My replicated cover art photo was, In the Mountain in the Clouds, by Portugal. The man. I was inspired by the original eccentric album cover. This photo consists of three photos using double exposure. I took a photo of trees and snow, a pink sky, and the moon. I double exposed these using Linear Burn format to create a mountain/sky background within the moon.

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 photo: Matt Christenson

 

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.

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).

The very strange Villaggio Mall, replicating the canals of Venice and piazzas of Lucca - amongst others - in a very Doha-typical artificial-but-fascinating (can't help but look) manner.

---

Villaggio Mall is a shopping mall located in the Aspire Zone in the west end of Doha, the capital city of Qatar. It is located on Al Waab street between the Hyatt Plaza and Sports City and has over 200 stores, including many famous brands in the U.S., U.K., Italian and German markets.[2][3][4]

 

Inside, the interiors are Italianate-themed both as an Italian hill town, but also with a 150-meter long indoor canal with gondolas.[5]

 

The Mall was partially re-opened on September 20, 2012, after meeting strict safety standards following the May fire that resulted in 19 lost lives. Portions of the mall remain closed as a result however, the food court, ice rink, movie theater, Carrefour hypermarket, and many stores are open for business with more opening as they are able to restock their shelves.

Joan of Arc, also known as Jeanne d'Arc, was one of four replicates cast circa 1922 after a 1915 original sculpture by Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington that is sited in New York City's Riverside Park. The 12-foot bronze equestrian statue, a gift of Archer M. Huntington, was presented to the Palace of the Legion of Honor in 1926 and mounted atop G. Albert Lansburgh's 8-foot high, rectangular, multitiered granite base with an upper border of a repeated cross and fleur-de-lys design, and a lower border of acanthus.

 

Lincoln Park, covering about 100 acres of the northwestern corner of the San Francisco Peninsula, was dedicated to President Abraham Lincoln in 1909. The park is the Western Terminus of Lincoln Highway, which was conceived and mapped in 1913 as the first coast-to-coast road across America, traversing 14 states. It stands on land that was a cemetery during the late 1860s. After local enthusiasts laid out a three-hole golf course in 1902, the land was turned over to the parks commission in 1909 and the graves were relocated. The course was expanded to 14 holes by 1914 and to a full 18 by 1917. In 1923, the park was chosen as the site of the California Palace of the Legion of Honor and the San Francisco Holocaust Memorial, designed by George Segal, was dedicated in the park in 1984.

A replication of The Hoover Dam in the "works of man" section at Hartman's Rock Garden.

 

--

(Adapted from the description at RoadsideAmerica.com)

 

In 1932, in the heart of the Great Depression, Centerville native Ben Hartman began what would become a decade-long project: an impossibly large and complex sculpture garden made entirely of small stones, in his backyard.

 

Hartman's Rock Garden began small, as do many instances of Dementia Concretia -- Ben just wanted to build a little stone and concrete fish pond in his yard. He liked the finished product, and decided that he wasn't finished after all. He scavenged stone from a nearby construction site, broke it with his hammer, added bits of mirror and pottery -- and began building little stone houses, cathedrals, and parapets with religious statuary in the side and back yards of his wood-frame home. He kept building for seven years. He had the corner lot, so his work was easy to see.

 

Ben built a replica of Philadelphia's Independence Hall, a White House, a Mount Vernon (Ohioans can't get enough of mini-Mt. Vernons -- we saw another in Lima). A large castle with a drawbridge and moat is composed of 14,000 stones; a "Tree of Life" has over 20,000.

 

Ben stopped building in 1939. We suspect that he ran out of space, materials, maybe energy -- but certainly not ideas. He used something like a quarter of a million stones to create Hartman's Rock Garden.

 

Although Ben died in 1944, his property was maintained by his wife Mary for many years, and even won the Community Beautification Award four times in the 60's. The garden is now owned by Hartman's son, Ben Jr., and did not appear to be any longer upkept or maintained...pieces were falling apart, and weeds grew throughout (though this may just be a season growth).

 

Between the buildings (aside from the overgrowth) are little scenes -- a mix of history, religion, and Depression-era pop culture. Lawn statues of the Holy Family share space with garden gnomes. Small hand-written signs help visitors to distinguish one tableau from the next: Custer's Last Stand, Daniel in the Lion's Den, Noah's Ark, and "Foot path to Pece" (Peace).

 

"The sad part of war" is rendered with little army men, fallen or missing limbs, and accompanied by angels. Meanwhile, a healthier army prepares to storm the castle...

 

Ben built a depiction of the Oregon Trail, a Nativity scene, a cup and saucer. Scenes of boxer Joe Louis and the Dionne Quintuplets -- a media sensation of Canadian multiple births -- suggest what occupied the popular imagination in the 1930s.

 

Our favorite hand-lettered sign:

 

"Behold thy mother and don't forget your Dad."

This small device traps dust in a small sponge before it enters the extruder. In some cases it can also be used to easily lubricate the filament just before it is extruded.

 

The adapter is designed to fit the Replicator (1) and Replicator 2 extruders.

 

Protecting your 3D printer's extruder from foreign particles is an important part of keeping the machine maintenance-free. This adapter makes it easy to keep the filament clean.

 

1 - Download the STL file

2 - 3D print it as is with standard medium or fine settings

3 - Cut two small pieces of sponge and place them into the filter case

4 - Close the case with the lid and two standard 3 mm screws

5 - Unload the filament from your Replicator 1 or 2

6 - Remove the filament guide tube

7 - Insert the loose end of the filament into the adapter.

8 - Make sure that it passes through the sponge and slides smoothly

9 - Insert the adapter into the Replicator's extruder hole

10 - Insert the filament guide tube into the top part of the adapter

11 - Enjoy hours and hours of dust-free 3D print extrusion

 

Check this Youtube video for more information:

 

Every now and then open the adapter and check the sponge for dust. Replace if necessary.

 

In some cases filament can jam or cause uneven 3D prints if the friction in the extruder's filament tube is too high. This adapter can also be used to lubricate the filament just before it enters the extruder.

This is a robot mode only replica of Starscream's look in ROTF and DOTM.

 

I tried to replicate every single detail from the CGI model, which differs greatly from the actual figure. I added tons of parts on his chest, arms and legs, for that messy and sharpy Decepticon look.

 

I used parts from other transformers and from an actual F-22 Raptor model kit. Some decals were applied in the parts not covered by the tattoos.

 

All the wings from the toy were removed and replaced with the model kit wings, for a more streamlined and real look.

 

The original canopy section was removed, since it's not there in the movie version, leaving only the canopy itself (model kit part). The whole chest section was redone using mostly new parts to get the right look (much bulkier). The middle section was resculpted to be permanently open, with a few tiny mechanical parts and wires here and there. A few parts were added on his neck as well, which now sits at a higher position, giving Starscream a taller look.

 

I added several wires on his arms, instead of just paiting the sculpted ones, for a much more realistic look.

 

I also added articulated fingers, and a ball joint on his right hand. Each finger has a tiny spike added, just like the CGI model has.

 

I added the jet engines on his back, as well.

 

His lower legs were heavily modified, with tons of new parts added, to get that overlapping-transforming -panels look.

 

The paint job was done with several coats of different shades of gray and metallic enamels, for that not so shiny but still metallic look (like the actual F-22)

 

Starcream also comes with a removable circular saw blade and the barrel gun with "wings" added.

 

The final touch is on his head. I resculpted his eyes for a more accurate and meaner "look". Finally, each eye has its own LED now, and they're visible even in day light.
