Coloring over the raised plastic #6 symbol & coloring in dark colors to see what kind of cool effects you could get by spraying with top coat.
5. adding to background
initially i was thinking i would paint over the lines with blue crayola watercolor and then the lines would show through the new blue color. but to my surprise adding water to crayola marker makes it look like watercolor!

Experimenting with various methods of attaching nichrome to heater barrel. This one is Stove Gasket Cement + Ceramic Tape.
Several nations experimented with heavy twin-engined fighters in the late 1930s--limits in technology at the time meant that single-engine fighters were short on range. It was believed that twin-engined "destroyer" fighters could serve as bomber escorts. In 1934, the Luftwaffe issued a requirement for a multirole twin engined fighter capable of long range, heavy armament, and a light bombload. Bayerische Flugzeugwerke--soon to be renamed after its chief designer, Willy Messerschmitt--offered its Bf 110 design. Messerschmitt chanced that the Luftwaffe would not mind if he dropped the bomb bay from the design, which saved weight and allowed for heavier gun armament: four 7.92mm machine guns and two 20mm cannon firing forward, plus a rear gun position with a single 7.92mm. It could still carry bombs on underwing racks. The Bf 110 was far and away better than rival designs, and it was placed in production in 1936; because of its armament, it was nicknamed "Zerstorer."
The Bf 110 entered World War II alongside its single-engined stablemate, the Bf 109. Its performance was considered adequate, and against more nimble fighters, Bf 110 pilots could use its heavier weight to dive on opponents and shred them with its heavy firepower. However, while this was true against the mostly obsolescent fighters of Poland and France, the Bf 110 was found to be a considerable disadvantage over Britain. The Spitfire and Hurricane were far more maneuverable, and the Zerstorer was ill-suited as an escort fighter over an enemy that could defeat the "boom and zoom" tactics used earlier. After casualty rates skyrocketed, the Luftwaffe withdrew the Bf 110 from frontline service.
Though Bf 110s would be used as day fighters over less hostile skies (such as Russia), it received a new lease on life as a nightfighter. When RAF night raids on Germany began in earnest in 1943, the Bf 110 was found to be a perfect counter: its heavy armament could tear apart even a large bomber like the Lancaster, and it was easily modified to accommodate radar sets, with a third man added in the roomy cockpit as a radar operator. When used in conjunction with the "Kammhuber Line" integrated air defense network, the 110 was a deadly opponent: vectored onto British bomber streams, the Zerstorers could use their radar to close in and open fire, often before the British knew they were there. Its lack of maneuverability was not an issue against heavy bombers.
The Bf 110 was slated to be replaced by the Messerschmitt Me 210 Hornisse (Hornet), but production delays and poor performance meant the 110 would remain in service until the end of the war. It was improved on with the Bf 110G series, which redesigned the cockpit, uprated engines, and even heavier armament. The latter included 30mm cannon in the nose as an option, or a 20mm cannon firing directly upwards, what the nightfighter crews called "schrage musik" (slanting music or jazz). Schrage musik equipped 110s could fly underneath a Lancaster and fire directly upwards into the engines or bomb bay, an almost guaranteed kill. Though technically obsolete by 1944, the Bf 110Gs continued to be deadly against RAF night bombers until the end of the war. What aircraft survived were mostly scrapped: of 6710 produced, only two survive today.
This Bf 110G-4 model is painted in the colors of Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer, the top nightfighter ace of all time with 121 victories--all scored at night. This included two missions where he scored more than five aircraft in one night. Schnaufer was nicknamed the "Spook of St. Trond" for his usual operating base. He survived the war and returned to his family's wine business afterwards, but was killed in a car accident in 1950. This aircraft, G9+AA, was assigned to NJG 4 at St. Trond, and is painted in overall light gray with medium gray striping, which was quite effective on cloudy nights. The real aircraft was captured after the war, and one of the tails--marked with Schnaufer's 121 kills--is on display at the Imperial War Museum, though the rest of the aircraft was scrapped. (Half of the Lichtenstein radar aerials on the nose are missing--time is sometimes not kind to delicate pieces on models!)

OK, this is odd. I was eating my breakfast, when Mrs W asked, 'What's that on the top of Hartridge?'
I went and got my bins, which showed the odd dark shape to be a group of cattle, silhouetted against the sky.
'That would make a good picture,' she said; and idea which I dismissed at first, as impractical with my fairly lousy zoom. But then I thought to try taking the pic through the eyepiece of one side of the bins. I quite liked the result, though it's hardly 'pin sharp' (as they used, so vigorously, to espouse at the camera club I once attended).

World Party Instagramers – We Need Your Support
Starting as an experiment and ending as a big party! From May 21st to 29th, Germany will host the so-called »Aktionswoche Alkohol« (»Drug Action Week«) – an event promoting responsible drinking. We – the team of Kointer.de – have come up with something special and hope for worldwide support via Instagram.
Kointer.de stands for KODROBS on the internet – the first contact and drug counseling center on the internet for Hamburg people – and is part of the addiction recovery institution »jugend hilft jugend« Hamburg (»youth helping youth«).
What does it have to do with IG?
We dare to perform the following experiment: 42 hours on the social web dealing with alcohol consumption by interacting via Instagram, Foursquare, Twitter, Flickr, Facebook...
During this time, the team of KOINTER will roam the city of Hamburg as well as the world wide web and will interact with inhabitants and users in the virtual and the real world.
And what do we want you to do?
What you are good at – taking pictures. From May 27th 12:00 noon (respective local time) to May 29th 6 am (respective local time), every Instagramer is invited to post and/or tag photos on the subject of party, alcohol, and having fun – of course non-drinking is welcome. Show us your real life – without a wagging finger – by shooting pictures of varying moods on different continents, party scenes, places, diverse beverages and so on.
Please follow the IG account @Kointer during this period in order to get updates, status messages , and information on highlights. However, it's most important that you tag all picures with #Kointer. In addition, it'd be great if you signed your country code with a second hashtag, i.e. #Kointer_DE for Germany, #Kointer_US for the United States.
Maybe we manage to create the world's biggest party photo docusoap. But anyways, we're gonna have lots of fun and share this with everyone.

World Party Instagrammers – Wir brauchen Eure Hilfe
Es wird ein Experiment und eine große Party. Vom 21. bis 29. Mai 2011 findet in Deutschland die Aktionswoche Alkohol statt – eine Aktion zum maßvollen Umgang mit Alkohol. Wir, das Team von Kointer.de, haben uns etwas Besonderes ausgedacht und hoffen auf weltweite Instagram-Unterstützung.
Kointer.de steht für KODROBS im Internet (Kontakt- und Suchtberatungsstelle im Internet) und ist eine Einrichtung des Hamburger Trägers jugend hilft jugend Hamburg (www.jhj.de). Es ist die erste Suchtberatungsstelle im Internet für Hamburgerinnen und Hamburger.
Was hat das nun mit IG zu tun?
Wir wagen ein Experiment: 42 Stunden im SocialWeb auf den Pfaden des Konsums. Dabei soll es zur Interaktion über Instagram, Foursquare, Twitter, Flickr, Facebook … kommen. Das KOINTER-Team selbst durchstreift in dieser Zeit die Stadt Hamburg und das Netz und interagiert mit diesen, den Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern und den Usern – virtuell und real.
Was wollen wir von Euch?
Das was Ihr so fantastisch könnt – Fotos. Jeder Instagrammer ist eingeladen, vom 27. Mai 12:00 Uhr (jeweilige Ortszeit) bis zum 29. Mai 2011 6:00 Uhr (jeweilige Ortszeit) Fotos zu machen und/oder zu taggen mit Motiven zum Thema Party, Alkohol, Spaß haben – natürlich auch ohne Alkohol – auf jeden Fall das reale Leben ohne erhobenen Zeigefinger. Interessant sind natürlich Bilder von Stimmungen auf den verschiedenen Kontinenten, Partyszenen, Orte, unterschiedliche Getränke und Anlässe etc.
Ihr könnt für diese Zeit dem IG-Account @Kointer folgen, um ggf. Updates zu bekommen und über den Verlauf, Highlights und Statusmeldungen informiert zu werden und natürlich nach dem Event entfolgen, aber am Wichtigsten ist es, dass Ihr alle Bilder mit dem Tag #Kointer verseht. Zusätzlich wäre es klasse, wenn Ihr in einem zweiten Hashtag einen Ländercode angebt, um die Länder zu identifizieren. Also für Deutschland zum Beispiel Kointer_DE, USA Kointer_US etc.
Vielleicht bekommen wir die größte Party-Foto-Doku-Soap hin, die die Welt je gesehen hat, oder dass wir zumindest ganz viel Spaß haben und das jedem zeigen.
