Fireman's Fountain A beautiful memorial to fallen fighters throughout Kansas City’s history, the Firefighters Fountain is located north of Country Club Plaza at 31st and Broadway. This construction and planning of this fountain was a result of a tragic event that occurred in 1988.
On November 29th, 1988, early in the morning, fire trucks were sent to a burning pickup truck at a construction site. They had been warned that there could be construction-related explosives at the site, but they were not aware that most of the explosives were inside the trailers located close to the burning truck. Six firefighters were killed instantly when the fire from the truck blew up the trailers.
This was a tragedy that was felt all through the city. An investigation of the fire revealed that it was arson causing the initial fire. The arsonists were involved in a dispute with the construction company.
A plan was then formed to honor all of the fallen firefighters that had served the city. It was only proper, in the city of fountains, to create a fountain to honor these fallen heroes. This project was funded by the Kansas City Parks Development, as well as through private donations.
The fountain was sculpted by Tom Corbin based upon the conceptual design of a local artist named Byron Gash. Larkin Aquatics created the fountain design . The city held a competition to determine who would design the bronze sculptures that would be the focal point of the fountain. Sculptor Tom Corbin won the competition; his work can be seen in several other fountains in the city.
The fountain features two large bronze firemen pointing a hose, surrounded by a basin on water that is 80 feet in diameter. This fountain holds 76,000 gallons of water, making it one of the largest in the city. The nozzles features on the fountain are from real fire hoses used on trucks, creating a stunning water spray, resembling water being sprayed from the hoses of fire trucks.

A versatile ship designed to take down fighters and small frigates. Center section rotates. Carries 4 small nukes.
This is Bandai Juukou B-Fighter Blue Beet released in 1995 made in Japan. It is over 12 inches tall and I bought it as a junk for next to nothing with full of dust and inoperable eye beams and sound gimmick and such. However, when I received it, I cleaned it and fix the problem and now it works fine (working eye beam that blinks and sound effect) and it looks clean. I feel good!
I kind of like this view. It looks kind of dangerous even if you can't see the giant guns underneath.
2nD Round FBTB Alphabet Fighter Moc Madness T Fighter.
After barely escaping imperial fleest with the old Z-AV, Kass Mothma realized that he needed more speed and better control, with that in mind he decided to do some modifications to it, to keep it lightweight, the laser canon had been removed and replaced with 4 homing ion missiles and laser turrets, for better control wings were added, and for more speed a much powerful central engine installed along with maneuver assist engines at the end of the wings for a much needed agilty and renamed the fighter T-AG for its shape an agility.
I've recently updated my website and put in a new section with cage fighter portraits which I've been doing for the last five years at The Olympia.

I actually had to turn off the flash on my camera. I'm pretty sure I could get sunburn if I stuck my hand in there for too long :P
the Cutlass was an early American carrier based jet fighter aircraft that unfortunately didn't perform as well as it looked. Looking incredibly modern for the early 50s and taking advantage of German wartime experimentation, it was perhaps too advanced for the available technology of the period, was underpowered and was especially difficult to handle on approach due to its high angle of attack. Unsurprisingly it did not last long in service and was after only a few years replaced by the Corsair.
More posterboard badness, woo. I always try to add a bunch of stuff to the bottom and back of my builds as if it were a real thing. It makes me feel better even if it's rarely seen.

For pjlego.
This pic is really grainy. I think I captured way too much noise when I took some of thes pics. I think I had the F stop set too high. Or something else that sounds smart.
I might make some minor changes but it's largely done. Any suggestions would be appreciated as this is probably my first successful fighter.
My only complaint about the Lumix GF-1 is how it preferred to focus on people taking photos of the Foo Fighters rather than the Foo Fighters themselves.

Another one from the workshop we did at a local boxing gym this weekend.
This one in color to contrast my earlier black & white shot. Unlike the B&W version this one's been through Photoshop extensively. I made the mistake (for me) of shooting in B&W in camera so the previews I was looking at on the back of the camera had the background being nearly 100% blacked out. When I saw the original RAW files on my PC the background was nowhere near black so I had to spend a lot of time trying to get rid of the clutter. Not being very good at Photoshop, this exercise took me a while.
