“We will take it from here Police Chief Robert Richards. Tell the few men that you have to leave the area at once. This is our investigation now.”
“I’ll be honest with you, this all seems a little fishy. Refresh my memory. You’re with the -STATEMENT CENSORED-? I’ve never heard of such a government organization.”
Unmarked gray vans had arrived unexpectedly about an hour ago bringing with them numerous individuals; some outfitted with unusual biohazard gear which covered their figure from head to toe and concealed their faces, while the rest were all dressed in simple gray suits who began flashing badges and taking quick control over the crime scene that was Martel’s cabin. Chief Richards knew this was a very unorthodox situation but was seemingly outranked by these newcomers. The man he now spoke with clenched both fists slowly, creating a muffled squeak from black leather gloves which were unique to all the other barehanded agents belonging to this unheard of organization.
“And I in turn will be honest with you Police Chief Robert Richards. The examination of the events which have taken place here is far beyond that of the resources your department can offer. Do you find there to be a problem with our credentials?”
Chief Richards was going to reply with a simple rebuttal which would only have wasted time, for all of their paperwork did check out, but before a breath could be taken the agent in the gray suit and black gloves responded having barely finished his last sentence.
“I did not think so. Thank you for your cooperation.”
His head still spinning with questions, Chief Richards gathered his men and looked back at the scene in a contempt form of wonder as the gray clad organization swarmed the area photographing, examining, and in the end removing everything that was not nailed down from the cabin. Each van was quickly being filled in a controlled manner with books, jars, and some stranger items that made Chief Richards take a second glance, unsure of what he saw. Even simple furniture was not spared in this well arranged whirlwind of confiscation.

End of terrace, painted stone cladding. There is a hint of scone cladding in the wall which in parts looks quite original
If I had a do –over, I might have tried shaping the cladding with a heat gun and worked on ways to hide the zip ties – Such is life.

Tasteful grey stone cladding sandwich between pebbledash. The theme continues in the wall and doorsteps. Bay and tiled overhang are pure fantasy. Very very nice. close to the athletes' village. I'd rather stay here if I were a champion 1500 m runner, for instance. Much more cosy.
This is the Bridford Mews facade of 10 Weymouth St, which has recently been refurbished and extended. I've not enhaced these pictures at all in Photoshop.
The facade is completely different to anything I have ever seen, and I think I like its imagination, creativity and innovation. What do you think?

Presence of beds in garden indicates furnished let perhaps. The earliest documented house bearing stone cladding seen by me so far...1859 with fine house name tablet of the period. The manorial door and leaded light window panes along with the stone cladding is a welcome relief in what is quite a desert for this style of moderisation in London.

Usually found on the external roof coverings on some of Glasgow's historic buildings, this is actually on the staircase inside the Lighthouse in Glasgow (an exhibition venue). Love the colour of the bare copper vs the oxidised parts and this was a close up, taken with my Helios 44m adapted lens.
With the end of Summer approaching, we get the first Commander Class entry in the Transformer Siege line, Jetfire.
Up until this point, the figures have been, at most, glorified Voyager figures, clad in armour add-ons that add some bulk and size to the main figure (Leader Class), but not to a point where their $70 CAD MSRP was justified.
The Commander Class, naturally priced more than the Leader Class, is probably close to double the size of a Voyager, close to 13 inches in height, and is even larger than the old Ultra Class figures.
Jetfire is a name used for several characters over the years, and the one the Siege line refers to is, of course, the original G1 character. Originally introduced as a scientist friend of Starscream, Jetfire initially aligns himself with the Decepticons at Starscreams urging, only to defect later on due to.... well.. reasons I can't remember, providing the Autobots with much needed aerial support and a mode of mass troop transportation.
There have been, unsurprisingly, several official toys for this particular version of the character, but none of the releases have ever actually resembled his G1 cartoon aesthetic... until now.
And it is glorious.
Jetfire towers over all of his namesake releases, and a large portion of my collection, if I'm being honest, with the exception of exceptionally tall Leader releases of the past. To put things in perspective, Jetfire is only slightly shorter than any of the recent combiner sets from Hasbro.
Being one of the larger figures, my first concern was that Jetfire was some airy, hollow brick, like larger figures of the past, artificially made larger. I'm happy to say that while things aren't perfect, at least this didn't feel like some oversized dollar store release. The figure is nice and hefty, and the various cavities are used to hide bits and pieces needed for conversion into vehicle mode. There's also a nifty flip panel to swap from Autobot to Decepticon.
Articulation wise, Jetfire isn't going to blow your mind (it's really the Deluxe size figures that seem to be winning at this game), but it's decent for a mass release figure. You've got head swivel and tilt up, shoulders, upper arm, wrist, limited waist, knees, and ankle tilt along with futzable heels. Overall, I find that the limitations of the legs and feet allow for some decent posing, but nothing overly dramatic.
While not a point of articulation, but it's worth mentioning that one of the good things Hasbro/Takara did was engineer a ring that holds Jetfires weapon when the fist is close,and when it is opened, the ring conceals itself into the palm of the hand.
There is some excellent detailing of little mechanical details on the body of Jetfire, no doubt made possible due to the increased price point. Use of multiple colours of plastic is also a nice touch, again, probably due to the increased price point. Face sculpt is definitely, unsurprisingly, an homage to the G1 animation model
Love the blue of the jet canopy.
Paint wise, well Jetfire isn't exactly a very dynamic looking fellow, being predominately a giant white robot with some red/white here and there for accents. As far as I can tell, actual paint apps on the figure include the thighs, feet, back of lower leg, the Autobot sigil, the red lines on the wings, white patch on the backpack, the various paint apps on the face and battle mask. gun barrels, and paint on the chest armour. Overall, paint masking is actually pretty good, probably due to the use of a unified production line shared with Takara.
So effectively, Jetfire is the base white of the plastic. The paint apps, possibly due to use of unified production, are cleaner than in the past (as with all of Siege), with some minor masking quibbles on the back of the leg and the silver on the face.
The benefit, as it were, to this lack of paint, is that it's quite easy to see if there are any poor finishes on the actual plastic itself. Couldn't find any, really. Assembly was good with no major gaps. Joint strength actually is pretty good, with the exception of the hips. Quality of the plastic is.. well, it'll get the job done. At least it's not as flimsy as the pre-Siege stuff on larger figures.
Collectors of the Siege line will undoubtedly know that the gimmick this time around is the C.O.M.B.A.T. system, where you attach various weapons and armour pieces to dedicated hardpoints on the figure (each sold separately, of course). In the case of Jetfire, this kind of has been a way of life for the toy since Day One, where the original figure featured removable armour and weapons, a gimmick that was carried forward to pretty much every other G1 Jetfire toy, though in varying degrees.
The base Jetfire figure, sadly, has fixed red ankle pods and red jetpack, both of which were removable back in the day.But you do get a battle mask (homage to the G1 toy which did not have a face even close to that of the animation model), chest armour (as mentioned above), wrist guns, wing and jetpack mounted guns, and a double barreled gun that can split into two single barreled pieces. There are also two three-piece blast effects that can be used to imitate weapons fires or jet booster discharge.
These loose pieces can be assembled into a single package that is applied to vehicle mode to make it even more menacing in appearance.
Having gone through it, transformation into jet mode is actually fairly well thought out. As mentioned earlier on, the cavities of the body are used to store various components that make up the jet form, most notable being the true nosepiece of the jet and extension to the jetpack boosters. The only disappointing/funny part is the head basically gets shoved up the jetpack intact.
As with other Siege figures, you can definitely see that Hasbro/Takara has upped their engineering game.. or at least they have the budget to have such items made, including the addition of additional supports for the jet to keep it standing, as it were.
Addition of the blast effect and care package of death, as stated, do add to the aggressive appearance in this mode, and is definitely awesome to behold, though from a toy perspective I do miss the more all-around bulking up of some of the other G1 Jetfire toys.
Overall, articulation limitations are a bit disappointing, at least for me, but the strengths of this figure outweigh the weaknesses. It is G1 in appearance, decently armed, and more importantly, gigantic in size. Truly one of those characters that they finally got around to making a worthy toy of.
That's about it for now on this figure... why for now? Because now I get to put on some Reprolabels that I've been savings since the middle of July.
Here's hoping they turn out..
Skyclad Art on the Go
The naked person is recognized, or self realized, as a singular and unique incarnation, or facet of divinity. As this person, through ritualized nakedness, works toward becoming a spiritual paragon;
This time I took my tripod as I wandered around the Broley barn again on a hot day when I caught sight of this particular spot that had been clad with corrugated metal for protection from the weather, grin! I admit that I am still looking Broley's over to try to get my seeing ability untracked. Decisions! I may yet visit again even before the weather cools in the fall. I think that the skies have to turn better and the smoke clears first. That might be any day after June this year. Nobel physicists from N.C.A.R. have pointed out the complications of the ratio between record highs and record lows that never changed much up through the seventies even through the dust bowl. One scientist mentioned the evil words "Global Warming." I expect that "Romoney" and the righties have their own reasons why the high records are so badly balanced today. Fantasy no doubt. The 2010-11 result was supposedly 2.8 times over what ought to be an even ratio. Two N.C.A.R. scientists claim it is now 10:1, 11:1 or 13.5:1 imbalance. It chills my blood (if only something could). One scientist said: get ready regardless of what the politicians tell you! We've already burned more of New Mexico and Colorado than ever before and now Montana is going up and we here are sending "special" storms to you folks out east. If only putting more petroleum into our air would help, the righties, themselves could blow smoke into the air. Or perhaps the righties ought to limit their expertise to blowing smoke up you! I hope you liked the last storm we sent!
Confidence men like Boy George and Romoney won't give up on you, they will surely come back for more so I'd suggest keeping you hands in your own pockets. Michael Milken went to prison for his tricks but now Bane Capital change the name of the heist to hide it from the marks! Come to think of it, this cladding sure looks like the Mittster's Magic Underwhere.
This brings a thought of building economically to mind. I guess that if the thought of building well never comes to mind, you won't mind rebuilding again too much. Time to cover the Broley barn for a third time!
The end wall is of original yellowish brick, as next door. The classical forms around the door make this somewhat unexciting piece of cladding more interesting. Unusually the porch entrance has also been clad in stone. Sadly, the classical baluster motif has been excised from the tableau above the doorway.

Victorian Alpine Huts survey, for Parks Victoria April, May 1994.
Geoffrey Ritchie and his wife Antoinette (nee Aitken) moved from the Pt Fairy area to the Delatite Station near Mansfield in 1902, as one of five partners{ Stoney: 55; Carroll}. Ritchie and Arthur Phillips purchased the Wonnangatta property in 1914, employing James Barclay as the manager and still holding a share of the Delatite property{ ibid.}. They fattened cattle at Wonnangatta and drove them to market via the Howqua Valley. The Barclay murder of 1918 and a fall in cattle prices in the 1920s, forced them to sell{ ibid. ; Cabena: 169 notes Geoffrey Ritchie as holding Grazing Run F2 1914-1919 see Fig.3.5}. Geoffrey's son Robert, aided by Fred Fry, built this hut as a `fishing hut' at the Fourteen Mile Creek's junction with the Howqua River{ ibid.}. RG Ritchie wrote to the Forests Commission in August 1947 seeking permission to build a hut at the 14 Mile Creek junction with the Howqua, half way between the 8 Mile and Bindaree huts{ DCNR File 67/4511 9/2201}. Ritchie undertook to lock the hut and leave the key with the local forest officers for use in carrying out their duties. The hut was to be built of slabs and the chimney and fireplace of stone and or iron and the roof clad with corrugated iron. `My reason for building the hut is for the purpose of fishing'. Local forester, JC Wescott, recommended granting the permit given that Ritchie was a shire councillor, and a `very responsible and respected person in the district'. He and his friends in Mansfield desired a hut to live in during their fishing trips and as the hut was half way between existing huts on the patrol track along the Howqua it would also be useful to the Commission. The site was `fairly open' meaning that few trees would be felled in the process. Ritchie had provided a rough plan of the hut, showing a room 22 by 14 feet with a 2'6" by 6 feet fireplace recess at one end a table in the centre (5'x2'6") and 4 bunks at the other end, each 6'6" by 2'9". The two window openings shown would be shuttered. Approval was granted in October, allowing a quarter acre site beside the patrol track but noting that the occupancy could be revoked at any time, that all fire precautions were to be observed and that the key was to be left with the officer. Another fishing hut was built nearby some ten years later for D&J or Roy Bostock on the opposite side of the river at the Six Mile Creek junction, c1958{ HO2609}. Others followed. The hut was pictured in 1985, much as it is now but for the verandah which has been replaced since in a similar form{ Siseman (1985): 104}. There was also a 44 gallon drum positioned over the west end of the verandah, presumably holding water pumped from the river. The hut was refurbished in 1988 by unemployed youth from Wallangarra, under the supervision of founder, Ian Stapleton, who noted in 1993 that the hut had been looked after since by the public. Stapleton was keen to formalise his group's involvement with the ongoing maintenance of the hut, suggesting two work parties per year to take out rubbish{ DCNR file 09/93/78 no reply on file to Stapleton's letter}. DCNR ranger, David Hurley commented that Stapleton's work on the hut had been very good but that although the North East Trail Riding Club and Chris Stoney's riding groups had removed rubbish, it was still a problem. Mansfield DCNR Shane O'Brien noted in 1994 that the hut was regularly used by walkers, horsemen, fishermen and Timbertop students. It was in excellent condition. In the same year, the hut's owner, Robert Ritchie annotated his payment of rent arrears as follows: `..always wished to maintain link with the hut which is part of my past. I helped my father and Fred Fry build it in happier times..'. This hut was used in the recent (c1996) Working Dog television documentary: `Meanwhile Rob (Sitch) and Tom (Gleisner) were busy completing a six part comedy-travel series "A River Somewhere", shot on film in various locations around the world. Numerous overseas sales followed including a first for the team-a sale to the BBC. '
