A submission to our #JWSTArt social media campaign by Freddy Wordingham. It is a rendering that has an interesting backstory.
Says Freddy, "I work in Tim Harrie’s research group at the University of Exeter developing simulations which look at how light behaves as it scatters through different systems.
Specifically we look at how we can improve cancer treatment by using these simulations to achieve a better understanding of how light travels through the body.
For example I look at how to better treat non-melanoma skin cancer using photodynamic therapy - a clinical treatment (avoids surgery) that uses light to activate a pre-administered drug.
Laura Moran uses the code to investigate how we can detect breast cancer using Raman spectroscopy, another phenomena of light, reduces the number of needle biopsies performed.
We’ve done this by adapting Monte Carlo radiative transfer (MCRT) code designs that were originally developed to model astrophysical phenomena to instead handle biological systems.
This may sound odd at first, but the principles of photon scattering remain the same - they just scatter much more frequently which is why you can see through a galaxy thousands of light years thick, but not your hand.
The other major difference is that materials change sharply so reflections and refractions are more significant. So the major addition to the astrophysical MCRT model was to add an explicit way of handling surface geometry. With that we can see how light moves from a light source and through it’s
Finally, we can reverse this idea to create a picture. By positioning a camera in the world we can calculate the colour each pixel should be by shooting a sampling-photon backwards out of the camera and observing what it collides with in the world - and how likely it would be that there would be any light to be observed there in the first place.
I greatly look forward to seeing what new extents of the universe JWST will be able to explore, and as NASA so nicely have a public model to download and use, why not run some write some code to view it? I just like making fun things with code :’) Rendering engine: crates.io/crates/antler "

A submission to our #JWSTArt social media campaign by Jamie L. Molaro.
Molaro says: "The reason I made this mirror is because I love hexagons. I think they are a superior shape. I mean, really, I like all shapes that tessellate. But hexagons are my favorite, and hexagons that can also do science are pretty neat."

This project was/is a submission to the “Hover Vehicle” Group Build in early 2020 at phoxim.de. a German science fiction modelling forum. It was a good opportunity and motivation to tackle a Star Wars 1:12 Speeder Bike & Biker Scout combo from Bandai, which I had recently acquired at a reasonable price directly from Japan (since these kits are, due to licensing, limited to the domestic market). In the meantime the price tags for this set have reached absurd heights: while I got it for USD 45, seller frequently demand USD 75 and more these days! Sick.
However, when I bought the set I was already certain that I would not build it OOB, according to Ep. VI (Endor) status. I had the idea of a desert camouflage, esp. for the Biker Scout.
When I started building for the GB, this idea still lingered. As a kind of preface: both models, the Scout and the Bike, are actually snap-fit kits. The parts are molded in appropriate colors and in different materials (even on a single sprue!), so that no painting is required. If you stick the parts together, you already get a nice and presentable set. Due to the zillion of small parts, however, I would not recommend the kit(s) for beginners.
The fit of both kits in the set is excellent, and there are only a few traps during building. However, both kits have potential for a lot more, and esp. with some paint they really “win”.
Work started with the Speeder Bike. I originally envisioned some extras like dust filters or a desert camouflage. But the more I worked on the hardware, the more I became convinced to stay close to the original design. After all, the 74-Z Speeder Bike would be a very common and “cheap” Imperial vehicle, so it would be mass-produced and standardized. There’s actually only little body mass to conceal, and with the original reddish-brown bodywork, I decided to stick with that, since it would match a desert setting. I also found that extra hardware would be difficult to add without making it look “intentional”. The bike is so beefy and spindly – anything added to it would look superficial. Therefore it remained basically OOB.
The only changes I made is that I opened the air intakes in the hull’s flanks (OOB, they end in flat plates that are well visible and not very pretty), and I did some PSR around the parts that come with the intakes, since they leave, despite the kit’s overall good fit, visible and exaggerated seams.
For a more life-like look, I gave the Bike some laser hit marks and dents on the hull – created/sculpted with a heated screwdriver and left pretty “raw”.
Another mod concerns the cargo behind the seat: OOB, the kit comes with a plastic tarpaulin. It does not look bad, but I found it a bit boring – also, because I wanted to make the Scout more interesting and give him a bigger weapon. So I scratched a different equipment package from 1:100 VF-1 (Macross) missiles and small circuit elements (from the DIY store), which are held in place by a flexible net - actually a piece of nylon pantyhose, fixed to additional attachment points.
The whole kit was re-painted with Revell acrylics, since I did not find the plastic’s color convincing. Th red-brown is IMHO too pale, and the engine parts’ grey too light, so that I used more saturated colors. The whole kit was also dry-painted with lighter basic shades, received a black ink washing and an overall matt acrylic varnish coat and was finally treated with mineral pigments.
Next came the Biker Scout. Here, a camouflage was easier to realize and also more plausible, since camouflaged Imperial Troopers actually exist. It took some time to figure out a concept for the uniform, though. I settled upon a three-tone desert scheme (in beige, a reddish clay tone and red brown, similar to the Speeder Bike’s hull) for the suit’s hard elements, and the soft suit underneath, which is originally black/dark grey, became dark brown, for good contrast. Some details like bags or the gaiters became khaki drill.
Some details on the figure were added or modified. For instance, I added two dust filters and antennae to the helmet, and I gave the figure a kind of “skirt” (also made from nylon stockings), inspired by the Snowtroopers from Ep. V on Hoth. Not much, but esp. the skirt makes the Scout look more beefy than the original.
Just like the Speeder Bike, the figure was dry-painted, received a black ink washing and an overall matt acrylic varnish coat and was finally treated with mineral pigments.
Just when I was about to finish the Scout, I eventually decided to add a display base for both models. This was not an easy decision, since a base will have to be stored somewhere when everything has been finished. Originally, I just wanted to build a small neutral, black base that would hold the Bike in hover with the Scout on top, riding it.
However, I eventually had the idea to make the Scout a veteran sniper, being on a single clandestine mission and watching out for a target in a desert setting. This scenic concept led to the base/diorama, which is pretty simple, though, and extra equipment for the Scout: a heavy rifle (taken from a Bandai 1:60 Brocken Labor and slightly modified) and scratched binoculars, which the figure can both hold well and in a natural posture.
At its core, the base is a 20x6” (50x15cm) piece of MDF wood, 1” (2.5 cm) thick, which I had found in the stash. It was just big enough to allow both models to be presented separately, but still small enough to be stored in one of my cabinets later…
The Bike was to be positioned at the right side, the Scout to the left, standing separately, as if watching out. In order to give the base some more structure, I added a piece of rock to the left, since the Scout would not demand much depth. In order to save time and effort, I used a (massive!) resin rock, actually a decoration piece for terrariums!
The base’s surface was created in old-school fashion. At first, I added a border with balsa wood around the MDF board, defining the landscape’s outline. Then the resin rock was positioned, as well as the two models.
The landscape itself was created with a plaster/tile grout mix, the surface was created with very fine quartz sand that was sprinkled onto the fresh/wet plaster. I also added some footprints, as if the Scout had just got off of his Bike. A thorough soaking with a mix of water and white glue fixed everything in place, making the surface stable to touch. Once dry, the landscape was painted with sand brown from the rattle can, and a second layer of lighter beige was later added, too. The diorama’s balsa flanks were painted black, and the whole thing sealed with acrylic matt varnish, also from a rattle can.
On purpose, no vegetation was added. A clear pylon that holds the Bike in place and in a virtual hover was added under the vehicle’s center of gravity, scratched from a piece of clear sprue. OOB, the kit comes with a similar piece, but it turned out to be too short for the use on my diorama.
As a final finish treatment, the whole landscape was dusted generously with the same mineral pigments as the models, and I was lucky to have pigments in store that had almost the same beige color as the final surface paint finish – creating a very consistent look.
Another small, final detail is a scratched critter that hides in one of the rock’s crevices…
A lot of work, the whole building process lasted several weeks, even with creative breaks in which I built other, normal small projects. But I think the extra effort with the desert display base were worthwhile, since the scenic diorama makes everything look more plausible and life-like.
i saw Morrissey in concert for the second time in my life this past Saturday.
And while I didn't know a majority of the newer songs, the sound was so superb and
the lyrics understandable that it was an enjoyable experience to hear the unfamiliar music. the crowd was a mishmash of young and old souls, all devout in their adoration.
you see, you can't be a casual Smiths or Morrissey fan. it's just not possible, and
for some of us, seeing Morrissey live is as close to a Smiths reunion as we'll ever get.
Moz puts on a hell of a show. He still has an amazing voice that carries guile, charm, wit,
disgust, chagrin, apathy, lonliness, and hope.
all was chugging along as expected until the second to last song. the last song on the Smiths album Louder Than Bombs...i had googled the setlist on the drive to the venue, so i knew it was coming and mentally steeled myself with the resolve not lose it. to stand steadfast and strong, holding off memories and the details that remain carved into the mostly uninhabitable portions of my brain.
you know those areas, those memories, you have them too. you can call them up on a whim, but you consciously choose not to - or if you do, you coat them in such a thick shellac of god awful humor as to make them bearable.
Asleep is one of those songs, that once the trauma passes you can easily make fun of. it's wide open to ridicule (is as any Smiths song about doom and gloom) once the pain subsides. but when you're in pain, deep in unfathomable, excruciating, incomprehensible pain - it says everything in such simple, heartbreaking simplicity.
and that's the beauty of it. it's at once ridiculous, self indulgent, self pitying, yet desperate,
clinging, chilling, morose and morbid. it's the suicide note that those of us that are living would write should we ever contemplate the idea of ending our lives while clinging to a thread of hope that someone somewhere would take the time to tell us that we matter in the grand scheme of things.
Hearing it live was gut wrenching. I was almost doubled over, hugging my belly, and half wanting to scream "shut up, already", and half wanting to sing along.
i won't go into any more detail. those of you who know the smiths and Moz will understand
what i mean and what they mean and continue to mean to old and new generations of kids.
i will leave you with this.
if ever, ever, ever, ever you know of anyone who is depressed, suicidal, or noticably just not themselves any more -
if ever you're stuck not knowing how to help, what to do,
or the right words to say. you can always start with something as simple
as:
"you matter."
you just might save a life.

Use, use me,
make something pretty of me.
Excuse this naked mess,
I refuse to own myself at this time.
You kiss like a soldier,
you move like a snake,
in your marble body
there´s nothing I can break.
