I don't paint really but decided yesterday to try gouache for the first time. I think I need better paper as this has begun to curl. (I don't know squat about paper either...lol) This is the base and even if its curling I think I'll finish it anyway. Tomorrow more details :o)

Pictured, the base exchange, United Kingdom's RAF Molesworth, early 1960s.
U.S. exchanges in the United Kingdom date back to World War I. Civilian agencies, such as the YMCA, operated the exchanges wherever U.S. forces were located in the UK.
The first exchange in the United Kingdom during World War II opened in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1942 for the first U.S. forces arriving on the continent. Openings of other post exchanges throughout England followed.
RAF Alconbury and RAF Molesworth were the last World War II-era airfields in the United Kingdom that were still actively in use and controlled by the U.S. Air Force.
On July 4, 1942 from Molesworth, the U.S. Army Air Force launched its first flights over Nazi-occupied territory.
Today, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service still operates stores at RAF Molesworth.

Acho que não são muitas de vocês que sabem, mas eu sempre roí as unhas, e não era pouco não. Roía unha, cutícula, pele e até sangrava... é, eu já fui assim.
Ano passado (2008) teve até um período que eu parei de roer as unhas e fazia com a manicure, mas durou pouco. Um mês depois voltei com o vício e foi assim até meados de julho desse ano, que foi quando eu conheci alguns blogs sobre unhas e quis tentar parar de roer, mas dessa vez eu quis aprender a fazer as unhas e consegui. Um tempo depois, novamente voltei com o vício, mas não estava feliz. Então encontrei para vender a tão falada base pró-crescimento da Colorama e decidi que precisava acabar de vez com esse vício, e comecei o tratamento sério.
Segunda-feira comecei a terceira semana do tratamento e mesmo que mínimo, já vejo resultado e fico feliz assim. Não é muita coisa, mas para quem tinha a unha da metade do tamanho que está, tá ótimo!
Não tirei fotos da primeira e segunda semanas porque não conseguia. Tenho uma câmera péssima (é uma samsung), mas tentei tanto essa semana que consegui. Agora pretendo postar o acompanhamento toda semana aqui.
Minha meta é, até dia 23/12 minhas unhas estarem compridas até onde o dedo acaba. Torçam para que eu consiga xD
Base usada: Pró-Crescimento, da Colorama

Langen Foundation Neuss, Germany
Main building by Tadao Ando
The Langen Foundation is located at the Raketenstation Hombroich, a former NATO base, in the midst of the idyllic landscape of the Hombroich cultural environment. Visitors enter through a cut-out in the semicircular concrete wall, opening up the view to the glass, steel and concrete building. A path, bordered by a row of cherry trees, guide visitors around the pond to the entrance on the longitudinal side of the building. The glass envelope, supported by steel girders, protects the perimeter around the 76 meter long, 10.8 meter wide and 6 meter high concrete core. Reflections in the glass skin and in the water of the shallow pond dissolve borders and communicate an impression of weightlessness. The ticket office and museum shop break through the concrete core and connect with the northern side of the glass envelope, where the border between inside and outside can be experienced along its entire length. The polished concrete floor is inlaid with turquoise illuminated strips. The building is composed of two architecturally distinct complexes: a long concrete structure within a glass envelope and, at a 45 degree angle, two parallel concrete wings buried six meters deep in the earth and protruding only 3.45 meters above it. A grand stairway between the two wings of the building leads back to ground level. The long and narrow (43 x 5.4 meters) exhibition room in the concrete core, reserved for the Langen Foundation Japanese collection, receives daylight through linear light rails worked into the ceiling. On the south side of building, between the concrete core and the glass envelope, the pathway descends slightly toward the mezzanine overlooking the 8 meter tall exhibition wings containing the Modern I and Modern II galleries. The two galleries, each 436 square meters, have identical dimensions but appear very different. In Modern I a concrete ramp takes up almost half of the space where as Modern II presents itself in pure size and monumentality. The two galleries receive daylight through central narrow skylights with adjustable slats. The Langen Foundation is a masterpiece composed of lines and a fascinating interplay between inside and outside, art and nature, massiveness and lightness. It is a constructed place that is not only an envelope for art but also exhibits itself.
The Hombroich Missile Base is part of the visionary project of collector Karl-Heinrich Müller to turn a "neglected corner of the earth" in North-Rhine Westphalia into a unique synthesis of art and nature. After the development of the Museum Insel Hombroich, he bought the 13 hectares of land of a former NATO base in 1994. Not marked on any map, this area served defence purposes and the storage of cruise missile warheads and Pershing rockets. In 1992/93 it was mothballed as a result of the disarmament agreements between the NATO states and the former USSR. The overall concept, developed by Karl-Heinrich Müller, Erwin Heerich, Oliver Kruse and Katsuhito Nishikawa between 1994 and 1995, was not to completely eradicate the history of the location but to provide it with a new face and purpose. Military elements like barbed wire fences, spotlight systems and bullet-proof glass were removed. The halls, hangars, bunker systems, earth berms and observation tower were preserved, renovated and, in part, redesigned. New buildings by Heerich and Nishikawa complemented the existing ensemble, as did sculptures by Heinz Baumüller, Mark di Suvero, and Eduardo Chillida, among others. Tadao Ando's big arch, today's entrance to the Langen Foundation, was realized in 1998/99 as one of the first buildings serving as a portal to the missile base.
Site area: 120,220 m2; Building area museum by Ando: 1,860 m2; Opening 2004.
My Blacktron Base, built March 2010 - My biggest moc since i came out from my dark ages - It started as a small outpost, but grew and grew, so that i had to stop the build because i run out of parts - If i ever manage to visit a convention i have to transfer it on a standart baseplate - I also tried to build some playable features and came out with a foldable entrance stairway, a Tower with a roof that can be opened and a foldable Ladder, the big canopie can be removed and there are several balconies to mount the weapons -
