A later model of Zero, restored and repainted to represent one of those which attacked Pearl Harbor.
The Zero, built for speed and maneuverability, flew metaphorical circles around the more powerful, but heavier and slower American planes in early clashes. Within a few years, however, American tactical and technological advances destroyed the Japanese advantage; new versions of the Zero were used later in the war, but the essentially obsolete concept was never fully replaced with something new, innovative, and better.
Glory be: Street Fighter V has now got a Versus CPU mode… and also a new character, and some Daily Targets, and various miscellaneous improvements.

I tended to like drawing fighter aircraft, because the big ships were always a challenge to me. I think it's because I could understand what everything on a fighter did, having spent hours trying to figure out duct routing for the jets and so on. This is one I drew probably in the 11th or 12th grade, after I had finally broken free of graph paper and straight edges. I'm showing an improved grasp of shading and form, though it's still very planar.
In terms of influences, it's hard to say...probably a bit of Macross and long-standing conventions I'd developed. The raked-back antenna behind the cockpit, the shape of the tail, and the wing placement are pretty standard.
Oh, I just remembered that this was one of the first ships I purposely had "leaning forward" a bit because it looked more aggressive! I would have to adjust the angle of attack of the main wing though to make this work for real.

This is the Navy jet that came screaming around the Eureka Dunes in Death Valley. I'm standing only about 1/3 of the way up the 800' dunes, and he flew by just above my elevation. They're travelling near the speed of sound so you get very little warning before they're right on top of you.
The dunes are toward the lower right of this shot, and you can see his shadow about to pass through the campground below. Visiting from the nearby China Lake Naval Weapons Center, he's probably practice targeting the vehicles... we just have to hope that they remember when they're carrying live munitions!
Beautiful Bullmark Triple Fighter. Stands approx. 12" tall. I think this guy originally had a helmet but I like him just the way he is. He was filled with pipe cleaners at one time but they have long since crumbled into dust and that same dust is still inside the figure. Love this guy not only because I love clear vinyl figures but also because he has that worn, played with, feel to him like some sort of old arifact that has just been unearthed from the ground after many years. Colors are also amazing!
I read this in the online Guardian..... a comment piece around the urinating Marines in Afghanistan:
"Right from the start, you could argue, war photography was disreputable, a dirty business, tainted by voyeurism. The desire to see the dead of battle was starkly served by Brady. Since then, war photography has become a profession, even an art, regulated unofficially by editors' decisions of what is and is not to be shown â but the voyeuristic impulse is still there in our appetite for photographs of war."

This Guardian piece rather muddles war photography with urinating on dead Taliban fighters..... It's depressing....... Photographers need to be clear photography is not abuse.... yeah lets say it...... " It is not abuse to make photographs "....... It really is not ....... Opinion formers are making photography into abuse ...... even serious photojournalism ....... This article muddles the abuses that participants in wars are committing with the photography that photojournalists make during those wars .......... This is part of an ongoing trend that positions photography as abuse ....... this thought process is particularly developed in Britain ..... I think we should not join in with any of this ....... In fact, we should stand together against it ...... photographers should be less keen to denigrate paparazzi or TV crews and other media ... we only assist others to push their agenda that all photography is abuse .... how does that thing go? When they came for the paps I did nothing because I was not a pap....?

Am 23. July 2011 wurde der erste Weltrekord durch eine Fahrt mit einem RC-Car auf öffentlichen Straßen von Frankfurt nach Sonneberg erarbeitet. Das Team von MZ-Modellbau fur mit einem "Tamiya Dersert Gator" 269.7 km in knapp 15 Stunden.
An experimental fighter created to test new propulsion designs. Rather than having a single main engine, with maneuvering controlled by thrusters around the fighter, the thrusters are directly used for main propulsion, which allows for more precise flying and lower fuel consumption.
The result of my WIP fighter design from a few weeks ago. Unfortunately the back isn't very stable and breaks apart very easily, because of difficulties in making the parts connect properly.
