This is one of the few clear case prototypes known to exist. There were usually 10 or less clear case prototypes of each model made during the design process. They were used by engineers to check for fit of internal components.
Nearly all plastic case components are clear plastic, including the handle & internal mounts for components. There is no serial number on the case & also none on the motherboard. The colored Apple logo insets are not present, although the space for them is. The case has some very minor differences than the production model (a few extra plastic bits here & there).
I love the new Brickarms camo items! They're so cool! Will Chapman is one talented fellow.

This is s a rare prototype of the famous iMac G3 Graphite computer with transparent plastics.
Installed is a mock or dummy" CRT made of plastic, not glass. Note that the analog/power supply board is un-populated.
This is a prototype of the very first minifigure that was released in 1975.
It has a flat head, angled arms and top torso, square holes inside studs and solid studs instead of hollow.
The injection points are on the side of the head, top edge of torso and front of the legs.
The angled arms and top torso are a "new find", none of the prototypes on display in the LEGO House has that, same figures found here:
www.newelementary.com/2018/08/lego-minifigure-development...
The rest of the figure is similar to the ones in LEGO House.
Probably dated to 1973-74?
De Havilland Mosquito prototype W4050 at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum, London Colney, on 1st April 2007.
Groove handed out stickers with purchases during SDCC, there were ten stickers six of them featured unproduced prototypes from the artwork collaboration series.
This one is based off of La Liberté guidant le peuple (Liberty Leading the People) by Eugène Delacroix
Originally intended to be an excusive "Halo" or "Image" car for American Motors, 7 Prototypes were created, but ultimately the car never went into full scale production.
The AMX/3 is a Mid-Engine, 2-seat Sports Car using the American Motors 390 V8 engine, although 2 of the prototypes were made with the 360 cubic inch V8.
Styling Design was supervised by Richard Teague, and then Giotto Bizzarrini in Italy created the car in steel, rather than fiberglass or aluminum.
BMW was then tasked with suspension design and final performance testing.
The AMX/3 was expected to compete against the Corvette, as well as the Ford/Mercury Pantera, which featured the potent 351 "Cleveland" V8 in 1971, and was also a Mid-Engine car. Because of the expected cost for AMC to produce the AMX/3, it was believed that the car would not have been competitive based on price, and the project was ended.

Cars designed by Giotto Bizzarrini were one of the featured Marques this year @ Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, 2016, and this is one of those cars.

Is like the one in Dan Brown's "Communicating Design: Developing Web Site Documentation for Design and Planning"
The bicycle on the photo is a prototype for the successor of the "old" Frog of Riese & Müller.
The photo was probably illegally made during a presentation for a selected group of dealers and found its way on internet. This presentation was in the beginning of 2007, because rumours about the new Frog were around at the Special Bike Show in Germersheim, april 2007. I was told about it by a dealer, and I thought he was nuts. He wasn't.
It remained a prototype; it never reached the stage of production so far. It is uncertain if the project has been cancelled. It looks like it, but Riese & Müller refuses to comment on that. One of the managers stated me grinning but still officially that this bike is "just a study-project".
Still interesting to see the similarities between the 2006-type Birdy and this Frog. Similarities are not amazing because this prototype has been built mainly with Birdy components.
The new born and soon passed away Frog has 16 inch wheels, and is much shorter than the Birdy. Possibly the two folding forks would have been smaller on the production-Frog, if it ever would have come to that. The Frog presumably should fold much more compact than the Birdy..
This prototype has disc brakes, but that doesn't mean anything for the production stage, if that stage would ever be reached. The chainwheel is rather small so the bike seems to be meant for city-use only. Like the good old Frog.
The fixation of the seatpost is similar to the one on the old Birdy frame and differs from the way this is solved on the new Birdy 2006 frame.. The seatpost itself is extendable.
Expert Carsten Thies at www.birdy-freunde.de commented:
Sicher 16" 305 mm. Nicht nur die Scheibenbremsen, auch die
extrabreiten Doppelfelgen (vermutlich vernietet) für die Big Apple
sind interessant. Damit würde es nicht mehr so kompakt falten wie
das alte Frog. Ob es leichter rollt, kommt wohl darauf an, wie sehr
die Bremsscheiben am gefalteten Paket verbiegen.
The transmission looks like a Nexus 8 speed hub; the derailleur is an Alfine type. So maybe even the hub is also an Alfine one. Still, this is only a prototype that says nothing about its prospected (but ill-fated?) future.
The pedals are plug-in-pedals from MKS and imported in Europe by Riese & Müller.
Of course the photo is not copyrighted since the name of the owner remains a secret. I will however remove the photo on the supposed owner's first request.

Trébol Prototype (translucent material). Trébol has some faceplates, here are the normal faceplate and the elf faceplate (inside), and some optional parts wich will be available at the same time than Trébol preorder :D (but we have mor surprises for you!!)
Purchased by The Sun newspaper, this was a prototype Dennis Trident. It carries an Alexander ALX 500 body, a body which, as far as I'm aware, never went into production, although it carries an Alexander RH type front end. It's seen at Marble Arch, London on the 8th of December 2005.

Prototypes of the new Star Trek Designs I am working on.

We're starting to channel some of the influences of our recent trip to Malta. They have a very distinctive style of filigree, which we studied while we were there. This is a first prototype to work through some of the design issues, but mainly to practice making the fine filigree wire and working with it. We gots a ways to go.
This is a PROTOTYPE head print for Short Round, as you can see a part of the eyebrows is missing, so we will reprint it, and we will only sell them when perfect. The fig will also have an hat with blue visor.
Bristol 173 twin rotor G ALBN/XF785/7648M displayed at Aerospace Bristol Filton. First flown in 1952 intended as a civilian helicopter though did not go into production, the Bristol 172 Belvedere was derived from this design, that version in service with the RAF 1961 to 1969. To RAF Henlow as a maintenance airframe in 1960 as 7648M, stored at Kemble from 2002 acquired by the Filton Museum in May 2018.

Lots of lovely unproduced dolls.
Prototype HSTs and former class 41 (and then 252) departmental units ADB975812 & ADB975813 (ex 41001 & 41002) seen in the scrap line at Derby Works on 22nd October 1983. Thankfully 41001 is now preserved.
This is the industrial design model that's the precursor to the clear case mechanical prototypes.
This came from a GUI designer for the eMate who said it was shown to developers at the 1996 MacWorld. Apparently it was the first time Apple used "stereo lithography" to prototype a product. Jonathan Ives saw it in use in Amsterdam and was inspired to try it. Three pieces were made; the top, bottom and pen.
From the CAD program, the pieces were carved out to hold a standard keyboard which you can see. Then they added rubber stops for the pen wells, the Apple logo, and space was carved to hold the screen.
Caught this BYD prototype car again, this time parked on a suburban street in Brighton.
I'm assuming this is their new Dolphin hatchback based on what I have seen in the news from the automotive world.
It doesn't seem to be on any Australian registration. What is in the place of number plates, are a pair of photos of a Chinese number plate reading "B6601" placed on what looks to be a table or some sort of flat surface.
A larger and better cut photo of that same number plate can be seen affixed to the rear window.
As you may be able to tell, I don't photograph cars from China and that is because I do not have an interest in them. As for this one, I never see a prototype out on the road so, I definitely wanted to take it's photo no matter where it's coming from.
This prototype B series Leyland National is seen here when new at an open day held at the Frenchwood Avenue engineering works of Ribble Motor Services. It was 800 NCW800T.
This is an early 3x2 Lego window prototype compared to a Moduex 4x4 window. There are a lot of similarities here, including the 3-sided bottoms and sunken surface. I can't help but think their design must share a similar origin.
