The Halcyon class frigate was designed to counter the increasingly fast warships of Humanity's enemies. A significant portion of the ship was used for the reactor and engines, capable of pushing the Halcyon-class to almost unprecedented speeds, both at sublight and FTL.Additionally, it featured 2 massive coilguns at the front, and a number of smaller cannons.
More fun with those octagonal parts.

hi Watercolorists,
A glorious night like tonight reminds me that each of you see your surroundings as paintings. You see as artists. This thrills me. All the hard work you do to master watercolor is terrific. But seeing as artists- that is the portable and intimately individual gift. I know you have always done so in various disciplines- but I am just talking about painting for now. To paint your view of the world makes it all the more keenly felt. It doesn't mean much if we see but never try to express how we feel about it. Which becomes evident in the process of doing. Those of us who try to paint what we see with as much attention as we can muster tap the creative force- and what better place is there to be?
Our Wednesday class moved from a loud intersection (hello, summer!) into Madison Square Park where the light danced on the flags of Shake Shake, buildings, Tai Chi class, strollers, sitters and dogs. Centered in a kaleidoscopic spiral of shifting sunlit surfaces, we struggled with way too much information. Even in a busy environment,to focus on simple forms and compositions strengthens our pieces. Painting outdoors is a powerful exercise. It takes practice to select a portion of the information that is seen to present something that fits comfortably on the page. It requires a series of decisions. What to pay attention to and paint- and what to let go of. Editing- the real rigor of making art. Better a series of simple studies than a cluttered tumble on the sheet, which is what I did that night - tumble! Oh, well!
Saturday's class worked with arrangements of peonies, small roses and a little fern-filled pot that presented the challenge of angled planes. It was a good class, with important strides made. Each of you did beautiful work, and pushed through challenging passages to more sophisticated levels. I wish I had a photo record of your progress from the beginning of our work together. I have to mention Janet's big step. Janet, who after weeks of quick strokes and assessments which made nice freshly graphic pieces, sunk into her subjects with a kind of tender regard, and did some marvelously deep work. Beautiful to see.
Some days are easier than others, right? You gotta be in it to win it!
Here is my little peony study - not much, but still - the idea of a peony. Great to be with you all.
Brush Class 47/4 2,580 hp Co-Co No.47 839 Pegasus (Ex-47 621; 47 136; D1728) (ex-Pride of Saltley; RAF Valley; Royal County of Berkshire) of Riviera Trains in their blue livery paused at Kensington Olympia for a crew change, 10/09.
Someone call 9-1-1...my heart's been STOLEN!!! I know I had it when I stopped by the local zoo but it was stolen while I watched these precious Muscovy ducklings...LOL These baby dolls really made my day! : )
An unidentified Class 45 pauses at Exeter St Davids before heading North. It looks like the Steam Heat Boiler is in use judging by a small escape of vapour. A typical SW-NW/NE Express of the time that I made regular use of, to and from University in Exeter to my home in Stroud. I was always pleased to see a Peak on the front, there was someting reassuringly solid and reliable about them. Class 47's were just too common whilst with the Class 50's there was a chance of a storming run but also of a failure or a below par performance.
All much superior to the Voyagers that I see and occasionally use these days; uncomfortable, overcrowded and smelly if you're anywhere near the toilet facilities.
