song - Babe i'm gonna leave you
The plastic shutter of my Big shot was beyond repair so I replaced it with a press type leaf shutter from an oscilloscope camera.
I kept is the single element plastic lens .
Distance from film plane is almost the same so only a small change in RF calibration is necessary.
The shutter is capable of various speeds but I'll leave it at 1/15s The aperture is adjustable for L/D correction.
With the plastic nosecone in place there will be little difference except the cable release thread where the red lever used to be. The shutter has an X-sync contact so I can mount an electronic flash where the Magicube used to be.

The Messerschmitt Me 510 was a further development of the Me 410 Hornisse ("Hornet"), a German heavy fighter and Schnellbomber used by the Luftwaffe during World War II. The 410 itself had a troubled start, because it essentially had only been a straightforward modification of the Me 210, which had suffered from serious stability flaws and had a bad reputation among its crews.
The 410 handled bettr but did not show much improvement in performance, though. Me 410 deliveries began in January 1943, two years later than the original plan had called for, and continued until September 1944, by which point a total of 1.160 of all versions had been produced by Messerschmitt Augsburg and Dornier München. When it arrived, it was liked by its crews, even though its performance was not enough to protect it from the swarms of high performance allied fighters they faced.
Still not giving up on the original construction (and with the jigs and tools still available), Messerschmitt started in early 1944 with research into further means of improving the Me 410's performance. One direction was the addition of one or two jets under the fuselage as boosters for combat situations.
Another design path, which eventually led to the Me 510, was the development of turboprop and compound engines as propulsion options, which were based on the respective pure jet engines but offered much better performance and fuel economy than the pure jets. It would also be the more efficient solution compared to added turbojets for pure piston planes, since no dead weight had to be carried, and the overall system was less complex than a mixed powerplant system.
This turboprop concept, as best compromise between performance and short-term readiness for service, was chosen and the modified aircraft, called Messerschmitt Me 510, came to be. The design target was to outperform the Me 410 with as little change to the overall construction as possible, so that old tooling could be used for new aircraft cells. Alternatively, old aircraft should potentially be converted to the improved standard.
Core of the new development was the compact HeS 021 turboprop, a PTL development of the HeS 011 jet engine which was also planned for Focke Wulfs FW P.0310226-127 fighter (a turboprop version of the light 'Flitzer' day fighter). This engine was theoretically to deliver up to 3.300hp (2.426 kw) shaft output, plus 1.100kg (2.424 lb) additional thrust, even though serial types would produce less power under the aspect of reliability.
In order to incorporate this engine into the modified Me 410 a new main wing with laminar profile and new engine nacelles had to be designed. The HeS 021sat in the front part of the engine nacelles above the wings, driving four-bladed propellers. The landing gear retracted into the nacelle's lower section, rotating 90°, much like the Me 410, with the exhaust running above the landing gear wells.
In order to improve directional stability further, the tail surfaces were slightly enlarged, receiving characteristic, square tips. The fuselage was more or less taken from the original Me 410, since it offered a very good field of view and appropriate aerodynamics. With this package, the idea of retrofitting former Me 410 cells was kept, even though later flight tests showed that some more detail modifications had to be made. Most of these concerned the internal structures, the most obvious external change was the nose section, where the original glazing had to be reinforced and finally replaced by solid material – an experience similar to the modification from Douglas’ piston-driven XB-42 to the faster, jet-driven XB-43 of the same era.
Maiden flight of the first prototype took place in Augsburg on 6th of May 1945, with little problems. As benchmark, the Me 410's maximum speed was 625 km/h (388 mph), a cruise speed of 579 km/h (360 mph) and a combat range of 2.300 km (1,400 mi) with up to 1.000 kg (2,204 lbs) of disposable stores carried in- and externally.
The overall flying characteristics of the Me 410 did not change much, but rate of climb and top speed were considerably improved. In level flight, the third prototype Me 510 V3 reached a top speed of 812 km/h (504 mph), and even the serial version with added armament and equipment easily reached 750 km/h (465 mph) top speed and a cruising speed with no external stores of 650 km/h (405 mph). At its time, the Me 510, which quickly received the rather inofficial nickname "Bremse" (Horsefly), was superior to its pure piston engine and turbojet rivals, even though it was clear that the turboprop was only a preliminary solution.
Due to its high speed and under the pressure of Allied bomber raids, the Me 510 was primarily used as a Zerstörer against daylight bombers. Many aircraft received additional weapons, both directly incorporated at the factory but also as field accessories. Popular modifications included two extra 30mm guns (MK 108 or 103) in the bomb bay, or provisions for guided and unguided air to air missiles. A camera equipment package (Rüstsatz 'U3') allowed the fast aircraft to be used for daylight reconnaissance.
Many equipment packages from the earlier Me 410 could be fitted, too, including the massive 50mm BK 5 auto cannon against allied bomber groups. Initially, this package (‘U4’ Rüstsatz) comprised the original autocannon which fired at 45 RPM, with 21 shells in a drum magazine.
This weapon soon was replaced by the even more effective MK 214 B gun of 55mm caliber (Rüstsatz 'U5'). The BK 214 B fired at 180 RPM and proved to be a highly effective weapon at long ranges, outside of the bombers’ defensive armament range. As a drawback the heavy system (the gun plus the ammunition belt with 96 shells weighed 1.124 kg/2.475 lb) filled the whole internal bomb bay and precluded heavy external stores. Therefore, the 13mm machine guns in the nose were frequently removed in order to save weight, sometimes the weapons in the side barbettes, too. But: a single hit with one of the 1.54kg (3.4 lb) shells was enough to bring down a four-engined bomber, so that the fast Me 510 with this weapon became a serious threat in the course of late 1946.

In the field, many modifications were made and several additional weapon packages with guns, guided and unguided missiles or special weapons were available (so-called ‘Rüstsätze’).
The kit and its assembly:
I am not certain when inspiration struck me for this fantasy aircraft - I guess it was when I tinkered together the Hü 324 whif, which was itself based on a 1:72 scale Il-28 bomber. When I browsed for a respective donation kit I also came across the 1:100 scale kit of the Soviet light bomber from Tamiya, and that stirred something: The Il-28's vintage contours would perfectly suit a Luft '46 aircraft, and with some calculations it was clear that the 1:100 wings would be suitable for something in the class of a 1:72 DH Mosquito or Bf 110. Then, the ill-fated Me 410 came to the scene as a potential late war basis aircraft, and from this starting point the idea of an evolutionary next step of the type, the Messerschmitt Me 510, was born.
Basically this model is a kitbashing of a Tamiya Il-28 in 1:100 (wings & engine nacelles) and the fuselage of a Matchbox Me 410. The IL-28's wings were turned upside down, so that the nacelles would now ride on the wings' top.
This not only looks cool and 'different', it's also plausible because the landing gear could retract into the wings under the nacelles (with the main landing gear doors closed, just like the original Me 410), it would also reduce the angle of the aircraft on the ground to a sensible degree - with the engines under the wings plus the landing gear would have been much to steep!
Fitting the wings to the fuselage was pretty easy, even though the original Me 410 wing profile was much thicker than the slender Il-28 wings. Cleaning and blending the wing root areas was a bit tricky, but the parts get together well.
As a design twist and for a uniform look I also replaced the whole tail section, matching the angular look of the thin new main wings. The horizontal stabilizers are wing tips from a Matchbox Me 262, the vertical fin is a modified outer wing part from a Matchbox Grumman Panther.
The engine nacelles were taken OOB. I just filled the Il-28's landing gear wells and their covers with putty, since they'd end on top of the new engines.
The propellers come from Matchbox P-51 Mustangs, outfitted with pointed spinners and held by a metal pin in a polystyrene tube which runs through the original intake splitter. Looks pretty martial, even though the nacelles ended up a bit close to the fuselage. The overall look reminds of the Short Sturgeon, but is not inplausible. A compact aircraft!
The cockpit received some side panels, news seats and some equipment, since the original Matchbox kit features almost nothing beyond a floor plate, two broad benches as seats and pilot figures. I also opened the cockpit hatches, since the aircraft would be built for ground display, with the landing gear extended.
From the original kit the BK 5 cannon installation was taken over, but I added a scratch-built, bigger muzzle brake. Since the aircraft was to become a high speed interceptor/Zerstörer for daylight operations, I did not add any further external ordnance.
Painting and markings:
I pondered about a potential livery for a long time. Almost any Me 410 was delivered in RLM 74/75/76 livery, and some at the Western front in France were operated in RLM 70/71/65, with a low waterline. But I found this pretty... boring. So I made up a fantasy livery which I found suitable for high altitude operations and based on my knowledge of late Luftwaffe paint scheme - pretty complex:
The aircraft was to be light in color, primarily camouflaged for aerial combat. I ended up with something that was planned as something that could have almost been called 'low-viz': all lower surfaces received a basic tone of RLM 76 (from Testors), with a raised waterline on all flanks. This light blue-grey would blend into a slightly darker FS 36320 on the higher flanks, almost up to the upper surfaces.
But in the end, the flanks received more spots than intended, and I ended up with a rather conservative livery - but it ain't bad at all. But so it goes...
The upper wing surfaces received a wavy scheme in RLM 71 (Drak Green) and 75 (Middel Grey). These are not typical late war colors, I rather used them due to the lighter shades. On the fuselage, just the fuselage crest was painted with more or less dense blotches of these tones, blending into more patches of RLM 02 on the flanks.
To add some more unconventional detail, the fuselage sides and undersides also received large, cloudy patches of RLM 77 - a very light grey. This detail was featured on some late-war He 177 bombers, but you can hardly tell these extra blotches because they have only little contrast to the RLM 76.
The tail fin was painted all white - a formation sign for a squadron leader, typical for German late WWII fighters. The black and white fuselage stripe is the ID of Jagdgeschwader 26 (which operated Fw 190D-9 from airfields in northern Germany, Flensburg was one of them), the red number abd the "+" code identify the machine as being part of the eighth Staffel.
In the end, a very subtle whif. The new engines are most obvious, and they change the look of the Me 410 dramatically. But only on second glance you recognize the other changes. The new wings/stabilizers with their square-shaped tips create a very slender and elegant look, the aircraft just looks fast and agile like a true heavy fighter should. Mission accomplished!

Inexpensive socket head crank bolts with integrated black plastic thread covers have been around for decades. These bolts accept a 8mm Allen wrench. The threads of all square tapered axles are a standard metric size so these bolts can be used on any cranks. And with the snap-on thread cover sleeves there was no need for a separate dust cover. A great idea. However, I always thought they looked bad on vintage cranks. So, I removed the black plastic sleeve from one pair and painted them with a "Bright Coat Metallic Finish" aerosol enamel from Rust-oleum. Not a true chrome like finish, but even after a single coating, to my eye it is much less distracting and a nice compliment to the non-anodized crankset. Further paint applications would likely produce a more shiny finish. Durability of the paint on this plastic base is questionable, but I am pleased with the initial result. Next photo shows better how this now almost disappears on the bike.
The modification to accommodate 9 modules involves the changing of the angle of just one fold. The angles in the previous 5 and 7 as well as this 9-Piece variation are just a close estimate. Therefore, during the initial assembling of the modules, the centre "hole" of the model is not regular. The Modules can be adjusted to form a regular hole in the centre by simply inserting a finger through it and give the model a little spin. 7.5cm squares Kami are used for folding the modules. Up to 12 Modules can be assembled simply by changing the angle of just one fold to the module. I will post the rest later. Many thanks to Andrey Hechuev for sharing this excellent modular.
No diagrams for my modification of the modules but video tutorial of the original 8-Piece New-Found Hope Star is posted here -
Based on the amazing Micro-Model designed by master builder Mariann Asanuma for Brickjournal
Ignoring the elegant lines of Mariann's model, I made a few tweaks to the design, extending the roof and adding a chimney. I also gave a bigger hat to the snowman, 'cause I'm a rebel like that.
Oh, and I changed the door to red-and-green and used a 1x1 red plate to create a wee little doorknob.

Nothing you see here is real, even though the model, the conversion or the presented background story might be based historical facts. BEWARE!
Some background:
In 1935, the German Reich Air Ministry (RLM, Reichsluftfahrtministerium) produced a requirement for a twin engined general purpose floatplane, suitable for patrol and for anti-shipping strikes with bombs and torpedoes. Proposals were received from Heinkel Flugzeugwerke and from the Blohm & Voss aircraft subsidiary Hamburger Flugzeugbau. On 1 November 1935, orders were placed with Heinkel and Hamburger Flugzeugbau for three prototypes each of their prospective designs, the He 115 and the Ha 140.
The first prototype Heinkel flew in August 1937, testing was successful and the He 115 design was selected over the Ha 140 early in 1938, leading to an order for another prototype and 10 pre-production aircraft. The first prototype was used to set a series of international records for floatplanes over 1,000 km (620 mi) and 2,000 km (1,200 mi) closed circuits at a speed of 328 km/h (204 mph).
Defensive armament initially consisted of two 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 15 machine guns, one in the nose and one in the dorsal position. Late He 115s were fitted with a fixed forward-firing 15 mm or 20 mm MG 151 cannon and two fixed, rearward-firing 7.92 mm (.312 in) MG 17 machine guns in the engine nacelles.
As main armament, the early He 115 variants carried LTF 5 or LTF 6b torpedoes and SD 500 500 kg (1,100 lb) or SC 250 250 kg (550 lb) bombs. Some also carried LMB III or LMA mines, and later variants could trade fuel for ordnance, so that their range was extended.
At the beginning of the war, the He 115 was used for dropping parachute mines in British waters, normally aiming for narrow passages close to busy ports on the English south coast; the River Thames was also a prime target. Apart from its use as a minelayer and torpedo bomber, the He 115 was used for coastal reconnaissance and by KG 200 to drop agents behind enemy lines.
However, the He 115’s slow speed and relatively light defensive armament remained a constant weakness, and in order to eradicate this flaw, Heinkel proposed in 1939 a new variant with a crew of four (instead of three), considerably more powerful BMW 801 radial engines and an additional weapon station in a ventral position behind the bomb bay.
An initial prototype, called He 115 D-0 and fitted with BMW 801C engines rated at 1,147 kW (1,560 PS) each, was produced in 1940 and successfully field-tested. Especially the new engines made a considerably change: the He 115 D’s top speed rose from a ponderous 327 km/h (203 mph) of the early variants with BMW 132K 9-cylinder radial engines to more than 400 km/h (248) in level flight, and other performance figures were improved. Nevertheless, the additional weapon station did not find approval – it turned out to be obsolete, because instead of more, heavier weapons with a longer range and a higher weight of fire were needed. Additionally, the accommodation for a fourth crew member added much dead weight to the aircraft, so that the whole proposal was regarded as ineffective ans subsequently deleted.
However, in this refined form, the upgraded machine was accepted by the RLM in 1940. He 115 production was not resumed, though, but rather turned into an upgrade program for the fleet of in-service aircraft (He 115 B and C in various sub-versions), leading to a variety of He 115 D variants.
The He 115 D upgrade primarily consisted of engine upgrades, now with BMW 801A engines. For defense, the He 115 D's rear gunner/radio operator became armed with two 13 mm (.51 in) MG 131 machine guns, which replaced his former light MG 17 machine gun as well as the optional fixed machine guns in the rear of the engine fairings, which had proven themselves to be highly ineffective, once enemy pilots had become aware of them. Since the He 115’s narrow body precluded any powered turret on the upper or lower fuselage, the defensive armament was moved to the flanks: Each of the heavy machine guns was fitted into half-teardrop-shaped Ferngerichtete Drehringseitenlafette FDSL 131/1B turrets and mounted on each side of the aircraft. This unusual installation was remote-controlled from the gunner's position in the rear of the glazed cockpit area with a sophisticated gun-aiming setup, and could cover a wide section of the aircraft’s rear hemisphere – even under it, which was a major improvement.
The unit was controlled through a pivoting handgun-style grip, trigger and gunsight at its center, to aim the guns vertically - with both turrets elevating and depressing together when operated - and horizontally, in pivoting each gun separately, outward away from the fuselage side when aimed to one side or the other. Aiming was facilitated through a bifurcated telescopic sight that allowed almost free sight above and below the fuselage in almost any rearward-facing direction. The guns were electrically moved and fired, and an electrical contact breaker acted as a form of "interrupter", as used on many forms of multi-engined, turret-armed WW II aircraft, preventing the gunner from shooting off the He 115’s tail plane.
Another armament improvement for all He 115 D variants consisted of the replacement of the light, nose-mounted MG 17 machine gun with a heavier MG 131. The fixed MG 151/20 cannon under the nose, carried in a fairing in front of the bomb bay, was retained or retrofitted to all D conversions.
Several variants were introduced: The D-1 was the initial, standardized torpedo bomber and mine layer, while the D-2 had reinforced floats and special equipment for operation from ice or snow. The D-3 was a dedicated mine layer. For this special role these machines received enlarged bomb bay doors, so that two parachute-droppable sea mines could be carried instead of just one, exploiting the type’s improved ordnance capacity of 2.000 kg (4.400 lb).
The D-4 variant was a specifically modified version for anti-shipping operations. Some were direct conversions, but many D-1s and D-2s were upgraded to this standard, too, all receiving the new designation.
For its special role, the He 115 D-4 variant was outfitted as a carrier aircraft for the guided Henschel Hs 293 glide bomb and the Hs 294 glide torpedo. Due to its weight and size, only a single Hs 294 could be carried externally under the fuselage, and it was rarely deployed since the weapon’s weight and drag drastically affected the He 115’s handling. The weapon’s deployment was also hazardous, due to the struts under the He 115’s fuselage. The Hs 293 saw more frequent (and successful) use. Theoretically, two Hs 293 bombs could be carried on pylons under each of the reinforced outer wings (which could carry up to 1.000 kg (2.200 lb) each), but, typically, only a single Hs 293 was carried under the starboard wing and a drop tank as counterweight and range compensation for the extra drag under the port wing. Furthermore, the He 115 D-4 was outfitted with either the FuG 203 “Kehl” radio guidance and control transmitter system and a steering console at the bomb aimer’s station, who visually guided the bomb to its target through a simple joystick, or, alternatively, the FuG 203 with its draggy antenna array was replaced by the more reliable FuG 207 “Dortmund” wire guidance system (incl. a spool with 18 km /11 ml of 0.3mm wire attached to the weapon pylon). The respective machines were differentiated by an “a” and “b” suffix.
The final variant that entered service was the D-5, a fast, long-range reconnaissance aircraft. It featured a reduced armor and armament, but carried additional fuel tanks and camera equipment.
Field modifications and other upgrades were also common: Some machines received a manually operated MG 151/20 machine cannon in the nose weapon station instead of the standard MG 131 for a better defense of the front sector, and some machines were upgraded with a MK 103 30 mm machine cannon in a more voluminous fairing under the bomb aimer’s station.
A few D-1 and D-4 machines were also experimentally outfitted with a 37 mm (1.46 in) Bordkanone 3,7 (a.k.a. BK 3,7) with 28 rounds and even a 50mm (1.96 in) MK 214 machine cannon with 22 rounds in a drum magazine in this position – primarily against ship targets, but also against slow Allied patrol bombers, which could be attack out of their defensive weapons’ range.
In total, about 100 He 115 B and Cs were upgraded to the D standard, which was finished by late 1943. The aircraft had its finest moment on anti-shipping operations against Arctic convoys from bases in northern Norway. Because the first convoys lacked air cover, the slow and lightly armed He 115 was less vulnerable than near the English coast. With the appearance of carriers and escort carriers, coupled with new Soviet heavy fighters like the Petlyakov Pe-3bis, Luftwaffe air superiority over the convoys was challenged and losses increased. The remaining He 115 B and Cs were consequently taken out of front line service in 1944 (but still served in search and rescue duties or in covert operations), but some of the He 115 D, esp. the more sophisticated D-4 and D-5 versions, soldiered on until 1945.

The kit and its assembly:
A project I had on the agenda for a long time, even collecting donor parts and kits, but never had the drive to tackle it. But the “Amphibian” GB at whatifmodelers.com in late 2017 gave the impulse to finally build a model of the semi-fictional upgrade of the rather overlooked He 115 floatplane.
The whole thing is not purely fictional, since the BMW 801-powered He 115 D actually existed – but only as a single prototype. However, I wondered if some more upgrades would have been possible, and this led to this model.
The basic kit is Matchbox’ venerable He 115 B/C – a simple affair, but the He 115 is, to be honest, a simple aircraft, slender and big. In my case, it’s a Revell re-boxing, and the dark green styrene, in which it is moulded, turned out to be rather brittle, not making it a truly pleasant build (unlike the light grey styrene Revell frequently uses for the Matchbox re-issues, which is somewhat smoother).
As the only IP alternative there’s just the FROG mould (and, beware, it comes in a Revell re-boxing, too!), but I am not certain if it is anything good at all? The Matchbox kit appears to be a bit more modern, even though it is very, well, simple, and basically goes together well. But it needs attention at every seam, and the nose section is tricky to mount, too.
The model was built mostly OOB, but received some superficial mods and enhancements:
The BMW 801 engine transplants come from an Italeri Do 217 K-1, including the propellers and the engine mounts/adapters. The problem: the diameter of the 14-cylinder engines is markedly smaller than the original 9-cylinder radials, so that the “adapters” had to be used to bridge this difference. But even with this help, some serious sanding and PSR were necessary. Additionally, the BMW 801s are longer than the original engines, and the adapters push them forward even a little more. Thanks to the aircraft’s sheer size, this change of proportions is not too obvious.
The FDSL 131 barbettes were taken from an Italeri/Bilek Me 210 kit, which has been earmarked for a conversion (without them). In order to mount the weapon stations, holes were drilled into the He 115’s flanks and, internally, a construction to hold them in place, made from styrene strips, was added. The periscopic sights above and below the fuselage were scratched from round styrene strips. As a side effect, the original hole in the canopy for the manual machine gun was elegantly covered.
Under the nose, a fairing for the machine cannon was scratched – it consists of sections from an F-14 recce pod. The MK 103’s barrel was scratched from styrene, with an improvised muzzle brake. The manually operated MG 17 in the nose was replaced by a heavy MG 151/20.
The Hs 293 comes from a Revell He 177 A-6, together with its pylon. Just a small fairing (a modified 1:144 F-16 centerline drop tank) was added as a container for the wire spool. The drop tank on the other side is a find from the scrap box (IIRC, it belongs to an ART Model F8F Bearcat), modified with fins to (vaguely) resemble the Luftwaffe’s 900 l drop tanks for the Do 217 (which carried the Hs 293 in a similar fashion).
Under the floats I added scratched ice skids, a suitable upgrade for an aircraft operated in Norway and over the Northern Atlantic.
Inside of the cockpit, a few details were added like a floor for the bomb aimer figure, and some internal structures added (all scratched from cardboard, and styrene strips and bits), plus a rack for the bomb aimer from an Italeri He 111, IIRC. Not much effort was put into this area of the model, since the kit would have its canopies closed, and the many braces on the clear parts would preclude any good view, anyway.
Painting and markings:
Finally a good occasion to apply a scheme that some He 177 bombers, operated over the Atlantic, carried around 1944, consisting of a disruptive pattern of RLM02 greenish grey and (supposedly) dark green RLM 73, with hard edges and a low, hard waterline to light blue undersides.
However, based on the illustrations and a few real world He 177 color pics in that scheme, I rather changed the dark green tone to RLM 72, which is rather a dull, dark greyish olive drab than the bluish RLM 73. The undersides became Lichtblau, RLM 76 – another deliberate choice instead of the typical, brighter RLM 65 for sea-borne aircraft. The upper camouflage was taken around the wings’ leading edges and onto the floats.
The paints come from the different sources: for the RLM 02, I used Revell’s acrylic 45 (which is a tad more olive green and darker than RLM 02), the RLM 72 was approximated with Humbrol 66 (Olive Drab), which IMHO comes very close to the murky German tone. RLM 76 for the undersides comes from the ModelMaster Authentic line.
Due to the sheer size and the complex structure of the aircraft with its floats and the many struts, painting took some time. Everything was painted with brushes, freehanded, only for the waterline on the rear fuselage some tape was used.
After the basis scheme was settled and dry, the kit received a light black ink wash and some panel post-shading with lighter versions of the basic tones, including “pure” RLM 02 (Humbrol 240).
The markings/decals were puzzled together from the scrap box – on the upper surfaces, simplified white crosses with thin outlines were used, almost resulting in a low-viz livery, and the tactical code was created from single letters (TL Modellbau). The “angry penguin” emblem is not really correct, but I thought that it would be a suitable mascot for the aircraft and its theatre of operations.
After that the model received some weathering with dry-brushed light grey on the leading edges and walkway areas. Exhaust soot behind the engines was created with grinded graphite and also some dry-brushing with light grey, simulating burnt areas due to lean fuel mixtures. On the floats I also added a waterline – a frequent sign of wear on the He 115 when it would stay aground/afloat for some time, with a mix of greens and greys.
The interior became RLM 66 (Dark Grey, used Humbrol 67, which is supposed to be that tone), as a typical late-war color instead of the earlier RLM 02 in which the He 115 was originally delivered. Both Hs 293 and the drop tank were painted in RLM 65 (Humbrol 65), as a subtle color contrast to the otherwise rather subdued aircraft.
A relatively subtle conversion, of a rather overlooked (and actually pretty boring) aircraft. Looks more interesting now, I think, and everything that went into the conversion was picked from real life and mixed up for something new.
The longer, slender BMW 801 engines make the aircraft IMHO look more elegant and purposeful, and the barbettes, as well as the bigger guns in general, are a suitable upgrade, too. The Hs 293 might be a little over the top, but for a slightly futuristic Luft ‘46 touch it’s just the ticket – and from an ordnance load perspective it’s even plausible. And, finally, the special paint scheme (which is real, too) just underlines the modernization of the venerable aircraft type for the late 1944 era.
i modified my old LC-A rusian version to have some the feature the LC-A+ has. i added a multiple exposure switch and cable shutter release.
I also added a new rubber skin. it is off an old Pentax slide zoom lens, witch is cool because it the skin if from another camera and it adds great grip too
She suddenly got tired of holding the pinwheel and seemed to come up with a better idea. Though after quickly completing the modification mid-parade she seemed unsure if it was functioning to her expectations
I have been working on a new project for my boy Marcus,
He is getting his demon wings, which are part of his background story.
This is only just the basic frame form of the wings. I will be sculpting them with apoxie soon when I find some more time for it.
modded my 2015 Barbie Dream House to remove the first floor and make it more of a townhouse. next phase will be adding accents and furnishing for a modern look.
I like poster modifications, but not so uncreative and primitive. They should go to an Islamic country or to North Korea, where they have not to see naked flesh.
The other day I took apart a Helios 44m-6 lens to modify so that I can use it on my D90 with the full range of apertures. On the older models (non-M models I believe), you don't have to do this. On the newer models, there is a pin that is pushed in when you take a picture that changes the aperture. If you don't have an adapter that pushes in the pin, you can only shoot wide open, in this case at f2.
If anyone is insane enough out there to want to use an electronic flash with a Box Brownie, here is one way of doing it. This is a Brownie Flash Capacitor which I picked up for 99p. The circuit is basic and made of sturdy brass pieces. It is easy to dismantle and more importantly, easy to put back together again. Contacts one and two connect to the the flash contacts in the camera. All you have to do is figure out how to connect them to a flash, or flash trigger. (Note that not all box brownie flash contacts are the same)
I chose to use a piece of brass wire, a custom made brass screw (I have a lathe), and a cheap cold shoe designed to mount on a standard 1/4" BSW tripod screw. The custom screw does the twin job of fixing the hot shoe to the flash unit, and making the connection with one of the brass contacts (I drilled a hole through the cold shoe, via the existing threaded hole). The other contact is made between the metal shoe and the second flash contact, using a bit of bent brass wire, running through a second hole drilled in the cold shoe, the other end wedged in the convenient hole in the brass strip that forms a battery contact in the flash unit. I drilled all holes by hand; using high speed is a recipe for melted plastic and burning smells. Anyway, my cold shoe is now a hot shoe.
Oh, and don't put a battery in it or you'll charge up that scary capacitor and who knows what it might do to your flash / flash trigger in the hot shoe. You also need to adjust the camera flash sync a little otherwise it will go off too early.
The advantage to doing it this way is that it is completely reversible (apart from two small holes in the flash unit) and the unit can still be used with a flash bulb if desired. It would probably best to cover the hot shoe in that case; I'm not sure if the contacts could zap a careless finger when the capacitor discharges.

7685. Good set, but it has one bad thing: the fake cylinders used for 'lifting' the blade are very weak. I've replaced them with simple mechanism, that allow to raise and lower the blade by turning gear on the back. And I've also added PF Lights. Why? Because there was enough space inside ;)

I took this shot from my balcony about two days ago, and after I did some modification to it with Gimp to give it a classic feel, I think I am pretty pleased with the outcome :)
In the beginning it didn’t remind me of my grandfather, Mr. J (as I will call him), but the more I worked on it the more he came to mind. (Beside he loved to walk just like the older gentleman here.)
The reason I want to talk a bit about Mr. J is because I think there is a lot to learn from his simple life. Mr. J was very misunderstood by everyone and even to this day, including me. Even though he passed away in 2001 at the age of 87 he was still misunderstood by everyone!
(I am listening to Romanza by Andrea Bocelli to help write! ca.youtube.com/watch?v=rOC9GqbNHlQ A beautiful song, isn’t it?)
He was a very kind person, never hurt anybody intentionally or caused anybody a problem, or as much as yell anybody (at least not in the 16 years I knew him before leaving Iraq). Every time I remember him I remember him smiling, because I had never seen him without a smile on his face. This was the problem!
You see, because he was always smiling people automatically thought he was always happy, and they automatically thought he never felt pain—pretty much assumed he doesn’t feel pain! That’s why people never felt the need to apologize to him if they hurt his feelings (sadly, including me), because next time they met him he met them with the same angelic smile! Nobody ever tried to get to know him; they thought he was just a shallow person! Even though it was such a pleasure just be around him, because he could put a smile on anybody’s face just by being around them. Kids especially loved him, including me and my sister.
Nobody ever tried to figure out what is on that man’s heart, and if he needed comfort. Nobody ever tried to get to know him. He was an introvert (I am like him, I guess), even though he still was surrounded by family members. But not once did I see someone show an interest in what he was feeling on the inside. That’s pretty much because he never showed what was going on in his heart and mind. He hid it pretty well.
Then in 1997 my grandma passed away. They were married for 43 years at the time. My grandfather again hid his feelings very well: just a couple of small tears against his white pale skin, without any obvious emotions on his face. And it was so confusing: how cans a man be so kind, peaceful, and loving and not show emotions, at all? Then about a week later my family and I went to church, but he didn’t come with us. When we came home my grandfather was lying on a sofa weeping, and weeping and weeping. He was surprised when we came, and I think he tried to hide the fact that he was mourning the lose of his wife, but he just couldn’t do it because he was way too heart broken to put on a smiling face.
I was shocked! First time in my life I realized my grandfather had feelings! He was left home alone often, and I wondered how often he cried by himself? I’ve heard him pray in anguish before, but I never understood what he was saying simply because he prayed in Turkish. (He was brought up north of Iraq where he learned to speak Turkish, Assyrian (modern Aramaic), and Kurdish along with Arabic.) Even then nobody has tried to comfort him, because he had put such walls around him for so long that nobody knew how to approach him.
Sadly, I was not kind to him in my teen years: I avoided him, yelled at him, and even run away so he wouldn’t talk to me, because he would delay me from playing with my friends! How foolish was I when I was young! Until today I regret those days when I mistreated him. But the most haunting thing in my memory is not my insults, but the smile he always met my disrespecting behaviour and insults with.
At the time I didn’t realize that I was seeing myself in few years when I saw how he acted. I didn’t realize that I pretty much had an identical DNA to his! I didn’t realize that I was so much like him until recently when people started asking me, “Are you always this happy?” It was kind of a confusing question, especially when it came from so many different people. I never thought of myself as being happy. I always thought of myself as someone who needs so much inner healing…the kind of healing that only our heavenly Father can perform.
Then I realized those people are kind of right, I always meet people with a smile, and always hide my feelings, and almost never confront those who hurt me, even those who hurt me intentionally just for the sake of hurting me. Even then I still meet them with a smile. This of course built a wall around me.
This was confirmed to me when a few days ago my mom said (in mention to something very painful happened to me last year), “I am very surprised by how confidently you are handling that situation!” What she didn’t know or anyone else (until now) is that I’ve cried, wept, cried out to God, cried myself to sleep almost daily in the last year and still do until today.
I have always wondered why people feel it is ok to be mean and never apologize, and I think it is partly because I am a Christian. I’ve realized many people, including Christians, don’t feel the need to apologize to Christians because they think God will take care of their hurts. Or that the other person has probably already forgiven them so why bother? This is especially true when it comes to apologizing to someone who we consider to be more spiritually mature, such as a pastor. But the main reason is pride…I know this because I’ve experienced how it feels to apologize to someone when I feel that I am “lowering” myself by doing so: pride.
This was confirmed to me by the way people treated my youngest uncle’s wife www.flickr.com/photos/001fj/2152995301/in/set-72157602515.... She is so loving, kind, and giving toward others that people who meet her either love her or dislike her because they are so jealous of her. When she is among people, they would love her because they are overwhelmed by her character. But when she is not, I could feel the jealousy rising in their attitude towards her. Amazingly, they never felt that they have ever wronged her, or they owed her an apology!
In 2001 my dad called to tell us that my grandfather had passed away. My mom was apprehended to tell me and my sister because she knew we loved him a lot. When she told me first, I didn’t say anything. Then she went to my sister’s room to tell her, my sister cried. When she came from my sister’s room I had already wiped the few tears I had allowed to come down my face. Later that day when she went shopping with my sister I cried my heart out because my grandfather was more a father to us than a grandfather. He had protected us for countless years when my dad was in the army—just his presence was enough. He used to wake up so early in the morning to go buy us fresh (HOT!) bread so we can eat fresh bread with breakfast before we went to school. He used to tickle my palms with his beard. He used to give my sister and me piggy-back rides! He used to come with me to the garden at night to bring my toy cars or something because when I was little I used to be scared of the dark. Just his presence was enough for me. And now he was gone—no more.
What did that man who every body loved gain from building such high walls around him that not only nobody could break through, but nobody could see through? Nothing, absolutely nothing. Did he still experience pain? Yes. Did those emotional walls protect him from hurt? No...after all he was still human! Did he cry? Yes; the only difference is that this way he experience pain by himself with no one to comfort him.
I don’t really have a big message through this writing. However, recently God is been showing me that I need to speak up when someone hurts my feelings, I can’t just hide my hurts. How can I have a successful marriage if I don’t confront my future wife when she disrespects me, or hurts my feelings, and so on?
That doesn’t mean I should be disrespectful to others in return! No, but what it means is that I have to show feelings if I am ever to be treated like a human with feelings! Our Lord Jesus Christ cried, wept, got angry, frustrated, scared, and overwhelmed with sadness. So here it is: the only perfect person ever to live showed feelings!
It is not our call to be “Mr. nice guy” all the time! It is not God’s purpose for our lives! We are to be kind, respectful, and peaceful, yes, but not build walls so nobody can get through to us. God’s purpose for us is to be holy like He is holy, and to have pure feelings and express them in a holy matter with pure motives!
I don’t know exactly why I don’t say anything when someone hurts me. However, I can think of many reasons. One of them is that when people hurt our feelings most of the time they know, (if that’s not what their purpose was in the first place!), so what is the point of telling them that? If someone who is really close to me yells at me or calls me demeaning names, do I really need to inform them that this hurts my feelings? Isn’t it obvious? Another reason is that deep inside I don’t feel that I deserve people’s kind words, respect, or love. So I am actually never disappointed when someone hurts me, but that doesn’t mean I don’t get hurt.
That’s the whole reason why we build emotional walls: so we don’t get hurt the next time someone hurts our feelings! But what a lie it is! We do get hurt, again and again and again—as long as we are alive we get hurt! And building emotional walls are disobedience toward God, because His will for our lives is joy, and peace, and a life full of purpose! You can’t have a meaningful purpose in life without meaningful relationships!
I am not talking about being jailed and not being able to connect with others such as probably what the apostle Paul went through when he was in prison—even then he built close and godly relationships. I am talking about deliberately building emotional walls around us.
If you ask people who know me they will tell you that Fadi gives his all in whatever he does. And if you ask someone who knows me pretty well, then they will tell you that Fadi gives his all even when he loves. But what others don’t know is that Fadi doesn’t expect others to give their all to him, in any way. Why? Because I’ve build an emotional wall that says: emotions can go out, but nothing can go in. You see how it works? It might not be a full blown emotional wall, it could be a one way wall, but whatever Satan can get to destroy your life he will do with.
When we left Iraq it was a very kept quiet event. You see, my mom worked as an accountant for the government and no people who worked for the government were allowed to leave the country. That’s why I didn’t have the chance to say “good-by” to a lot of my friends. Many of them were at their summer jobs, or visiting relatives since it was a summer break. That broke my heart. And in Jordan I didn’t have any friends. So somehow I had decided to never have friends again…ever! Even though now I know that’s wrong but I’ve been without any close friends for so long that I’ve learned to live this way. If you remember, you probably added me as a contact not vice versa—I can’t even allow myself to add contacts on flickr! I don’t even add people to my MSN list…I actually don’t even come online! Because something inside of me says “no” to any kind of friendship I initiate. I guess this way I feel that if you reject me then that’s ok, because you chose to be my contact in the first place; it is like you started it, you ended it, and that’s shouldn’t hurt as much as if I started it, and you ended it! It is a very messed up way of thinking, isn’t it? I have experienced some very dear friendships they have started, and they ended too, but believe me it hurts just as much as anything else I can image.
However, building emotional walls has not always been a bad thing, because it drove me closer to Jesus: since He is the only friend I know who will never leave me nor forsake me. And I know all things He does are for my best, even if they hurt. I’ve experienced His friendship in ways I cannot describe. But even this is not a biblical teaching: God created us for each other, He never intended for us to be friends with Him alone.
Until today I wish I can undo my painful words toward my grandfather. Sometimes I wonder one thing: who gave us the right to insult others, disrespect them, be mean to them, look down upon them, reject them, break their hearts, yell at them, not be considerate towards their feelings or the circumstances they are going through…? My question is not why we do such things, but what makes us feel entitled to do such things?
I don’t think we will ever be perfect as not do any of those things, but when burst of anger are an expected part of how we act then we need to draw closer to the Father and re-evaluate ourselves.
I wonder how many broken relationships we have experienced were from God—to protect us from marrying the wrong person. Yet we responded to those “rejections” negatively without giving thought to God’s rule in them that they serve a purpose of His in our lives—to protect us. And so what do we do? We start building emotional walls!
Until today family members use Mr. J as an example of someone who had “no feelings”, “didn’t experience pain”, “had no dignity”…etc. But I know better today: there is no such a thing as a human who doesn’t have feelings, doesn’t experience pain, or has no dignity—we all do. Even the homeless, the beggars, and serials killers!
Have you ever heard of “The Green River Killer” (Gary Ridgeway)? He was found guilty of murdering 48 women in the U.S.; but he estimated that he had murdered over 70 women over the 20 years of his killing spree. Do you know what it means to kill 48 women? Just to give you an idea: it took the judge 20 minutes to name all his victims and him simply replying “guilty” after each name. In his sentencing he showed absolutely no emotions…how could he after murdering so many? How can anyone reach inside of him and get some emotions out of him! You could actually feel the emotional wall he has built for so long…until one old man, the father of one of his young victims, stood up to address him [the video link is posted below]:
ca.youtube.com/watch?v=qgSI37_8wRw
What I wanted to show here is that there is no such a thing as a person without feelings: even though he didn’t show remorse for taking the lives of so many, she showed feelings when he was being forgiven.
Before you close the window to this writing ask yourself: have you mistreated someone, many be continuously, and not apologized, tried to amend your wrong doings, asked for forgiveness of both the person and God, and repented of doing so and turned toward God for guidance and empowerment of how to treat others the way He desires us to treat each other.
Especially our parents. We take our parents for granted thinking that we deserve their time, money, energy, service, love…especially our mothers.
Will you make the commitment today to let God work on your character whether it is tearing down the emotional walls you’ve built for a long time or short time, for whatever reason, and also to let Him work on you the way you treat others? I grantee you that God’s way is the best way for now and eternity. Painful at time yes, but there is no true genius peace without listening to the prompting of the Holy Spirit and obey Him. You cannot have peace without growing in your relationship with Him, and you can’t do so without obeying Him. And I grantee you that obeying Him always requires a change in you to the likeness of His Son, Jesus Christ.
I don’t really blame others for the way they saw him, after all that’s how he portrayed himself to others. However, to treat someone in a demeaning manner just because the way we assume they are is wrong, and sinful. When it is all said and done the fact remains that Mr. J treated other good, unlike the way they treated him, and for that he will always deserve my respect, and I am honoured that I am his grandson.
I didn’t write from my personal experience about me and my grandfather because I like to be vulnerable—nobody does—but because I am hoping through those simple words we might be able to see parts of ourselves and draw closer to God for a change: a change for an abundance of life.
What is God has been calling you to do for some time but you are putting it off, or have decided to disobey Him, because it is making you uncomfortable by requiring of you to get out of your comfort zone by shattering an emotional wall you have built to “protect” your heart from being hurt? Well, if God is bringing something to your mind then today is your chance for a step closer to experience His peace, joy and purpose for your life.
