A long time friend and colleague to Xavier, Sabine Stonebender is a premier creator, artist and builder in Second Life of the popular Zero Point.
Her Zero Point sim is so well known, that every builder, including corporate builders, have gone to her sim to study her immersive art.
She has once again, created a stunning build. And guess, what folks? There's a store there for all of us who are shopaholics!
The Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" was a long-range carrier-based fighter aircraft formerly manufactured by Mitsubishi Aircraft Company, a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1940 to 1945. The A6M was designated as the Mitsubishi Navy Type 0 carrier fighter (零式艦上戦闘機, rei-shiki-kanjō-sentōki), or the Mitsubishi A6M Rei-sen. The A6M was usually referred to by its pilots as the Reisen (零戦, zero fighter), "0" being the last digit of the imperial year 2600 (1940) when it entered service with the Imperial Navy. The official Allied reporting name was "Zeke", although the name "Zero" (from Type 0) was used colloquially by the Allies as well.
The Zero is considered to have been the most capable carrier-based fighter in the world when it was introduced early in World War II, combining excellent maneuverability and very long range. The Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service (IJNAS) also frequently used it as a land-based fighter.
In early combat operations, the Zero gained a reputation as a dogfighter, achieving an outstanding kill ratio of 12 to 1, but by mid-1942 a combination of new tactics and the introduction of better equipment enabled Allied pilots to engage the Zero on generally equal terms. By 1943, the Zero was less effective against newer Allied fighters due to design limitations. It lacked hydraulic boosting for its ailerons and rudder, rendering it extremely difficult to maneuver at high speeds, and it could not be equipped with a more powerful aircraft engine. By 1944, with Allied fighters approaching the A6M levels of maneuverability and consistently exceeding its firepower, armor, and speed, the A6M had largely become outdated as a fighter aircraft. However, as design delays and production difficulties hampered the introduction of newer Japanese aircraft models, the Zero continued to serve in a front-line role until the end of the war in the Pacific. During the final phases, it was also adapted for use in kamikaze operations. Japan produced more Zeros than any other model of combat aircraft during the war.

Appuntamento al Corso - Trapani 25 Ottobre 2008
Checking the fit of a zero-offset seatpost before I drag out my precision reraking jig™ to give it about 40mm of offset (it's a cheap steel mtb/bmx seatpost, so if I ruin it I'll be left with a bent crmo tube that I can chop up and use for reinforcements on a cargobike frame.)

This bottle of soda cost me Zero Dollars to match the name....well I had to pay 10cent Deposit. That means I will get 10 cents back when I return it to the store. Since I am sure everyone on here doesn't know what that means.
A nice Meijer coupon that I got one time when I was shopping.

Zero- march 2010 I have received my first resin head, this was the first time I have seen or touched a BJD, I was fascinated by her, she got the name zero cause she was not whole, less than one, soon after I've received my first full body bjd, and than more and more ...
Zero didn't fit any body I had since than, nor could I figure out what could she fit, she got this temporary body I had from obitsu, it was meant for some art work I planned, but she kept it and with time I got used to this strange beautiful creature.
Had so many plans for her but other dolls came along and stole my attention...now, a bit after her first birthday I finally had the chance to take some pictures, and in a way celebrate my first year of this BJD addiction.
I am waiting for a white MNF body coming soon, and I have a strong hunch that it may fit her, both color and size wise, now I don't know if I can give this body up, seems like she may lose her whole persona....we'll see ^_^
A as the nice gentle rabbit, but without carrot. Another old shot, rescued from the virtual skip.
