Borkert says they are now re-incorporating clay models into the design process in the interview, and the Lamborghini Manifesto concept is a full scale clay model
Indeed the creative people aren’t going anywhere in Borkert’s view. Just as well, as Centro Stile is now comprised of 25 designers from all manner of backgrounds. He is insistent that understanding and experience with all of the old ways is essential to their standing in their field, however the process of car design is to evolve. He even brought back more physical elements of the design process – from tape-drawing to clay modeling – when he took the reins at Centro Stile, the latest example being the Lamborghini Manifesto design study, fully expressed in clay and revealed at the event:

Happy birthday Marines! In hindsight telling some my mailing address will probably have interesting ramifications if the balloon goes up in the South China Sea

There is supposedly some contention over whether cats are aware of what color or pattern they are. This one absolutely is

The NATO AWACS unit in particular has had a new public affairs team that is clearly enjoying themselves

The Atlantic Council's own website has something so unintentionally hilarious that you have to wonder if their PR minders are now in malicious compliance mode www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-at...
Picking up on Matt’s point, in the hopeful event that Maduro leaves, it needs to be made abundantly clear to the Venezuelan military the severe consequences of killing to remain in power. Most of these forces are not loyal to Nicolás Maduro. Many are either scared of being thrown in jail if they go against Maduro or are directly benefiting from the illicit financial resources that Maduro procures and then doles out to military officials. If those resources are drying up, well, do you want to take additional action to perpetuate a regime that’s falling? Or do you want to be on the right side of history?

yeah chief a more "humanized" version of this is why the Silicon Valley love-hate relationship discourse around H1B Indian hires and increasingly in other industries is becoming extremely racialized

Late 2021: What sort of events would result in a not-world war fought simultaneously in Singapore, Incheon, Doha and Queen Maud Land to name a few anyway?

Late 2025: I guess the United States is gonna do something to Venezuela and Nigeria at the same time now thanks to Trump's TV habits

韓国アカデミー社は、多色成形プラスチックキットで韓国市場で好調なようだ。塗装は任意で、プラスチック自体が既に正しい色になっているためステッカーも付属しているが、自分で塗装するキットよりは高価だ。今では現代自動車のモデルキットまで製造している。

私の経験では、部品ははめ込むだけで十分にフィットしますが、より強固な固定のために接着することも可能です。

I haven't been pulled aside after getting blood tests and blood glucose tests bundled with my clinic visits (thank you Malaysian government subsidised healthcare) so I just assume nothing too crazy is in there

also apparently they sell pineapple flavor Omega 3 gummies out here

Gotta say you moved faster on it than my SEAC Hurricane, since I might have overcooked the clear coat and made it still smell of the stuff drying through Sunday afternoon

Lockheed Martin is apparently pushing Google Gemini to its workforce, to which I say good luck to everyone involved
“Collaborating with Google Public Sector to bring Gemini onpremises underscores our commitment to delivering cuttingedge, secure AI capabilities that directly support our missioncritical programs. This initiative equips our engineers with powerful tools—safely and at scale—to accelerate innovation in support of our business and critical missions,” said Greg Forrest, Vice President of AI Foundations and Commercialization at Lockheed Martin. In the first phase, Google's generative AI technologies will be integrated into Lockheed Martin's unclassified on-premise environment, providing Lockheed Martin's workforce access to Google's suite of AI tools using Google Gemini on Google Distributed Cloud. "Our collaboration with Lockheed Martin is a testament to our joint commitment to bringing the power of generative AI to meet the needs of our public sector customers,” said Jim Kelly, Vice President of Federal, Google Public Sector. “We are proud to take yet another industry-leading step with Lockheed Martin to deploy the most advanced AI tools to support government agencies, while adhering to the absolute highest standards of security and data governance.”

My paperback is this one with the stylized fuse lighting. The spine is now well and truly too worn to offer a trade with the Type 74(?!) cover

For a brief period of time "modern day" Ubisoft games used the same fictional vehicle models with some modification!

模型製作のスキルが多少必要です。特にパテの扱いと研磨が重要です！

別の1/72スケール・ヒンドを試したいなら、Zvezda社のキットがこのスケールでは現在最高と聞いています

イタレリも依然として自社のヒンドを販売しており、今年発売された製品は特殊塗装仕様に焦点を当てている
