These were my long dreamed of all autocanon Havocs. They didn't do so well at Astronomi-con Vancouver, but people liked the conversions.

Next on my Desk. The Avatar of Khaine. Primed. I changed the proportions of this figure by extending the arms, legs and torso. I also created a display base for it.

I finished the first roll of film today, so here are the insides of my converted J66. The supply side of the camera is shown here. The top screw is the same size as the bottom, but I put heat shrink on it so the spring wouldn't catch on the threads as it compresses/uncompresses during inserting and removing the spool.

Like a Phoenix from the ashes the Cyclefab Cycletruck is born anew! Once cumbersome and sluggish the cycletruck cargo bike can now support its capacity with a 350RPM eZee geared motor powered by a 846 Watt/Hour Lithium Ion Battery. The Grin Tech Phaserunner Motor controller (cast in clear epoxy!) and Cycle Analyst heads up display were manufactured up in Vancouver Canada by some rad eBike nerds. I oped for a one of the latest torque sensing bottom brackets which directly translates your pedal strokes into acceleration which simulates the feeling of a super power. Looking forward to putting some commute miles and grocery runs on this new iteration of a bike that I picked up exactly 6 years ago today!
A Cyberman head folds around his head, enveloping it. He feels a thousand tiny probes drilling into his skull and burying themselves into his brain, then all the pain and fear slowly drains from his mind......
An energy harvester combines thin-film energy conversion materials development with the mechanical designs of a buckled beam array and a cantilever, to harness the energy from a human heart towards conversion into an electrical power for implantable biomedical devices.

"The way I figured it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?" -- 'Doc' Emmett L. Brown
In the early '80s, car maker John Z. DeLorean had big dreams for his sleek silver automobiles, but he probably never imagined that they would one day travel through time and drive into the hearts of millions of movie goers!
In 1985, teenager Marty McFly accidentally found himself behind the wheel of Doc Brown's latest invention -- a super-customized DeLorean retrofitted with a portable plutonium-powered nuclear reactor which sent him hurtling through the veil of time 30 years into the past to help his parents fall in love.
Doc explained to Marty that the car's stainless-steel construction helps with flux dispersal, an aid necessary for time traveling. When he later traveled forward to the future, Doc took the DeLorean concept to all new heights. Modified and futurized with a simple hover conversion from the year 2015, enabling the DeLorean to defy gravity as well as the time barrier.
Over the course of 130 years, Marty & Doc found themselves in a number of nail-biting adventures as they traveled across the space-time continuum in this highly detailed 1:18 scale version of the durable DeLorean time machine vehicle. As the duo quickly learned, if you're traveling through time, you're going to encounter some different kinds of terrain. Whether you're flying down the skyways of the future or riding the rails in the Old West, the DeLorean is THE time machine of choice!

The F-86L was the designation given to late-1950s conversions of existing USAF F-86Ds to use the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) datalink system.
The SAGE system was developed during the early 1950s by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory. It was based on the use of a large, high-speed ground-based computer to handle and coordinate air surveillance data from various ground radar installations. This information was transmitted in real-time to a special data receiver aboard the interceptor, and an on-board system converted this data into heading, speed, altitude, target bearing, and range information that would be used to guide the pilot in his interception. No voice instructions were used, and the interceptor was automatically positioned for a lead-collision attack with its own E-4 fire control system.
In the mid 1950s, it was decided to adapt the F-86D to the new SAGE system, and in 1956, 2192 conversion kits were ordered for the F-86Ds of the Air Defense Command (ADC). Under a project code-named Project Follow-On, starting in May of 1956, certain low-time F-86D interceptors were withdrawn one-by-one from service and fitted with the upgrade. This work was done at North American plants in Fresno and Inglewood, California. Following the upgrade, they were redesignated F-86L. All F-86L block designations were changed to reflect their original F-86D block numbers. The F-86D-10 to F-86D-45 became F-86L-11 to F-86L-46, but blocks 50, 55, and 60 just changed the type from D to L, that is, the F-86D-50 became F-86L-50.
When F-86Ds were upgraded to the F-86L configuration, an AN/ARR-39 datalink receiver was fitted, which had a blade-like antenna sticking out of the fuselage just forward of and below the starboard wing. The AN/ARC-27 command radio of the F-86D was replaced by an AN/ARC-34 set. An AN/APX-25 identification radar was added, and a new AN/ARN-31 glide slope receiver was provided.
All Follow-On aircraft were brought up to F-86D-45 standards before starting with the electronics upgrades, including the installation of the drag chute in the tail. In the F-86L, two protruding cooling air intakes were added to the fuselage sides just aft of the wing, replacing the older recessed cooling ducts. The same J47-GE-33 or J47-GE-17B engine of the F-86D was retained, but the F-86L was fitted with the F-86F-40 wing, with twelve-inch wingtip extensions and "6-3" leading edge extensions with slats. The wingspan and wing area were 39.1 feet and 313.37 square feet respectively. The new wing improved the handing ability and provided better turning at high altitudes. The reconditioned F-86Ls retained the armament of twenty-four rockets of the F-86D.
The first flight took place on December 27, 1955. That particular aircraft had just the SAGE equipment installed, and the first conversion incorporating all of the Follow-On changes did not fly until May of 1956. A total of 981 F-86Ds were modified to the F-86L configuration. After conversion in 1956-57, F-86Ls were issued to most of the ADC wings that were using the F-86D. First to receive the F-86L was the 317th FIS at McChord AFB, which first received the planes in late November of 1956. The service of the F-86L with the ADC was destined to be quite brief, since by the time the last F-86L conversion was delivered, the type was already being phased out in favor of the Convair F-102A and F-106A delta-winged interceptors. The last F-86Ls left ADC service by 1960.
As F-102A and F-106A interceptors became available to the ADC, the F-86Ls were transferred to Air National Guard units beginning in late 1957. The first ANG squadron to receive the F-86L was the 108th, based at O'Hare Field in Chicago. The following ANG squadrons got F-86Ls: 108, 111, 124, 127, 128, 133, 146, 147, 151, 156, 156, 158, 159, 173, 181, 182, 185, 187, 190, 191, 192, 194, 197, and 199.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, six ANG F-86L squadrons were on alert. The last F-86Ls were withdrawn from ANG service during the summer of 1965.
In 1964, seventeen F-86Ls were supplied to the Royal Thai Air Force. So far as I am aware, Thailand was the only foreign user of the F-86L. They served with No. 12 Squadron at Don Maung Airport until they were finally retired in 1976.
Specification of the F-86L:
Engine: One General Electric J47-GE-33, 5550 lb.st. dry, 7650 lb.st with afterburner. Performance: Maximum speed: 693 mph at sea level, 616 mph at 40,000 feet. Initial climb rate was 12,200 feet per minute, and service ceiling was 49,600 feet. Dimensions: wingspan 39 feet 1 inch, length 40 feet 3 inches, height 15 feet, wing area 313 square feet. Weights: 13,822 pounds empty, 18,484 pounds gross.
