1993 Ducati Supermono Desmoquattro
549 CC air-cooled single-cylinder engine with desmodromic valves 6-Speed Gearbox 75 BHP at 10,000 RPM Dry weight under 121 kg
The Supermono was one of the most innovative racing motorcycles ever produced when it was built in the early 1990s for the well-known Sound of Singles racing series. They have grown to be some of the most sought-after Ducatis with only 67 ever being built. The Supermono, with the single-cylinder engine, acquired the balance of a V-Twin by combining the horizontal front cylinder from the 888 Corsa with a counterbalancing second connecting rod. Large inlet and exhaust valves, 50mm throttle bodies, and twin fuel injectors were some of the additional characteristics carried over from the racing V-Twin. The bike's aluminum swingarm was directly attached to the crankcase and gearbox casting, and the steel-tube frame was constructed in accordance with Ducati's well-known trellis pattern. With the exception of the engine side covers, top yoke, and wheels, which were made of magnesium, carbon fiber was used extensively, resulting in a dry weight under 121 kg.

The Forgeline SL3 Heritage Series wheel is a throwback to one of the most iconic and highly-desired 5-spoke wheel designs in the history of Porsche sports cars, the Speedline Porsche Cup. But unlike the original cast aluminum-centered wheel, the Forgeline SL3 is a modern 3-piece wheel that is manufactured from precision-machined fully-forged 6061-T6 aluminum centers using the latest engineering and manufacturing technology. A traditional five-spoke design with tapered spokes and smooth edges, the SL3 evokes traditional Porsche styling while delivering modern technology and performance. The SL3 is built with true forged 6061-T6 aluminum centers, aircraft-quality ARP stainless steel exposed fasteners, and heat-treated rim sections. The SL3 is available with a stepped lip outer in 18-inch, 19-inch, 20-inch, and 21-inch fitments and features a standard powder coated center finish with a polished outer rim. But since each wheel is custom built-to-order, Forgeline can also offer special features like custom offsets, center locking hubs, and a large choice of finish combinations. And in tribute to the original Porsche Cup wheel, the SL3 is engineered to be assembled in a “bottom mount” configuration (both rim halves installed above the center) so that the rim register is hidden.

Plastic Skies - Model 7: Mirage IV
Tumblr media
Surprise end of the year update on the modeling front. Gonna keep this short and sweet, first because we all have better things to do, and second because I don’t actually have a lot of pics of this one, but yeah. Turns out my father gifted me a cheap little model kit for Christmas. So... this one may get a little personal.
Being former military himself, dad liked to buy my brother and I army toys. We had a massive (to us) box full of cheap army men of every color, tanks and boats and ships and vehicles of (almost) every size, and we would spend long afternoons setting them up over the carpet of our living room. Not really playing games with them, just arranging them in what we thought were the coolest ways. There were other things, toy rifles and pistols and such. To his credit, dad never tried to push either of us towards joining, although the military in our country is an even touchier subject than in the US or a lot of other countries.
Anyway, models were a part of it. It was dad who bought our first ones. Even after we stopped building them, he still bought us a few toy planes here and there wherever we saw them. I remember a particular holiday week on the coast where we spotted a bunch of die-cast planes at a local supermarket, and dad offered to buy us one each day on the way back to the beach. I still have a faded grayish blue Spitfire from that occasion.
Tumblr media
All of this to say that, looking back, I think dad gifting me a model kit for the first time in over two decades would feel... a bit heavier. A bit more momentuous maybe. But for reasons that are an extra layer of personal, it didn’t. Still, I did my best to show this cheap little plane some love. And it was nice to get even more evidence that I’m getting at least a little better at this, since it only took me a day and a half to finish it. I do need to learn how to properly sand off models before painting them, and getting the decals on was a bit of an ordeal (that I’ll blame them for), but it was also fun to get a chance to paint a model in full metal colors. Aluminum in this case, all in accordance to the original plane.
Tumblr media
A plane that, by the way, I didn’t even know existed until I got this. Turns out it’s a supersonic bomber variant of the Mirage, a fair bit larger and made for longer distances. That’s part of the fun of building kits I guess. Learning about new planes. Although it has left me not wanting to see another Mirage for a while now.
Tumblr media
I guess there’s not much else to say about it. The wheels are a bit messy, the seams are visible, and I didn’t exactly bother with any weatherings. Still a nice distraction. And if anything, it’s a good example of something that I hope becomes a trend: next time someone wants to gift me something for any special occasion, howzabout a model?
Anyway, next one might take a while. I’m starting 2023 with an empty bank account and some possible big expenses that will have to be taken care of before I do anything else, but I already know what I want to do and how I want to do it. It’s kinda daunting, mostly because I want to Get It Right, but I do feel a lot more confident about it than I did back in September. So hopefully I can get started soon and it ends up well.
Hope I get to show it off soon too!

8. Top 5 (insert subject):
Before I insert the subject, I have to add I assumed you were choosing the subject 🤦🏻‍♀️but since I like control, it works in my favour to pick one.
Top 5 art mediums you use or like.
Damn… well, my minor was in sculpture and I love doing lost wax casting in various metals. Bronze, iron, aluminum, silver, etc, but I always build up the form in wax, so I’ll say 1) is wax
Wood is a close second. The smell of a wood shop is one of the best things in the world.
Stone is probably third. Right before the pandemic hit, I got a wild burr up my ass to learn how to cut semi precious gemstones into cabochons for jewelry. I haven’t done any since the move because I need to build some work tables, but I’m itching to make some more, cause it’s kinda meditative.
Watercolor/acrylic come fourth because I enjoy painting to a point. I’m pretty terrible and realism but I like doing abstract color theory things
Lastly, clay. I reaaaally want a potters wheel. I haven’t thrown pottery since college, but I really like the entire process. It’s cathartic.
Thanks for the ask!!!

Warning: car crash with graphic bodily injury, driving under the influence, m/m
Gabe told Dave that this was going to happen one day. He just never thought he would be stupid enough to be in the car with him when it did.
He didn't know who had the green light, but it didn't really matter. They were both going way too fast. The large truck slammed into the driver's side of the mini cooper, one headlight framed in the driver's side window and so bright it could have broken the glass even before the impact. Then they hit something else, and the smaller car whipped back to smack against the truck again. Gabe couldn't tell when they stopped spinning, because his vision stayed blinded by it for much longer. 
Weren't there supposed to be airbags? Gabe's body felt as baffled and mangled as the car must be. He braced himself against the dashboard like it was an anchor, willing himself sober enough to understand all of this.
The next thing he realized was that Dave was suddenly much, much closer to him. The car had collapsed inward like an aluminum can, and he wasn't leaning over as much as squeezed out from under the steering wheel like toothpaste from the tube.
"Fuck, Dave," Gabe huffed. "You alive?"
"Y-yeah, maybe?" he panted, then chuckled deliriously. There were cuts along one side of his face from the window exploding, shards glittering down from his arms and chest as he began to move.
The radio base still tutted softly as whatever pop song they had been talking over continued, unbothered by the wreckage. Gabe tried to focus on it to steady his heart and catch his breath, but a delayed panic was seeping in as he looked Dave over. His airbag hadn't gone off, either. The shadows from the streetlights didn't illuminate much, but the inside of the compact two-door car was now too small and jagged. It didn't make sense, and a cold fist gripped around his heart.
"Are you pinned?" he asked, eyes locked on the dark tangle of his legs beneath the crooked steering wheel.
"I.. damn. I think so," Dave whispered, getting his bearings enough to wriggle. He braced his arms against the wheel and the center console, but when he tugged, he shouted in sharp, sudden pain.
"Stop stop stop," Gabe hissed, bracing his shoulders.
"S-s-somethings wrong!" Dave gasped, suddenly hyperventilating. He tried to tug his legs free again only to make himself wail.
"Stop fucking moving!" Gabe demanded as the keening sound became a sob. He clenched Dave's shoulders still, and when the man finally collapsed against what was left of his seat, he saw a clammy sheen on his pained expression.
He needed a phone. Where the fuck were their phones!? He cast around blindly for them but it was too dark. Gabe's hands tugged dumbly at his seatbelt for a long moment before he got himself free and threw open his door.
It was a friday night, on a busy city intersection, and the sidewalk they landed against already hosted a small crowd as both pedestrians and traffic around them slowed to gawk. Someone had to have called 911 by now, right? Gabe glanced at the large silver truck that had rammed them and noticed both doors were thrown open, but there was no one nearby. This was Chicago, he thought numbly. There was a good chance the truck was stolen, and the people driving it had already bailed out.
He ducked his head back into the car, and with the overhead lights on, gave a sharp moan. Dave was white as a sheet, his pale blue jeans soaking through with blood. Unlike the bright red, thin streaks on his face and neck, a deep maroon was spreading up his thighs. Dave followed his gaze and tried to run his hand down his leg like he was looking for the rest of himself, and his palm came away thickly smeared. Gabe was about to bolt for the crowd, to demand anyone's phone, when he began to hear sirens echoing off the buildings. 
"Ohhh fuck, Dave, fuck fuuuck!" he groaned, crawling the shortened distance across to him and ignoring the glass digging into his hands and knees. Dave was staring at his palm, his breath a quick, shallow rush. His glasses had been knocked clear off his face, and Gabe didn't know if he just couldn't see or if he was going into shock. "It's okay, you're okay. D-don't look at it, an ambulance is coming, j-just hold tight."
"I'm bleeding," he whimpered. "I-I think I'm bleeding a-a lot. And I can't.. I can't feel my legs. I can't move anything."
There was so much fear in his voice that it broke Gabe, and he cupped the other man's scruffy jaw and pressed his forehead to Dave's temple.
"Shhhh," he pleaded. "It's gonna be okay. They'll get you out of here, it'll be fine."
"Gabe, I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Fuck, fuck, I-I shouldn't have been.."
"It's fine, I'm good, and we're going to get you out of here."
"N-no, I.." he whispered, then his voice drifted.
After a moment, Gabe leaned back to see him better and chase the rest of that sentence. Dave stared back, his expression distant and sad. Without blinking, his dulled blue eyes drifted upward.
"No! No! NO!" Gabe roared desperately, patting Dave's bloody face with small, desperate slaps to rouse him again. Something tugged him back, tugged them apart, and Gabe clutched his head and neck desperately as he cried his name. Dave's head lolled in his arms and his eyes stayed open, lifeless and flat. Hands, hands were tugging Gabe back and he fought them as he panicked.
One of the EMTs was a large man, and pinned Gabe's arms roughly to his sides as he dragged him out and sat him on the sidewalk like a child. There was so much noise out here, sirens and shouts and lights swinging from every response vehicle that rolled up. The white panels of Dave's two-toned car alternated red and blue and looked as if half of the car had been crushed in on itself, the back end pinned to a bent lamp post. It had been the only thing that kept them from ending up on the crowded sidewalk, or through the front of a tattoo shop. The crowd of artists lining the front window, watching him in shock, finally convinced Gabe to stop fighting. He complied, sitting on the curb, but shouted at the large man that he was fine, let go, help Dave.
It took so, so long. Gabe was ready to crawl out of his skin, arms pulling his knees tightly to his chest as firefighters worked a massive, hydraulic set of scissors against the driver's side doors to spread it open. Two EMTs had taken his place on the passenger's side, and Dave must still be alive because they were slapping braces and tubes on him. There wasn't a breath in Gabe's body as they finally, slowly pulled his mangled body out. He didn't remember standing up, but gravitated around the car and toward the stretcher they gingerly placed him on - until he saw the crushed remains of one of his legs held on only by the hem of his blood-drenched jeans as it was set in place in the cot. The next thing he knew, Gabe was on his hands and knees at the edge of a pothole, vomiting every drop of alcohol he'd had that night onto the cratered street.
He barely had the sense to try to convince EMTs to leave him alone a second time between quaking sobs. When a pair of CPD officers began to callously demand questions from him - none of which he had an answer to - he decided instead to try to retch onto their shoes before collapsing back and let the EMTs scoop him up. They would figure out what had happened soon enough, he wasn't about to tell them shit. It was an expensive ride to the hospital with his bare-bones countycare plan, but at least he was right behind Dave.
………
They weren’t really friends when he moved in with Dave three years ago. If Gabe hadn’t been desperate, he would have never considered living with a straight, cishet white boy with a rich daddy.
They had mutual friends from university, and when Gabe needed to move out of a bad domestic situation that was rapidly getting worse, someone mentioned Dave Schneider had just posted online looking for someone to split the lease of the rather sunny top floor of a Logan Square three-flat. Gabe knew that even if he was the worst type of spoiled man-child, living with him on a reduced sublet would be better than where he was living before.
From what Gabe could remember of Dave in university, the guy hadn’t been half bad. He wasn’t exactly popular but still seemed to have friends everywhere, and had been at nearly every party Gabe went to. Pre-med and smart, but spoiled enough he never seemed to take school seriously. He had been notoriously bad at holding his liquor, but in a way that was almost endearing – everyone who knew him seemed to have at least one hilarious story about him. Gabe had seen him around, spoke to him a few dozen times, but they never really hung out. He had thought Dave was friends with a suspicious number of art and theater majors to be entirely straight, but he was in some long-term relationship with a girl just conservative and Christian enough that it gave Gabe the creeps. Turns out, Dave had dropped out of college before his senior year, too, and their relationship ended there. 
Gabe asked around about him online before he reached out to him, and did his fair share of cyber-stalking. He had some decent sounding gig with an insurance company, but it was a far cry from being a doctor. He looked cozy in photos with a few different girls, always by the lake or in front of graffiti or with iced coffees in hand, but didn’t seem attached to anyone. Too many photos with a pitbull-looking mutt for Gabe's liking, but always with the same guy, so he hoped the dog wasn't his.
He didn’t seem like a serial killer, or even an asshole, so a dog was about the only thing that would keep Gabe from moving in the moment Dave would let him.
It wasn’t five minutes after he sent him a tentative message that Dave responded in a long series of two or three sentence replies. Then a bunch of photos of the apartment. No dog. And while it was an afterthought, he also asked enough questions about how Gabe's life was going that he seemed to actually want to know. Gabe moved in three days later.

1933 INDIAN-CROCKER 45CI OHV SPEEDWAY RACING MOTORCYCLE ENGINE NO. GB OHV 00
Created by master bike-builder Gwen Banquer, this motorcycle is an Indian 101 Scout fitted with a copy of Al Crocker's famous overhead-valve conversion kit. It is one of a limited series of only seven such machines, the construction of which commenced circa 1995/96, and is the only one modeled on a 1930s board track racer.
Crocker's overhead-valve conversion kit for the 101 Scout started out as an all-cast iron affair before the second series switched to aluminum-alloy for the cylinder heads. Surviving original kits are exceptionally rare, so Gwen Banquer was especially fortunate to acquire (on loan) an original un-machined set of the later alloy/iron type, from which casting patterns were made. It should be noted that, although of 'stock' appearance, the Banquer 'heads have more 'meat' in the valve seat area to prevent cracking. 
Gwen first displayed a mock-up of his Crocker OHV-converted 101 Scout motor during Daytona Bike Week in March 1996, and by August of the same year the first bike had been finished and was running. Gwen rode his first Crocker Scout at Daytona in 1997 and later that year received a 1st place award for 'Best American Motorcycle 1926-1940' at the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days held at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington. Mike Corbin had seen Gwen on that first Crocker conversion at Daytona and told him that he wanted to buy it, thus beginning a great friendship between the two men. Indeed, Corbin was so impressed with the bike that he immediately commissioned Gwen to build him a speedway version.
The machine offered here was originally built for motorcycle seat magnate Mike Corbin; Gwen Banquer built for and delivered to him at Bike Week in 2000. Gwen's superb re-creation incorporates an original Rudge speedway frame, wheel hubs and gas tank, complemented by period accessories such as Telex forks and a Messenger seat. (Crocker speedway bikes usually used Rudge or Martin frames). The 45ci 101 Scout motor incorporates a remade crankshaft; high-compression pistons; high-lift, long duration cams; and a stock, total loss oil pump. Ignition is by magneto and the carburetor is a 1⅛" Linkert. The Scout's helical-geared primary drive has been dispensed with, drive being taken by chain to the single-speed Rudge transfer gearbox's dry clutch.
With the bike completed but yet to be painted and plated, Gwen took it for a run on a speedway tack. He found it extremely fast and easy to slide in the turns, but with no brakes and a very high power-to-weight ratio, reckoned it was too easy to get 'over enthusiastic'. Discretion got the better part of valor and no further test rides were undertaken after the bike had been finished.

1979 Pontiac Sunbird Sport Safari Wagon
•••
The car illustrated is a Pontiac Sunbird Sport Safari Wagon in Cameo White equipped with optional cast aluminum wheels, bumper rub strips, luggage rack and air deflector.
The Pontiac Sunbird Safari Wagon was introduced in 1978 as a successor to the Pontiac Astre.
Built on the General Motors H-body was a cousin to the Chevrolet Vega and Chevrolet Monza.
So, for the 1978 and 1979 model years, the Astre wagon became the Sunbird Safari Wagon as a competitor of the Ford Pinto Wagon.
No major modifications were made during its two-year presence.
Only minor changes were made for a 1979. A new horizontal grille was added.
The Sunbird Sport Safari was Pontiac's sub-compact for people who want some sportiness with their wagoneering. The Sport Safari was designed to be fun. Yet helpful. So within that sporty little body you could find 46.6 cu. ft. of candy cargo space (rear seat down). For boxes. Or bags. Or baseball gear. There was also room for four inside. With contoured vinyl bucket seats. Floor-shifted 4-speed. And a handsome deluxe cushion steering wheel.
Two engines were offered for 1979 including the
🔥150.8 CID (2.5 l) four cylinder “Iron Duke”
and optional
🔥231.3 CID (3.8 l) V6 (Buick)
The choice of three transmissions included
⚙️4-speed manual
⚙️5-speed manual
⚙️3-speed Turbo Hydramatic 350 automatic transmission.
Optional features included a rally gauge package, sunroof, tilt wheel and air conditioning.

Get to Know About the Cast Aluminum Applications
Other than cast metal you won't find anything better from a personality standpoint. Due to this particular reason, things like cellphones and big trucks are made from this type of metal. It provides resistance to heat due to the metal's strength. Additionally, this metal is used for a variety of applications because of its low weight. We will talk about the many uses for cast aluminum in this post.
It's incredible to learn that the majority of items on the market are constructed using cast aluminum components. Even some of them are constructed out of this metal. Let's discuss some typical applications for this metal in various sectors.
Tumblr media
Medical equipment
Additionally, cast aluminum parts are used to make parts for many medical gadgets. It is a result of this material's strength and heat resistance. The gearbox of a hospital bed, the pieces of a monitor, surgical instruments, and pump parts are some excellent examples of these parts and gadgets.
Auto parts
This metal is utilized to create parts and components for a variety of items since it is lightweight and sturdy. For example, it's employed in the production of various automobile parts. For example, it is employed in the construction of car safety elements like airbag housing and seat belt contractors.
Additionally, it is employed in the creation of steering knuckles that support the wheel bearing. We are aware that this is a crucial part of a vehicle's suspension. This metal's small weight contributes to the vehicle's weight reduction without compromising its performance or strength.
Tumblr media
Garden Furniture
If you're considering investing in patio furniture, we advise that you search for pieces that are aesthetically pleasing, long-lasting, and with minimal maintenance. Similar to that, you can take into account this metal if you're searching for an exterior and straightforward in a variety of hues, finishes, and designs.
Firearms
This metal is also used to make firearms. The most widely used weapons have plastic parts, as may be seen by looking at them. However, some of its parts are also formed of metals that were cast in dies. For instance, you'll observe that the trigger safety, trigger guards, and triggers are all made of Casting Aluminum.
