Closer look at the Phoenix on top of the Kinkaku-ji (金閣寺, literally "Temple of the Golden Pavilion"). Unfortunately it was raining that day….

 

Information - WiKi:

""Kinkaku-ji (金閣寺, literally "Temple of the Golden Pavilion"), officially named Rokuon-ji (鹿苑寺, literally "Deer Garden Temple"), is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan.

It is one of the most popular buildings in Japan, attracting many visitors annually.

It is designated as a National Special Historic Site, a National Special Landscape and is one of 17 locations making up the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto which are World Heritage Sites.

 

The roof is in a thatched pyramid with shingles. The building is topped with a bronze hōō (phoenix) ornament.

 

From the outside, viewers can see gold plating added to the upper stories of the pavilion. The gold leaf covering the upper stories hints at what is housed inside: the shrines. The outside is a reflection of the inside. The elements of nature, death, religion, are formed together to create this connection between the pavilion and outside intrusions""

  

It looks as if this machine comes from the early industrial era. Clearly electro plating was an important process needed in the railway workshops. This photograph is designed to reflect the grunge and grime of the period.

This was the view of Chrome Hill as I had successfully descended the most treacherous bit of the Parkhouse ridge (mainly on my derriere). My Scarpa Manta boots had a coating of sticky mud on their Vibram soles, which meant staying upright on the slippy limestone quite impossible. There wasn't enough snow and ice for crampons, so I have now ordered some micro-spikes for situations like this in the future.

 

It was strange to see the Peak District's "Dragon Back Ridge" coated by snow and ice on the North faces, with the South sides being cleared by days of winter sun. I think the effect accentuates the shape of this wonderful reef feature. Hence the pun on "winter chrome-plating"!

 

It was quite an exhilarating little trek, in fact I found the Parkhouse descent quite embarrassing, having scaled many a peak in the Alps, I have never before had to slither around like a geriatric sloth on a descent from a hill. I'm just glad there were no others around to watch it!

 

You can see from this shot and another I will post at some point, how exposed this little ridge is. You certainly get a lot of excitement from this Hill and the view of Chrome is just great from here.

A gold plated RCA jack (phono jack). The gold plating provides corrosion resistance for a more reliable connection; its look is just an added benefit.

Standing on the shoreline watching the Sospan Dau dredger pump out shingle onto the beach for building up sea defences.

 

This is part of the Eastbourne Beach Management works. Shingle is constantly being moved from West to East by waves along the seafront. This is known as longshore drift. The shingle acts as a flood defence for Eastbourne, so the lost material neds to be replaced or recycled (moving material from East to West).

 

New shingle comes from a licensed area of the Owres Bank near the Isle of Wight, where it is sucked from the seabed by the dredger.

 

A total of 8,000m3 of shingle will be delivered and distributed over a 4-6 week period.

 

The Sospan Dau is a Dutch trailing suction hopper dredger. The name Sospan Dau is Welsh and originates from Sosban Fach and Llanelli's tin plating industry, Sospan being the Welsh for Saucepan and Dau being Welsh for Two as the ship is a successor to the original Sospan.

  

Would have loved to see this space before everything was pulled out.

Psalm 42

For the director of music. A maskil of the Sons of Korah.

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” ...

Thanks to Gregador for pointing out this part of Erie. This is where I landed on Street View and ended up liking it the best:

From a dinner party friends had last month.

I added the thrust nozzles and rear plating. I now just need to fill in all the gaps along the spine and underside.

Plating up at the Madklubben dinner at Cail Bruich Restaurant in Glasgow on Monday evening. I am constantly amazed how so many people can work so well together in such a small space - Team work at its best!

 

Is this a vessel, a flagon or a chalice? See here: Click

 

Let's call it a bottle, then.

 

As (fun) part of a chemistry experiment, we silver-plated the inside of a small glass bottle (about 50 ml, which I had purchased at Woolworth for 75 Euro cents).

 

The chemical process:

 

In a solution of silver nitrate in water, the silver nitrate dissociates to silver ions (+) and nitrate ions (-).

 

Ammonia is added, which decomposes to ammonium ions and hydroxide. Silver ions and hydroxide ions combine to silver oxide and water. The silver oxide has a low solubility and precipitates.

 

Adding further ammonia, the precipitate is transformed into a silver diammine complex, which again dissolves in water.

 

Adding potassium hydroxide, then glucose reduces the ions to metallic silver, which is deposited on the interior surface of the glass bottle. In case you are worried about what happens to the glucose in the process: it turns into gluconic acid.

 

The glass vessel is shown before and after the interior silver plating.

Serving up the meat (there was a variety by the way) during Saturday night’s meat lovers delight at Locavore to Go in Ubud, Bali … seriously nice food with great service at a great price. All the meat is from their butchery right next door.

In 1941 the Merthan design bureau in Siouxfalls added additional armored plating to increase the protection on the Mittel 3 tank. The main armament was swapped out for a 75mm short barreled gun to fight infantry, and fortifications. This gun was also effective against some older tank designs. The upgrades didn't provide much protection against newer tanks, but did help bridge the gap somewhat. It was determined that a longer 75mm gun would be needed to penetrate enemy armor. Luckily the previous year the Schläger III Tank destroyer was designed on the Mittel 3 chassis, and equipped with such a gun allowing it to destroy most enemy medium tanks of the era.

  

This is my favorite Korean pork dish, I served it over a fried rice.

The wife requested I make her Pumpkin Cheesecake for her birthday this year, so that's what she got, of course.

one from last years visit to Chester zoo. I planned a series of abstract close ups; in my head I saw Giraffes, Zebras, Tigers etc, etc... but the Rhino's were the only ones willing to play ball :-)

A magnificent reFrame made out of the finest orange-colored Quorus. The Spessar's armor is known to be stronger than most reFrame armors and its special swords can cut through any armor plating or defensive construct. Rumors have it that both the armor and swords regenerate after sustaining damage making this a reFrame you do not want to encounter. No one knows exactly how this reFrame was made or who made it.

For those interested in LEGO mech building, I also have an eBook from 2015 called Mech Wars 2015 Instructional Primer. It contains some things I wrote about basic mech building, a bit about my Mech Warsuniverse, and all my early models from 2014-2015. If you’re looking for a resource that could help you start or even improve your mech building skills, you might find this eBook useful.

Tom Griffin is 2nd Generation Metal-Expert.

His company does Chrome, Nickel, Copper and Brass plating.

They also do buffing and polishing.

Everything- they do- is done "right".

Tom Griffin is a "mensch"-

and a Businessman that you can always trust.

In fact- he's been a trusted Vendor for most of
