My friend James recently took a follow-up trip to Japan that basically replicated the vacation that he would have taken when we all went together last March, but was cut short by the horrible earthquake/tsunami disaster. He's been home for a few weeks now and has been posting some great photos of his time spent at Tokyo Disney. I was crossing my fingers and hoping that he had taken and would post a specific photo, and a few days ago he finally did. What's amazing is that this photo I took back in March was done when he wasn't around, so he had no idea that I had taken it. Somehow, upon his return to Disney Sea, he saw the same beautiful image in his head and the perfect ledge that would allow for the longer exposure. The result is two photos that are exactly the same, minus some personal processing preference and a slighter wider angle due to his slightly wider lens. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

In replicating this fifth-gen stealth fighter, I was aiming for:
– Smooth: nearly studless in form.
– Integrated: packing in a host of features.
– Fresh: incorporating new pieces and techniques.
and of course, purist! (at least, for now; I may experiment with designing some Marine Corps liveries on waterslide decals for mere aesthetic decoration that denotes the squadron affiliation…)
The 1:40 scale replica includes:
– Opening cockpit that holds pilot, control panel, and joystick
– Hidden weapon bays in fuselage for stealth missions
– Optional exterior loadout for air-to-ground attacks
– Retracting landing gear that supports the model
– Opening flaps, rotating fan blades, and tilting vector nozzle for VTOL
– Stable Technic display stand and brick-built name plaque.
This is the first MOC I’ve finished in about five years (during which I completed my university degree, got my full-time career job, moved out, got married, and a few other things), after working on it off-and-on for at least three years. [The real-life aircraft has suffered from its own extensive delays in design / production, so I guess it could be worse where my LEGO one is concerned. XD]
A big thank-you to everyone who has inspired me along the way, including special acknowledgements to AFOL friends like the Chiles family and Eli Willsea for helping rekindle my joy in the hobby; Brickmania, for showing me a few new hinge techniques that I incorporated during these last few months of the design process; and especially my lovely wife Natalie who, bless her heart, has allowed the dining room of our tiny apartment to serve as my building studio and encouraged me to use it more often as such!
Let me know what you guys think!

Clashing Knights. Jousting. Maryland Renaissance Festival. Sep/2016
Jousting is a martial game or hastilude between two horsemen wielding lances with blunted tips, often as part of a tournament. The primary aim was to replicate a clash of heavy cavalry, with each opponent endeavoring to strike the opponent while riding towards him at high speed, if possible breaking the lance on the opponent's shield or jousting armour, or unhorsing him. The joust became an iconic characteristic of the knight in Romantic medievalism.
The term is derived from Old French joster, ultimately from a Late Latin infare "to approach, to meet". The word was loaned into Middle English around 1300, when jousting was a very popular sport among the Anglo-Norman knighthood. The synonym tilt dates ca. 1510.
Jousting is based on the military use of the lance by heavy cavalry. It transformed into a specialised sport during the Late Middle Ages, and remained popular with the nobility in England and Wales and Germany throughout the whole of the 16th century (while in France, it was discontinued after the death of King Henry II in an accident in 1559).[1] In England, jousting was the highlight of the Accession Day tiltsof Elizabeth I and James I, and also was part of the festivities at the marriage of Charles I.[2]
Jousting was discontinued in favour of other equestrian sports in the 17th century, although non-contact forms of "equestrian skill-at-arms" disciplines survived. There has been a limited revival of theatrical jousting re-enactment since the 1970s

Justa é um desporto jogado por dois cavaleiros com armaduras montados em cavalos. Consiste numa competição marcial entre doiscavaleiros montados, usando uma variedade de armas, geralmente em grupos de três por arma (como a inclinação com um lança, os golpes com machados, ou os golpes com a espada), entre outros, muitas vezes, como parte de um torneio.[1]
A justa foi um jogo marcial na Idade Média, sendo necessário ter uma habilidade muito grande para praticar este desporto. Embora o primeiro torneio foi feito em 1066, a justa não ganhou popularidade generalizada até o século XII. É mantido o seu estatuto como um desporto popular europeu até ao início do século XVII.
A justa foi incorporada em torneios vários séculos após a sua estreia. O torneio permitiu uma melhor exibição da habilidade individual e, embora perigosa, ofereceram grandes somas de dinheiro do prémio. Muitos cavaleiros fizeram a sua fortuna com esses eventos, enquanto muitos perderam a fortuna ou mesmo a vida. Por exemplo, Henrique II da França morreu quando uma lança do seu adversário atravessou a sua viseira e a quebrou em fragmentos, cegando o olho direito e penetrando na sua órbita direita e têmpora. 1. As Justas eram disputadas entre dois cavaleiros, convenientemente revestidos de pesadas armaduras e protegidos por escudos especiais.Eram torneios realizados em terra plana, onde os combatentes tinham de ter uma boa preparação física e as suas armas bem preparadas. Eles empunhavam pesadíssimas lanças de ferro.

I'm trying to replicate the experience of the images I see when my eyes are closed. A sense of the colours and shapes I see through my eyelids.
I started off by trying to paint patterns in red on a canvas. But then I realized that these images seem better when I photograph them out of focus.
I used Winsor and Newton acrylic paints on an A5 size canvas. Mixing paints is something I really enjoy. This is a combination of Naphthol Red Light and Permanent Alizarin Crimson. I can then photographically adjust the colours slightly depending on how I light and edit the shot. The photography, in this sense, adds another dimension to what I can do to create colour.
To be continued....
Original photo rendered in b&w, and that was all.
Taken in a garden where all the statues were replaced by flat white replicas, because the originals are being repaired. Not nice to see, and I suppose people around have fiund it odd to see me photographing them, but you can always find an interesting way of looking at less beautiful things.

Concrete pillboxes built to replicate Nazi bunkers rest on an old cattle farm now an area of critical environmental concern managed by the BLM in southwest Oregon, Sept. 26, 2018. BLM video: Toshio Suzuki
A quiet oak savanna in southwest Oregon has a World War II story to tell.
It was the summer of 1942 when thousands of young American troops started arriving in Oregon to prepare for battle.
Only months prior, immediately after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and America’s entry into WWII, the U.S. Army broke ground on Camp White, a massively ambitious training ground for troops north of Medford.
The national war effort was ramping up, and from the rationing at home to the drill sergeants yelling at new draftees, the task at hand was unified: Get America prepared for war as fast as possible.
At Camp White, in the heart of the Rogue River Valley, it got loud very quick.
Construction crews worked 24 hours a day until the base, consisting of 1,300 structures, was complete. Barracks, mess halls, a railroad, full electrical grid and sewer system were all built in six months.
And then the troops arrived.
The newly reinstated 91st Division went on 91-mile-long hikes.
They fired bazookas, mortars and tanks.
And they attacked concrete pillboxes built to replicate Nazi bunkers.
Despite creating what was then Oregon’s second most populous city at 40,000 people, there are now only a few lasting structures proving Camp White ever existed. Sadly, there are even fewer first-hand memories.
The pillboxes are still standing, though. They simultaneously represent a mostly forgotten military legacy and since 2013, an opportunity for historic preservation.
After decades of private cattle farming, Camp White’s pillboxes now rest on public land.

Assembled in Adobe Ideas, which has no provision for straight lines (a surprising shortcoming for a vector based app), so my improvised "straight" lines wobble. All the other irregularities are intentional, or maybe it is all simply more evidence of a seemingly orderly mind going astray.
By the way, this demonstrates again my aversion to symmetry which, however, I've noticed is much liked by many other amateur digital artists. The kind of symmetry I like best is what turns out on closer inspection not to be symmetrical, such as people's eyes, ears, face, arms, legs, etc. Nature seems to be full of near symmetries. I like better the much different and more interesting asymmetries of, say, friends and couples. Decades ago when I collected stamps there was a set with designs of folded paper cutouts (based I think on a folk tradition in Poland) which always changed something in each section when it was unfolded, to avoid any exact symmetries. That was what I liked best about those cutouts.
One of the spookiest near encounters for me was about 30 years ago when a young man my age and build walked past me on the sidewalk and I swear he looked exactly like I do in the mirror and pictures. I might have walked faster then to avoid any chance of him wanting to talk to me, though it seemed that he didn't notice me or maybe saw no similarity. Some people say they would like to have had a twin and one of my best friends in high school was a twin (I was one of the few outside his family who could easily tell him apart from his brother). One of me is just fine and yet quite enough -- two of me would be one too many.

The very last of British Leyland's attempt to replicate the success of the Mini. Though the Metro did sell strong on the domestic market, it's ability to woo the international market like its predecessor was sadly not meant to be. Here is the very last Rover 100 Metro, signed by members of the production team as it left the Longbridge factory for the last time.
Originally conceived by British Leyland, the Metro was built to similar principals as those of the Mini it was intended to replace, with a small, practical platform with as much use available to the passenger as was possible. The car came under various initial guises, including the Austin Metro, the Austin miniMetro, the Morris Metro van and the MG Metro, a version of the car with a 1.3L A-Series Turbo Engine.
Although the car was launched in 1980, development of a Mini replacement had dated back to the beginning of the 70's. Dubbed ADO88 (Amalgamated Drawing Office project number 88), the Metro was eventually given the go ahead in 1977, but wanted to have the appeal of some of the larger 'Supermini' (what a contradiction in terms) cars on the market, including cars such as the Ford Fiesta and the Renault 5. Designed by Harris Mann (the same guy who gave us the Princess and the Allegro), the car was given a much more angular body for the time, but despite its futuristic looks did share many features of the earlier Mini, including the 675cc BMC-A Series engine that dated back to 1959, and the gearbox. Initial cars also included the Hydragas Suspension system originally used on the Allegro and the Princess, though with no front/rear connection. The car was also built as a hatchback, which would eventually be a key part of its success as the Mini instead utilised only a small boot.
The Metro was originally meant for an earlier 1978 launch, but a lack of funds and near bankruptcy of British Leyland resulted in the car's launch being pushed back. This delay however did allow the folks at Longbridge to construct a £200m robotic assembly plant for the new Metro line, with the hope of building 100,000 cars per year. Finally the car entered sales 3 years late and got off to quite promising initial sales, often being credited for being the saviour of British Leyland. The Metro was in fact the company's first truly new model in nearly 5 years, with the 9 year old Allegro still in production, the 1980 Morris Ital being nothing more than a 7 year old Marina with a new face, and the 5 year old Princess not going anywhere!
As mentioned, an entire myriad of versions came with the Metro, including the luxury Vanden Plas version and the sporty MG with its top speed of 105mph and 0-60mph of 10.1 seconds. Eventually the original incarnation of the car, the Austin Metro, went on to sell 1 million units in it's initial 10 year run, making it the second highest selling car of the decade behind the Ford Escort. However, like most other British Leyland products, earlier cars got a bad reputation for poor build quality and unreliability, combined with the lack of rustproofing that was notorious on many BL cars of the time.
The show was not over however, as in 1990 the car was given a facelift and dubbed the Rover Metro. The 1950's A-Series engine was replaced by a 1.1L K-Series, and the angular bodyshell was rounded to similar principals as those by acclaimed styling house Ital to create a more pleasing look for the 90's. This facelift, combined with an improvement in reliability and build quality, meant that the car went on to win the 'What Car?' of the Year Award in 1991.
In 1994 the car was given yet another facelift, with once again a more rounded design and removal of the Metro name, the car being sold as the Rover 100. Engines were once again changed, this time to a 1.5L Peugeot engine and more audacious colour schemes were available for the even more rounded design of the new car. However, the car was very much starting to look and feel its age. Aside from the fact that the design dated back to 1977, the new car was not well equipped, lacking electric windows, anti-lock brakes, power steering, or even a rev counter! In terms of safety, it was very basic, with most features such as airbags, an alarm, an immobiliser and central locking being optional extras.
Eventually the curtain had to fall on the Metro, and in 1997, twenty years after the initial design left the drawing board, it was announced that the car would be discontinued. Spurred on by dwindling sales due to lack of safety and equipment, as well as losing out to comparative cars such as the ever popular Ford Fiesta, VW Polo and Vauxhall Corsa, with only fuel economy keeping the car afloat, Rover axed the Metro in 1998 with no direct replacement, although many cite the downsized Rover 200 a possible contender. Stumbling blindly on, the next car to fill the gap in Rover's market was the 2003 CityRover, based on the TATA Indica, which flopped abysmally and pretty much totalled the company (but that's another story).
In the end only 2,078,000 Metro's were built in comparison to the 5.3 million examples of the Mini that it was meant to replace. The main failings of the Metro were down to the fact that the car was too big compared to the Mini, and the rounded old-world charm of the Coopers and Clubmans was replaced by the angular corners. Because of this the car simply didn't have the novelty that the Mini continued to claim even 20 years after the first ones left the factory, and the Mini would even go on to outlive the Metro by another 2 years, ending production in 2000, then going on to have a revival in the form of BMW's New Mini Cooper that's still being built today. Unlike the Mini, the Metro also failed to conquer the international market in the same way, scoring its 2 million units pretty much in Britain alone, although some cars were sold in France and Spain, but only to the total of a few hundred.
The Metro however survived only on fuel economy and its spacious interior, but by the early 1990's, whilst other car manufacturers had moved on leaps and bounds, Rover continued to be stuck in the past with not the money or the enthusiasm to change what was a terribly outdated and extremely basic car. Towards the end the Metro, which had only a few years earlier won awards for its practical nature, was ending up on lists for Worst car on the market.
Today however you can still see Metro's, later editions are especially common on the roads of Britain. Earlier models built under British Leyland have mostly rusted away and are apparently only down to about a thousand nowadays, but the Rover 100's and Rover Metros continue to ply their trade, a lonely reminder of how here in Britain, we can never ever seem to move on!

the entrance to the new manufacturing facility which recently came online.
I encouraged them to include a jar of finely moldable clay with each of their new 3D scanners, with no explanation needed. People might think more about creation and less about copying with their "Replicator".
More generally, I think we need a new framework for 3D content creation, as it has held back so many 3D dreams, from VRML in the 90s to 3D printing today. If you want to create a 3D model of a teacup, it’s just way too difficult for most people using geometric primitives of addition and subtraction, manipulated and rotated with 2D tools separated in space (a screen and touchpad or mouse).
My first thought was that perhaps we could reconceptualize the digital process: instead of manipulating polygons, what if we had digital clay — malleable and asymmetric and organic — that snapped to polygons and various axes of symmetry after the fact? The UI would naturally support multitouch screens where we see the clay under our fingers and need not project and rotate 3D objects in our minds.
And with a 3D scanner, MakerBot could take a step in that direction by providing rudimentary post-processing of scanned clay. With 3D printing, the objects don’t have to be symmetric. Complexity comes for free in a 3D print. Objects may be a bit more artistic and organic with asymmetries. So the post-processing could include a slider for smoothing… and perhaps a way to recognize Platonic forms like a circular or elliptical curve, offering various snap-to-grid options if wanted.

Looking towards the Belshotmuir outstation for Hutchison of Overtown (Hutchison Coaches).
Pictured are two Volvo Wright Renowns, replicating both Y181BGB & Y182BGB of the real life Hutchison, painted in a different livery for the Queens Jubilee. Both 181 & 182 would see further work with First Glasgow following their takeover of Hutchison’s, and 182 survives now in preservation - kept at the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust (GVVT) at Bridgeton, having been repainted into as new state with the livery shown here.
To the right rear side is an Optare Delta, painted into the standard Hutchison livery, including Buggy Bus signage. This model was used as a stand in for the Optare Vecta & Excels used by the real company. Unfortunately I’ve found it impossible so far to get my hands on an Excel kit, however I feel the Delta does the job pretty well.
To right left side is a Super Low Floor Dennis Dart, again painted into the standard livery complete with Buggy Bus stickers. This model is also used as a stand in for a different bus type used in reality - that being an ALX300 with VRM - X304 JGE.
All models pictured are code 3 conversions of standard EFE releases. All have been dismantled, stripped and repainted (including interior detailing) and completed with a mixture of Sunrise & custom commissioned water slide transfers. All work is my own.
