Various versions ( both military & civilian) of this aircraft were manufactured by Beechcraft from 1943 through 1967. The original design dates back to the late 1930's. There are not many left flying due to an FAA required update to the airframe that costs more to do than the original price of the aircraft.

Week 12/52-2016 Edition (March 18 - 24) Theme - Childhood Memories.
An opportunity to recall wonderful memories of my childhood. I loved small model cars. I always remember getting a beautiful state of the art model Mercedes car made by Corgi. It had plastic glass windows, suspension, a wonderful invention then, and the doors, bonnet (hood) and boot (trunk) all opened. Unfortunately I no longer have this or other model cars from my childhood. I got this tiny model car in later life and still have it. It is a model of a 1906 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost car made by Matchbox
I put my Camera on a Tripod and long exposure of 2.5 secs. I also tried flash but didnt like the results.

This rare $2 USD paper bank note has a red stamp because it is not based on debt, this legal tender is based on real money as it represents an exchange for the precious metals: gold or silver.
When the USD paper bank note stopped representing the gold and silver held in bank vaults and started representing 'credit' on our future labor.. bank notes (paper monies) were then bound to have a 'fictitious value' and came to be 'debt based' as we are slowly realizing today.
The United States single dollar [dollar sign symbol: $] and [dollar code: USD] is the unit of currency of the United States and is defined by the Coinage Act of 1792 to be between 371 and 416 grains which is 27.0 grams of silver -depending on its purity.

fun facts:
The U.S. dollar is divided into 100 cents but was divided in 200 half-cents prior to 1857.
The United States dollar is normally abbreviated as the USD dollar sign $ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies that use the $ symbol.

A vintage candlestick telephone, characterized by its distinctive and elegant early-20th-century design. The phone's age is apparent in the texture of its metal surface, worn and partially stripped of paint, revealing a mix of black paint and aged brass beneath, giving it an authentic antique charm. The mouthpiece is large and funnel-shaped, slightly tilted downward, while the slender, cylindrical body rises prominently from a round, weighted base. A coiled cord snakes away from the receiver, emphasizing the phoneβs analog nature.
The scene is illuminated with a warm, ambient glow, casting gentle highlights and shadows across the phone and accentuating the metallic textures. In the background, hints of soft orange light enhance a cozy, nostalgic atmosphere, while blurred objects such as vintage containers, jars, and greenery subtly decorate the scene, contributing to the overall antique ambiance. The entire composition evokes a sense of history, nostalgia, and timelessness, capturing a relic of past communication technology in a richly detailed and moody setting.

With Exclusive Limited Fullsets Hand Made 'Cherry Blossom Outfits & Shoes' by Alyona Chance (SG).
The weather gods finally cooperated! I was able to go outside and do some photos for that Barbie I got early last week and put the figure through its paces.
So here we go - the Barbie Signature: Black Widow figure.. or as I like to call her, Covert Combat Barbie.
There are two versions of this figure - her standard black suit and ponytail, sold by Amazon, and her snow suit with long unbraided hair, sold as a Walmart exclusive here in Canada.
This is an interesting release for me. Having played with Hot Toys over the years, the bar for what a "definitive sixth scale" figure ought to be has been somewhat etched in my mind. Clearly, at roughly 1/4 the price of your typical Hot Toy, there's no way that this figure is going to match those standards, though I will admit I giggled at the multitude of people swearing that the Barbie version would couldn't be beat.
Now, the body this figure uses is bigger and more articulated that the typical Barbie figure. She actually towers over the Hot Toys Endgame Widow, and based on my guess is about the same size as the Iron Man 2 release - officially she's 11.5 inches tall. She's also not quite as impossibly proportioned as the typical Barbie fashion doll... but you can clearly tell that human anatomy was not the strong point of the design.
Surprisingly, she's REALLY light on the accessories. Widow comes with two batons that are hilariously undersized and a fixed height stand. I guess if you're a stickler, she also comes with an official certificate indicating this is an official Barbie Signature Black Label release in conjunction with Marvel. Her guns are part of the holster and cannot be removed, which really sucks and I'm guessing is the result of wanting to be family friendly.
She's also a right pain in the ass to get out of the box. You figure at this price point, they'd use clam shell packaging or something that would be easier to access and perhaps reuse. Nope.. elastic bands, cardboard... the usual.
Her head is a soft plastic/rubber which honestly fits the aesthetic of the figure just fine. The actual sculpting and paint work isn't bad either - it's clearly not Scarlett Johansson, but it's not like they just slapped a Barbie head on the figure and called it a day. It looks like they used the digital painting technology for the eyes, which makes it look pixelated. Otherwise, the only other paint apps would be the colouring on her outfit pieces, including her bracelets, belts, shoulder pads. and hands, all of which exhibit acceptable paint quality.
Hair is rooted and has a nice rich red colour.
The costume is effectively what I'd say is used for your higher end children's costumes. A printed nylon suit, there are obvious seamlines where stitches are made. The actual printing on the suit isn't bad and is quite sharp looking. But remember it is printing, so there's no raised textures or anything like that.
One of the aspects I do like about the costume is that backpack for storing the batons and her belt/holsters are actually made to be removed. It's not quite realistic, but it certainly makes for ease of repurposing for other figures. Boots are also designed for easy removal.
Articulation is relatively limited, though I'm not entirely certain why as the price tag would have supported a somewhat nicer body. She has double jointed knees, hips with some leg rotation, standard shoulders with some minor lateral movement, double jointed elbows, wrist and ball jointed head. So, basically she can kick alright and kind of move her arms and head.
For me, I guess that would be the biggest issue. I mean, I don't expect 40 points of articulation, but when a Marvel Legends figure has you beat, it's time to kind of hang your head in shame if you're an action figure. But, to be fair, I'm not entirely sure if Mattel was trying to make an action figure, or just a Barbie with more action.
So all in all, an interesting figure. As mentioned, there was no expectations for this to meet Hot Toys standards, but the lack of accessories and limited articulation make this a figure that is more of a novelty item. Which is a shame, as I honestly don't mind the aesthetics... in fact it would have been fun to have a Barbie that can pull off combat poses.
Oh well.. but hey, at least I can check off "played with a Barbie" from my Bucket List.

So here we go - the Barbie Signature: Black Widow figure.. or as I like to call her, Covert Combat Barbie.
There are two versions of this figure - her standard black suit and ponytail, sold by Amazon, and her snow suit with long unbraided hair, sold as a Walmart exclusive here in Canada.
This is an interesting release for me. Having played with Hot Toys over the years, the bar for what a "definitive sixth scale" figure ought to be has been somewhat etched in my mind. Clearly, at roughly 1/4 the price of your typical Hot Toy, there's no way that this figure is going to match those standards, though I will admit I giggled at the multitude of people swearing that the Barbie version would couldn't be beat.
Now, the body this figure uses is bigger and more articulated that the typical Barbie figure. She actually towers over the Hot Toys Endgame Widow, and based on my guess is about the same size as the Iron Man 2 release - officially she's 11.5 inches tall. She's also not quite as impossibly proportioned as the typical Barbie fashion doll... but you can clearly tell that human anatomy was not the strong point of the design.
Surprisingly, she's REALLY light on the accessories. Widow comes with two batons that are hilariously undersized and a fixed height stand. I guess if you're a stickler, she also comes with an official certificate indicating this is an official Barbie Signature Black Label release in conjunction with Marvel. Her guns are part of the holster and cannot be removed, which really sucks and I'm guessing is the result of wanting to be family friendly.
She's also a right pain in the ass to get out of the box. You figure at this price point, they'd use clam shell packaging or something that would be easier to access and perhaps reuse. Nope.. elastic bands, cardboard... the usual.
Her head is a soft plastic/rubber which honestly fits the aesthetic of the figure just fine. The actual sculpting and paint work isn't bad either - it's clearly not Scarlett Johansson, but it's not like they just slapped a Barbie head on the figure and called it a day. It looks like they used the digital painting technology for the eyes, which makes it look pixelated. Otherwise, the only other paint apps would be the colouring on her outfit pieces, including her bracelets, belts, shoulder pads. and hands, all of which exhibit acceptable paint quality.
Hair is rooted and has a nice rich red colour.
The costume is effectively what I'd say is used for your higher end children's costumes. A printed nylon suit, there are obvious seamlines where stitches are made. The actual printing on the suit isn't bad and is quite sharp looking. But remember it is printing, so there's no raised textures or anything like that.
One of the aspects I do like about the costume is that backpack for storing the batons and her belt/holsters are actually made to be removed. It's not quite realistic, but it certainly makes for ease of repurposing for other figures. Boots are also designed for easy removal.
Articulation is relatively limited, though I'm not entirely certain why as the price tag would have supported a somewhat nicer body. She has double jointed knees, hips with some leg rotation, standard shoulders with some minor lateral movement, double jointed elbows, wrist and ball jointed head. So, basically she can kick alright and kind of move her arms and head.
For me, I guess that would be the biggest issue. I mean, I don't expect 40 points of articulation, but when a Marvel Legends figure has you beat, it's time to kind of hang your head in shame if you're an action figure. But, to be fair, I'm not entirely sure if Mattel was trying to make an action figure, or just a Barbie with more action.
So all in all, an interesting figure. As mentioned, there was no expectations for this to meet Hot Toys standards, but the lack of accessories and limited articulation make this a figure that is more of a novelty item. Which is a shame, as I honestly don't mind the aesthetics... in fact it would have been fun to have a Barbie that can pull off combat poses.
