Gerald Wingrove is a renown scale modeller for extremely high quality classic miniature cars. During the late 1960’s he was commissioned to produce patterns for a variety of toy cars by Mettoy the owners of the Corgi Toys brand. One of which was this Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupé. He completed the pattern in late 1969 and the Corgi Toys model was issued in April 1970.
This model was the last released with the Take-Off Wheels and Golden Jacks feature and was numbered 300. Made in Great Britain to 1:46th scale eventually 289,00 were produced. Corgi Toys issued this model in two bright vacuum plated lacquered finishes: green and red. Detailed interior and steering wheel were expected features in toy cars from this period and the former is represented in yellow plastic and the latter in gold painted metal. Play value is provided by an opening bonnet which is painted matt-black to add contrast to the bright body finish. Within the engine bay is a detailed plated engine and a black plastic component is used to represent the air filter, hoses and wiring. As this model represent the Targa Top Coupé there are two transparent yellow plastic panels which are removable. Also the real car had headlights that were retained in the front body panel and they came out only when the headlights were turned on. Again Corgi Toys replicated this feature and operating a lever under the base raised and lowered these lights. However, the major play value feature was one that was unique to Corgi Toys: Take-Off Wheels and Golden Jacks. This feature in itself was a miniature engineering marvel. The ability to remove and replace wheels easily together with supplying a diminutive working jacking system is an amazing achievement. Now we are at the baseplate this is painted matt-grey and two rear exhaust outlets are included in this casting. Finishing touches comprise jewelled headlights, ruby red taillights and the classic crossed flags were represented by transfers. All of this is truly wonderful but Gerald Wingrove left his mark by engraving ‘Stingray’ over superbly detailed air vents and CORVETTE is clearly highlighted into the rear panel.
As a note this model was fitted with two types of wheel hubs. The earlier hub has a raised centre section and the latter hub has an indented centre section. On the models illustrated the red car has raised centre wheel hubs and the green car has indented centre wheel hubs. This modification may have been the result of child safety as the raised centre hub can feel quiet sharp.

365 - Day 31 (12.02.10)
ONe month complete, 11 to go. And judging by the way things are heading, the next four months are going to be very heavy on filming.
To prepare for the coming flood of films, we held an open audition today for several parts. Almost all of the roles we were casting for have now been cast we are just awaiting confirmation from actors on certain roles.
The biggest film that we cast for today was feature length clone film 'AutONEmy' which now has a preliminary cast and a rough shooting date. Now, just to finish the script. I have one month, we aim to start filming on the 10th March.
Church to the Apostles (Kaiserslautern)
The Apostle church in Kaiserslautern is a Protestant church and is located on a rising land between Pfründner, Hospital, Kennel and Parisian street.
History
The church was built in 1897 according to plans by Ludwig Ritter von Stempel in neo-Romanesque style and in 1901 consecrated. After being seriously damaged in a bombing attack in 1944, it was rebuilt in simplified forms from 1952 to 1956, by doing so followed a complete redesign of the interior.
At the beginning of the 1960s, the two towers were restored. After a fire damage in the year 1991, was installed a chapel in the western wing during the following renovation.
External representation
The church appears as a central building on a floor plan in the form of a Greek cross. Above the crossing rises a squat octagonal tower, the cross wings are decorated with small towers. The gable front towards Parisian street is characterized by a large portal with stairs and a large rose window.
Interior to 1944
The interior until the damage in 1944 was designed in the Romanesque Revival style. Above the pulpit was a mosaic of glass and gold. The rose window showed a picture of Christ, the side windows, the twelve apostles. The round interior with high circulating galleries by a ribbed vault above the cross arms and a crossing-cupola towards the top was completed.
Interior after reconstruction
During the reconstruction of the church after detailed discussions was realized a modern interior design. The space under the dome was shaped uniformly, the dome as a modern, supported by slender columns element carried out and lowered as well as the height of the galleries reduced. The slightly elevated pulpit, altar and baptismal font of reddish-brown Hungarian marble were created by the Kaiserslautern Sculptor Richard Menges, the altar at the last minute being turned around and now showing the unadorned back to the community, to satisfy the reformed prohibition of images. The pulpit parapet shows relief images of the twelve apostles. The Steinmeyer organ in 1957 on the gallery behind the pulpit was built in. Since 1994, in the church room a cycle of abstract images of Kaiserslautern artist Erika Klos on Our Father ist to see. From the old equipment only the chimes along with the bell frame of iron have been preserved.
Bells
The chimes today form the only one of its kind in an evangelical church in Southwest Germany, dating back to the turn of the century and the melting escaping. The bells were cast in 1900 by the bell foundry Johann Georg Pfeifer in Kaiserslautern. They until the presence hang on an original iron belfry on straight yokes. The removal of the chimes during the First World War could be spared, but in World War II the two big bells for material purposes had to be delivered in 1942. The smallest bell was preserved during the war in the tower. In the night of the fire of 1944, it crashed into the worship space but remained intact. After the end of World War II, it was decided to look on the Hamburg Bell Cemetery for the two big ones. 1947, the two seized bells were recovered and transported back to Kaiserslautern. Since Christmas 1951, all 3 bells in the tower of the Church to the Apostles call again to worship. The largest bell with the strike note gis° is currently the largest preserved bell of the bell foundry Pfeifer and the second heaviest of the city of Kaiserslautern. The bells 2 and 3 strike every quarter of an hour and the great bell the full hours. According to the succession of ringing, all bells are chiming 10 minutes before the service begins as well as on Saturdays at 17:50 clock for the heralding of Sunday. The smallest bell rings for baptism. For Our Father chimes the medium-sized bell and rings each 30 minutes before the service. The big bell is responsible for the ringing of funerals.

Apostelkirche (Kaiserslautern)
Die Apostelkirche in Kaiserslautern ist eine evangelische Kirche und befindet sich auf einem ansteigenden Grundstück zwischen Pfründner-, Spital-, Kennel-, und Pariser Straße.
Geschichte
Die Kirche wurde ab 1897 nach den Plänen von Ludwig Ritter von Stempel in neoromanischem Stil erbaut und 1901 eingeweiht. Nach einer schweren Beschädigung durch einen Bombenangriff im Jahr 1944 wurde sie 1952–1956 in vereinfachten Formen wieder aufgebaut. Dabei erfolgte eine komplette Umgestaltung des Innenraumes.
Zu Beginn der 1960er Jahre wurden auch die beiden Türme wiederhergestellt. Nach einem Brandschaden 1991 wurde im Zuge der folgenden Renovierung eine Kapelle im westlichen Seitenflügel eingerichtet.
Äußere Darstellung
Die Kirche zeigt sich als Zentralbau über einem Grundriss in Form eines griechischen Kreuzes. Über der Vierung erhebt sich ein gedrungener, achteckiger Turm, die Kreuzflügel sind mit kleineren Türmen geschmückt. Die Giebelfront zur Pariser Straße ist durch ein großes Portal mit Treppe und eine riesige Fensterrose charakterisiert.
Innenraum bis 1944
Der Innenraum war bis zur Beschädigung 1944 im neoromanischen Stil gestaltet. Über der Kanzel befand sich ein Mosaik aus Glas und Gold. Die Fensterrose zeigte ein Christusbild, die Seitenfenster die zwölf Apostel. Der runde Innenraum mit hohen umlaufenden Emporen wurde durch ein Kreuzrippengewölbe über den Kreuzarmen und eine Vierungskuppel nach oben abgeschlossen.
Innenraum nach dem Wiederaufbau
Beim Wiederaufbau der Kirche wurde nach eingehenden Diskussionen eine moderne Innengestaltung verwirklicht. Der Raum unter der Kuppel wurde einheitlich geformt, die Kuppel als modernes, durch schlanke Säulen getragenes ausgeführt und tiefergelegt sowie die Höhe der Emporen verringert. Die leicht erhöhte Kanzel, Altar und Taufstein aus rötlich-braunem ungarischen Marmor wurden von dem Kaiserslauterer Bildhauer Richard Menges gestaltet, wobei der Altar in letzter Minute umgedreht wurde und nun mit der ungeschmückten Rückseite zur Gemeinde zeigt, um dem reformierten Bilderverbot Genüge zu tun. Die Kanzelbrüstung zeigt Reliefbilder der zwölf Apostel. Die Steinmeyer-Orgel wurde 1957 auf der Empore hinter der Kanzel eingebaut. Seit 1994 ist im Kirchenraum ein abstrakter Bilderzyklus der Kaiserslauterer Künstlerin Erika Klos zum Vater unser zu sehen. Von der alten Ausstattung sind nur das Geläute mitsamt dem Eisenglockenstuhl erhalten.
Glocken
Das Geläute bildet heute das einzige seiner Art in einer evangelischen Kirche in Südwestdeutschland, das aus der Jahrhundertwende stammt und der Einschmelzung entgangen ist. Die Glocken wurden im Jahr 1900 von der Glockengießerei Johann Georg Pfeifer in Kaiserslautern gegossen. Sie hängen bis heute an einem originalen Eisenglockenstuhl an geraden Jochen. Die Abnahme des Geläutes blieb im Ersten Weltkrieg erspart, doch im Zweiten Weltkrieg mussten die beiden großen Glocken zu Materialzwecken im Jahr 1942 abgeliefert werden. Die kleinste Glocke blieb während des Krieges im Turm erhalten. In der Brandnacht von 1944 stürzte sie in den Gottesdienstraum, blieb allerdings unversehrt. Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges beschloss man, auf dem Hamburger Glockenfriedhof nach den beiden großen zu suchen. 1947 wurden die beiden beschlagnahmten Glocken wiedergefunden und zurück nach Kaiserslautern transportiert. Seit Weihnachten 1951 rufen alle 3 Glocken im Turm der Apostelkirche wieder zu Gottesdiensten. Die größte Glocke mit dem Schlagton gis° ist die derzeit größte noch erhaltene Glocke der Glockengießerei Pfeifer und die zweitschwerste der Stadt Kaiserslautern. Die Glocken 2 und 3 schlagen die Viertelstunden und die große Glocke die vollen Stunden. Gemäß der Läuteordnung läuten alle Glocken 10 Minuten vor dem Gottesdienstbeginn sowie samstags um 17:50 Uhr zum Einläuten des Sonntags. Die kleinste Glocke läutet zur Taufe. Zum Vater unser erklingt die mittlere Glocke und läutet jeweils 30 Minuten vor dem Gottesdienst. Die große Glocke ist für das Läuten von Beerdigungen zuständig.

OK, not totally sharp, but I liked it because you can see the molten bronze pour down during casting
Was asked if I could recreate a drive yoke for this antique.
I would like to do some more with the air flow though. This is to be bronze. I've seen this part in cast iron as well, but having a shaft run through with no bearing is just weird, so bronze will be it's own bearing

If you remember we put in a small garden pond earlier this summer and stocked it with goldfish from the pet store. The gold fish all got Ich and died, which is common with pet store fish. Since my parents already have 2 ponds at their house that are stocked with goldfish that are healthy and naturalized to ponds, we decided to catch a couple of theirs for our pond. Mr Chiots got out my dad's casting net and netted us a few little fish.
As you know all too well, the only thing I love more than the casting of aluminum is the continuous casting of aluminum. I just wish I'd brought a floral wreath to lay at this site.

Jumping spiders aren't the only arachnids in the garden. I have seen this Deinopsis subrufa (Net-casting Spider) a few times now but never photographed it from below before. This shot is composed looking up from under the spider with the sky in the background. As the spider hadn't constructed it's net, I got an unobscured shot of the head, yay!
