A copy of “AXL II2” by László Moholy-Nagy made with Adobe Photoshop as part of my Replication assignment for my CS4231 Module.
The Painting can easily be broken into separate layered shapes, which made replicating it's structure and layout within Photoshop very simple. I used the shape tools to create new shape objects and the free transform tools to manipulate the objects into the sizes I wanted, then used the colour-picker tool to get all of my shapes as close to the original colours as possible. I still wanted to replicate that canvas texture in the original, so I found an image of some parchment paper and overlayed it on top of all the shapes with low opacity and some noise to help give it a rougher finish.
So I cracked open a set of Dragon Ball Super Goku and Vegeta S.H. Figuarts figures that I bought at retail.
There's nothing particularly special about these figures, other than I finally have the two leads from the same series, and my first Goku in my 40 years of life (yes, I've never owned Goku in any shape or form).
Each of the sets comes with a variety of pieces of (no effects or stands, of course) to replicate a variety of each characters signature poses, with Goku being squarely in SSGSS (Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan) mode, whereas Vegeta comes with an extra head to replicate his SSG (Super Saiyan God) form.
Articulation, naturally, is very good as these are based on the newest Dragonball bodies, though I am not a huge fan of the sleeves on Goku, which are pegged on to the shoulders (its functional, but looks really odd when the arms are raised over his head).
Paint work and build quality are what you expect them to be as well. Overall sharp with minor blemishes, but effectively what you'd see on the screen.
That sort of stuff is business as usual for Tamashi Nations.
What's more interesting is HOW this all happened.
Vegeta is easier to explain. My first Vegeta was the Premium coloured 1.0 figure, which for the longest time was a highly coveted figure as it was the only Vegeta available, and Tamashi Nations had a strict "no reissue" policy.
Clearly, with the premium colour release that was no longer the case. To add insult to injury, soon after this figure was announced a 2.0 Super Saiyan Vegeta as announced, which improved upon the original in every possible way. The rest of it is history, as now I think every possible permutation of every figure is on the way/.
The only 2.0 Vegeta I owned was the Majin Vegeta figure, a fine release in itself, but strangely it was lacking the one thing that I associated with Vegeta - the piece for his cross arm pose.
I eventually gave up focusing on a Super Saiyan Vegeta, and went with the next best thing - the Vegeta from the Super line, which I bought out of sheer COVID boredom.
Unsurprisingly, the Super version of Vegeta is similar to the Z version in terms of build. Hairstyle wise, Vegeta very much resembles his base form for both SSG and SSGSS modes, no doubt to give rise to future hair style changes a la SSJ2 and so on.
Goku on the other hand.... *sigh*.
So if you're one of the few Figuarts enthusiasts that have not become involved in the Dragonball line, Bandai effectively uses the basic Goku for the series as a gateway drug - not exactly hard to understand why, given the the characters popularity and in general, the minor changes between each figure, with the most drastic change usually being the head.
Goku is a gateway drug as he's priced incredibly well for a decently packed release, with the intent of course to start that "Gotta Catch'em All" fever.
I figured for the $56 CAD price tag, I'd sign myself up for one. So I placed a preorder in February 2019.. and I'm only writing about the figure now because I literally just picked up before the July long weekend over on this side of the world.
That July 2020, folks.
Since my preorder and apparently 99% of the world getting theirs, there must have been at least 3 different versions of Goku offered. I actually forgot which version of the character I had on preorder. As this Goku is already SSGSS, he gets his SSJ hairdo, but in blue. There is no SSG head with this release, as the SSG was already released earlier.
I guess it's nice to finally be able to see what all the excitement last spring was all about.
So there you have it.. I finally caught up to 2019.
Trying to get the right combination of "stick" to hold the tissue paper down, on the right subsurface material, with the right glue, so it holds in place while plastic is deposited but can be removed when completed.
That's a mouthful!

I love the RepRap logo!
Printed using ABS at 230C with a 0.4mm nozzle, layer height 0.35mm, fully solid no sparse infill. It took about 5 hours and 40 minutes to print the 39 layers.
For this part we would have paid about 50 euro at a local rapid prototyping company. More than for all the 2.5kg of raw ABS we bought in the RRRF Store. I think the material cost for it are only a few dollars. I'll have to weight it and calculate the exact costs :)

A prototype of a “Phood Replicator.” Not nearly as sophisticate as those seen on Star Trek, but we will see what happens when it is turned on.

This has been my favorite dress for a long time, but due to frequent wear, it's colour had worn out and I know I will be throwing (donate/recycle) it away soon. As a keepsake, I made a Barbie-sized replicate for my daughters' barbie dolls.. It turned out quite neat, isn't it? :) Check out my FB to see the process of making this dress: www.facebook.com/IrisCreation

A young John Lewis and his peers protest Cairo, IL's segregated swimming pool in the summer of 1962. From MARCH: BOOK TWO.
the challenge was to find a picture in someone's photostream and replicate it. my pic of a petunia (i think it's a petunia) and cathlon's are pretty close except her details are way better. maybe it was a bit breezey ~grin~ .......and my color is a tad showier/more flamboyant ~another grin~

Replicating a card I made recently to use one type of snowflake from SSS. I think that teal with red is just gorgeous and I’m sure I’ll make more cards with these colours.
I’ve used the Kate snowflake die from Simon and the sentiment is from their circle holidays set.

Berlin: Several of these historic or replicated wheelbarrows serve as planters on the Kutscherhof (Coachmen's Courtyard) of the former Main Telegraph Office.
Berlin war zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts der wichtigste Telegraphen-Knotenpunkt in Europa. Postbaurat Wilhelm Waltger und Architekt Max Lehmann errichteten zwischen 1910 und 1916 das Haupttelegraphenamt, ein prachtvolles Beispiel einer selbstbewussten Industriebauweise im Stil des Neobarocks. Nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs wurde es technisch hochwertig ausgestattet und beherbergte die modernste Technik, die in den Zwanziger- und Dreißigerjahren des 20. Jahrhunderts verfügbar war. Im Jahr 1916 nahm im Kellergeschoss des Gebäudes die Stadtrohrpostzentrale ihre Dienste auf. Das Gebäude beherbergt heute auf großzügigen modernen Büroflächen eine Anzahl weltweit agierender IT-Unternehmen, zwei moderne Eventflächen und das Lifestyle Hotel "Telegraphenamt".

At the beginning of the 20th century, Berlin was the most important telegraph hub in Europe. Between 1910 and 1916, the postal building supervisor Wilhelm Walter and architect Max Lehmann built the main telegraph office - a magnificent example of self-confident industrial architecture in neo-Baroque style. After the end of World War I, it was equipped to a high technichal standard and housed the most modern technology available in the early decades of the 20th century. Berlin's tube system central office took up operation in the basement of the building in 1916. Today, the building houses a number of international IT companies in spacious and modern office spaces, along with two modern event spaces and the lifestyle hotel "Telegraphenamt".

Years ago, a good friend of ours had some beautiful pictures taken with his then fiancé to celebrate his engagement. I may have taken those photos. And... we may have taken copied poses of those photos while we were in St. Augustine.
