When I looked out my window, this is what I saw at my neighbor's house staring back at me. A neighborhood cat I've never seen before. My birdfeeder was about 10 feet in front of the cat so I guess that is why it was there.

After building the HGUC Messer, I had to build a mech in this colour scheme. I'm pretty proud of how the legs and weapons came out.

Advertised in "The Argus" newspaper on Saturday the 21st of April 1934, the "Amelita" flats on Brighton Road were described as being 'luxurious flats of four and five rooms with hot water supply and every labour saving device.'
The "Amelita" flats are a two storey complex of four flats in the Melbourne suburb of Balaclava. Designed in Streamline Moderne style, the building has large windows and an entranceway featuring original Art Deco doors, an Art Deco stairwell window and the name emblazoned in stylised lettering beneath the small front portico. The complex still has its original electrified buzzer board (albeit painted over now) for each flat to the left of the front doors.
After the Great War (1914 - 1918), higher costs of living and the "servant problem" made living in the grand mansions and villas built in the Victorian and Edwardian eras a far less practical and attractive option for both those looking for new housing, and those who lived in big houses. It was around this time, in answer to these problems, that flats and apartments began to replace some larger houses, and became fashionable to live in.
Flats like those found in the "Amelita" complex would have suited those of comfortable means who could afford to live in Balacalva, and dispense with the difficulties of keeping a large retinue of staff. With clean lines and large windows, it mirrored the prevailing uncluttered lines of architecture that came out of England after the war.

The main thoroughfare in the picture-postcard village of Polstead, Suffolk is simply called The Street; actually a short and fairly steep hill which runs in a roughly west-east direction from the village pond and St. Mary's church up to the village green and the Cock Inn.
These two attractive Suffolk Pink thatched cottages are about halfway up The Street on the north side, directly opposite Rosewood. Both date from the 18th century and have been Grade II listed since July 1980.
