheme). Dubious, maybe Tamiya’s engineers tried to integrate scale effects?
However, I gave the Tamiya paints a try and eventually stuck to them, even though the contrast between the green and the brown is surprisingly low. I considered adding black contrast stripes here and there (as applied to JGSDF AH-1Fs) but refrained from that when the Labor looked quite good in the basic two-tone camouflage. The pattern was improvised, an attempt to recreate the typical wide-striped JGSDF vehicle camouflage on a humanoid shape.
Once the basic colors had been applied, I gave the model an overall washing with thinned dark brown acrylic artist paint, to emphasize surface details and somewhat darken the rather pale tones, and some post-shading with slightly lighter basic tones (Revell 67 and 87) for weathering and a less uniform look. Decals/markings came next and were improvised with material from 1:72 JGSDF tanks and a Hobby Boss AH-1. After that the whole model was dry-brushed with khaki drab and light grey (Humbrol 72 and 64, respectively) to emphasize details and edges.
An overall coat with matt acrylic varnish followed. The lights around the hull were created with chromatic PET foil, the LIDAR on the forehead was painted glossy black to simulate a translucent fairing for the laser emitter. As a final step the model received a thorough weathering/dusting with watercolors and mineral pigments, esp. around the lower regions of the model but also on the upper surfaces, simulating accumulated dust and mud.
A conversion project that took a while to materialize, due to the inherent problems caused by the kit’s design as a highly simplified snap-fit kit. However, the “militarization” of the HL-98 worked well, and with relatively simple means – it looks quite purposeful now. I just wonder about the Tamiya paints, which are supposed to depict authentic JGSDF tones (I cross-checked that with Tamiya’s JGSDF tank kits like the Type 10 – the instructions recommend FY 72 and 73, too, or their rattle can alternatives). But esp. the green looks very pale and faded, I am not sold on it, even though I eventually stuck with them, and the Labor does not look bad with the low-contrast camouflage.
Shawn Hash, the owner of Tangent Outfitters got together with Luke Hopkins, the Stride Standup Paddleboard owner and designer and the two of them came up with a whole new way to go hunting.
Shawn has proven the versatility of the Stride Airlite BC. BC stands for Blast and Cast...or hunting and fishing.
What makes the Airlite BC a new craft of choice for hunters and fisherman is because of the versatility of the platform design, the attachments for the gun bag, rod holder, kayak seat, the low profile design as a sneak boat, and the incredible innovation of it's super ridge and super durable inflatable technology.
