I made a modified skoodlet to use while wearing Arlo. It allows me to close my jacket around him and keep my hands warm, and it has a hood for him. More info on Ravelry.
A David Pelham Flare but 50% bigger with a few modifications. It has a 100 inch wing span.
It has 1) additional lower keels (after the DoPeRo) with dynamic-bungee (a la WindWatcher) for easier tuning and to give more support in strong wind, 2) a drag-inducing wide "tail" for stability and slightly lower line angle, 3) three optional attachments points for fuzzy tail, and 4) stronger spreaders (skyshark400 for lower, 4-wrap Revolution 1.5 leading edge spar +10" for the upper) to extend the wind range up toward infinity.
First flight. Steady with a steep line angle and a hard pull. It didn't want to come down at all when flying in 10-20 mph winds.
Built for lifting cameras.

The T-72TM is a relic of the cold war, either obtained following the breakup of the USSR, or purchased after the fact, the tank has been in service in Tarkhazia since 1991. Since that time it has received various local and Russian-contracted upgrades, ensuring the tank will stay in Tarkhazian service for years to come.

Substantially modified by the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway, "Scooby/Scwbi" looks very different from when it was new in 1941. It is one of the Hunslet 50hp mines type (the exhaust was flameproofed) and went new the Royal Naval Armaments Department base at Trecwyn, Pembrokeshire, being their "Yard no.21". It stayed there until 1984, when it was overhauled and repainted before being sent to the Ministry of Defence NATO Ammunition Depot at Broughton Moor, Cumbria. It soon became surplus to requirements and by 1992 it had moved to Llanfair. In 2018, the locomotive was reportedly in store, but this was how it looked on May 2nd 2004.
Berde received a Spectre, it was very rusty, and it was old, very old, the chamber was broken, along with the barrel. The old gun had no ironsights, and the grip was broken in two pieces.
Berde decided to give his style, a few weeks after the term, and gave a final touch, scrape his name in the magwell. Also he decided to give it a nickname, in this case, as he decided to add a new accessory "Manijah"and a customized silencer, and his favorite color was black chalkboard, well, he named it: Ace Of The Night
Equipped with a Pulsar Charger engine, this modified speeder bike is a favorite of Jin Efrit, captain of the Misfortune. Built using salvaged pieces from old M:Tron vehicles, this speeder is fast and maneuverable.
Dennis Meriel's NSX Cover, Houston, TX, 2011
We were told no rig shots for the cover and to keep it simple for the shoot and that's what we did.
This was taken on the last day of our coast trip this summer. We stopped by Fort Clatsop just a little bit before close, and, true to Oregon Coast weather, it got really dark with cloud cover right about the time of this musket demonstration.
I knew, going into this shot, that I was probably going to be underexposed a bit, and I was fine with that. Now that I see the high contrast between the smoke from the muzzle, the white linen shirt, the few bits of sky visible through the thick forest, and everything else, I am very comfortable with the low-lighting.
Hue 'rotated' for bluish skies, and as a side-effect I've gone back to ginger!
I think I used an R72 or IR760 IR filter - the body is not IR converted, hence it's a long exposure. Infrared is difficult to focus, partly because it's dark, and partly because it focuses in a slightly different plane to visible light - having a body and lens that use contrast-detect for focus is best. A lot of lenses are not good for infrared - you get a bright low-contrast 'hotspot' in the image centre. This was shot with a Panasonic/Lumix 20mm, which for all its other faults (and they are many) is ok for infrared.
10 seconds at f4, 200 ISO. Tripod essential!

History
HMS STARLING was de-stored and paid off into Reserve during October 1945 following end of hostilities.
Within two months this ship was selected for use as a Navigation Training Ship baaed at Portsmouth. She was converted for this duty at Portsmouth where her armament was removed and facilities for practical training were added. In March 1946 she began training duties as a Tender to the Navigation School, H M S DRYAD, and continued in this role until she was Paid Off and reduced to Reserve status at Portsmouth. Placed on the Disposal List the ship was sold to BISCO for demolition by Lacmots and towed to the breakers yard at Queenborough, Kent on 6 July 1965.

An oil well near one of my favorite birding haunts near Greeley (Latham Reservoir). Judging by the white wash on the oil well, he's perched here before.
