First, I would like to credit Ken Mizuno, who designed a simple variation of a Mekong catfish from a fish base. It's a very simple model, but it does capture the essence of the creature's large mouth and stocky body. It also has a friction lock to make the mouth, which I coincidentally also used to give this model a closed mouth and belly. I would also like to credit 涂开明 for the tail technique he used for his deep-sea hatchetfish. I used his technique to make the tail for this model.
When I first approached this model, I had no idea how to begin to make the head and stocky body. I thought I would have to make a complex CP just to achieve these features. Surprisingly the CP is not too bad, though it is a bit unorthodox in my opinion.
My favorite part of the model is the head, mouth, and underbelly. Really evokes the spirit of the animal. You can see the underbelly better in the other photo. I was originally going to model this specifically from the Mekong Giant Catfish, but I suppose "Pangasius" encompasses everything better.

It’s September of 1992 and the ‘Chem Train’ backs its train into Durand Yard. To the right we see CM train 702 patiently waiting its turn to perform the same maneuver. The ‘Chem Train’ was originally conceived to ferry traffic for Dow Chemical and Dow Corning from Midland, MI. The idea being that the many hazardous loads would travel more safely with a dedicated train. Eventually that traffic was incorporated into train 702 and the ‘Rocket’ was abolished.

The average Goldfinch is 12–13 cm long with a wingspan of 21–25 cm and a weight of 14 to 19 grams. This brightly-coloured finch has become a familiar sight at garden nut feeders in recent years. Striking black and yellow wings usually catch the eye first, but the scarlet red "face" and black and white head markings are equally striking, set off against a rather plain brown back and whitish underside. The tail is black with white spots and the rump white.
And so what exactly is the difference between a Chinon CM-7 and a CM-5?
Well despite the similar names and both using K-mount lenses, they are pretty different. The CM-7 is one of the Cosina-built SLRs; the CM-5 pretty clearly comes from a different factory. The baseplate has attachment points for a motor winder. The shutter has different blades and only syncs at 1/60th second. The self-timer is positioned higher. The top-panel controls all look different. The meter LEDs are outside the viewfinder eyepiece (a Chinon quirk) not alongside the viewfinder image. The hand grip is removable. The Chinon feels even a bit more light and plasticky, although with a mellower shutter sound.

Easily the most complex mammal design of mine so far.
All critiques and comments are welcome! I finally folded something new, it's only been about a year since the last model. I guess to my credit the last one was the stegosaurus which is even more complex than this one...

The osprey or more specifically the western osprey (Pandion haliaetus) — also called sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk — is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey with a cosmopolitan range. It is a large raptor, reaching more than 60 cm (24 in) in length and 180 cm (71 in) across the wings. It is brown on the upperparts and predominantly greyish on the head and underparts.
The osprey tolerates a wide variety of habitats, nesting in any location near a body of water providing an adequate food supply. It is found on all continents except Antarctica, although in South America it occurs only as a non-breeding migrant.
As its other common names suggest, the osprey's diet consists almost exclusively of fish. It possesses specialised physical characteristics and exhibits unique behaviour to assist in hunting and catching prey. As a result of these unique characteristics, it has been given its own taxonomic genus, Pandion and family, Pandionidae. Three subspecies are usually recognized; one of the former subspecies, cristatus, has recently been given full species status and is referred to as the eastern osprey.
The osprey is unusual in that it is a single living species that occurs nearly worldwide. Even the few subspecies are not unequivocally separable. There are four generally recognised subspecies, although differences are small, and ITIS lists only the first two.
The osprey is 0.9–2.1 kg (2.0–4.6 lb) in weight and 50–66 cm (20–26 in) in length with a 127–180 cm (50–71 in) wingspan. It is, thus, of similar size to the largest members of the Buteo or Falco genera. The subspecies are fairly close in size, with the nominate subspecies averaging 1.53 kg (3.4 lb), P. h. carolinensis averaging 1.7 kg (3.7 lb) and P. h. cristatus averaging 1.25 kg (2.8 lb). The wing chord measures 38 to 52 cm (15 to 20 in), the tail measures 16.5 to 24 cm (6.5 to 9.4 in) and the tarsus is 5.2–6.6 cm (2.0–2.6 in).
The upperparts are a deep, glossy brown, while the breast is white and sometimes streaked with brown, and the underparts are pure white. The head is white with a dark mask across the eyes, reaching to the sides of the neck. The irises of the eyes are golden to brown, and the transparent nictitating membrane is pale blue. The bill is black, with a blue cere, and the feet are white with black talons. A short tail and long, narrow wings with four long, finger-like feathers, and a shorter fifth, give it a very distinctive appearance.

The sexes appear fairly similar, but the adult male can be distinguished from the female by its slimmer body and narrower wings. The breast band of the male is also weaker than that of the female, or is non-existent, and the underwing coverts of the male are more uniformly pale. It is straightforward to determine the sex in a breeding pair, but harder with individual birds.
The juvenile osprey may be identified by buff fringes to the plumage of the upperparts, a buff tone to the underparts, and streaked feathers on the head. During spring, barring on the underwings and flight feathers is a better indicator of a young bird, due to wear on the upperparts.
In flight, the osprey has arched wings and drooping "hands", giving it a gull-like appearance. The call is a series of sharp whistles, described as cheep, cheep or yewk, yewk. If disturbed by activity near the nest, the call is a frenzied cheereek
he osprey is piscivorous, with fish making up 99% of its diet. It typically takes fish weighing 150–300 g (5.3–10.6 oz) and about 25–35 cm (9.8–13.8 in) in length, but the weight can range from 50 g (1.8 oz) to 2 kg (4.4 lb). Virtually any type of fish in that size range are taken.
Ospreys have vision that is well adapted to detecting underwater objects from the air. Prey is first sighted when the osprey is 10–40 m (33–131 ft) above the water, after which the bird hovers momentarily then plunges feet first into the water.
Occasionally, the osprey may prey on rodents, rabbits, hares, other birds, and small reptiles.
The osprey has several adaptations that suit its piscivorous lifestyle:
reversible outer toes
sharp spicules on the underside of the toes
closable nostrils to keep out water during dives
backwards-facing scales on the talons which act as barbs to help hold its catch
dense plumage which is oily and prevents its feathers from getting waterlogged.
The osprey breeds near freshwater lakes and rivers, and sometimes on coastal brackish waters. Rocky outcrops just offshore are used in Rottnest Island off the coast of Western Australia, where there are 14 or so similar nesting sites of which five to seven are used in any one year. Many are renovated each season, and some have been used for 70 years. The nest is a large heap of sticks, driftwood, turf or seaweed built in forks of trees, rocky outcrops, utility poles, artificial platforms or offshore islets. As wide as 2 meters and weighing about 135 kg, large nests on utility poles may be fire hazards and have caused power outages.
Generally, ospreys reach sexual maturity and begin breeding around the age of three to four, though in some regions with high osprey densities, such as Chesapeake Bay in the U.S., they may not start breeding until five to seven years old, and there may be a shortage of suitable tall structures. If there are no nesting sites available, young ospreys may be forced to delay breeding. To ease this problem, posts are sometimes erected to provide more sites suitable for nest building. In some regions ospreys prefer transmission towers as nesting sites, e.g. in East Germany.

The platform design developed by one organization, Citizens United to Protect the Maurice River and Its Tributaries, Inc. has become the official design of the State of New Jersey, U.S. The platform plans and materials list, available online, have been utilized by people from a number of different geographical regions. Osprey-watch.org is the global site for mapping osprey nest locations and logging observations on reproductive success.
Ospreys usually mate for life. Rarely, polyandry has been recorded. The breeding season varies according to latitude; spring (September–October) in southern Australia, April to July in northern Australia and winter (June–August) in southern Queensland. In spring the pair begins a five-month period of partnership to raise their young. The female lays two to four eggs within a month, and relies on the size of the nest to conserve heat. The eggs are whitish with bold splotches of reddish-brown and are about 6.2 cm × 4.5 cm (2.4 in × 1.8 in) and weigh about 65 g (2.3 oz). The eggs are incubated for about 35–43 days to hatching.
The newly hatched chicks weigh only 50–60 g (1.8–2.1 oz), but fledge in 8–10 weeks. A study on Kangaroo Island, South Australia, had an average time between hatching and fledging of 69 days. The same study found an average of 0.66 young fledged per year per occupied territory, and 0.92 young fledged per year per active nest. Some 22% of surviving young either remained on the island or returned at maturity to join the breeding population. When food is scarce, the first chicks to hatch are most likely to survive. The typical lifespan is 7–10 years, though rarely individuals can grow to as old as 20–25 years.
The oldest European wild osprey on record lived to be over thirty years of age. In North America, great horned owls (Bubo virginianus), golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos), and bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) are the only major predators of ospreys, capable of taking both nestlings and adults. However, kleptoparasitism by bald eagles, where the larger raptor steals the osprey's catch, is more common than predation. The white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla), which is very similar to the bald eagle, may harass or prey on the osprey in Eurasia. Raccoons (Procyon lotor) can be a serious threat to nestlings or eggs if they can access the nest. Endoparasitic trematodes (Scaphanocephalus expansus and Neodiplostomum spp.) have been recorded in wild ospreys.

USSAroostook was originally constructed as the passenger steamship Bunker Hill by the William Cramp & Sons shipyard in Philadelphia. She was launched on 26 March 1907 and sponsored by Miss Rose Elizabeth Fitzgerald, daughter of the Mayor of Boston.
USS Aroostook stood out of Newport harbor on 23 July 1919, and steamed to Hampton Roads, arriving the following day. She then transported a draft of men to Portsmouth, Va., on 31 July, and took on supplies before shifting to Portsmouth to load mines and more supplies, completing the loading by 7 August. After a period of recreation and liberty for her crew, USS Aroostook sailed for Colon, Panama Canal Zone, on 12 August. She reached her destination on 18 August and transited the Panama Canal the following day.
From 18 December 1919 to 16 February 1920, USS Aroostook operated out of San Diego, and over the next few months tended aviation units at San Diego, Santa Barbara, and San Pedro until 14 June, when she proceeded to San Diego for a machinery overhaul, and thence to the Mare Island Navy Yard. At the start of that period of availability, the ship received the alphanumeric hull designation CM-3.
USS Aroostook (CM-3) soon returned to the west coast, transporting men and materiel for VS-2. Following local operations out of NAS San Diego, the ship underwent further overhaul work at Mare Island from 24 November 1925. Decommissioned at the Puget Sound Navy Yard, on 10 March1931, USS Aroostook (CM-3) remained inactive for the next ten years. The Navy considered reactivating her for service as a cargo vessel, taking the step of reclassifying her as AK-44 on 20 May 1941, but found her unsuited for this task. Her name was stricken from the Naval Register on 5 February 1943, and she was transferred to the War Shipping Administration.

With nested rotating spheres within spheres, this mechanical device afforded motion sensing on 2 axis, much less effectively that the 6-axis accelerometers now standard in all of our cell phones (and built on-chip with Silicon MEMS). But she is a beauty inside, and the subject of a Pilat painting (details in comment below).
UPDATE: new research shows that this S/N 39, was in 1973 a LM spare located at AC/Delco in Milwaukee. Two of the three Inertial Reference Integrating Gyroscopes (IRIG) were prime spares for Apollo 17.
This Block II Apollo Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) comprised the heart of the spacecraft’s primary guidance and navigational control system (PGNCS). Here is a cool 1-minute video on this "ball of wizardry and magic" and a short I posted of my spinning.
The IMU provided inertial reference inputs to the onboard Apollo Guidance Computer, and Flight Director Attitude Indicators and served as a fixed reference point in space with which to measure vehicle displacement. Encased within the housing are three inertial rate integrating gyros and three pulsed-integrating pendulous accelerometers; these are mounted to a gimbaled platform to allow three directions of freedom. Any displacement of the platform, resulting from either a change in spacecraft attitude or velocity, would be sensed and communicate signals representative of the magnitude and direction of displacement. The IMU was developed by Dr. Charles Draper and the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory and manufactured by General Motors (A.C. Spark Plug Division). The technology is a derivative of the Polaris Ballistic Missile submarine guidance system. RRAuction described it as "an extreme rarity, auction records indicate this is likely the first of its kind offered for sale."
The device is spherical and approximately 12″ in diameter, and bears a metal NASA tag reading: “Apollo G. &. N. System. Name: Inertial Measuring Unit, Part No. 2018601-241, Serial No. AC 39, Cont. No. NAS 9-497.” Above this is another tag, labeled “PIP,” reading: “X: 2AP-293R, Y: 3AP-313, Z: 2AP-241.” An artifact in the Future Ventures’ 🚀 Space Collection.
