Fun pic of a prototype suit that didn't actually make it in the convention line up. I think Sandra said there were issues getting enough material. Really cute suit though. Love the pleating on the skirt
Monday morning at Brew Steet in Bridgwater Docks, we see the arrival of a few wagons from Glastonbury, a van of Clark’s footwear and a former cattle wagon repurposed as a cider van. Nasal Nigel & Colin check out the unusual switchblade latching. Rumour has it, PECO based their OO point mechanism on it.
Part of the Town Project by Altezza and ER0L (www.flickr.com/photos/er0l) . Based on the SNOT road system we developed some time ago. Feeling that a town with a real street life needs moving cars we thought about having a slot system. This is what we came up with so far - a chain-driven prototype. It works quite nicely already but will of course be improved and enlarged.

De Havilland Mosquito prototype W4050 at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum, London Colney, Hertfordshire, on 12th July 2022.
I am back from vacation and I ordered from brickarsenal right before I left and recieved a few more things. My only wants are ww2 protos.
These are Not For Trade. Let me know if you have one that I don't have, I'd be very interested in acquiring it.
My first clay log prototype was formed around a toilet paper roll and aluminum foil. I used a copper wire spiraled around it and embedded it in clay for strength. I covered it all with a blended clay and cut irregular holes in one end. Then I drew a lot of designs using tools and covered it with black and gold Pearlex powder before curing. I used 600 grit sandpaper and a soft muslin buffing wheel.
Boeing 747-121 prototype N7470 'City of Everett' engineless and looking rather forlorn on the east side of Boeing Field Seattle in May 1993, at this time retired as a engine test bed plus other development work. Interior and exterior restoration commenced in 2014 after she was moved across to the Museum of Flight where this iconic airliner is now a star exhibit within a new building and complete with reinstalled original P&W JT9D engines.
TEH918 LK58CPU seen at Edgware starting on route 32, towards Kilburn Park.
This bus was previously painted with green leaves, to advertise that it was hybrid, along with 11 other prototypes. It uses the hybrid system, BAE, which is one of the best systems, proving that this hybrid was successful and reliable, leading to their production version being sold in hundreds.
This year, this bus will turn 10 years old, which sometime, it'll have to complete a MOT test. If it fails, then it has to be scrapped.
The first of the time bomb (timed explosive) prototypes. The timer is molded separately, and press-fit into a recess on top. The reverse side features a stud-sized hole to allow ti to attach to tother things.
de Havilland DH98 Mosquito prototype W4050 (E0234) preserved at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum, London Colney, close to Hatfield where it's first flight took place on 25th November 1940. This aircraft is particularly unique as it’s rare for an original prototype of a WWII era combat aircraft to survive to this day.
One of the most versatile aircraft of WWII, the mosquito was originally conceived as an unarmed fast bomber, but was adapted into many roles and proved equally effective as a tactical bomber, high-altitude night bomber, pathfinder, day or night fighter, fighter-bomber, intruder, maritime strike aircraft, and fast photo-reconnaissance aircraft.

My 'Eris' moc was the first place winner of the BBCC #64 on BZPower. As kind as BZPower is they gave me an Ehlek set and these four prototype pieces as prize.
So this. Is why I love BZPower <3
Using the official Resistance X-wing and Lego's Jek-14 stealth fighter to create the E-wing from Star Wars Legends
Developed for the new Group 6 sports-racing class introduced in 1966, the Costin-Nathan was built around an all-wooden monocoque chassis skinned in Gaboon ply. Frank Costin designed and built the prototype, which was raced by Roger Nathan, who also built the subsequent production versions. Power came from a highly-modified Hillman Imp engine and transaxle. Roger, the youngest driver to win the Autosport Championship, had premises in Brixton and, with ex Team Lotus mechanic Willy Griffiths, was the first tuner to modify the new Hillman Imp.
The Costin-Nathan proved highly successful from the first outing, winning five races and setting five lap records. In September 1966 Roger Nathan won the International Coupes de Paris at the banked Montlhery circuit. In a David and Goliath scenario, he beat the more powerful works Fiat Abarth team. Quite a feat for a relatively unknown British driver in a self-constructed wooden car!

This device does not boot or power up on its own, but requires connection to a Macintosh equipped with a specialized NuBus card.

The Fetzenflieger – the Flying Shreds, go figure – an extraordinary nickname for an exceptional vehicle and its incredible owner/driver.
Despite his physical disability, Austrian race driver Otto Mathé celebrated many successes at the wheel of his self-built car that had a Porsche factory racing engine.
Mathé was left with one functional arm after a motorcycle accident during a race in September 1934, resulting in his right-arm being paralysed below the elbow.
Not that it stopped him from continuing to actively participate in motorsport – quite the opposite, Mathé took a “double or nothing” approach to racing and switched to four wheels.
Giving up was never an option and from that point, his passion for cars was wholly committed to Porsche. In the mid-1950s he became increasingly well known for arriving at his favourite racetracks with a rather unusual vehicle: the Fetzenflieger.
Combining Volkswagen components with Porsche engine-performance made the Monoposto, technically, a Formula 2 car. But Mathé also always kept available a set of bolt-on mudguards, lighting, a second seat and a spare wheel, so in next to no time his contraption was ready to compete in other racing series as and where needed.
With the gear lever installed on the left – the side of his still-functional hand – he would lean against the steering wheel to change gear: a technique that made the Austrian world-famous.
And in spite of his physical disability, Mathè regularly outclassed the competition, leaving even the keenest drivers in his dust.
The peculiar Porsche turbocharged Otto Mathé’s career. The self-built racing car, with hand-crafted aluminium skin accommodating a 1.5-litre factory racing engine (Spyder), and later a Fuhrmann engine from the 356 A Carrera GT, is certainly one of the most unusual Porsche racing cars ever seen.
The extremely low centre of gravity, short wheelbase, and engine installed in front of the rear axle result in extraordinary driving characteristics, while a kerb weight of just 395 kilograms and 130 PS enable acceleration to more than 200 km/h.
But it’s not just for those qualities that the bizarre nickname of Fetzenflieger – or “Flying Shreds” – was coined for the car.
The reason being, Mathé would leave the side panelling open in order to facilitate quicker changing of the spark plugs when needed.
All that protected the carburettors from incoming dirt were two overlapping fabric tarpaulins, which also functioned as air filters, while occasionally misfiring and igniting the fabric, the strange car leaving a trail of flaming fabric in its wake.
The Fetzenflieger was primarily used for sand track racing and ice races; an example of the latter is the legendary race commemorating Ferdinand Porsche in Zell-am-See.
Mathé set a record time there in 1956, completing the four-kilometre icy course in just 157 seconds – leaving Porsche PR boss and racing driver Huschke von Hanstein and Richard von Frankenberg trailing.
On that day, around 3,000 motorsport fans were captivated by the Fetzenflieger at the foot of the Großglockner.

I will not answer any questions in regards to trades and or sale. My source shall also be kept confidential.
I raised the exposure a bit, made it a little whiter.
I lucked into a 2011 official pullip calender, there appear to be some new prototypes in it...

So on a russian site, prototypes of Sabina & Dresden have been revealed, and I am nothing short of amazed at them:
Sabina: www.bratz-shop.ru/Bratz_386650.html
Dresden: www.bratz-shop.ru/Bratz_386643.html
Sabina looks like her prototype version and is really just lovely! I love her hair color especially. But Dresden her is FLAWLESS! I want THIS ONE! it's her face-up and hair color & style. Her little chocker & pearls, (and the shoes!) are just the icing on the cake. You know what they say, right?: 'Where there's a re-root there's a way?'
In any case, I want to make my own Dresden that resembles this one. Anybody have a clue what Yasmin or Fianna her face might resemble most? -
