Not much is known about this prototype. It came via trade from a prototype collector who wrote that this is, "The first stage of how iPhones come together; just to check chip sets and make sure all the components work together. There is a very special power board it needs to work; without it it doesn't."
So...I think it's time I reviewed my prototypes!
M16 w/ Masterkey attachement
I really do love this weapon, it's quite cool! The white color is very handy for winter scenes (WIP, look for one soon!) and overall is just quite nice. There isn't a whole lot of point in reviewing the design, since it is production now. :P My only comment is that I would love to see Mold #14 run in white, I think it compliments this weapon very nicely!
Mags
First-I love them. Perfectly scaled, and I would love to see a production run of them. I am lucky enough to have 2 black ones to go with my new production M16s, I can't wait to do a couple builds with them. I have no issues with the design, however as I would love to have more of them to go with the M16s, I would like to see a proto mold cut that allows many of them to be run at once, similar to the Derringer sprue. My favorite feature-They fit perfectly into the Brickforge utility belt!
Chakram
This is a pretty cool proto, and with a little creativity very handy! ;) I plan on painting the GiTD one with some black paint to make it more realistic. Not something I would hugely buy if put into production, but still handy to have on hand.
Derringer This is a nice proto, detail level is perfect as always. Although GiTD looks useless, I actually have an idea for a MOC with them which I'll be creating at some point. :P Nice for Steampunk scenes, I probably wouldn't get many as I don't build steampunk, but it's still a nice proto.
Advanced Battle Rifle
This is just a great weapon. I love it, all the details are great. It's hard to see, but it's in OD Green. I can see a lot of uses for it in both Apoc and modern. I love it in the OD green color, but I'd love to get a hold of one in rust too do some apoc figures. It's something I would just love to see in production, I would buy loads of them. I can also see many modding possibilities in this weapon.
Joint Force Sci-Fi Rifle (JFSR)
Oh yes. This weapon is just win, and in rust I love it. I am working on a apoc figure to display it with, even the WIP looks great with it. I love everything about it, it is amazing. <3 Personally I think it could use a little more detail, but not to much more. I really like the scope, I am planning on trying to mod it onto an AC8 if I can get one in GM or some other AC8 production color. For sure something that I would love in production.
Sprues
Although called useless by many, I actually think they are rather useful. As proved by DJB, They are rather useful for making gas-masks if modded. I personally like to use them as just random junk in apoc scenes.
SABR Shotgun (Not pictured)
I also have a SABR which I custom painted but forgot too add in the picture. So...Overall it's a nice gun, something I would love in mass production. I have seen a lot of custom painted ones, so I decided to try it myself. Came out pretty nice, I'll post a picture at some point.
So that concludes my review, enjoy!
I'm a sucker for any WWII weapons, but I have a special place in my heart for The PPSh. The PPSh has been a favorite of mine for a long time, and I've wanted to push for this one. Fortunately, I didn't have to! Apparently, it's one of Will and Ian's favorites too, so they made it! It's perfectly scaled, features all of the details it should, and has removable magazines! It needs some work to make the mags fit in without bending the gun, but this is one I really look forward to seeing more of soon...
More new BAP pics to come...

A BRCW class 110 DMSL heads North from the down sidings at Doncaster, hauling a vacuum-braked early Mk 2 BSO. It was very unusual to see a first generation DMU vehicle hauling conventional coaching stock, albeit only running ECS.
Note also that a traditional oil lamp is being used as a tail lamp - quite unusual by this date.

I am planning some big projects this year, including going to some local art shows in the surrounding area.
I plan on making my own display racks in hopes of differentiating myself from other vendors are local art shows. I have always tried to separate myself from the norm when possible and I think that will be a good step in getting my situation together.
I am planning on using wood as the foundation of my apparati. Here, you can see I had some help in overseeing the early development stages of concept construction.
Prototype 8 wheel Atlantean bus chassis, but never bodied as far as I can discover. I assume the basic idea was for the export market, the US perhaps? They certain like 8 legger buses now anyway.
it would appear that Leyland may have later renamed it as 'Dromedary' and it was built as a tanker by Thompson Brothers of Bilston. Thanks to all below for the extra info.
Well, during BrickWorld, the awesome Kyle gave me some more of his prototypes. these are the final versions (wrong color) of the new wave of products to b released. Enjoy!

An older shot Will took of the Time Bomb prototype that I've added to my Flickrstream for use on the BrickArms Forums
These are prototypes - not production.
They will be shown at BrickCon 2011, and included in the Castle Contributors Pack
I know it's not complete and in very raw state. Instead of finishing it, I will use it as a prototype for a new bjd body that will be made of another polymer clay.
The first Embraer KC-390 PT-ZNF starts its take-off roll at Farnborough Airport following its display at the previous week's trade show.
I can't remember why I have these or where I got them from, but I just unearthed them on my machine. Some interesting ideas here and there, no?
'Networker Classic' prototype, what would of been the BR class 424 seen here stored at Litchurch Ln Works in Derby.
This vehicle was originally a 4-CIG driving trailer 76112. The "Networker Classic" concept involved rebuilding Mark 1 design Southern Region EMUs of Classes 411, 421 and 423 to meet current crash-worthiness standards. This involved building a new bodyshell on the existing chassis, but keeping the original electrical and motor equipment. Therefore, the aim was to produce a 'new' unit at one quarter the cost of manufacturing a train from scratch. The rebuilt units would have had a life of at least fifteen years, thus saving considerable amounts of money when replacing old stock. However, for some reason the project was not successful, and train companies turned to new-build trains of Classes 375, 376, 377, 444, 450, 458, and 460 from various manufacturers.

Helmut Polensky (10 October 1915, Berlin – 6 November 2011, Saint-Tropez) was a German moto racer, racing driver and racing car constructor.
Polensky was the youngest of four sons. His father was an architect. After leaving school and finishing military service, he began a career as a professional motorcycle and auto racer. After the Second World War, he married. He spent the last decades of his life in Saint-Tropez.
Polensky began racing motorcycles as a club racer in the mid-1930s. In 1939, he switched to sports car racing, piloting a used BMW 328. The same year, he signed as an engineer apprentice with Auto Union, and also joined the National Socialist Motor Corps.
Polensky spent the Second World War as a logistics specialist in Berlin. In 1945 he escaped from a Soviet prisoner of war camp, fleeing to Hamburg. He worked there in 1946 as managing director of a small motor company.
In 1947, Polensky returned to Berlin and in the ruins opened one of the first Vespa dealerships in Germany. He also began racing again, designing and in his own workshop constructing a Formula Three racer with a 500 cc motorcycle engine, akin to the Cooper 500. Polensky's first model was the Kurpfalz. This was followed by the Monopoletta, a BMW-powered monoposto. Polensky raced his Monopoletta throughout the late 1940s across West Germany. In 1950, he was fifth overall in the West German Formula Three Championship.
In the early the 1950s, Polensky began to concentrate increasingly on sports car races. He entered the Mille Miglia in 1952. His wife served as co-driver several times in the Tour de France. Around the same time, he moved his family to Karlsruhe, where he opened a Volkswagen dealership. Driving a Porsche, he won the 1953 Coupe des Alpes and European Rally Championship, coming first overall in the championship. He was also eighth overall at the 12 Hours of Reims in 1954.
Polensky entered the 24 Hours of Le Mans three times. In 1955, he was shared a Porsche 550 with journalist Richard von Frankenberg, coming fourth overall and earning a class win. He also took the 21st Biennial Cup.
In 1956, Polensky quit racing to become a successful automobile dealer.
Valkenswaard 04-05-2001. There were 5 prototype Magiqs built (P1-P5 they were called) with order numbers 10001-10005. This is the first one, with some features that were not on the production Magiqs.P1-P4 were all in this army green and were scrapped without having been with a coach operator.

Using Fiat street car parts as a base Dante Giacosa designed the D46 which made its successful debut in 1946. Giacosa had a vast knowledge of Fiat bits and pieces as he had designed the legendary 500 Fiat Topolino before WWII. The engine and suspension were directly derived from the small Fiat but extensively modified for street and racing. The engine received dry sump lubrication and further tweaks considerably increased the power output to 60-70 bhp. With a spaceframe chassis[1] and weighing under 400 kg (880 lb) the available power was more than enough for competitive performance. Dusio's dream of a one model series came to nothing, but instead his D46s started to dominate the voiturette series. Highly talented drivers like Tazio Nuvolari piloted the D46 to multiple successes against more advanced but older racing cars.
This successes led to a much more ambitious single seater project that would prove too much for the small company despite some non racing sales. Ferdinand Porsche was commissioned to design and construct a full Grand Prix car which led to the innovative but complex Cisitalia 360. With a mid engined layout and four wheel drive the Type 360 was far too expensive for Dusio to support and the attempt essentially killed any further racing cars with only the street legal cars surviving the cut.
In my me-verse, Tony built a prototype stealth suit to get is normal suit back from A.I.M.
Faves and Comments are greatly appreciated.
The detail of the lock of the Musket prototype really comes through in this picture. Another great example of the detailing Will can put into his accessories while still maintaining that minifig aesthetic!
My experience at the Llano Earth Art Fest sparked many new ideas.
The way we were looked after and treated with love, the many amazing conversations I had with so many inspirational people and so much more.
It changed me.
Much of what I have made before has been intuitively done in one or two days: go out, explore, commune, create, photograph, write and post online. As a way of working it has served me well and brought me to where I am today.
I have come to rely on that process and have had little faith that I can create anything in any other way. This has meant I have been able to rest on my laurels as the intuitive process allows me to simply be happy with whatever comes out and to rarely try and strive for more.
By creating without a plan I didn't have to own what I made, it came out however it came out and I never felt like I was fully consciously involved. It happened to me or through me. But now my inner voice is saying something else and does not want to settle for whatever may happen. I want to achieve more. I want to express things with more passion, more competence and with more energy.
This is a simple prototype made today by the sea on a very windy morning. Now some of things I create will require practice and advancement of techniques before a vision is realised. You can see only the picture of what I made and not the hundred other things going on in me and behind the camera.
One day soon it will knit all together and I will be ready.
This very much reminds of of the very first translucent leaf sculpture I made which was the beginning of a whole new journey. The colours, the structure, the sky, the realisation that it was something new.
It seems quite apt it appears so.

A prototype of an early Newton MessagePad.
This device essentially consists of the circuitry from an Original MessagePad (OMP) or “Junior” device, with an extra set of ROM sockets grafted on. It boots into a Japanese prerelease version of the Newton OS (J-1b1.00) and was used by a company called Everchanging for testing localized versions of their FilePad and PowerForms products.
I was playing around with some parts at the end of summer and this popped out. I never got around to photographing it until now.
An early prototype of a mosaic to commemorate today's release of Lady Gaga's Judas video.
Although I decided not to go with this image ultimately, I was quite happy with the swirly nature of the multi-size tiles, which is much more easily viewed at full size.
I didn't upload the full-size original for this one, but you can see a MUCH LARGER version here:
THE LARGER VERSION of the LADY GAGA JUDAS prototype
Try it - you'll get a kick out of it!

From a collection of image files I have of camera prototypes from the 1940's and '50's: here a Voigtlander Brilliant with push button settings for focus, shutter speed, aperture and image tone.
I am designing a wooden framework for an animal figure prototype, to be used for Chinese New Year Wonderboxes we are creating with school children in 6 different maker courses this semester (bit.ly/wonderbox-overview ). We are working with animals from the Chinese Zodiac (e.g. monkey, dragon, horse, tiger), which we will laser cut on plywood, using Illustrator vector files.
Our challenge is to find simple ways to build cool animal figures and make them move, using the laser cut-outs as a frame — so kids can build them with inexpensive parts and without too much effort. To make them move, I am planning to attach a hobby motor at the back of the character, using a simple paper fan as propeller, as we did with an early paper prototype. It kinda works, but the mechanical design needs to be refined more. Tomorrow, we team up to build a couple different prototypes, using both artistic and engineering creativity to find a good solution.

Not models as they appear to be but full size prototypes at the British motor museum,Gaydon Warwickshire...Aug 7 2016.
This dessert alone made me want to work at a certain restaurant in NYC years ago. There's not much else that I could say about the experience that would be positive but I was just talking to a flickr friend for the first time the other night and we both worked at that restaurant. Only a few months apart. Crazy world.
Anyway, if you're still on the fence about attending the pork dinner, this may be the dessert....
