I’m a metal fabricator by vocation with occasional sculpture sales too.

I studied metal sculpture at University of Oregon with instruction by Paul Buckner, Laura Alpert, Frank Okada & others.

My sub-studies included bronze-casting, figurative studies, drawing, psychology & philosophy.

Good morning.

A great day to protest.

I modelled the impulse reactors (in orange) on my fan-made starship after the spherical units depicted on the TNG MSD.

I like the idea they’re modular for easier replacement. I envision removable, exterior hull plating for removing or swapping the unit.

I really enjoyed this episode.
It has a cinematic quality I feel. Great writing and production.

Whoa!

I’ve never seen a Snork in the Trek-verse.

My thoughts are a potential, yet unrealized crew member

or

they toyed with the idea of depicting a scene with V’ger being found by aliens?

Fascism 101

Corrupt Govt turns The People against one another to distract focus from the failures of the administration to provide for The People, establish Justice, ensure Domestic Tranquility, promote the General Welfare, etc.

No Kings & no taxation without representation birthed this nation.

This guy is either lying, propogandizing, out-of-touch or all three.

Unlike Dear Leader, I buy groceries. Prices are high on almost everything (‘cept bourbon?).

I’d like to see a savvy reporter quiz El Presidente & admin on the current average costs of gas, coffee, etc. Would prove informative!

Beautiful image.
Hope the chips -n- gravy stand has returned!

Last time I attended Hull Fair was 1999 I think. Much of my family still resides in and around Hull. My mum was born there.

Some snapshots from about 25 years ago:

And they say technology makes our lives “easier” lol!

Glad you got to the root of the problem.

I could see him in that role. He’s got the acting chops to do it.

As others have pointed out he’s already portraying Bill “Goliath” Foster.

Chris Evans plays multiple MCU characters as variants however so…

Ha ha. Thanks Mr. Scalise for making it crystal clear where you stand on the spectrum of respecting & protecting Free Speech, The First Amendment & The Constitution.

All that’s missing from this picture is Elise Stefanik stood nodding her head.

This is the real Hate America & Constitution bunch.

I had subscriptions to Transformers, G.I. Joe and Spiderman as a kid.

I remember this cover art because it was unlike any other (except maybe for issue #1).

Shockwave is a favourite. Voiced by Jon Bailey sounding like David Warner.

It’s October and harvest time.

Over the rainy weekend I worked a bit on my 1/24 scale model of “Rockfish Ranch” a house and outbuildings inspired by The Waltons.

A forum thread of the project including photos & descriptions.

Occasionally rains & burrowing critters reveal “relics” from past habitation.

This property was once part of a much larger “Donation Land Claim” from the 1800’s.

I found a worn 1” chunk of cobalt, blue glass in the dirt this AM. Perhaps from a druggist/chemist bottle.

Surprised and saddened to learn Diane Keaton has died.

I’ve always enjoyed her acting and found her “quirky” personality funny and endearing.

A post on The Waltons influence on popular culture.

Movies like Poltergeist, Titanic, Star Wars and even Tropic Thunder include details that appear partially inspired by The Waltons television series.

A developing list.

Yes, as others have mentioned my mind goes to OMNI. Never had a subscription but our local library did. It was oversized a bit I think.

I had a Starlog subscription. I ordered my Enterprise D cutaway poster from there.

Anyone remember the advertisements for the miniature, pewter gaming starships?

I thought every family has one or two of these cousins.

I also had a friend in high school who often wore a long, dark trenchcoat, was always carrying a book or two, and seemed wise beyond their age.

I believe he also held onto almost every comic book he’s purchased (since the 80’s?).
