My code 3 models of Eastern Scottish ECW bodied Leyland Olympians 107 ULS107X and 113 ULS113X in the SMT Lothians/Edinburgh livery as applied to this fleet during the 1990s. To make these models the EFE model was dismantled, the Titan roof aerial was filed off and the paint stripped off to bare metal. After priming the main colours were sprayed on and the detail applied with brush painting. I make my own transfers to complete the models.

Inside joke. My fiance, Jennifer, is a nurse. Her coworkers can't seem to tell her apart from her friend Mia who works on the same floor.
A large wall in Lincoln with just this binary code graffiti/Wall Art. I don't know if it has any meaning beyond looking interesting but I'd like to think it does.
As a kid, I used to print program source code and would make edits while on family road trips during summer vacation. When I got back home, I'd type in the edits.
In taking a road trip I hadn't done in perhaps 15 years, it felt appropriate to revisit some old habits - this time, with about 45 pages of JavaScript.
Despite software's "virtual" nature, I think it's good to occasionally print and work on a physical copy of your ideas. Even if you don't work all of your notes back into the code, you still benefit from the mental exercise of thinking through and editing your work.
“One Star-Raker takes off as another undergoes airport servicing. With its landing gear extended, Star-Raker ground clearance would have been 1.52 meters (five feet).”
On the landed Star-Raker, note that the door(s) of the main landing gear is/are closed…with the landing gear strut apparently extending through a hole…in the closed door. Interesting, I’d like to see that in operation.
Note also the LAX-like airport.

Specifically, within the above site’s discussion thread, contributed by user “ozmosis”, 18 April 2011, the image is Figure 2, captioned “Multiple Launch”.
That, and other extracts are from Rockwell International presentation/paper SSD 79-0082, entitled “STAR-RAKER: AN AIRBREATHER/ROCKET-POWERED, HORIZONTAL TAKEOFF TRIDELTA FLYING WING, SINGLE-STAGE-TO-ORBIT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM” by: David A. Reed, Jr., Hideo Ikawa & Jonas A. Sadunas. The paper was presented at the AIAA Conference on Advanced Technology for Future Space Systems, at Hampton Virginia, May 8-11, 1979.
Since it’s so damned cool, articles & reproductions of this (and other) Star-Raker images abound online.
As such, it’s particularly gratifying to have come across this & scan it at a glorious 1200 dpi. That, and to have been able to identify the talented artist of this & many other gorgeous works - North American Rockwell/Rockwell International artist Manuel E. Alvarez.
Yay me.
