1/1 mode Bramble by Ashley Wood is coming along beautifully.. It's amazing how much some olive drab.. some yellow and a lot of rust.. bring out the beauty of his creations..

I didn't think that I was going to be impressed watching a robot folding origami.. But after seing the scale of the actual finished piece.. I was impressed at the dexterity of the pincers.. Imagine what can be done when an 'opposable thumb' model comes out..

I was also very impressed with Muto by Blu.. Ambiguous creatures animated on the streets of Argentina.. I can only imagine the frenzied speed at which all the painting was done.. Tons of painting and painting over.. It looks all to be done in the span of a day.. And to get over seven minutes of action together must have been killer..
Thanks to Juneten for the heads up..

I've always liked the form-factor of those old military angled flashlights that have been around since WWII.. and here's a modern take with the First Light Tomahawk.. Same 90-degree head.. but with improved rotating MOLLE compatible retention clip.. finger clip for more dexterity.. multiple light modes and colors..

Vapors issue 48.. The 2-Wheel issue.. Get your fix online or at bookstores near you..

More flying knee action coming your way with Tony Jaa who stars and directs OngBak2.. Big rumble in the jungle..

Ah.. going back to my kid days.. Collecting comics.. That's when Eastman & Laird produced the original TMNT comics back in the mid 80's.. Fierce and gritty.. blood and guts.. before they became 'kid friendly'.. Here's a true representation of the old-school TMNT action figures.. All in red masks.. the way they should look..

Thanks to my longtime fellow.. Flynamic for the 411..

Still desert-dwelling.. but still squeezin' out some news whenever I can..

Here's a sneak peek at the Alfa Romeo MiTo Cabriolet.. This mini SD takes on styling cues from it older sibling the 8C.. Both of which were designed by Alfa's new in-house design team in Milan.. Seriously.. I can't wait till Alfa hits North America again..

The British government has issued the new L115A3 Long Range Rifle to their current sniper teams.. With a 25x scope.. larger/longer barrel.. and a larger 8.59mm round.. this new system is accurate up to 1.5km away.. A folding stock makes it look smaller during transport.. and makes it harder to distinguish the sniper from his peers when they're on the other side of the scope.. Check the video to see it in action..
