Here is what a painted head cast of the Fifield Monster (Prometheus - 1:18 scale) looks like straight out of the mold after casting the Smooth-On Crystal Clear 3000 membrane around it. Very rough and will need some TLC once the casting material cures completely (still has several hours to harden). Will also need additional paint work to dumb down areas that have become glossy due to the cast application. #prometheus #fifield #smoothon #crystalclear300 #casting #painting #ilikerocks
A follow-up on the progress to the Warrior Alien head sculpt. ALIENS 86 - 1:18 scale. Some smart phone shots showing the sculpt from several angles - still a work in progress. Should have it complete tonight.
The torso you see here will be a total re-sculpt....presently it's a casting from the Revoltech figure. Helps with scaling/proportion. The lower abdomen piece however is a cast of an original sculpt from my 79 Alien. I can get away with using it for the Warrior but the upper torso will be a complete, original re-sculpt as I hate borrowing parts when I have the ability to create them myself these days....
If you have the ability and time, sculpt it.
I still have to borrow articulated joints and extremities such as hands from time to time...especially with the human figures, but when I can sculpt it myself I will do so...
...and with the Warrior alien finally moving forward, others are sure to follow...Ripley, Marines, Newt, Burke, Bishop.....Queen(cough,cough)....
This photograph was in an unmarked album of 150 photos. Only five photographs were dated—three copies of the same image of Janice Dawe in a sled from 3 April 1920 (she would have been two weeks shy of one year old,) one from Bear Brook New Hampshire dated March 1922, and the last from Northwood New Hampshire on 22 May 1922. Excepting the 1920 picture, the images all appear to be from around 1922 and are centered on the Stuart Guy Fifield family.

Gram Fifield, and her husband, Edward, were foster parents for my Great-grandmother Rose Ella Andrews after her father died in the Civil War and her mother died soon after. My maternal grandparents saw I was interested in old photos and gave me Gram Fifield's album.
In the 1960s, when I got this album, my mother told me that the Serious Young Woman possibly had been named "Ellen Wood." I know nothing of Ellen Wood, if that is who she is.

Plenty of pulpwood to be moved here. I sure wish the CN would load elsewhere on the line. The only other consistent pulpwood loadout is in Ashland.
Fyodor and David Fifield do a live demo of the NMAP Scripting Engine on a large global software company with 1 million IPs and 70k+ servers and are surprised to discover they have root on a misconfigured server which enumerates a list of employees and usernames (ex "Bossman" and "TShirtHo"), shared drives, and even printer toner levels.
Here Fyodor is modifying the server to close the security hole while a goon stands by to fend off audience members rushing the stage to see the full source code of the company's animated clipart avatar.

North nave window at Burton Hastings, installed in 2001 and designed by local artist Roger Fifield.
Fifiled's work makes a very attractive contemporary adition to this ancient building, and is beautifully painted and stylised, echoing his earliest work from the 1960s, without looking backwards.
The subject appears to be a celebration of village life, with various landmark buildings and elements of the village featured without any obvious religious theme (beyond the small dove in the tracery light above).
This formula for stained glass seems to be popular with certain congregations, who prefer to commemorate 'down-to-earth' subjects of mainly local, secular relevance, than convey a spiritual message. The artist is then given a 'shopping list' of relevant features to include in the design at all cost!

Doug Debs on Train Orders commented:
Note the 3rd rail for the narrow gauge to Santa Cruz. Photo is dated 1905. Standard gauging was underway on the mountain. IIRC the changeover to all-standard-gauge operation was supposed to be April 18, 1906, which happened to be the day of the Great Earthquake [and subsequent fire in San Francisco].
Ed Gibson on Train Orders commented:
Quite possibly, the occasion may have been the first regular run of a standard gauge passenger train to Los Gatos. I haven't been able to nail down the exact date, but I believe that this occurred in 1905.
Gents in the photo:
Engineer W. H. Thompson, SP seniority date 9-10-1901
Engineer W. G. Fifield [not Field], SP seniority date 5-28-1903
Fireman W. Labish, no record
The two engineers were quite young in seniority, too young to hold down regular passenger runs under normal circumstances, so they may have been extra men or recent transfers from SPC that held prior rights seniority on the territory.

Bishopstone is a civil parish in Wiltshire, England, one of the villages in the River Ebble valley. It is located about 6 miles (9.7 km) south-west of Salisbury. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 614.
The church of St John the Baptist in Bishopstone is a large cruciform church with a perpendicular central tower. There are several monuments outside. By the south transept, a small stone cloister of two vaulted bays shelters a decorated tomb chest, perhaps that of the founder of the church. In the north transept is another richly decorated tomb recess, with stone coffin-lids, and in the south transept a mid-19th-century Gothic monument to a former rector by A. W. Pugin. At one time, above this was a window designed by Pugin and executed by William Wailes. This has since been replaced by clear glass.[citation needed]
Origins[edit]
It is not known when Bishopstone was first inhabited or what it was called but fragmentary records from Saxon times indicate that the whole Chalke Valley area was thriving. It is surmised that the village was originally known as Eblesborne, but by 1166 it had been acquired by the See of Winchester and was known as Bissopeston. It is also surmised that Eblesborne meant that the land and the burna (river) was once owned by a man called Ebbel.[2]
The village of Eblesborne is mentioned by historian Michael Wood in his book Domesday, a Search for the Roots of England because in 902 the Bishop of Winchester leased an estate in 'Ebbesbourne' to Beornwulf at a rent of 45/- a year.[2] In the book Ebbesbourne Wake through the Ages Peter Meers states that this reference was about Bishopstone, not Ebbesborne Wake.[2]
The Domesday Book in 1086 divided the Chalke Valley into eight manors, Chelke (Chalke - Broad Chalke and Bowerchalke), Eblesborne (Ebbesbourne Wake), Fifehide (Fifield), Cumbe (Coombe Bissett), Humitone (Homington), Odestoche (Odstock), Stradford (Stratford Tony and Bishopstone) and Trow (circa Alvediston and Tollard Royal).[2]

The trip to Ashland was not meant to be, it would seem Thursday remains the day for that. Instead the local headed south with cars fresh from the Flambeau mill also pausing at Fifield to pick up 6 loaded lengths of logs. Seen rolling through Phillips there wouldn't be any switching required here. May 27, 2015.
I love the lines and the angles and the shapes of this simple abd functional bridge.

On the occasion of an Industrial Railway Society visit to David Buck's private railway at Fifield, near Windsor on 31st May 2024; Peckett 0-4-0 saddle tank 'Hornpipe' (Works No.1756 built in 1928) with a former GWR open wagon and brake van, and Andrew Barclay 0-4-0 saddle tank 'Swanscombe' (Works No.699 built in 1891), the oldest surviving locomotive in the UK from this builder, both working the standard gauge circuit. 'Hornpipe' saw use at Snodland Cement Works in Kent before being purchased for preservation at Quainton Road in 1971, then moving to Fifield in 1986. 'Swanscombe' was delivered new to Northfleet Coal & Ballast Co. in Kent, and was transferred to new quarries and wharves at Thurrock in 1921. It was purchased for preservation at Quainton Road in 1965 and was moved to Fifield in 2022. It was repainted into Metropolitan livery to play the part of 'Brill No.1' as part of the London Transport 150 celebrations.

Flying Officer Aroha Fifield

The Minister Assisting the Minister for Defence, Bruce Scott, said today two women had completed an intensive training course to become the first female officers in the Royal Australian Air Force to graduate to fast jets.
Flying Officer Brooke Chivers and Pilot Officer Aroha Fifield have earned their brevets as navigators in the RAAF’s frontline F 111 squadrons at the Amberley base near Ipswich in south-east Queensland.
Mr Scott said the women’s graduation as F111 navigators signalled a major milestone for the RAAF and the opportunities now available to females in today’s modern Defence Force.
He said the two women should be very proud of their status within the RAAF’s aircrews as fast Jet training was the most difficult in military aviation.
"Flying Officer Chivers, Pilot Officer Fifield and their four male colleagues from this latest F 111 conversion course face a major responsibility flying the F 111 strike aircraft and join a dedicated and professional team at Amberley which fly, maintain and support these high-tech aircraft, he said.
This milestone illustrates the many opportunities available to women in the Australian Defence Force and their increasingly important contribution to the Servrces.
‘In fact, only a few months ago another woman, Air Commodore Julie Hammer, became the first female officer to be promoted to an air’ rank in the history of the RAAF and a one star general in the ADF.
Mr Scott said although the ADE had had female pilots and navigators for several years, this was the first time women had joined what is termed the ‘fast jet’ stream of military aviation in the ADF.
He said more women were showing interest in a flying career with the Defence Force and there were now about 25 female pilots and navigators in the ADE with another dozen in training.

The Sevona was a steamboat that sank in Lake Superior off the coast of Sand Island in Bayfield County, Wisconsin, United States. The wreckage site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993
The Sevona, originally named the Emily P. Weed, launched in 1890. She was renamed the Sevona in 1897.
On September 1, 1905 Sevona left Allouez, Wisconsin. She was bound for Erie, Pennsylvania and was carrying cargo made up of iron ore and a crew of twenty men and four women. Later that night, an unexpected storm hit the area. By midnight, the wind had reached gale-level strengths. At around 6:00 AM on the morning of September 2, the Sevona ran aground on a shoal, breaking the ship in half. No other vessel was in the area to aid the Sevona, so the crew at the stern of the ship boarded the lifeboats. The crew at the bow, separated from the lifeboats, were forced to construct a raft out of hatch covers and doors. All crew members on the makeshift raft later lost their lives in the storm. Three other vessels, including the Pretoria, were lost in the storm.
In 1909, the wreckage was blown up with dynamite by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, who were concerned about navigation hazards the wreckage could cause. Several parts of the ship were recovered and brought to shore following the explosion, but what was left would become a popular site for scuba diving. The site is managed jointly by the Wisconsin Historical Society, the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
Sam Fifield, a former Lieutenant governor of Wisconsin, had a summer resort on Sand Island, and salvaged some of the wreckage of the Sevona. With this material, he built a house on Sand Island, and named it the Sevona Memorial Cottage. The house still stands today, and has undergone some preservation work over the years.
This is a gem photo from Hester Ann Ellingwood Fifield (1820-1895)'s Album.
"A 'gem'; is a small photographic image usually anywhere from 3/4" to 1" wide and 1¼" high made possible by the use of a multi-lens camera with repeating back which therefore could produce multiple exposures on a single photographic plate. In terms of quantity, the gem was the most prolifically produced form of photograph in the 1860s in America...." -- Marcel Safier, Brisbane, Australia via an Internet Search.

Artist's Biography
"Artistic commitment is for me a way of life, a continuation of a family's history. An invaluable part of my Appalachian heritage is our family's tradition of craftsmanship. Generations of women in my family have made handwork an integral part of the daily rhythm of life. Twenty years of experimentation with various on and off loom bead weaving techniques has allowed my skills to mature. I've developed a distinctive individual style. Working with glass 'seed' beads, using an ancient netting stitch, I create beaded basket/vessels, the primary focus of my work. These vessels have increased in size and complexity over the past eight years. Working on a lathe, I turn wooden vessels to be covered with precise, intricate stitches incorporating miniscule glass beads. The completed works are visually rich, enticingly tactile and a pleasure to contemplate. The skill, patience and commitment necessary to create these beaded /vessel forms is the sustenance of my creative life."
"Un engagement artistique est pour moi un mode de vie, la suite d'une histoire familiale. Une inestimable partie de mon héritage appalachien est une tradition de notre famille quant à la dextérité manuelle. Des générations de femmes dans ma famille ont fait des travaux manuels une partie intégrale de leur rythme de vie quotidien. Vingt ans d'expérience avec diverses techniques de tissage m'ont permis d'améliorer mes habiletés. J'ai développé un style individuel bien distinctif. Travaillant avec des "grains" de perles de verre, utilisant une ancienne méthode de couture, j'ai confectionné des paniers perlés/navires, le premier point dans mon travail. Ces navires ont augmenté en grosseur et complexité depuis les huit dernières années. Travaillant sur un touret à polir, je transforme des navires de bois pour qu'ils soient recouverts avec des coutures précises et complexes, ajoutant de minuscules perles de verre. Les oeuvres complétées sont visuellement riches, attrayantes et tactiles et sont un plaisir à regarder. L'habileté, la patience et le dévouement nécessaire pour créer ces formes perlées/navires est la subsistance même de ma vie créative."

I suspect this tintype is post-Civil War due to the absence of Civil War tax stamps on its back.
