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.

The Jaguar XJ13 was a prototype racing car developed by Jaguar Engineering Director William Heynes to compete at Le Mans in the mid 1960s.
Jaguar had considered the manufacture of a DOHC V12 engine as far back as 1950, initially for racing purposes, and then developing a SOHC road going version, unlike the XK which was designed as a production engine and later pressed into service for racing. The engine design was essentially two XK 6-cylinder engines on a common crankshaft with an aluminium cylinder block, although there were differences in the inlet porting, valve angles and combustion chamber shape. The first engine ran in July 1964.
The design structure of a mid-engined prototype was first mooted in 1960 by William Heynes, but it was not until 1965 that construction began, with the first car running by March 1966. The aluminium body exterior was designed by Malcolm Sayer, the aerodynamicist responsible for aerodynamic air flow work on the Jaguar C-type, D-type, who used his Bristol Aeroplane Company background to build it using techniques borrowed from the aircraft industry. The task of building the car was entrusted by Heynes to Engineer Derick White, Ted Brookes, Mike Kimberley, Bob Blake in the Browns Lane experimental department's "competition shop".
The XJ13 had mid-engine format with the 5.0 litre V12 engine designed by Heynes and Claude Bailey, it produces 502 horsepower in 7600 rpm, mounted behind the driver, used as a stressed chassis member together with the five-speed manual ZF Transaxle driving the rear wheels.
In 1971 the Series 3 E-type was about to be launched with Jaguar's first production V12 engine. The publicity team wanted a shot of the XJ13 at speed for the opening sequence of the film launching the V12 E-Type. On 21 January 1971, the XJ13 was taken to MIRA for the filming with Jaguar test driver Norman Dewis at the wheel. Sadly, the car was driven by Dewis at speed on a damaged tyre, against the instructions of Jaguar director England. The resultant crash heavily damaged and nearly destroyed the car, although Dewis was unharmed. The wreck of the car was put back into storage.
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.

So I got my hands on the prototype Portal gun at the New York Toy Fair this morning. I was told it would be closer to $150, not $120, and it’ll be ready mid to late this year. They’re not sure yet where it will be sold, but Toys R Us was mentioned as a possibility. It’s satisfyingly large, the handle feels good and the thumb toggle to change from orange to blue and back is intuitive, the trigger is a trigger… nothing to get excited or upset over. It feels cheap. It looks cheap. But it also looks easy to dismantle for bulking up and repainting to improve. Honestly, I sort of feel that for the price that shouldn’t be needed, but I can deal with it. This one is not the finished product though, they will at least paint that inner core bit that should be black. Also the orange will be as bright as the blue and the sound effects which were weak should be louder and clearer. I wouldn’t say I’m disappointed, as I expected such flaws, so I’ll still be picking one up. But I can see a lot of unhappy fans that want perfection. Then again, considering the other game replica weapons I’ve seen, and for something this size with lights and sounds, the price is not bad and the cheapness is tolerable to make the price slightly more reasonable.

Nothing you see here is real, even though the conversion or the presented background story might be based historical facts. BEWARE!
Some background
The Messerschmitt Me 709 was a derivate of the unsuccessful German World War II Me 309 fighter project and its short-lived Zwilling descendant, the Me 609 which joined two fuselages of the Me 309 fighter prototype together to form a heavy fighter. The Me 609 project was initiated in response to a 1941 Reich Air Ministry requirement for a new Zerstörer (heavy fighter) to replace the Bf 110 in a minimum time and with minimum new parts.
In the Me 609 development phase, Messerschmitt had actually contemplated numerous twin-boom adaptations of its Bf 109 line including the Bf 109Z (which joined two Bf 109s) and the Me 409 (which used two Me 209-II aircraft). When it became clear that the Me 609 would not be cleared for service due to the progress in jet fighter development, the program was shelved - but quickly revived in 1943 when the high hopes in the jet engines were disappointed.
When it became clear that no jet fighter with a true dogfight capability would be in service on short notice, the RLM called for a high speed interceptor against high flying USAF bombers and their long range fighter escorts. The fast De Havilland Mosquito was another threat which was hard to counter with the existing types in service. A top speed of more than 750 km/h was requested, as well as a high rate of climb and a high agility for close combat. The fighter should also be easy to build and use many proven components in order to get it into service as quickly as possible.
Messerschmitt’s resulting Me 709 was basically a redesigned Me 309/609, since it was clear that only a twin-engined aircraft could meet the RLM requirements. Instead of two joined Me 309 fuselages with a new center wing section into which the two inboard wheels of the landing gear would retract, the Me 709 used a pull/push layout, very similar to the Fokker D-XXIII fighter. Main reason for this decision was the attempt to minimize drag and keep overall dimensions as compact as possible, offering only a small target. Easy single engine handling and high roll rate due to the weight masses centered along the longitudinal axis were another benefit of the concept. Additionally, the impressive results of the Dornier Do 335 development had additional influence. From this project, the Me 709's ejection seat (using pressurized air) and a mechanism to blow off the tail propeller fins in a case of emergency were incorporated.
The Me 709 kept the Me 309's tricycle undercarriage, even though the main wheels now retracted inwards into the center wing sections. The slender tail booms contained two separate radiator baths, the gun armament above them and fuel tanks. Additional tanks were located in the inner wing sections, before and aft the landing gear wells, as well as under the cockpit, where the Me 309 originally had its retractable radiator mounted. The tail booms were connected by a single horizontal stabilizer, taken straight from the Me 609. The second engine behind the pressurized cockpit (also taken from the Me 309) caused a considerable CG shift aft, so that the Me 309’s original wing main spar had to be moved backwards by almost 4' – but since the original radiator had been deleted, this caused no big problem and actually improved the field of view for the pilot.
Initially, two fighter versions of the Me 709 were planned, both single seaters and differing mainly in the outer wing sections. The 'A' series would be a highly agile fighter for medium to low heights, with a secondary use as fighter bomber for close air support. Armament was projected with four lightweight 30 mm MK 108 cannons, but since these highly effective guns were reserved for other projects like the Me 262, two of the guns were substituted with the heavier (but also more powerful) MK 103 cannons, or all four guns would be replaced by 20mm MG 151/20 cannons. The 'B' series would have a longer wing span (+3,6m/11 ft 9½ in) and reduced/lighter armament (only two MG 151/20), optimized for high altitude interceptions and reconnaissance.
An additional projected version, the Me 709 'C', would be outfitted as a fast bomber, with a semi-recessed 1.000kg bomb under the fuselage, provisions for additional lighter bombs under the tail booms, paired with the reduced gun armament and the longer wing span from the B version, but with additional fuel in integral tanks in the outer wing sections.
Two prototypes of the A and B version each were quickly assembled from existing Me 309 airframes, first flight tests took place in October 1944. Initially, the Me 709s were equipped with the Daimler-Benz DB 603G engine, but later use of the Jumo 213 engine with 2.000 hp and more was envisaged, pushing the top speed beyond 500mph/800km/h .
Flight tests were successful, even though the A fighter lacked directional stability and the high altitude B fighter would offer no real advantage compared to the simpler, single-engined Focke Wulf Ta 152. In January 1945, the RLM decided consequently to drop the B version, but the Me 709 A was to be developed further. Five additional pre-production airframes (A-0 series) were ordered and delivered until April 1945. These new machines featured, among other detail improvements, a recognizable dihedral to the outer wing sections, which also carried drooped wing tips. This proved to be a successful measure to improve stability, but the Me 709 A remained a rather nervous plane that constantly called for an attentive pilot. In this guise, the Me 709 A-1 was cleared and ordered for production. Delivery of the first serial machines took place in June 1945, and they were mainly used for home defense.
Several equipment packages (‘Rüstsätze’) were quickly developed and added to field machines. They would allow the carriage of various external loads, e .g. an ETC for a single max. 1.000kg bomb under the fuselage (R1), 2× 300l drop tanks on hardpoints under the tail booms (R2) or wooden racks with 2× 12 unguided R4M missiles under the outer wings (R3). After an initial batch of forty A-1 aircraft, R1 and R2 were incorporated into series production, which then became, with several other equipment changes, the A-2 main series. Almost all older models were brought to this standard within a few months, even though the gun armament differed considerably between individual aircraft.
All in all, a total of 243 Me 709 were built, all of them A series aircraft. By the time designs were being ironed out, the revolutionary Me 262 and Ar 234 turbojets and the introduction of more potent and reliable jet engines like the Heinkel-Hirth HeS 011 negated the need for further piston-engined fighter design and stopped further development of the Me 709.

The kit and its assembly
This what-if was inspired by a picture of a very similar model I found a while ago in the WWW, and I found the idea of a push/pull Me 109 derivate very attractive. Why not? When I thought about how to realize such a model with as little effort as possible, I came across HUMA's Me 609 kit - and this basically offered anything necessary, bare the tail booms. These were quickly gathered from the spare box: they come from a Fw 189 (Airfix) and were cut just behind the wings’ trailing edge. Still a bit thick, but the idea of using the front as radiator intakes is a neat solution which also frees the fuselage from the bulky cooler tub of the Me 309.
Originally I wanted to incorporate the original outer wings of HUMA's Me 609 (which are 100% Me 309 wings - you even have to close the landing gear bays by yourself to use them in the original kit!), but found the wing span to become much too big for my conversion – they inspired the ‘B’ version, though. Anyway, I was lucky that I found a pair of He 162 wings in the scrap box, leftover pieces from my Ki-53 whif. They fit nicely in size and design, and this way the ‘A’ version was born.
Almost anything in my Me 709 build comes from the HUMA kit, but it took some putty work to put some of the parts together. Esp. melding the additional rearward-facing engine with the shortened Me 309 fuselage was tricky. Another challenge was to moving the inner wing sections backwards – the original single part had to be cut in half, so that the original intersections did not fit anymore.
.As a side note: Fit and detail of the HUMA kit is rather poor, and the material is rather waxy. O.K., it is a small company, with limited production runs. But for the fact that this kit has been around for so long, quality standards of the late 70ies are IMHO hard to accept. Best thing about the kit is the injected clear canopy… Good that I got the kit rather cheap - if I had to build it OOB, I'd be really disappointed!
Further modifications include the closure of the original radiator bath under the fuselage, and the rear engine (cut away from the leftover second fuselage) needed some serious surgery, including the closure of the landing gear bay under the engine. The rear exhausts had to be built from scratch, since the rear engine's exhaust would face forwards (they are molded onto the fuselage) and also obstruct the attachment area to the forward fuselage.
Painting and markings
For this plane, a typical late German WWII paint scheme was intended, and I settled for a late Bf 109 G livery in RLM 81/82/76 (Braunviolett, Dunkelgrün and Lichtblau), with a wavy but clear demarcation between upper and lower sides and a few, sharp blotches along the flanks. Testors/Model Master paints were used with authentic RLM tones (Testors 2090 and 2091 for above, Humbrol 128 below). In s second step, these colors were lightened/bleached through dry-brushing with slightly lighter tones (Humbrol 155 and 116 on top sides, Testors 2086 below). Additionally, a light black ink wash was applied in order to emphasize details and panel lines, and I added some patches with RLM 76 and 02 which are to represent areas where older markings had been painted over in a hurry. All trim tabs were painted in red brown (Humbrol 100), the spinners were painted 2/3 black, 1/3 white, a typical Me 109 F/G/K design.
For squadron markings, I wanted to have something authentic. The red and blue bands around the tail booms are typical late war ID markings, they belong to the 7th Jagdstaffel (JG. 7). Furthermore, the yellow horizontal bar marks the machine as being part of the 2nd group (which organizationally comprises 2nd, 6th, 10th squadron etc.).
The simple black chevron with white outlines on the central fuselage shows that the pilot is the Group's Second-in-Command (Gruppenadjutant), I christened him Ferdinand Walgenbach, totally fictional and with no real person in mind. As an officer’s personal ride, the plane consequently carries no further tactical code, e .g. a number in the group’s color. The small "A" in the chevron (obscured by exhaust dirt) is a personal addition of the pilot - not unusual among officers' markings. The Luftwaffe had a complicated system, didn’t they?
Bands and squadron markings were puzzled together from various TL Modellbau decal sheets from Germany, very good stuff for individual conversions and of high printing quality.
Another side note: The "Planes & Pilots" book series from France is a very good reference and inspiration here, as well as for squadron markings.
In the end, the result looks less spectacular than expected?
de Havilland DH98 Mosquito prototype W4050 (E0234) preserved at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum, London Colney and close to Hatfield where it's first flight took place on 25th November 1940.
One of the most versatile aircraft of WWII, the mosquito was originally conceived as an unarmed fast bomber, but was also adapted to roles including tactical bomber, high-altitude night bomber, pathfinder, day or night fighter, fighter-bomber, intruder, maritime strike aircraft, and fast photo-reconnaissance aircraft.
This aircraft is particularly unique as it’s rare for an original prototype of a WWII era combat aircraft to survive to this day.
These were the Brickarms prototypes I got at Brickfair 2011. I have one more derringer but its not in the pic. I got the derringer and the lever-actions from the Western Marshall figures i bought. I got the trench gun prototype from badger. Thanks very much to him. Unfortunately I couldn't get any Gangster figures cause they were sold out. I appreciate what I got very much! Thanks to Brickarms!
This is a special project for my US customer, Paul & he has requested a model I never make: EFV the new AAAV project for the USMC, there are fews prototypes & testing, so I did my best & made this prototype, Please dont call the DOD & I know nothing about their new AAAV... :P

This is a prototype keyboard, likely an early version missing all printing on the keys, case and underside.
I purchased this from Dick Huston, ex-Apple engineer (Apple employee #25).
He wrote, "Here's a curious thing - a keyboard without labeling on the keys. It's a prototype that was kicking around the engineering offices that I found amusing because, to this day, I have to LOOK to see what I'm typing.
"The keyboard would work with any Newton with OS 2.0 or greater, but was primarily intended to be used with the MP2000/2100 series. This one is among the first produced, as evidenced by the lack of labeling on the keys."

This is a late stage iPhone prototype - very similar to the released 2G but with some notable differences including:
- On the back aluminum cover, the word “iPhone” it’s not etched and in small print it reads “This device has not been authorized as required by the rules of the FCC…………etc”.
- Firmware is 1.0 but it also comes with testing applications (Sally, SimpleApp and one that I think is SkankOne)- launchable from the main menu.
- The cell features are fully functional but it seems to be locked to ATT Sim cards.
The serial number indicates that it was manufactured in in China, the 51st week of 2006 (the iPhone was announced the 1st week of 2007 and released June 29, 2007)
Prototype made to test the idea of the designer. Fabrics are from Anna Maria Horner's Good Folks line purchased from CityCraft citycraftonline.com/ many moons ago.
Love how this turned out & can't wait to make the real deal from the designer's fabrics.

Another view of the prototype Deltic taken outside Shildon Locomotion railway museum in 2006.
Does anyone know what happened to the roof mounted horns on this locomotive,They were there when it was on display at York,where are they now??
Our teams produce food prototypes very early in the development process and hold informal tasting sessions.
Here are all my prototypes all organized and stuff. If you have a taste for any of them, just let me know and I will let you know if I wish to sell any but since most of these were given to me directly by Will, I doubt I will let any slip.
We are told to "Be alert" and as I didn't know what a lert looked like I decided to use my imagination.
As they obviously spend most of their time at their post in window corners I felt that they wouldn't have much time to shop for clothes.
They always carry their treasures around with them and so there was an obvious need for their garments to be tied together with strips of fabric which would be useful to tuck their treasures into.
I have made the prototype from curtain "bump", strips of newspaper and old tissue, fabric, ink, stitch, a rusty screw and gesso.
These are tiny creatures so getting a suitable expression which combines terror, keenness and apprehension was difficult.
I think the isolation is getting to me!

This prototype model, created by Apple Industrial Design Group and Matrix Product Design, dates from 1989 during work on the Macintosh LC.
The model has the usual slot for a 3.5 inch floppy in the front, but has a vertically-oriented screen not used on any production models.
