A nice shot illustrating the size of the BrickArms Musket prototype compared to the minifig.
Also, notice this prototype looks different from many others - it's solid metal! It was created using 3D printing that fuses small pieces of metal together to create a sold metal object. It still captures a ton of detail and feels heavy and solid in hand. You'd swear it was a casted metal item!

Prototype of how my Mack CFs will look. The windshield is 6 wide, while the rest of the top half of the cab is 5 wide. The windshield is also offset by 1/2 stud.
I was confused at first as to why a Deltic sounded like a Class 50, until I noticed the number on the side! This is DP2, an English Electric prototype for the Class 50 locomotives that shared the same bodyshell as the earlier Class 55 Deltics, but was powered instead by an English Electric 16CSVT engine of 2,700hp.
DP2 was built in 1962 at English Electric's Vulcan Foundry, and was the prototype of a new fleet of diesel express locomotives. The engine was built in the same bodyshell as the Class 55 Deltic locomotives of the same year, but that's where all similarities ended.
As mentioned, the locomotive was fitted with a 2,700hp English Electric 16CSVT engine, giving it a top speed of 90mph. It was tested extensively on the West Coast Mainline during 1962, primarily to see how effective it was at combating the steep gradients of Beattock and Shap, both of which posed everyday problems for the ageing fleet of LMS steam engines. Its final test with Vulcan Foundry was a fast running test with a 15-coach train of 483tons between Crewe and Penrith, passing Tebay near the summit of Shap at 80 mph.
After tests were completed, the engine was pressed into service operating between Crewe and Birmingham for crew training, and latterly on express trains out of Euston, and finally King's Cross.
A nimble locomotive, it worked express passenger workings alongside its Deltic cousins until tragedy struck on the 31st July, 1967, where it struck the wreckage of a derailed freight train near Thirsk in Yorkshire, killing 7 people. The locomotive was taken to York, where it was determined the engine was beyond economic repair and thus was scrapped at its original home of Vulcan Foundry in 1968, the only instance that a unique locomotive, as well as a prototype machine, has been written off due to accident damage. Many of the spares stripped from the engine would eventually find their way into 50017 and finally 50037, including its surviving engine, but this, along with 50037, would meet their maker on a Glasgow scrap-line in December 1992.
It needs a bit of tweaking, but I'm getting there. He's fully jointed, but obviously can't stand on his own.
The misericords, which date from between 1508 and 1517, seem to have been brought at a later date form La chapelle du chateau de Gaillon. The complete stalls are each “organic” masterpieces, If there’s a flat surface it is decorated with either relief carvings, paintings or marquetry, even the guide channels for the main seat show pictures. The misericords are of particularly fine quality carving - overall the misericords and stalls are breathtaking!

Basilica of Saint-Denis
The Basilica of Saint-Denis (French: Basilique royale de Saint-Denis, now formally known as the Basilique-cathédrale de Saint-Denis,) is a large former medieval abbey church and present cathedral in the city of Saint-Denis, a northern suburb of Paris. The building is of singular importance historically and architecturally as its choir, completed in 1144, was one of the first structures to employ all of the elements of Gothic architecture.
The site originated as a Gallo-Roman cemetery in late Roman times. The archaeological remains still lie beneath the cathedral; the people buried there seem to have had a faith that was a mix of Christian and pre-Christian beliefs and practices. Around 475 St. Genevieve purchased some land and built Saint-Denys de la Chapelle. In 636 on the orders of Dagobert I the relics of Saint Denis, a patron saint of France, were reinterred in the basilica. The relics of St-Denis, which had been transferred to the parish church of the town in 1795, were brought back again to the abbey in 1819.
The basilica became a place of pilgrimage and the burial place of the French Kings with nearly every king from the 10th to the 18th centuries being buried there, as well as many from previous centuries. (It was not used for the coronations of kings, that function being reserved for the Cathedral of Reims; however, French Queens were commonly crowned there.) "Saint-Denis" soon became the abbey church of a growing monastic complex.
In the 12th century, the Abbot Suger rebuilt portions of the abbey church using innovative structural and decorative features. In doing so, he is said to have created the first truly Gothic building. The basilica's 13th-century nave is the prototype for the Rayonnant Gothic style, and provided an architectural model for many medieval cathedrals and abbeys of northern France, Germany, England and a great many other countries.
The abbey church became a cathedral in 1966 and is the seat of the Bishop of Saint-Denis, Pascal Michel Ghislain Delannoy. Although known as the "Basilica of St Denis", the cathedral has not been granted the title of Minor Basilica by the Vatican.
The 86-metre (282-foot) tall spire, dismantled in the 19th century, is to be rebuilt. The project, initiated more than 30 years ago, was to have begun in May 2020, and is expected to take about 11 years at a cost of about €28 million.
Background
Saint Denis, a patron saint of France, became the first bishop of Paris. He was decapitated on the hill of Montmartre in the mid-third century with two of his followers, and is said to have subsequently carried his head to the site of the current church, indicating where he wanted to be buried. A martyrium was erected on the site of his grave, which became a famous place of pilgrimage during the fifth and sixth centuries.

A flashbar that never burns out ?
An electronic flash that is not big and heavy ?
WIth 125 ISO Time Zero film it was just not possible. Now with 600 film we have a 4x increase in film speed. So would it be possible to fit a sufficiently strong flash into a flashbar enclosure ? I've tried it. The flash circuit is from a disposable camera. You may get a few at a place that processes films. (Dangerous voltage inside -beware!)
The interface is the same as my flash adapters: A 3.9 Ohm resistor where tthe first bulb was, A 3021optocoupler with a 100 Ohm series resistor, its output triac across the flash contacts. Contact strip and case are from a dead flashbar. This is just a prototype with the battery on the top. With a some careful planning a battery holder might just fit into the flashbar as well.
Even better the e-flashbar could be powered from the camera. This would require an electronic voltage regulator that provides the 1.5V 2 Amp charging current without overloading the attery and maybe a timer would be necessary to hold recharging until the last photo has ejected. But does it work ? YES !
With the L/D dial set to 2' brighten exposure is just right. See the test photo.
This does not require an electronic modification to the camera since flash mode is not affected by the modified circuits.
Lots of basic pattern practice, refining, and prototyping. My holiday's approved and ticket to NY is officially booked! Going forward slowly but surely.
The original Hawker P.1067 Hunter prototype WB188 at Tangmere. This aircraft first flew on 20th July 1951 in the hands of famous Hawker chief test pilot Neville Duke. In 1953 it was modified for an attempt on the world air speed record. Changes included installation of a new re-heated Avon engine, pointed nose, streamlined windscreen and revised air brakes. In this form it was re-designated as Mk.3 Hunter, the only example of this mark and successfully broke the record at 727 mph with Duke as pilot. Now preserved at Tangmere still in F.3 configuration minus the streamlined windscreen. Unfortunately a bit hemmed in for photography but wonderful and historic exhibit.

The MGA design dates back to 1951, when MG designer Syd Enever created a streamlined body for George Philips' TD Le Mans car. The problem with this car was the high seating position of the driver because of the limitations of using the TD chassis. A new chassis was designed with the side members further apart and the floor attached to the bottom rather than the top of the frame sections. A prototype was built and shown to the BMC chairman Leonard Lord. He turned down the idea of producing the new car as he had just signed a deal with Donald Healey to produce Austin-Healey cars two weeks before. Falling sales of the traditional MG models caused a change of heart, and the design was reappraised.As it was so different from the older MG models it was called the MGA, the "first of a new line" to quote the contemporary advertising. There was also a new engine available, therefore the car did not have the originally intended XPAG unit but was fitted with the BMC corporate B-Series type of 1489cc allowing a lower bonnet line. The 1489 cc engine fitted with twin H4 type SU Carburettors produced 68 hp at first, but was soon uprated to 72 hp Lockheed hydraulic drum brakes were used on all wheels. This car was launched in 1955 to great acclaim with production running in this configuration as the MGA 1500 until 1959.
In May 1959 the standard cars also received an updated engine, now at 1588 cc producing 79.5 bhp. At the front disc brakes were fitted, but drums remained in the rear. Externally the car is very similar to the 1500 with differences including: amber or white (depending on market) front turn indicators shared with white parking lamps, separate stop/tail and turn lamps in the rear, and 1600 badging on the boot and the cowl.. The Roadsters have sliding type side screens.
The MGA 1600 Deluxe is a rare variant with a Twin Cam and discs all round.
The engine size was increased again to 1622 for the 1961 Mark II MGA. The cylinder head was also revised with larger valves and re-engineered combustion chambers. Horsepower increased to 90 bhp. It also had a higher ratio rear axle An inset grille and Morris Mini tail lamps appearing horizontally below the deck lid were the most obvious visual changes

In 1952, Mercedes had constructed a prototype of the Mercedes 300 SL “Gullwing”. The car had experimental spoiler-brake which was tested for the 24-hour race of Le Mans. The position of the Spoiler was regulated by the driver, putting it in a horizontal position or on a straight and vertical when he wanted to brake.
The tests were conducted on the track of Le Mans and the car was designed by Rudolf Uhlenhaut. The car had a tubular chassis which made the placement of conventional doors impossible on the car and that is why the car received gullwing doors.
The 300SL ‘Airbrake’ presented here was the test car on the 1952 Mille Miglia, moreover it finished 3rd at the Bern Grand Prix in 1952. It was also tested during 1952 Le Mans and finished 4th at the 1952 Nurburgring GP.

Prototype TATRA 604 nicknamed "LIDOVKA" won tender for people's car against inland rivals. Concept and engine design Julius Mackerle, industrial design František Kardaus. With rear-mounted air-cooled engine provided more room than imported 4CV by Renault. Fiat 600 was launched only a year later. In the centralised national planned economy the T604 had to give way to Škoda Spartak that was taken into series production. The T604 documentation is considered to have been provided to the Soviet Union, compare with: flic.kr/p/arUbm2

Built during France's Occupation, this highly sophisticated prototype microcar embodied the company's ambitions for the post-war years. Designed for large-scale industrial production, building the cabriolet in France was to prove impossible because of the restrictions in force on using steel at the time. So it was imported to the UK by car enthusiast Tom Delaney who was sure it had potential. But the same factors resulted in the same effects and production failed. After numerous attempts to get it onto the production line, the CHS ended up forgotten in a British garage for nearly 70 years… until one day in 2012 when Christophe Chausson, the grandson of one of the two founders, acquired the prototype at an auction. Partially restored by a team of specialists, the prototype will be on show for the first time at Rétromobile.

In 1990 Greater Manchester PTE exhibited a prototype bodyshell of one half of a Metrolink light rail vehicle beneath Manchester Piccadilly station. The bodyshell was built by Officine Casertane in Caserta, Italy (part of the Firema Consortium) and was originally painted in Greater Manchester PTE's orange and white livery. It was photographed on 13 May 1990.
The prototype bodyshell was subsequently repainted in Metrolink light grey, dark grey and aquamarine livery, numbered 1000 and named The Larry Sullivan. It joined the collection of vehicles at the Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester in 1992.
I always preferred this style over the one that was selected, but upcoming bumper and lighting regulations made another approach necessary.
These prototypes actually had a "Daitona" logo on the tail, Italians don't use the "Y". Some journalists found it amusing, much to the factory's displeasure, so it was officially removed.
A Hewlett Packard 65 alongside two HP-67 clear cased prototypes. The middle 67 has a serial number 9999A00196 indicating that it's a prototype made in the USA, the right clear 67 has no serial number, so it is more likely a demonstrator model.
Note the different internals of the two clear cases.
The HP 65 was the world's first hand held programmable calculator, introduced in 1974. The HP-67 was released in 1976, which was more powerful and had more memory. This photo symbolises part of that journey.
RM1 still with it's 'grilleless' front panel and RM 2 sit in the shadows. Both were later fitted with standard fronts, although RM 2 is currently being restored to it's original design.

This is one of the rare iPads to have been prototyped with portrait and landscape docking ports. Though Apple patented this design, they decided to remove the landscape port for the final production model.
The logic board, which is a different color than the production version, is date-stamped ©2009, which is the year prior to the release of the first iPad.
A sticker on the backside of the screen indicates that this is a PVT (Production Validation Test).
The battery also indicates the prototype status with two blank boxes that would normally contain compliance logos such as "CE."

My brother has motor oil in his veins. Motto Guzzis are his drug of choice. For his birthday I made him a catalogue of 10 Moto Guzzi prototypes that never made it to the production line (for obvious reasons). I normally only use my own images in my composites, but I had to pull the photos of the bikes and all the various added bit and pieces on the web. I'll put them in an album you can view so that I won't inundate everynoe that follows my photostream.
