The chopper which I pinstripe the flaked flame tank for.. today I´ll start on the back fender, which will fit a 300 wide tire. Next week I´ll do the front fender and oil tank.. the oil tank will also have the number "50" gold leafed on the side.. which is the owners age :-)
Progress has been moving quickly, especially since this represents only 2 days' worth of puzzling. I had no time even to think about the puzzle during the week, but yesterday and this morning were devoted to it. I love working on puzzles in the morning light - it's so much easier on the eyes and my progress seems to go much faster. (My mind is probably sharper then, too.) No artificial light source can compare.
I also enjoy listening to music while I work on a puzzle. I used to buy a lot of CDs and LPs, but in this day and age web radio and podcasts are the way to go. One of my favorite online radio shows at the moment is "Gilles Peterson Worldwide," a 3-hour weekly program on BBC Radio 6. It plays from 3 - 6 p.m. on Saturdays (you can also stream it after the fact) and I had the pleasure of listening in live yesterday morning. The music is always fresh and stimulating.
Florida Tropical Home
Interior View
Guest Bedroom
The Florida Tropical Home is along the shores of Lake Michigan in the Porter County, Indiana community of Beverly Shores. The home was constructed in 1933 as part of the Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition during the 1933 World's Fair (Century of Progress) that took place in Chicago. Today, it is part of the Century of Progress Architectural District, a historic district.
The exterior of the home was designed in the modernist style by architect Robert Law Weed and painted a Floridian pink.
The Florida Home was built in 1933 for the Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition of the 1933 World's Fair by the State of Florida to showcase itself and to entice tourism to the state. The construction was carried out by the Deigaard & Preston construction firm for a total of approx. $15,000.
The home was moved to its current location in Beverly Shores by real estate developer Robert Bartlett. Bartlett, who wanted to establish a resort community in the area complete with a golf course, hotel, and botanical garden, was responsible for moving six of the exhibition's homes to the area, brought to Beverly Shores by barge in 1935.
The Florida Tropical Home, along with four other exhibition homes from 1933, were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, collectively known as the "World's Fair Houses." The other five homes are scattered around Beverly Shores; four of them are close neighbors of the Florida Tropical Home.

Some may know, but for others: Guess what version! This is all my progress so far, I'm quite proud. About to add MC.
some scales being shaped. I think they won't look great, but my paper lost it's strength and I can't do whatever I want - it rips after few corrections of a crease :(

The Concept:
We’ve been living our lives at a rate of 24 hours per complete earth axis rotation at 365 days per complete circumference around the sun. We exist in our human form that is allowed at this speed of life. For one night, we will halt this speed to stop time; allowing our forms which hide between the threads of time to be released. In this timesphere, our alternate creatures celebrate their freedom from the clutches of passing time; relishing their freedom to finally come out of the shadows and explore. Come to “Timesphere” as your inner creature which exists deep in your timeless self.

The Intent:
We are putting all efforts into creating a reunion gathering to solidify the connections we all made with ourselves and others from Fractalfest, our 3 day gathering this summer. We invite you to part of an event which has both the wild and calming aspects. Together, let's find a balance in life and become as close to yin and yang, the Hunab Ku. Also to realize this balance is itself balanced with chaos. All we ask is you be respectful of yourself, of others, and of the space.

****The Conduit (Hartford, CT) 4-hour Sound Meditation****
www.facebook.com/TheConduitGongs
The Conduit is a team of musicians who practice the art of performance-'sound-meditation' for individuals or groups to align, and ~find balance within~ specializing in the ancient art of sound meditation: a technique that creates a state of effortless relaxation and a natural environment for self-healing
Individual wellness and peace is the first step towards a utopian world. Only when one emanates the lifestyle of balance and harmony, can one expect to transfer some into the community surrounding themselves. We believe that the through the modality of meditation everyone has the power for introspection and growth. Sound, particularly from the gongs, has a unique ability to clear mental clutter, streamlining the meditation practice.
We utilize Gongs, singing bowls, and positive intention to decrease mental distraction, allowing the body the chance return to its natural resonance.

East-German postcard by VEB Progress Film-Vertrieb, Berlin, . Photo: DEFA. Scene from Osceola (Konrad Petzold, 1971).
Osceola (1971) is a DEFA Ostern by director Konrad Petzold and the Red Circle group from 1971. The 'Red Western', made in cooperation with Kino-Zentrum Sofia (Bulgaria) and ICAIC Havana (Cuba), is about the struggle of the Indian chief Osceola and his tribe for their arable and grazing land in southern North America, which they have to defend against rich white Americans. On the other hand, the film also deals with the role of the black population in this conflict.
Osceola (Konrad Petzold, 1971) is situated in Florida, 1830. Of all eastern Native American tribes, only the Seminoles have resisted being moved to reservations. Having retreated to Florida, they live a simple horticultural life. But white plantation owners, angry at the increasing numbers of black slaves fleeing to Seminole protection, want to take their land. Plantation owner Raynes (Horst Schulze), in particular, has convinced the military to wipe out the Seminoles. His rival Moore (Iurie Darie), a sawmill owner from the North who has a Seminole wife, is against slavery and considers it unprofitable. Chief Osceola (Gojko Mitic) sees the coming danger. When a gunboat takes a large number of escaped slaves under fire, Osceola realises that he can no longer prevent the war and intervenes. First, he frees his wife from the hands of Raynes, killing Hammer and setting fire to the mansion, then he uses a ruse to blow up the gunboat. In the end, the escaped slaves are able to flee on boats along with the Indians. Moore, whose sawmill was destroyed by the gunboat, flees north as he no longer has a livelihood in Florida. For the Seminoles, this is the beginning of a seven-year war that will claim many more victims on both sides.
Osceola, produced by the East German film studio DEFA, was primarily filmed in Cuba and Bulgaria by an East-German crew. Director Konrad Petzold had also directed Yugoslavian star Gojko Mitic' two previous 'Osterns' (communist Westerns), Weisse Wölfe/White Wolves (1969) and Tödlicher Irrtum/Fatal Error (1970). "A straightforwardly told Indian film" was the verdict of the Encyclopaedia of International Film. At IMDb, somebody under the name of Unbroken Metal reviews: "Osceola is a bit slow sometimes, too much singing and talking in between the action sequences, but it is interesting for its historical background, rather different from the usual Prairie Indians. Somebody gets a credit for "scientific advice" in the titles to point out it was well researched..."

The big change since the last one of these I posted is that the left flap is now mostly green. Also, the small amount of yellow remaining on the left fuel tank is now green as well.
Parts shown here in green are complete, yellow are awaiting some final riveting or blending tasks, orange are awaiting primer, and red are works in progress. Uncolored parts haven't yet been worked on.
For more narrative on the project, check out the construction blog.
A thaw in progress in Carton House near Maynooth. The last night of our recent cold snap was very foggy, so lots of hoar frost formed, then the sky cleared and the sun came out — the result was a lovely mix of green, white and blue!
Progress on the Ptera arrow for my custom SHF Pteraranger. Now, it is no longer just a flat piece of plastic with a sticker on it.
Cat-Mai - Mai with the Catwa Magy head - is well on her way to becoming a character your Mai could live with as an avatar (because, though you found her beautiful sweetie, your wife couldn't make a 'habit' of the embryonic Cat-Mai as she looks in those 'Dancing Zen' pictures).
Here Cat-Mai is born again with some modified facial proportions, most noticeably her mouth and lips, which are now literally Golden (ie. PHI = 1:1.618 = 62% on the SL Lip Ratio slider), a move that does give her face a je ne sais quoi in your Mai's eyes and renders her attractive enough now to 'live with' more than just now and then. If you like her, love, I can 'be' Cat-Mai more often.
Cat-Mai is showing off the Analexa small-breasted body, with a slimmer shape than even Slink-Mai used to wear. And she's been given a new LAQ skin (Natasha) which sets off her nose and mouth a bit more than the Camille skin Slink-Mai and MaiChai wear.
Hope you like her and these pics which really got me going on the Black & White and F-S conversions! For some reason they do this particular face more justice than plain colour does - whether that's a good sign I'm not quite sure. ♥X
