The tiny bead at the base of this needle resembles a tiny drop of blood, suggesting that beadwork is a weapon. Niro sees the enactment of cultural tradition as a force for social change and beadwork as a tool for the future. The haunting faces in the background look similar to the ones in “The Guests”. This time however, they have been sourced from online pictures – each one representing a missing or murdered Indigenous woman.
British postcard, no. FA 228. Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon (Richard Donner, 1987).
American-Australian actor Mel Gibson (1956) became known worldwide thanks to the small-budgeted action film Mad Max (1979). He went on to star in such acclaimed films as Gallipoli (1981) and The Bounty (1984). In 1987, he became a superstar with the buddy cop action-comedy film series Lethal Weapon (1987-1998). As director of Braveheart (1995), he won both the Academy Award for best director and best film. Gibson also produced and directed The Passion of the Christ (2004) about the last phase of Jesus Christ's life on earth.
Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson was born in 1956 in Peekskill, New York, USA. He was the sixth of eleven children of Hutton Gibson, a railroad brakeman, and Anne Patricia (Reilly) Gibson. His mother was Irish, from County Longford, while his American-born father is of mostly Irish descent. His father moved the family from upstate New York to Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, in 1968 after winning as a contestant on the game show Jeopardy! The family settled in New South Wales, where Mel's paternal grandmother, contralto opera singer Eva Mylott, was born. After high school, Mel studied at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, performing at the National Institute of Dramatic Arts alongside future film thespians Judy Davis and Geoffrey Rush. Here, he starred opposite Judy Davis in a production of 'Romeo and Juliet'. After college, Mel had a few stints on stage and starred in TV shows. Eventually, he was chosen to star in the films Mad Max (George Miller, 1979) and Tim (Michael Pate, 1979), co-starring Piper Laurie. The small-budgeted Mad Max made him known worldwide, while Tim garnered him an award for Best Actor from the Australian Film Institute, the Australian equivalent to the Oscar. Gibson got a reputation as a serious, versatile actor. He was a part of the movement dubbed the 'Australian New Wave' by the press. They were a group of filmmakers and performers who emerged from Down Under at about the same time and found work in other parts of the world. Other members included actress Judy Davis and directors George Miller, Gillian Armstrong and Peter Weir.
Mel Gibson went on to star in the World War I drama Gallipoli (Peter Weir, 1981), which earned him a second award for Best Actor from the AFI. In 1980, he married Robyn Moore and had seven children. In 1984, Mel made his American debut in The Bounty (Roger Donaldson, 1984), which co-starred Anthony Hopkins. Then in 1987, Mel starred in what would become his signature series, Lethal Weapon (Richard Donner, 1987), in which he played Martin Riggs. In 1990, he took on the starring role in Hamlet (Franco Zeffirelli, 1990) with Glenn Close, which garnered him some critical praise. He also made the more endearing Forever Young (Steve Miner. 1992) with Jamie Lee Curtis and the somewhat disturbing The Man Without a Face (Mel Gibson, 1993). 1995 brought his most famous role as Sir William Wallace in Braveheart (Mel Gibson, 1995), for which he won two Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director. From there, he made such box office hits as Ransom (Ron Howard, 1996), Payback (Brian Helgeland, 1999) and The Patriot (Roland Emmerich, 2000). His later films include Signs (M. Night Shyamalan, 2002), and Edge of Darkness (Martin Campbell, 2010). For The Passion of the Christ (2004), which he directed, wrote and produced, he spent 25 million dollars of his own money. Back in 1992, he started doing research for the film that was not released until 2004. That year, he was the highest-paid celebrity with a reported $210,000,000 salary from his The Passion of the Christ (2004) profits, plus a potential $150,000,000 that is yet to be accounted for. The way Gibson portrayed the suffering of Christ caused however much controversy. He received further critical notice for his directorial work of the action-adventure film Apocalypto (2006), which is set in Mesoamerica during the early 16th century. He separated from his wife Robyn in June 2006. At the end of July 2006, Gibson was arrested for drunk driving in Malibu, California. During his arrest, he made derogatory comments about Jews and women. On 1 August 2006, he checked himself into a recovery program for alcohol abuse. He did three-year probation following the misdemeanour drunken driving arrest. Robyn finally filed for divorce in April 2009 but it wasn't finalised until December 2011, reportedly because it took them all that time to divide Gibson's estimated assets of $850 million. It is considered the biggest divorce payout in Hollywood history. In 2009, he made a first public appearance together with his girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva who was then three months pregnant with his daughter Lucia. The couple split in 2010. In 2014, he started a relationship with Rosalind Ross with whom he had his ninth child.

Got one of those old POTF2 line e-web blasters, it's a little out of scale for black series but it's big enough to be somekind of analog for like a .30 scal or a lighter tripod mounted machine gun
Roughly 70% of these weapons are just modified versions of ones in other pictures. I just changed the magazines to a different color based on a comment by Malcom Craig about Soren Robert's weapons.

The swords of Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf the Grey from “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” and “The Lord of the Rings”
Just like with my Sting replica, my Glamdring is an approximately life-size replica of the original movie prop and slides into a specially-fitted scabbard which can be worn on one’s belt-line. The sword is 47.6” long, 10” wide, and 1.88” thick, and the weapon weighs 0.78 lbs. I first completed it on January 14, 2013, three months after building Sting.
05.14.14. Birthday present for her boyfriend! I'm always excited when I get asked to do something I haven't done before. It challenges my creativity. I was faced with taking something as powerful as weapons and making it pretty. It was actually a lot of fun and I think this set came out so good!
Disclaimer: before anyone gets crazy about the guns, they were completely unloaded and safe. Her bf was there with all the proper locks and storage, and no amo at all.

7-day photo story challenge.
Vincent gave us a challenge to create a macabre photoplay, while feeding us one "chapter" of the story per day. Here is my take, inspired, no doubt, by an old Agatha Christie book I am currently reading.
Troopers of the 13th "Fleebnork" Company, armed with a sniper rifle, flamer and a minigun. BTW, the minigun design is completely copied from someone on BShelf and the jetpacks use Count Blockula's concepts.

Arcane magic automatic revolver blade.
A weapon forged from an ancient artifact aged far from mankind's existence. It fires special mana crystal cartridges filled with arcane magic found far below a diamond mine. Origin and composition unknown.
The Autoblade Revolver's main feature is its two folding blades attached underneath the barrel. Activated via lever positioned near the trigger, it ejects the safety bit and extends to its full length, switching the revolver into a double-tooth sword. The blades themselves have unparalleled sharpness, easily cutting through titanium armor with each slash and stab. When not in use, the user can press the lever again and the blade will retract and the safety bit will return to its original position
In addition to the double-tooth blade, the weapon can fire in full auto thanks to the slide like component automatically resetting the hammer after striking the primer of each mana bullet. This is achieved using some of the pressure generated from each cartridge as it moves through the barrel.
Despite all this, it is still considered a novelty weapon by many gunsmiths and militaries around the world. As such use has been limited to aristocratic and recreational shooters.
Awesome Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series in Edgecliff, East Sydney. I still love these cars even though they are pretty pointless in my opinion
