Definitely my biggest project, both in term of parts used and time spent on the design. It represents a geisha from Ghost in the Shell (the 2017 live action movie). Her mask can open in 7 panels to reveal a frightening robotic face.
The tricky part was to make a convincing face while the mask is closed, but thin enough to keep some space behind it for the pearl gold part. I spent a long time working on the hinges, trying to limit the space between the panels when they are closed. Because of those constraints, some proportions are a bit off. I'm still very happy about with how it turned out, as it's quite far from what I'm used to building.
Reference pictures: mask closed, mask open.
And the opening scene of the movie that features this character.

Posted for this week's Macro Monday challenge, the theme was Security. The image is of a digital certificate used by a web site to provide encryption between a browser and the server. I thought it appropriate for this week's challenge **but it is a shot I could have basically screenshotted so I may post something a bit more photographically interesting as well later today** (I didn't get around to another and this seems to have been well received :) yay!).
This was done with a lensbaby composer, no aperture ring which I think makes it f/2.

The SS Luftschiff Yaxchilan, named for a major Maian city in the Eukatan, is one of the world's first true flying aircraft carriers. Developed as an experiment by Lochkopf Aviation in collaboration with the Maian aircraft firm Muizlibixli, the LS-28 was given to the Maian SS by Lochkopf as a gift to the gods and the shaman-priests of Kukulcan who vowed to grant success to the company.
The airship carries 25 fighter-sized aircraft, is filled with hydrogen, armored, and powered by ten gas-electric turbines. Bomber, transport, and other versions are planned for the future.
