SRT has released images of their new Viper badge. I find it too busy to be "read" at very small sizes, and a bit cartoony, so I did a slight redesign.
I am not sure if this is meant to mean something in particular, or is just a random modification of the name.
A series of photos taken in and around the Wholesale District of Downtown Los Angeles, CA. This series attempts to create a portrait of the area through an examination of the architecture and other man-made "modifications" to the area.
left side is the "before" version and the right side is after reshaping. Proof that SR seatposts don't have to be ugly!

NORTH AMERICAN B-25J MITCHELL
SERIAL NUMBER 43-27712
Current Markings: 11th Air Force, 1944
The B-25 is perhaps the most successful American medium bomber of World War it. It served in every theater of the war, with all branches of the U.S. military and with several allied air forces. It is most famous as the type of aircraft flown by the Doolittle Raiders from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet in early 1942. B-25s served as both traditional bombers and as gunships with large numbers of machine guns, and in one version a 75mm cannon in the nose. The B-25J returned to the standard "glass" nose for use as a bomber. However, many were converted to a "solid" gunship nose and used for very low level attacks. The Mitchell continued to serve in the US. Air Force until as late as 1960 as staff transports and trainers.
This B-25 was built by North American Aviation, Kansas City, Kansas and delivered to the Army Air Forces on April 11, 1944. After modifications it was assigned in June to the 11th Air Force in Alaska. According to the 11th Air Force historian's office it served with the 28th Bomb Group, 77th Bomb Squadron at Lexi Point Field on the island of Attu. However, other evidence including the memories of Brigadier General Harry A. Johnson indicates that he appropriated the aircraft for use as his personal transport. During the summer of 1944, the same time that this 8-25 arrived in Alaska, Johnson arrived as commanding general of the 11th Air Force Service Command. He later became Deputy Commander for Operations 11th Air Force and Commanding Officer of the Advanced Command Post Headquarters in the Aleutian Islands operating against Japanese forces in the Kurile Islands. The photograph here shows this B-25 in Alaska with the Army Airways Communications System insignia painted on the nose and no armament.

Test 1: Trying to scale up Saartje's Bootees for my 4-year-old goddaughter. Knit in the round on 2 circular needles. I took the photo while it was blocking, before the buttons were sewn on.
Left hand side iron bar, the hole to the left was going to give me some issues, I knew that, but i couldn't be unmanageable.

Exploring Photography: This week's topic is "Edited".
My camera takes poor photographs when the light is low....such as at dusk.
This was such am amazing surreal sunset with the rural colors of the dry grass along the dirt road , the vivid saturated green of the cane field , the layered haziness of the mountains in the background, against a pastel sunset. Its was so contradictory that I tried to capture it.
This is the edited version. Its still does not do it justice because you can't see the true tone of the grass.
I tried all the setting I could find on my 'point and shoot' camera, but nope. Low light does not produce the best image.
My camera is a Canon digital IXUS55
The original is along side this picture. It is very dark yet in reality you could still all the colors. I can't wait until I can afford a wacky-do SLR camera that I have more control of the amount of light I can allow in.
Anyway, this is an example of 'edited'. Steps I took to attempt to bring up the true colors I saw.
resize; levels; hue/saturation/lightness; layers and spot editing; sharpen
Timer metal base is lain on top of condiment cup to see how it fits there. Good size match and can be glued together or bonded with JB Weld... or even screwed together.
The two front cutouts are to make it possible to use the idle up and the the throttle hold switches on the radio.
I plan to use this body for a character who's not particularly athletic. So I shaved off a bit of bulk from her shoulders. The tricky part was guessing when to stop before opening holes on her deltoids...
My friend Conal cutting the sway bar from my 1992 Jetta. The mount was broken on the passenger-side swing arm, so we decided to cut it out entirely. There'll be a strut brace added after we're done working on the engine to reclaim some of the rigidity. You can see his highly effective safety equipment right below the blade.
