An old photograph of Glasgow Corporation Tramways (GCT) experimental single deck car No. 1089 (aka Baillie Burt's car) on a *Light Railway Transport League (LRTL) tour, the sign on the front says "LRTL Trolley Tour". There was a LRTL tour of Scottish tramways 30 Jul to 08 Aug 1955, but there were a number of Glasgow tours that took place.
A version hand colourised by me is here:-
The photo reverse is stamped with the photographer and/or negative owner name B. A. Jenkins. The name is partially obscured so 'Jenkins' is my best guess.
No. 1089 was built by GCT to try and compete against the incursion into passenger tram numbers by buses, it seated 36 on upholstered seats and ran on Brill 77E1 bogies, going into service Aug 1926. In Mar 1950 it was put into storage at Langside Depot but was then sent to Coplawhill in Dec 1951 to have its seating reduced to 20 which allowed an increase to 38 for those standing. With this increase and the resulting faster passenger flow it was put to work on the very busy shipyard services, this stopped when in Aug 1960 the number of standing passengers was limited to five, from then it was used only occasionally, but following the loss of fifty cars in the Dalmarnock Depot fire on 22 Mar 1961 it was was put back into regular service. From Jun 1960 it was again in storage, this time at Partick Depot until being given a repaint to take part in the tram procession to commemorate the Glasgow tramways closure on 4 Sep 1962. Afterwards it avoided the scrap man and now resides as a static exhibit in the Riverside Museum which houses the vehicles that were once in the Glasgow Museum of Transport.
* The LRTL were created in 1937 and in 1979 was renamed the Light Rail Transit Association (LRTA).

The Rodman guns were what were known as columbiads and are pictured above in Fort McHenry's Outer Battery. Columbiads were large-calibre, smoothbore, muzzle-loading cannon able to fire heavy projectiles at both high and low trajectories. This feature enabled the columbiad to fire solid shot or shell to long ranges, making it an excellent coastal defence weapon for its day. Invented by Colonel George Bomford, US Army, in 1811, columbiads were used in US coastal defence from the War of 1812 until the early years of the 20th century. Very few columbiads were used outside of the US and Confederate Armies.
Designed by Frenchman Jean Foncin in 1798 and named after James McHenry, a Scots-Irish immigrant and surgeon-soldier who became Secretary of War under President Washington, Fort McHenry was built after America won its independence to defend the important Port of Baltimore from future enemy attacks. It was positioned on Locust Point peninsula which juts into the opening of Baltimore Harbor, and was constructed in the form of a five-pointed star surrounded by a dry moat. The moat would serve as a shelter from which musketmen might defend the fort from a land attack. In case of such an attack on this first line of defence, each point, or bastion, was fortified, so that the invading army would be caught in a crossfire of cannon and musket fire.
Of course, the fort is best known for its role in the War of 1812, when it successfully defended Baltimore Harbor from a half-hearted attack by the Royal Navy on 13-14 September 1814. It was during the bombardment of the fort that Francis Scott Key was inspired to write "The Star-Spangled Banner," the poem that would eventually be set to the tune of "To Anacreon in Heaven" and become the national anthem of the United States.
On 11 August 1939, the fort was designated a "National Monument and Historic Shrine," the only such doubly designated place in the United States. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on 15 October 1966.
Bringing unspoken reality to life. To the make-up artist, the face was an asexual canvas. The photographer played with light and shadow to give it ‘life’.

I've pretty slavishly followed Joel Robison's tutorial to make this, and because time is tight today (it's his 8th birthday party today) I've rushed pretty much every stage, so this is experimental in more ways than one. I know how I want to use this idea next and I'll spend more time getting it right next time, but this is ok for a first go I think. HSS!

Quando a ausência de luz chega ao meu ser, penso se realmente estou só e se isso irá me levar ainda mais a obscuridade.
O desvaneio chega a me deixar ainda mais sem luz, sem brilho, sem saída... Mas, o que ainda me conforta é que uma hora irá amanhecer, com a luz a inspiração de estar vivo retornará.

The great and all-reaching compassion of Quan Yin is said to be boundless and ever present. This image of her manifesting into the world elicited a line from Fat Mattress' "She Came in the Morning" for the title.

With the introduction of the ERIS system, the United Federation of Europe decided that there would be no better time to unveil one of their projects. The Barracuda is unlike any other URE unit, being much taller and more agile than any Grouse or Puma could hope to be. It is equipped with a derivative of the GRF's carbon-organic armor, which the URE scavenged off of fallen Gladius and Hermes units. The Barracuda's most unique system, however, is limited gravity manipulation. Utilizing a pair of external gravitech generators and gravitech distributors, the Barracuda is capable of ridiculously fast flight, reaching speeds of up to Mach 4. This also allows the system to render physical weapons, including ERIS and HADES fire, useless, as it can simply "push" the rounds away from itself.
For weaponry, the Barracuda is equipped with a high-energy beam sword, another experimental design. For ranged attacks, it has two small fully-automatic pistols.
In order to take down ERIS systems, the Barracuda has an increased visual node installed in its head, providing a full 300 degree real-time view for the pilot. In addition, the pilots are specially trained to look for movement in the sky around it, namely ERIS units. Once spotted, the Barracuda relays the ERIS' location to ground forces, then engages it. Field tests have given the Barracuda a nearly 100% success rate, with the only exceptions being when the system runs out of power or when the pilot faints due to the intense eye strain they must endure.
This was quite a fun build. I originally tried modifying a Grouse II to be a sort of Macross-like transformer, but when that failed horribly I decided to go with a completely new design. The whole thing is quite sturdy and poseable, and of course fits a fig. I'm kinda skeptical about the colors, they were kinda a last-minute thing since I didn't want another bland dark bley mecha. Let me know what you think.
As for future projects, I have to take a few more pictures of the Jackal II before I can post that, and then I might take a stab at building one of ZephyrChaos' mecha. After that, I kinda want to remake one of the old mecha that I posted in the early days of my photostream. I can't decide which one, though.
