Painting and markings:
As mentioned above, the livery is based on an official profile which I deem authentic and canonical. My aircraft depicts a different machine from VFT-127, though, since I could not (and did not really want to) 100% replicate the profile's machine from the Macross PLUS source book, "13 Red". Especially the squadron’s emblem on the fin would create massive problems.
For the two-tone wrap-around scheme I used Humbrol 72 (Khaki Drill) and 98 (Chocolate Brown), based on the printed colors in the source book where I found the scheme. The pattern is kept close to the benchmark profile, and, lacking an underside view, I just mirrored the upper scheme. The starboard side pattern was guesstimated.
As a second-line aggressor aircraft, I weathered the VF-4 with a black ink wash, some post-shading with various lighter tones (including Humbrol 160, 168, 170 and 187) and did some wet-sanding treatment for an uneven and worn look.
Interior surfaces were painted according to visual references from various sources: the landing gear and the air intakes became white, while the cockpit was painted in RAF Dark Sea Grey.
In order to add some color to the overall brown aircraft I decided to paint the missiles all around the hull in white with tan tips – in the profile, the appear to be integrated into the camouflage, what I found dubious.
Most stencils come from the OOB sheet, but I added some more from the scrap box. The grey "kite" roundels come from an 1:72 Hasegawa Macross F-14 Tomcat kit sheet, which I acquired separately for a reasonable price. Even though it took four weeks to be delivered from Asia, the investment was worthwhile, since the sheet also provided some useful low-viz stencils.
The VAT-127 “Zentraedi Busters” unique tail insignia was more complicated, because these had to be printed at home. As a side note, concerning the fin marking, I recently found a translation of the benchmark profile's text on mahq.net, which is interesting: "The Regult within the targeting reticle on the tail met with disapproval from micronized Zentraedi pilots, and so was only used for a short time." The comment also reveals that the original aircraft's modex is "713", not just "13" as depicted, so I tried to reflect these details on my build, too.
I eventually settled for a solution that was partly inspired by the kit’s OOB fin marking and the wish for more contrast for the motif: I scanned the original Regult pod illustration from the source book and printed it on white decal sheet. This was sealed with two layers of glossy acrylic varnish (applied with a rattle can) and then cut into a white field that fills the fixed part of the fin (using the WAVE kit’s OOB fin markings as reference). Once in place and dry, two black outlines were added separately (generic decal material) which help blend the decal and the surroundings. Finally, thin strips of silver decal sheet were used for the fins’ leading edges.
This design variation, compared with the original “13 Red” illustration, led to the idea of a flight leader’s machine with slightly more prominent markings. In order to take this concept further I also gave the aircraft a white stripe around the front fuselage, placed under the kite roundel and again with black outlines for a consistent look. It’s not much different from “13 Red”, but I think that it looks conclusive and, together with the white fin markings and the missiles, livens up the VF-4’s look.
The appropriate flight leader tactical code “01 Red” was puzzled together from single digits from a Begemot Su-27 sheet, the rest of the bort numbers were taken from the OOB sheet (which incidentally feature a “01” code, too).
Concerning the OOB decal sheet, there’s much light but also some deep shadow. While the register is excellent and the carrier film flexible enough to lay down smoothly, the instructions lack information where to place the zillion of stencils (“No step” and “Beware of Blast” stuff) are to be placed! You only get references for the major markings – the rest has either to be guessed, OR you are in possession of the VF-4 source book from Softbank Publishing which was (incidentally?) released in parallel with the WAVE kit. This mecha porn offers an overview of all(!) relevant stencils on the VF-4A’s hull, and ONLY with this information the exhaustive decal sheet makes some sense…
As final steps, the VF-4 received some dry-brushing with light grey around the leading edges, some chipped paint was simulated with dry-brushed aluminum and, finally, light soot stains around the vectoring nozzles all around the hull and the weapon bays were created with graphite. Then the kit was sealed with matt acrylic varnish (Italeri).
I made a product box and tested it out using this old bold and washer. The picture was good but boring so I decided to have some fun using some Topaz plugins I recently purchased. This is using Lens Effects package and the Prism effect.

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.

So... I quess it worked!
The light was all wrong for this shot. A lot earlier on the day when the sun is behind the building or if it was overcast it would have been better. A little earlier when I first arrived here it would have been better too as the sunlight came straight from the side and lit the pavement too... It wouldn't have replicated the conditions of the original, but it would have looked better. However at the time some event in the building ended, and whole lot of people came out and some of them stayed in front of the house chatting and waiting for their transportation etc.
So... I had to resort to exposure bracketing and HDR / tone mapping to get the dynamic range at least somewhat in control.
One lucky thing happened though... There was another car parked in front of the house. It left while I was setting up the camera. If it hadn't I would have only been partially visible in the picture.
Anyway... There was a reason why I wanted to do this today. It says in the description of the original photo that it was taken 12.06.1975 (european date order dd.mm.yyyy). I had already thought of replicating that photo some day, but I only noticed that date on it today while browsing the pictures. If I checked it out correctly, next time 12.6. is tuesday is year 2029.
I did two tries on this... On the first one someone came out of the door and asked if I was OK. :)
Safety note: I had to cross the street from the camera to my spot. I wouldn't have done this if that street was any busier. Luckily the traffic there is slow. I checked very carefully that there were no cars coming before pressing the shutter release and crossing the street. After hearing the shutter go off I got up and checked again that there are no cars coming as anyone crossing the street should. If you do anything like this, stay safe.
"The '63 Studebaker Champ is a casting replicating a racing version of the classic early '60s light truck manufactured by Studebaker for the North American market. The Hot Wheels casting takes the basic truck and has it lowered and fitted with a tonneau cover. This tonneau cover is made from the same material as the interior piece on on versions with a plastic interior, a person can use their fingernail to lift it and reveal that this piece has the brackets molded to hold the rear wheels in place.
The casting was retooled in 2022; the wing is no longer part of the tonneau cover, instead being part of the body".
Seen here in its brand new 2024 Case J recolour which for me personally is one of its best yet. Front tampo detailing and those gorgeous chrome disc wheels really hit the spot and its fairly subdued body colours are appealing too.

The elegant Vickers VC-10 has been replicated as a model or toy in various scales and sizes. In the middle is the lovely Aero Mini version in 1:239 scale, with a retractable undercarriage. In the 1970s, when it was made, this model was very much state of the art. Even after four and a half decades, it presents beautifully.
Behind that is a 1:200-scale diecast model of G-ARVF (JC Wings); the real thing can be admired at Hermeskeil. I was very fortunate to have been able to find this piece at a reasonable price; usually when they do appear, they are well beyond my budget.
To the right, are two 1:400-scale models: A British United VC-10, Standard, G-ASIX, (Gemini Jets) and Super in demo colors, G-ASGA, (Aeroclassics). Next to it is the InFlight500 version of the same aircraft in B.O.A.C. colors.
To the left is a miniature by Corgi in the elegant British Caledonian scheme. The somewhat crude toy at the bottom is by Cragstan (Hong Kong), with it retractable plastic gear, and an unusual example in fictional Pan Am colors by Mandarin Toys (Singapore).

- notice both signatures are exactly the same....this is an authorized signature on a production print and not an authentic signature.
While both are automated ways to replicate a signature, the primary difference from autopen signatures and printed signatures lies in the physical medium and application process:
Autopen Signatures: These are created by a robotic machine that holds a physical pen and physically "draws" the signature onto paper. This process creates a "wet ink" effect, complete with slight indentations in the paper and the natural sheen of real ink.
Printed Signatures: Also known as facsimile signatures, these are digital images of a signature applied to a document using a printer or copier. The ink is "flat" and appears to be part of the paper's surface rather than sitting on top of it.

Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau (October 18, 1919 – September 28, 2000) was a Canadian politician and lawyer who served as the 15th prime minister of Canada from 1968 to 1979 and again from 1980 to 1984. Between his non-consecutive terms as prime minister, he served as the leader of the Official Opposition from 1979 to 1980.
Trudeau was born and raised in Outremont, Quebec, and studied politics and law. In the 1950s, he rose to prominence as a labour activist in Quebec politics by opposing the conservative Union Nationale government. Trudeau was then an associate professor of law at the Université de Montréal. He was originally part of the social democratic New Democratic Party, but then joined the Liberal Party in 1965, believing that the NDP could not achieve power. That year, he was elected to the House of Commons, and was quickly appointed as prime minister Lester B. Pearson's parliamentary secretary. In 1967, Trudeau was appointed as minister of justice and attorney general, during which time he liberalized divorce and abortion laws and decriminalized homosexuality. Trudeau's outgoing personality and charisma caused a sensation, termed "Trudeaumania", which helped him win the leadership of the Liberal Party in 1968. He then succeeded Pearson and became prime minister of Canada.
From the late 1960s until the mid-1980s, Trudeau dominated the Canadian political scene. After his appointment as prime minister, he won the 1968, 1972, and 1974 federal elections, before narrowly losing in 1979. He won a fourth election victory shortly afterwards, in 1980. Trudeau is the most recent prime minister to win four elections (having won three majority governments and one minority government) and to serve two non-consecutive terms. His tenure of 15 years and 164 days makes him Canada's third-longest-serving prime minister, behind John A. Macdonald and William Lyon Mackenzie King.
During his tenure as prime minister, Trudeau institutionalized official bilingualism and multiculturalism in Canada. Amid the Quebec sovereignty movement, he invoked the War Measures Act during the 1970 October Crisis and successfully led the federalist campaign against the 1980 Quebec sovereignty-association referendum. In economic policy, he introduced the capital gains tax, expanded welfare programs, and oversaw major increases in deficit spending. He also enacted the Anti-Inflation Act in response to the 1970s recession. Moving the Liberal Party towards economic nationalism, Trudeau established Petro-Canada and launched the National Energy Program, both of which generated significant controversy in oil-rich Western Canada and led to a rise in what was called "Western alienation". His government also implemented metrication in Canada, established Via Rail, and later enacted the Access to Information Act and the Canada Health Act. In foreign policy, Trudeau reduced alignment with the United States, maintained cordial relations with the Soviet Union, and developed strong ties with China and Cuban leader Fidel Castro, which put him at odds with other Western capitalist states. He also oversaw Canada's entry into the G7 forum. In 1982, Trudeau patriated the Constitution of Canada and established the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which, with the enactment of the Constitution Act, 1982, achieved full Canadian sovereignty.
Trudeau retired from politics shortly before the 1984 federal election. In his retirement, Trudeau practised law at the Montreal law firm of Heenan Blaikie. He also spoke out against the Meech Lake and Charlottetown accords (which proposed granting Quebec certain concessions), arguing they would strengthen Quebec nationalism. Trudeau died in 2000. He is ranked highly among scholars in rankings of Canadian prime ministers, though he remains a divisive figure in Canadian politics. Critics accused him of arrogance, economic mismanagement, and unduly centralizing Canadian decision-making to the detriment of the culture of Quebec and the economy of the Prairies, while admirers praised what they considered to be the force of his intellect and his political acumen which maintained national unity throughout the Quebec sovereignty movement. Trudeau's eldest son, Justin Trudeau, served as the 23rd prime minister of Canada from 2015 to 2025, becoming the first prime minister of Canada to be the child of a previous prime minister.

... stitching multiple shots with the aim of replicating the shallow depth of field of a much faster lens or the field of view of a wider lens.
What isn't stated in Photojojo's breathless description of using the Brenizer method for getting "impossibly shallow depths of field" is that:
a) a wide aperture helps
b) regular autostitching/panorama software will choke when it's handed impossibly blurry shots.
The above panorama was built by the free Autostitch (Autopano Pro has licensed their engine) using about 50 overlapping shots that had been taken with a Nikon 50mm f1.8 lens at f2.2. The closest and furthest shots were lacking detail or were too blurred for the software to be able to find matching points, hence the blank corners.
If the software is sufficiently advanced then it will let you move and distort the shots to match their neighbours. I wasted some time in Autopano Pro trying to manouevre the corner shots into the gaps. After 20 minutes of rendering, it then crashed on me.
The much more basic Autostitch took only 30 seconds from start to finish.

We, the intricate sacks of self replicating, ever learning and decaying meat, seek to explore and decode the mechanisms of our external reality as it that which feeds us with an evolving sense of self.
We live in order to collect experience from the interactions held upon our surroundings as it is that, alongside the predeterminations of our genetic code in which our brain is mapped, fueling the conventional illusion of free will within character.
We are but the mere interaction between mind and matter as it follows the collage of our past and the narrative of adaptation.
It is in this cycle of information processing itself through the medium of life in which not only life itself evolves but also the concepts surrounding it.

AusNTM - R7 - Hunter.
HOLA MAH CHILDREN!!!
The final four had to replicate one of my fave shoots in NTM franchise, Naked in JEWELZ!!!!!! And lying/crouching/not standing.
I had a few problems with the outfit, which was made by zee amazing Vann (Thanks Vann!) because the skin on the outfit was white... and.... well.... Hunter isn't. I edited the outfit in BS and her sin in PS but she still looks a lil' pale. But I dont think its too noticable.
While Im not too fond of the pose (not what I was going for..) Im rather proud of the hair and her expression (which I spent nearly two hours on... playing around trying to do something different.) But I'll have to see what the judges say. Already seen McKenzie's (Hil) and Venice's (Laurenn), and their pretty god damn fly.... so Im rather nervous.
I always seem to blabber on in these descriptions about absolutely nothing... but I feel bad if I put hardly anything..GAH!!

Taken 18/03/23. Driving back from Cranmore I felt I needed a break and Breamore Station proved a convenient spot to stop at. Inevitably I then took a few snaps, but these will largely replicate photos I took in 2014.
Unfortunately I don't know if this was the up or down platform, but a history of the line through Breamore from the internet:
"The South Western's first major push westwards occurred after collaboration with Charles Castleman, a Wimborne solicitor and the opening of 'Castleman's Snake' from Northam to Dorchester during June and July 1847.
rom Lymington Junction, Brockenhurst, the line swept through Holmsley (known as Christchurch Road until 1888), Ringwood, West Moors, Wimborne and Broadstone before continuing southwestward to Wareham and Dorchester. Meanwhile, another independent line under the title of the Salisbury & Dorset Junction Company was promoted to link Salisbury with Wimborne: opened on 20 December 1866, the 19 miles of single track from Alderbury Junction (between Salisbury and Dean) to West Moors was also worked by the London & South Western Railway and absorbed in 1883. It served stations at Downton, Breamore, Fordingbridge, Daggons Road and Verwood and for much of its length followed the River Avon along the western edge of the New Forest. As with local trains over the adjoining line from Brockenhurst, the usual destination was Bournemouth West.
On summer Saturdays in Southern days both lines served as useful alternatives for some of the many holiday trains run at peak periods. A few through trains from Waterloo ran to Swanage, while the Fordingbridge line offered similar facilities for holidaymakers from South Wales heading for the coast. Traffic on the line was always light and closure had been proposed before the line was eventually axed under Beeching from 4 May 1964, although goods traffic continued to use the line to Ringwood from Broadstone Junction until October 1966, after which it was cut back to West Moors for occasional military requirements. For a brief period the station was known as Breamore.
Breamore Station has remained largely intact since closure despite easy public access to the station site. All the buildings have been boarded up and although somewhat dilapidated have remained free of vandalism. In 2004 a long lease on the station site was offered by the owner, Hampshire County Council with planning consent for office/workshop use. The property is protected in as much as it cannot be demolished and rebuilt or extended and that all materials have to be approved by the planning authority. The new tenants have restored the station building on the northbound platform retaining its canopy."
The futuristic sci-fi styling of recent Honda Civics continues with the very latest generation and I have to say I always do a double take when one passes me in traffic. Naturally it doesn't have the same road presence as say a metallic Burnt Orange MG6 ;-) but it certainly can't be mistaken for anything else on the road. Naturally there is a Type R variant too which looks even more muscular and is the one type if you'll pardon the pun which most toy makers want to replicate. At the bottom end you have the admittedly very decent Hot Wheels and MiniGT at the top. Price wise this Majorette actually costs less than a HW yet roundly beats it hands down in pretty much every department. Suspension, opening tailgate and detailing which goes right down to mesh effect bumper inserts shows Majorette really mean business in offering so much for so less! They have listened to feedback regarding previous wheel designs used and so now this and many other 2018 Premium Majorettes wear much better looking ones.
One of many bought from Home Bargains. Mint and boxed.
