The 1924 Targa Florio winner car was a 2 liter, 4 cylinder, super-charged Mercedes, with Chistian Werner at the wheel. This car is an early example of the famous Merceds Compressor series, culminating in the famous SSK and SSKL.
Unlike the usual white livery of the Mercedes racers, this car was actually painted red: Rumour has it this was a camouflage strategy to stop Italian fanatics from throwing rocks at the passing car, because it might be taken for Italian.
In the 1920ies, the race cars were actually driven to the race track on public roads like normal automobiles. For this trip, mudguards and license plates had to be mounted, to comply with traffic regulations. My model is shown in both configurations: as a slick racer, and as a roadworthy automobile.

SR-30 Spectre
Spyrius ground assault vehicle with jet engines that allow it to reach supersonic speeds. It has 4-wheel drive, 4-wheel steering, V6 engine and dual-sided suspension on both the top and bottom. Inspired by the racing games Grip and Rollcage, it can flip over and drive upside down on a tunnel ceiling.
On Tuesday morning I tried to get a drone photo of a stopped train at Bena and discovered a major software glitch made it impossible to get it off the ground. I stopping at Starbucks in Tehachapi during a break in the action to grab a coffee and re-download the DJI drone application onto my phone. I was able to mess around with it between trains and get it back up and running in the afternoon. In this shot a northbound BNSF stack train is running downhill as it passes through Tunnel 9 with the head end crossing under the rear of the train at the Tehachapi Loop at Walong. Since the last time I was in the area four years ago, the siding at Walong has been connected to the siding at Marcel making it possible to meet long trains at the loop.

After finishing up my Classic Iron Man, I can finally update this group. This group looks about as good as I can get it (at least until the Micro Fighter Iron Man comes out!)
(p.s. I know technically Cap shouldn't be here, but to me he will always be one of the "original" Avengers)

A shift in the weather patterns has renewed winter in my part of the world. It is this time of year that we all get really, really sick of winter and desperate for the green of spring. I shot this abstract indoors using available light and the new Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di 1:1 VC Macro lens that just came to market during my review. You can check that review out here: bit.ly/1Mx4y7a or watch it here: bit.ly/1UeliGG

What is this terrible image and why am I sharing it?
Well first the technical of what it is. This is an unidentified Canadian Pacific local or switch engine running light eastbound on CP’s ex ICE Sheldon Sub at about MP 116.7. This is originally the Milwaukee Road’s Rapid City mainline that became property of the Soo Line in 1986 (a CP subsidiary) before being sold to the I&M Rail link in 1997. Five years later IMRL sold their properties to the Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern which created the ICE. Only six years after that, in 2008, the CP reacquired the property it had divested just over a decade prior.
This light engine has just crossrd the diamond of Union Pacific’s Mason City Sub mainline (the north south Minneapolis to Kansas City ‘Spine Line’) at an interlocking known as Bear Trap Junction. The locomotive is SOO 4598, an EMD GP39-2 blt. Oct. 1978 as Kennecott Copper 793, a high cabbed ‘pit motor’ and later given a standard cab when sold to the Soo in 1989 and rebuilt.
While all that is interesting enough, this is still just a terrible photo and none of those details make it so remarkable to share. So why am I posting this?
Because as of this writing this may be one of only five un-repainted Soo units still in service on the CP system, and this is the ONLY one I’ve ever photographed.
Just a few short years ago they were ubiquitous, but CP has gone on a purge of older power, and those which they have kept have been given CP’s modern corporate image red. Why I never shot more SOO units is a function of proximity and availability and just plain bad luck. But I do remember this.
Early in my railroad career with NS I was stationed in Louisville for training. Back then CP still exercised their legacy Milwaukee Road trackage rights via CSXT and came into down daily on the old Monon, the line with active semaphores and lengthy street running just across the river in New Albany, IN. One day I distinctly remember seeing two of the five SOO SD60M wide cabs still in original candy apple red SOO paint. But back then I was a young railroader and still in the ‘closet’ about being a railfan, so though I had my camera with me I didn’t dare go shoot them. Not only that, I don’t have a single shot of the street running or the blades or even so much as one CSXT train on what was then a busy line with 10 or more trains a day. And now all of it is gone. The SD60Ms are still on the roster but all repainted and the Hoosier Sub itself is now abandoned with the semaphores all removed….
Shoot it NOW, shoot ALL of it….it will change or even disappear outright before you know it and then all you will be left with is poor second chances like this…or even worse, nothing but fading memories….
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Technically i did a poor job here, but the location is great and the milky way is lined up perfectly. We will also visit this spot during my photo tours.
Here's my representation of a female BIONICLE character and man was it ever hard. I literally had to forget everything I thought I knew about building torsos and legs and went the unconventional route of building with almost all angle connectors. I started by building conventional squares out of technic and realized I was working against myself. Just flip it 45 degrees and it becomes a lot easier and far more accurate. Guys, hope you enjoy, it was a fun challenge ;)
Kanohi Tallus - the Mask of Walking
The wearer of this mask is granted the ability to walk on any surface regardless of density and orientation. The more it defies physics, the more the user must concentrate to keep the power active.
This mask was a project I actually planned on doing a couple years ago, initially inspired by the mask maker contest, which I didn't find time to take part in. Back then I bought the Technic 24-hour race car for parts for the build, but the threshold to start such a project proved too high. Only a bit over a month ago did I actually start making the mask, and ironically it took only 7 hours over two sessions. I think it helped that I had been thinking of the design and color scheme for a couple of years.
The color scheme was initially meant to be black at the bottom, green in the middle and white at the top, but due to part limitations and the color of the eyes that changed to primarily green and black. I mainly used parts from the 24-hour race car and air race jet technic sets, with a couple extras from my bin. The blue was not initially meant to be included, but when I was running out of green to define the eyes, the blue turned out to give a great accent, so I went along with it.
I wore the mask at Pii Poo 2018 lego event last month and a lot of jaws dropped when the kids saw it. It was kinda priceless.

Technicals played an important role in the 1990s Somali Civil War and the War in Somalia (2006–2009). After the fall of the Siad Barre regime and the collapse of the Somali National Army (SNA), it was rare for any Somali force to field heavy armored fighting vehicles. However, technicals were very common. -Wikipedia

My fake red next to the real BT06 black. Black has different hair- not saran. It's more springy and stick straight.
Finally finished this roughly 1:10 scale project I've started long ago - it took me a while to come up with the shapes as I wanted them to be, but the work is now over. Some elements and their sizes still don't really match the original vehicle, but let's call this a necessary sacrifice :D
Shoutout to VerSen for amazing photos!

Little town, everyone’s in lockdown
All alone, they remain at home.
Little town full of little people waking up to say…
Stay home
I’ve yet to see a reckless fool quite like her,
Without a mask or gloves she goes.
In the Grand Princess she’s been,
And she thinks no one had seen.
She’s gonna get us all infected,
That is Belle!
And there she goes with runny nose and fever,
She never covered when she sneezed.
She forgets to wash her hands,
Though she claims to comprehend the dangers of Corona,
That is Belle.
No, the world isn’t ending.
This is just another flu,
True, now the death rate’s higher.
But we can’t control when we will die,
So let it be.
Right from the moment when I met her, saw her,
I said she's gorgeous and I fell.
Here in town there is only she, who's beautiful as me,
So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle

My friends and I really enjoy trials and riding the trails however makes them most difficult. In this example, my friend Josh was riding up a drop off. This one is a ton of fun, once you figure out the trick!

Awhagaro is an ancient legendary warrior who has been protecting his homeland for centuries. He wields the elements of lightning, air and ice.
Awhagaro only appears when the island is in great danger and no one has ever seen him in peaceful time, so it’s still unknown if he actually exists or is just a legend made up by the island’s inhabitants to intimidate the ones who wish to invade the island. His origins are unknown as well, but some say that Awhagaro is a kaita comprised of a Toa of lightning, a Toa of air and a Toa of ice who somehow got stuck in the combined form, which explains his ability to wield three elements at once and his extraordinarily long lifespan.
