interfluxnik 48 at the hiller september 13 2023 the interfluxnik 48 table has been part of the permanent collection at the hiller aviation museum in san carlos ca since 2014 helicopter designer stanley hiller jr was born november 15 1924 in san francisco at age 15 he engineered a prototype for a coaxial helicopter 2 concentric sets of counter rotating blades calling it the xh 44 hiller copter 2 years later he opened a small factory on addison st in berkeley ca kids those days nasa s helicopter on mars ingenuity is a coaxial bladed machine now for something much less complex you might recall the hiller museum was the venue for a sw episode one fan festival back in 1999 or 2000 ralph mcquarrie graced the proceedings with his quiet magnetism please pardon the resolution stills

in 1974 built by howard to aid the cia in salvaging the sunken soviet submarine k 129 that went missing in 1968 it s currently anchored at treasure island in sf bay more here http en wikipedia org wiki hughes_mining_barge inside the mammoth super structure lives the stealth ship sea shadow ron reagan cashed in some tax proceeds to develop the boat and its proto stealth technology in the early 80 s more here http en wikipedia org wiki sea_shadow_ ix 529 it s brain melting cool and a week ago scrapping commenced museums declined to save it the sea shadow will be reduced to five foot sections of plate and cage scale ref just over 300 feet in length massive pontoons and control planes kept the ship stable at 14 2 knots not as deranged as the russian s beautiful ekranoplan vva 14 there s a creepy simplicity to the sea shadow s form not to mention scale standing under a boat this size is not right lead ballast ejected from the pontoons stacked neatly propelled by two detroit diesel allison diesel electric engines buried deep inside the upper haul various exhaust scrubbing devices hid its heat signature from heat seekers sure nough detroit finds its way into the hearts of most

detropia september 26 2012 speaking of diy the proud folks of detroit have endured in the midst of its reinvention check out this doc by rachel grady and heidi ewing playing near and dear to you at times and place tba posted in uncategorized 1 comment diy march 10 2012 the period of time after the first film in 1977 was an especially fertile one for folks building and emulating what they saw on the screen it was an open house at the gm tech center in warren mi where i saw the model shop s rendition of one of ralph mcquarrie s most iconic designs the experience caused a synaptic connection between what my dad and his colleagues designed and manufactured in detroit with the work ralph mcquarrie and george lucas were doing in california of course star wars wasn t the first film to launch the imaginations of the masses from all indications however it appeared to be a creative slap in the face that energized people to cut through that thick late seventies malaise was the movie a clarion call from a narrow tubed war trumpet that restored the faith in our resourcefulness our freedom to vac form and kit bash at will to glue estes model rocket engines to anything not bolted down diy gm design staff folks in the dome at the tech center the gm r2 had hot wheels glued at the base of his dome their wheels in a track enabling spin nothing says 1970 s like a scratch built r2 d2 and shag carpeting posted in uncategorized 3 comments rmq march 8 2012 ralph mcquarrie inspired generations he will be missed posted in uncategorized 3 comments mad metal jacket august 3 2011 this marks the 50th year of mad magazine s spy vs spy olde lucasfilm colleague jon bresman and david croatto at mad combined their wonder powers and sent me the blank figure to garnish in ways that were self pleasing kit bashing was the order of the day something like 12 random kits cyanoacrylate and kicker and primer 72 hours passed and as i ran out the door to go to india i threw this in the mail to david please feel repelled to see more views here http mad blog dccomics com 2011 08 02 spy vs spy custom toy project jay shuster more 18521 on the subject here s another custom figurine thing from 2006 kevin skinner hooked me up with this gig i augered out the solid wood head with the dremel and kit bashed the brain i never get beyond primer and simple color with these things form is everything sometimes posted in uncategorized 2 comments auto rickshaw july 1 2011 the only thing missing from rush hour in india indian rush hour 24 hours is the body count how the 3 wheelers 2 wheelers 4 wheelers and 16 wheelers intermingle without a michael bay movie happening is beyond western sensibilities the force that surrounds us penetrates us and binds the galaxy together apparently also prevents large trucks from squishing vespas in new delhi posted in uncategorized 5 comments avionic june 2 2011 photocopied sketch from 1998 indian air force i don t know that mig silhouette is the best rakeysh omprakash mehra directed rang de basanti in 2006 it s a film that alternates between british occupied and current day india and folks finding their identity in the process overly simplistic synopsis but then ends with an epilogue revealing how an inordinate many indian air force migs and pilots have crashed and died in the recent past a viewing will dispel the mystery posted
