Union case - image #4 with mat and glass removed. Captioned on the reverse "Wife of Horace Poinier. Mayor of Newark, NJ. Taken in New York, 1854"
Records on ancestry.com suggest either Sarah Pierson Myers or "Annie M' but provide no further details about either. Except that both are listed as having children called William and John Woods.
Small amounts of delicate hand colouring. The mat on this image is particularly thick brass and stamped as being manufactured by Scovill Mfg Co.
One of four sixth-plate ambrotype images contained in an exceptional union case from around the late 1850s. One image is named as the wife of the Mayor Of Newark and dated 1854.

Letter on reverse ( next image) authored in Mülhausen on 24.4.1916 and addressed to a Musketier Wilhelm Dreyer, Park Kompanie, Per 19 Reserve Division. Postage cancelled 24.4.1916 at Mülhausen.
A familiar commercial postcard depicting the body of an aviator amid the wreckage of his aircraft, but one that is rarely accurately described. Thanks to the boffins at The Aerodrome Forum we have the story:
18th March 1916 in Habsheim, Alsace. The remains of a French Farman MF 11 Shorthorn from MF 29 Squadron and it's crew of Corporal Henry Rins (pilot) and Sgt Charles Dubar (gunner / bomber). It is reported that the French aircraft deliberately rammed his opponent flying a Fokker E in the vicinity of Mulhouse. The mid-air collision resulted in both aircraft plummeting to the ground, killing both French airmen and the German pilot Flg Ludwig Fischer.

When I were to fill the frame of 24x36mm image with 3mm of ruler, the magnification is 36 divided by 3 which equals a 12x magnification.
Here is what I used to provide enough extension to fill the frame of my Fuji X-Pro1 with a 3mm subject:
1. A Nikon F to Fuji X adapter between the Fuji X-Pro1 body and the Nikon PB-4 bellows.
2. A Nikon BR2 reverse lens adapter between the bellows and the reversed 28mm f/3.5 Nikon lens.
If I wanted to replace my 28mm Nikon lens with my 23mm Fuji X lens, all I would need is an adapter to connect the 62mm filter thread of the Fuji lens to the 52mm filter thread of the BR2 reverse adapter. However, why bother because all shots would be at f/1.4 due to no way to change the electronically controlled f-stop.
Here's a shameless copy of Christo's Black Reverse Flash figure. The head is printed on light flesh instead of light bley and there's no side of leg print but for 60p it's not too bad.... until I crack and order the real thing from Christo at some point.
Hasn’t been tested yet to see if it works.

Nothing you see here is real, even though the conversion or the presented background story might be based historical facts. BEWARE!
Some background:
The "Entwicklung" tank series (= "development"), more commonly known as the E-Series, was a late-World War II attempt by Germany to produce a standardized series of tank designs. There were to be six standard designs in different weight classes, from which several specialized variants were to be developed. This intended to reverse the trend of extremely complex tank designs that had resulted in poor production rates and mechanical unreliability.
The E-series designs were simpler, cheaper to produce and more efficient than their predecessors; however, their design offered only modest improvements in armor and firepower over the designs they were intended to replace, such as the Jagdpanzer 38(t), Panther Ausf.G or Tiger II. However, the resulting high degree of standardization of German armored vehicles would also have made logistics and maintenance easier. Indeed, nearly all of the E-series vehicles — up through and including the E-75 — were intended to use what were essentially the Tiger II's eighty centimeter diameter, steel-rimmed road wheels for their suspension, meant to overlap each other (as on the later production Tiger I-E and Panther designs that also used them), even though in a much simplified fashion.
Compared with the earlier designs, the amount of drilling and machining involved in producing the Standardpanzer designs was reduced drastically, which would have made them quicker, easier and cheaper to produce, as would the proposed conical spring system, replacing their predecessors' torsion bar system which required a special steel alloy.
Focus of initial chassis and combat vehicle development was the E-50/75 Standardpanzer, designed by Adler, both being mostly identical and only differing in armor thickness, overall weight and running gear design to cope with the different weights.
There were also lighter chassis variants, though, including the light E-5 and E-10 for armored, tracked reconnaissance vehicles and the E-25. The E-25 designs, in the 25-50 tonnes weight class, were to be the replacements of all Panzer III and Panzer IV based designs, with Alkett, Argus and Adler, with involvement of Porsche. This family would include medium reconnaissance vehicles, medium Jagdpanzer and heavy Waffenträger, using five Tiger II style road wheels per side, combined with "slack-track" design. Track propulsion was switched to a rear drive sprocket, as a consequence of mating the engine and the gearbox into a tail-mounted, single and very compact power pack that made the voluminous and heavy power train through the hull obsolete. This allowed the gun mount to be directly attached to the hull floor, which lowered the overall silhouette, and the gained space offered more room for the crew’s operations as well as for ammunition storage.
The medium tank hunter received high priority and the project was called Jagdpanzer E-25/88 and ran under the inventory ordnance number "SdKfz. 198"; . It was to replace various Panzer IV tank hunters and the light "Hetzer" from 1945 onwards, which all either suffered from insufficient firepower, lack of mobility, or armor. Another tank the E-25/88 would replace was the excellent but complex and expensive Jagdpanther with its 8.8 cm Pak 43/3 or 43/4 L/71 cannon.
The Jagdpanzer E-25/88 was to eradicate all problems of the Panzer IV tank hunter family and combine the benefits from all former types, including the powerful 8.8cm PaK, which could take down any Allied tank around late 1944 at considerably distances. Even though the E-25 tank hunter was initially to be outfitted with the proven 7.5 cm/L70 gun from the Jagdpanzer IV and the Panther battle tank, it was surmised that this armament would not be enough for the enemy's next generation tanks.
Beyond its heavy armament, the new tank hunter was to offer good protection through armor and hull shape alike, as well as high mobility, while keeping overall weight at around 30 tons (the Jagdpanzer IV weighed roundabout 25 tons, while the much bigger Jagdpanther weighed 45 tons) and overall size smaller than the Jagdpanther.
Heavier tank hunters than the E-25/88, based of the new E-50 and E-75 chassis were under development in parallel, but they were all to carry heavier guns, including the 12.8 cm PaK and newly developed 10.5 cm and 13 cm cannons. An E-100 SPG on the drawing board (called "Krokodil") was to carry a 15 cm or even a 17.5 cm anti tank gun.
In late 1944, with the Allied invasion in the West and rising pressure from the East, anti tank and assault SPGs were direly needed and the rejuvenation of the German tank force was sped up in a hurry. As a consequence the Jagdpanzer E-25/88 was prematurely ushered into production before the medium E-25 chassis development had been fully completed.
As a stopgap solution, initial production tanks were outfitted with a Henschel running gear that dated back to the canceled VK20 and VK30 tank program, and these vehicles were later re-designated SdKfz. 198/1 (while the vehicles with the new/standardized running gear became the SdKfz. 198/2). However, its overlapped and interleaved roadwheel-based suspension system (called “Schachtellaufwerk”) was a considerable improvement against the Panzer IV design, even though it was more complex than the final E-25 system. Around 80 vehicles were produced with the Henschel suspension until production was switched to the simplified Alkett suspension based on the unified wheels of the bigger Einheitspanzer types.
The upper hull remained basically the same throughout production, though, and was based on proven principles. To accommodate the heavy-calibre gun, much as on previous unturreted tank destroyers, the glacis plate and sloped hull sides of the Jagdpanzer E-25/88 were extended up into an integral, turretless fixed casemate as part of the main hull itself, providing a relatively roomy interior. The Jagdpanzer E-25/88 had side armour of up to 60 mm, frontal and gun mantlet armour was 80mm. The E-25's engine was a Maybach HL 101 with 550 PS (539 hp, 341 kW), another recognizable improvement in comparison with its frequently underpowered predecessors. Maximum speed was up to 52 km/h (32 mph) on level ground, and the interleafed running gear allowed a smooth ride and high speed even in rough terrain - even though the complex design meant that the wheels could clog up easily with heavy mud or snow.
The gun was mounted in a central "Saukopf" mantlet, similar to the Jagdpanzer IV, and had a limited traverse of 11° to each side, with an elevation of −8° to +15°. 50 rounds for the main gun could be stowed. A single 7.92 mm MG-34 machine gun for frontal defence and against soft ground targets was carried in a ball mount on the right side of the front glacis plate, operated by the wireless operator. Another MG-34 was mounted in a remotely controlled turret on top of the hull, operated by the commander who sat under a cupola with seven periscopes for a good field of view. This machine gun was, in later production tanks, to be replaced by a 30mm MK 108 (actually a compact, belt-fed aircraft machine gun), but this was never carried out since MK 103 production was completely allocated to the Luftwaffe. The driver sat on the left. The gunner had a visual rangefinder and a periscope telescopic sight. The periscope - linked to the gun mount - was under an armored housing on the roof.
In service the vehicle was, due to its crouched silhouette, unofficially called "Dachs" (Badger), a name that was quickly adopted in official circles, too. The first vehicles reached Western front line units along the Rhine in March 1945. They proved to be very successful and popular with its crews, because the tank was agile, easy to handle and less cramped than most of its predecessors. Total production reached 250 vehicles until the end of hostilities, and many of the E-25/88s design features were later incorporated into the post WWII “Jagdpanzer Kanone” for the German Bundeswehr.

The kit and its assembly:
It does not look spectacular, but this compact tank hunter is a major kitbashing, inspired by - but not necessarily an exact model of - the real but unrealized German E-25 Jagdpanzer project.
Things started with a leftover chassis from a Trumpeter "Sturer Emil" SPG with an early interleaf suspension design and a relatively long hull. I wanted to save it and incorporate it into a Heer '46 design, and soon the idea of a Jagdpanzer IV successor was born. Selling it as an E-25 design and incorporating a bigger gun was a logical step.
The build was very pragmatic. The lower hull with the wheel attachments was taken OOB, but it was shortened by 5mm. This was achieved by simply taking away a plug behind the last road wheel and in front of the sprocket wheel, which was moved from the front to the rear end.
While this sounds simple, the attachment points’ different diameters and the need for a sturdy construction (due to the kit’s vinyl tracks) posed quite a challenge. In the wake of this modification, the track’s support wheels were deleted, too, for the E-25’s simplified “slack track” layout. The tracks were shortened accordingly, and mounted/fixed with super glue (as one of the final steps after painting).
The upper hull comes basically from an Armorfast Jagdpanther, after several trials with a Jagdpanzer IV, a Brummbär and even a potentially scratched casemate. The Jagdpanther hull was reduced in height, though, and also slightly shortened, so that the new tank would be more compact than a Jagdpanther and also differ in the silhouette.
In order to change the look even more, the “Saukopf” gun mantlet from a Jagdpanzer IV/70 was implanted (even though with an 8,8cm barrel), as well as the vehicle’s protective shields for the motor deck. Overall hull width was adapted to the Sturer Emil tracks through mudguards.
The machine gun turret was scratched, and some other details changed or added, including some periscopes, a Panzer IV commander cupola and some equipment pieces on the mudguards.
Painting and markings:
This time, I wanted a disruptive scheme for this tank hunter, and adopted a rather simple livery for the E-25/88: a uniform RAL 6003 Olivgrün for the upper hull (appied with a rattle can, plus a hush with RAL 6011 on the upper surfaces), with a dense, irregular pattern of sand/yellow blotches - lighter than the authentic RAL 7028 Dunkelgelb, though (I have used Humbrol 103, Cream).
Wheels and the lower hull flanks (behind the running gear) were painted in RAL 7028 Dunkelgelb (RAL 8000, which comes pretty close, IMHO).
Similar schemes were, for instance, applied to some Ferdinand tank Hunters, operated in Italy and the Eastern Front, but also on Jagdpanthers at the Western front (e. g. in Belgium). The result reminds a bit of a Giraffe, or of the unique British "net" scheme applied to tanks on Malta.
On top of the basic paintwork, a dark brown washing was added and the edges further emphasized through dry-brushing with light grey and pale sand tones, plus some acrylic silver.
Once the wheels and tracks were fitted into place and the few decals applied, a coat of matt acrylic varnish was added. Finally, dust and dry mud were simulated with mixed pigments, applied with a soft brush onto wet stains of varnish.
This E-25 tank hunter model looks pretty conclusive, and at first glance it looks very German, because it incorporates many typical design features. But the more you look the more “unique” it looks, e. g. through the low Schachtellaufwerk, the lowered Jagdpanther upper hull and its combination with the Saukopf gun mantlet from the Jagdpanzer IV. It looks very purposeful, and the paint scheme appears to be very effective, too, blurring the outlines and details well.

WonderCon 2011 certainly had its sights...Anyone who still believed comic fans were only after big breasts were left in no doubt comics, at least in San Francisco, have a much broader audience!
CP 470 rolls south on the UP's Milwaukee Subdivision at the Howard Avenue curve amid a minor snow squall. If only that DM&E SD40-2 was the leader instead of the wedgie.
NS SD70M 2631 shoves a single EMDX tank car east through LaGrange, IL, bound for the EMD LaGrange plant. I stumbled upon this weird move just north of here and beat it here.
On Sunday, the South Devon Railway celebrated their 40th anniversary of re-opening after being closed by British Rail. If I had to choose my all time favourite location for steam shots, then this spot just up from Riverford Bridge on the river Dart would probably be it. On a day with warm sunshine and little wind to disturb the reflections in the river, it is surely very hard to beat.
It's also worth mentioning that the train is going from right to left as we look at the shot (note the direction of the steam). This is because the driver is sat in the end carriage with controls that link back to the engine allowing him to operate it remotely. The poor old fireman is left on his own in the cab to shovel coal by himself.
On our way back from our day out to Lydney we popped into Taurus Crafts, an arts and crafts visitor centre. I got chatting to the very nice man who runs "The Little Bazaar", an antiques and collectables shop, and he kindly gave me these two old French coins.
The coin to the left is a cupronickel French pre-Second World War 25 centime coin from 1924, the coin to the right is an aluminium French Second World War one franc coin from 1943.
During the Nazi occupation of France (1940-44), the franc was a satellite currency of the German Reichsmark. The exchange rate was 20 francs = 1 RM. The coins were changed, with the words 'Travaille ,Famille, Patrie' (Work, Family, Fatherland) replacing the Republican triad 'Liberté, Egalité, Fraternitié' (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity) and the emblem of the Vichy regime added.
This is a little piece of modern history that I was totally unaware of!
2 Nights later and the 2 units have been changed around so all driving cabs get tested.377 606 is now "country end" of 377 605 and again its Platform 6 at Victoria waiting to depart with 5Q31 0353 London Victoria to Ashford. All being well 377 605 will be handed over next Tuesday and enter revenue earning service and 377 606 will be teamed up with 377 607 . I even managed to work out how to display "Test Train" on the Front end cab, now you never got Test Train displayed on a VEP/CEP! Note the new feature on these units a camera with bright light on the Buffer Cowling nicknamed a "splat cam"
