Following the modest success of the post-WWII Ralston Tigre MkII, the Ralston company looked to a more ambitious and glamorous execution with the Tigre MkIII, released in 1961.
The basis for the new car, again came from the General Motors' premium division - Cadillac - for the architectural hardware.
The Frame & Underbody was developed from the 1959/60 GM 'C' Bodies - a short-lived production run for GM, hence the availability to the Ralston Company. Wheelbase was set at 130 in (3,302 mm) for the standard sedan, and all the specialty 2-door cars. The long-wheelbase Limousine, Town Car and Specialty models sharing the GM 'D' Body 150 in (3,805 mm) with the Cadillac Series 75 / Fleetwood.
Powertrain was also Cadillac derived, incluing the 390 CID (6.4 Litre) V8 engine. Power was rated the same 345 bhp (257 kW). Cadillac was to retire this engine, with the development of a new engine of the same capacity for 1961.
One notable characteristic of all Ralston Tigre MkIII models are the reverse-opening doors. On all two-door cars, the doors operated on special hinges to move backwards along the body, offering easier ingress and egress for all passengers. For the four-door models, the front doors were conventionally hinged, per the originating GM 'C' and 'D' body vehicles, whilst the rear doors adopted the special hinged mechanism to allow rear passengers easier access. The adoption of GM's body-on-frame chassis permitted the omission of a conventional B-pillar on the four-door cars. A rarity at the time, but shared with the contemporary Lincoln saloons.
The real party trick appeared in 1964, with the introduction of the MkIII B. This model, though visually little changed from the MkIII of 1961, incorporated the first (and only) reintroduction of the V12 engine to the US-based motor industry.
Once more, the engine was based on that of a Cadillac.

The prototype engines were produced in 7.4 and 8.2 litre forms, originally to support the fitment of the V12 to the upcoming Cadillac Eldorado - Cadillac's first front-wheel-drive vehicle. Ultimately the V12 installation in the Eldorado was cancelled, as the engineering team considered the engine to be transversely installed, until late in the development, where the V12 length would have been a significant disadvantage in terms of installing a matching transmission. Cadillac instead, continued with V8 development at the same swept capacities, even when the Eldorado was ultimately launched with the longitudinal engine installation with the gearbox alongside. As the Eldorado was to be the most premium of premium Cadillacs, the large capacity V8s filtered across to the RWD BOF models, but the V12 was not fitted to any of the division's cars.
This opened the possibility of offering the V12 to another luxury vehicle manufacturer who did not have the funding to develop such an engine on their own.
Ralston, wishing to also continue the production of the V8 models launched in 1961, renamed the V8 as the , and offered the V12 engined as a premium model above this. In truth, the engine was the only key difference, as there were very few restriction on the use of either engine in combination with the low-volume bodystyles on offer.
Ralston remained (relatively) conservative on the engine specification, choosing not to lift the power from the original Cadillac specification, nonetheless choosing the larger 8.2 litre capacity engine at a rated 394 hp (296 kW) and 506 lb.ft (686 Nm).
Externally there was noting to differentiate between the fitment of the V8 and V12 engines to the cars, other than the subtle text spelling out or on the side engine vent ahead of the doors. The 1964 introduction coincided with a minor external facelift, key change being the fitment of a third 'X' feature in the front grille, replacing the '5th' headlamp feature fitted on 1961-early 1964 vehicles. Additionally, the modest tailfins were trimmed smaller again, and a more conservative rear licence plate treatment used in place of the 3rd rocket pod in the rear facia.
The model shown here is the rare 'GlassRoof' Hardtop model. This features the outer bows from the standard hardtop, augmented by a third, central bow, tied to the front header bow, and two transverse bows to the side bows. The rear window remained glass, though to a different design to the regular hardtop, while the four glass panels in the roof were actually poly-carbonate (a type of very hard plastic), to improve roof durabaility. The panels were also heavily tinted to reduce heat build up in the cabin.
This metallic earth-orange 'GlassRoof' was one of 18 models built, and the 3rd V12 engined model.
This Lego miniland-scale Ralston Tigre MkIII B GlassRoof Hardtop (1964) has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 95th Build Challenge, - "Designing the Ralston Legacy", - for the design of vehicles under the fictional 'Ralston' company. The models must include a 'X' design feature on the car or bike. A number of Ralston challenge vehicle concepts are possible in this challenge.

She amazes me, at 12 she can still run and catch the ball like she did when she was much younger. Her eye and mouth coordination is still very good.
It is a place with an ominous ambience if you know what happened here. Just below the top of Gallowhill, deep in the woodland is a place of execution. It is said that the gallows were situated on a flat ledge just below the summit of the hill which has commanding views across the Moray Firth, and is the highest point for miles.
This was where many a person who upset the local landowners met their end, their corpses dangling from a gallows would have been visible for miles around. Details are sketchy, but the hill and woodlands are named after the execution site.
There are natural woodlands around the hill, mainly ancient caledonian pines and birches with oaks near the foot but with occasional examples all the way up to near the summit. Much has been planted now, with an array of giant alien commercial species and a wide range of more ornamental varieties closer to the ruined castle of Redcastle.
Redcastle claimed to be the oldest inhabited castle until it was abandoned as giant cracks appeared in the walls and it was deemed too expensive to repair or stop it from toppling into the gully behind. But it is clinging on gamely and still stands. It is from this ancient stronghold that local justice was meted out.
I found the flat place below the summit. It is now covered in birch, with the odd magnificent old pine. Whether the gallows was constructed or they just used a convenient tree - a common practice in the highlands (there is a fantastic gallows tree in Drumnadrochit, beside the Benleva Hotel, for example) is unclear.
The flat place is like a 100 yard long ledge, around the south side of the summit. It has a slight corner in the middle and I thought that would make the best location if deterent visibility was key. As I walked further along I saw an old pine. Bearing in mind that it can be difficult to age old pines, some really old ones are short and stunted and some young ones can be really tall. Perhaps nature has provided the perfect natural hanging tree?

Paul Delaroche -
The Execution of Lady Jane Grey [1833]
big seize oil painting; cm 246 × 297
London NG
*********************************************************************************
Lady Jane Grey reigned for just nine days as Queen of England following the death of Edward VI in 1553: she was deposed by the faction supporting Edward’s half-sister and heir, Mary Tudor. Tried for treason, the 17-year-old Lady Jane was beheaded at Tower Green on 12 February 1554.
Delaroche shows the final moments of the blindfolded Lady Jane as she pleads, ‘What shall I do? Where is the block?’ She is being guided towards it by Sir John Brydges, Lieutenant of the Tower. Her outer clothing has already been removed and is gathered in the lap of a lady-in-waiting, who has slumped to the ground. Behind her, a second lady-in-waiting stands facing the wall, unable to watch. To the right, the executioner stands waiting. Using a shallow stage-like space, theatrical lighting and life-size figures, Delaroche plays up the spectacle of the innocent young victim on the brink of martyrdom, compelling us to react to the scene before us.

Kingdom of England
Lady Jane Grey was the queen of the Tudor dynasty, and she reigned for nine days, from July 10 to July 19, 1553.
She was the second daughter of Henry VII and the granddaughter of Princess Mary , sister of Henry VIII , and a 5th cousin of Mary I and Elizabeth I. She was crowned queen after the death of Edward VI, and she reigned briefly, but only for nine days . As such, she sometimes refers to her as her "Queen of the Nine Days" , but scholars differ as to whether she should be classified as her Queen.

After Robert Baillie’s execution, the Crown forfeited his estates, including Jerviswood and Mellerstain. His son George Baillie fled to the Netherlands and lived there in exile through the late 1680s, where he became an officer in the Prince of Orange’s Horse Guards. With him went Sir Patrick Hume, together Patrick's daughter Grizel, who had smuggled letters to Robert's father while in was in prison in Edinburgh. Following the Glorious Revolution of 1688, he returned to Britain with WIlliam of Orange, where in 1690 his father's estates were restored to him and in 1691, he married Grizel Hume.
(Grizel Baille, nee Hume, was a songwriter and poet, and her account books, meticulously kept from 1692 to 1746, provide fascinating information about social life in Scotland in the 18th century. She died in 1746 aged 80 and is buried at Mellerstain.)
Mellerstain has remained in the family, being now the home of George Baillie-Hamilton, 14th Earl of Haddington.

Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rizal_Monument
The Rizal Monument (original title: Motto Stella, Latin, "guiding star") is a memorial in Rizal Park in Manila, Philippines built to commemorate the executed Filipino nationalist, José Rizal. The monument consists of a standing bronze sculpture of Rizal, with an obelisk, set on a stone base within which his remains are interred. A plaque on the pedestal's front reads: "To the memory of José Rizal, patriot and martyr, executed on Bagumbayan Field December Thirtieth 1896. This monument is dedicated by the people of the Philippine Islands".
The perimeter of the monument is guarded continuously by the Philippine Marine Corps’ Marine Security and Escort Group, the changing of the guard having become a daily ritual. About 100 m (330 ft) north-northwest of the monument is the exact location where Rizal was executed, marked by life-size dioramas depicting his final moments.
An exact replica of the Rizal Monument can be found in Madrid, Spain at the junction of Avenida de Las Islas Filipinas and Calle Santander.

Unusual, large cabinet photo of a mock beheading of a young woman. Dated July 21st 1890 on the back, with the name Myra R. Wonderly and the address Grand Rapids, Michigan also inscribed. I presume that this is a rehearsal for some play - but it is still a very odd image and a little disconcerting. Note that one of the players has hung his or her umbrella on the wire fence behind the scene.
Hey guys. Sorry about not posting in a while, I've been playing a lot of bf4 recently. If you play on xbox 360 add me btw: jkc88 Tell me your gamertag so I know who you are though. Thought I would post a quick pic to showcase some new things and to prove that I'm still alive.
Be expecting some things related to bf4. I have a figure almost done and have just started on a build. :) So look out for those.

The historical evidence paints Austria-Hungary in a bad light as the executions of this period are reconsidered. Historians estimate that the Austrians executed between eleven to thirty thousand civilians in the early months of the Great War. The Austirans were suspicious of civilians in Galicia, Poland, occupied Russia and the Balkans. The photographic evidence shows many executions of civilians. No one seems to have an accurate number of deaths by military or judicial proceedings by the Austrians in the Great War.
04 Mar 2004, Petit-Goave, Haiti --- A Haitian, suspected of being a multiple assassin for President Jean Bertrand Aristide's Lavalas party, is stoned in Petit-Goave, some 50 kilometers south of Port-au-Prince, three days after the departure of Aristide. The man was arrested by armed citizens of Petit-Goave who proceeded to stone him and then burn him alive. --- Image by � Daniel Aguilar/Reuters/Corbis
His execution was an hour away. Not much time to think through his mistakes, but Cazzmir managed. . . .

In truth, the engine was the only key difference, as there were very few restriction on the use of either engine in combination with the low-volume bodystyles on offer.
Also, as the replacement long-wheelbase MkIIIs would not be ready until 1962, the MkII-D long-wheelbase models ran concurrently for approximately 18 months (July 1960 - February 1962). The original MkIII production commencing on the short wheelbase in July 1961 and extending through to July 1964.
Notable styling features for all MkIIIs are the double stacked headlamps (supplemented by the */5th/* headlamp in the middle of the grille on the original MkIIIs). At the rear the tail lamps formed part of a 'rocket pod' assembly, also featuring the trademark Ralston 'X'. On the original MkIIIs this was supplemented by an additional '+' rocket form in the deep bumper treatment which extended all the way up to the trunklid.
Subtle fins graced the tops of the rear fender forms - a styling feature it appeared on the way out for most brands - but seemingly retained for premium brands - Cadillac - Lincoln - Imperial. The fin feature was also framed in chrome, offering the possibility for those customers who wished to choose a second additional colour for the exterior paintwork.
This pale yellow MkIII Convertible was one of the more commonly ordered MkIII models. and is typical of the series.

Lazaretto Island, (Greek: Λαζαρέτο, also Lazareto, formerly known as Agios Dimitrios) is located two nautical miles northeast of Corfu. It gets its name from the lazaretto located there.
During Venetian rule in the early 16th century a monastery was built on the islet and a leprosarium was established there later that century, after which the island was named.
In 1798, during the French occupation, it was occupied by the Russo-Turkish fleet which ran it as a military hospital. During the British occupation, in 1814, the leprosarium was again opened after renovations. After Corfu was united with Greece in 1864 the leprosarium was occasionally used.
During World War II, the Axis Occupation of Greece established a concentration camp there for the prisoners of the Greek National Resistance movement. There remains today the two-storied building that served as the Headquarters of the Italian army, a small church, and the wall against which those condemned to death were shot.
During the Greek Civil War, 1946-1949, it became a concentration camp for political prisoners, a large number of whom were executed, 112 executions have been confirmed.
The 112 people executed in Lazaretto belonged to the left resistance and were in prison in Corfu during the Greek Civil War. There were prisoners of conscience and fighters for national independence and democracy. Among the 112 people executed in Lazaretto were leaders, members and supporters of the communist movement. Another reason for their execution was their refusal to renounce the communist ideology and action.
They were put in jail, as dozens of other resistance leaders who were persecuted by the Greek fascist monarchist state. The state led the country in the Civil War with the full support of the British and Americans. The prisoners were condemned by the Emergency Millitary Courts and executed under the anti-communist legislation of the fascist monarchist state of that time.
