I have trouble getting him to pose since he gets so excited whenever I get the camera out. He doesn't know or care about the game camera.

Any incentive to paint is as good as any other. There is no poor subject. Painting is always strongest when in spite of composition, color, etc., it appears as a fact, or an inevitability, as opposed to a souvenir or arrangement. Painting relates to both art and life. Neither can be made . . . A pair of socks is no less suitable to make a painting with than wood, nails, turpentine, oil, and fabric. --Robert Rauschenberg, 1959
In the early 1950s, Robert Rauschenberg devised a radical new form, blending two- dimensional collage techniques with three-dimensional objects on painted surfaces. Definable neither as sculpture nor painting, these works were dubbed "combines" by the artist to describe their interdisciplinary formal roots. Rauschenberg's combination of found imagery and gestural brushwork places these works between two movements in painting: Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art.
Trophy II (for Teeny and Marcel Duchamp) is one of a series of five combines, all called "trophies," which alluded to the unconventional creative spirit of artists whose work Rauschenberg greatly admired: in this case, Marcel Duchamp and his wife, Teeny. Using found objects, photographs, and paint, the artist considered himself "a collaborator with objects." In this way, he sought to avoid excessive autobiographical readings and instead refers to the dynamics of the urban landscape.

Le Raid 4L Trophy est un raid automobile solidaire destiné aux jeunes de moins de 28 ans et couru exclusivement en Renault 4. Créé par Jean-Jacques Rey en 1997, il est organisé par l'entreprise Desertours en partenariat avec l'École supérieure de commerce de Rennes.
Le Raid 4L Trophy a lieu chaque année, au mois de février. Les participants (environ 2 500 personnes âgés de 18 à 28 ans) disputent cette course d'orientation. Le parcours, d'environ 6 000 km, traverse la France, l’Espagne et le Maroc. Le départ a lieu à Biarritz, puis les équipages traversent librement l'Espagne jusqu'à Algésiras et prennent le ferry pour le Maroc, où les épreuves du raid commencent. Le parcours présente plusieurs étapes dont certaines autour des dunes de Merzouga et dans l'Atlas, pour mener jusqu'à Marrakech. Les participants roulent la journée, en se guidant avec un roadbook et une boussole. Ils se rassemblent le soir dans un bivouac prévu par l'organisation. Les deux derniers jours d'épreuves constituent l'étape « marathon », où les participants établissent leur bivouac en autonomie. Au cours de ce voyage, les participants transportent des fournitures scolaires et sportives, qui sont redistribuées aux enfants du sud marocain à l'arrivée. Chaque équipage est classé en fonction du nombre de kilomètres réalisés pour passer par chaque point de contrôle du parcours, l'objectif étant d'en parcourir le moins possible.
The Raid 4L Trophy is a solidarity automobile raid intended for young people under 28 and raced exclusively in Renault 4. Created by Jean-Jacques Rey in 1997, it is organized by the company Desertours in partnership with the Ecole Supérieure de Commerce of Rennes. The Raid 4L Trophy takes place every year in February. The participants (about 2,500 people aged 18 to 28) compete in this orienteering race. The route, approximately 6,000 km, crosses France, Spain and Morocco. The start takes place in Biarritz, then the crews travel freely through Spain to Algeciras and take the ferry to Morocco, where the trials of the raid begin. The route presents several stages, some of which around the dunes of Merzouga and in the Atlas, to lead to Marrakech. Participants ride the day, guided by a roadbook and a compass. They gather in the evening in a bivouac provided by the organization. The last two days of events constitute the “marathon” stage, where the participants set up their bivouac independently. During this trip, participants carry school and sports supplies, which are redistributed to children in southern Morocco on arrival. Each crew is classified according to the number of kilometers made to pass through each checkpoint on the course, the objective being to cover as few as possible.

Christmas present from my daughters in-laws :)
I gave the real trophy to my hunting lodge back in 2011. I like this one better :)

By all accounts the Maisto Trophy Terror is brand new for 2025 and although it wouldn't be the type of casting I would buy if I had the choice its in my collection thanks to its inclusion in a new nine vehicle set found recently whilst travelling through France.
If you are into such things I imagine this is a believable enough design based on the modified pick-up trucks used to go off-road rallying. Its cheapness is partially disguised by decently applied full detailing and licensed Eibach and Toyo Tires branding.
Mint and boxed.
Manfred von Richthofen decorated his bedroom in his parent's home in East Prussia with trophies of his air victories. When Richthofen died the same thing would happen to souvenirs from his aircraft.
Here are all three trophies that will be given out at BrickCon 2010 for this year's best Small, Medium, and Large Battle Bugs respectively. If you want to win one of them, build a Battle Bug and bring it to this year's BrickCon
I wanted to make three trophies where the ants stay the same size, but the scale they're presented in changes.

One of the unusual Bristol LH coaches, bodied by Marshall of Cambridge, which were, I think, unique to the Royal Blue coaching fleet of the Western National Omnibus Co. It is seen shortly after leaving Marlborough Street Bus & Coach Station, Bristol, on Sunday 15th May 1977.
Not normally an habitué of public houses, I was once or twice prevailed upon to patronise the Trophy Tavern, across the road there. It was one of several pubs grouped around the bus station. Bus drivers preferred the White Horse, a matter of paces from the bus station's exit and usually standing room only, or the Bay Horse, a more commodious establishment a hundred yards further off.
Perhaps the Trophy Tavern was a little too genteel, with its pastel-coloured plush seats and, I seem to remember, nautically themed décor and decorative impedimenta. It occupied the ground floor of Avon House, constructed in great haste as the headquarters of the County of Avon (laughter) and must, therefore, date from about 1973-4. It seemed rather like the bar of a large Rank cinema, and the relief sculpture that formed the exterior of the ground floor was but a foretaste of the period delights within. What a pity I never thought to photograph such things. I hated them then and, incapable of sloughing off the accumulated prejudices of a lifetime, don't really care for them now. But they have acquired Period Charm and it would be nice to think that something remained. At the time they seemed permanent ...certain to endure for the rest of my life at least... but Google Maps street view shows a Beefeater restaurant called the Bristol Fashion. The bas-relief affair has been removed and replaced by a grisly post-modern arcaded frontage.
Although Macclesfield Town FC lost 1-0 to Telford United in the FA Trophy on 13 May 1989, a civic reception was held for the team at Macclesfield Town Hall which was preceded by a tour through the town on an open-top bus. Part of the cavalcade was Bostocks, Congleton 48 (C778MVH), a DAF SB2300 with Duple 340 55 seat bodywork that was new to Smith, Alcester in April 1986. It was photographed at Park Street, Macclesfield on 14 May 1989.
