RAM MODEL TO RIDE NAKED THROUGH NEWCASTLE!

RAM life model is set to ride nude on horseback through the streets of Newcastle!
Model and actress Zoe Simon  in collaboration with Czech performance artist Tereza Buskova will stage the Corn Women project  in which actress Zoe Simon will ride through the car park beneath the old Commercial Union building off Newcastle’s Pilgrim Street to a musical accompaniment. The event will be filmed to be shown at a gallery in the city, in a performance involving Northumbria and Teesside universities.

Tereza, who is originally from the Czech Republic, studied fine art at Northumbria University before moving to the Royal College of Art and becoming feted in London and abroad for her talent. Her work has been described as blending “dreamy, visceral images” of nature and magic to reinterpret traditional Bohemian rituals and old pagan traditions.

MSN-001X-2 DELTA GUNDAM KAI II by Gianshopao

I was Checking through the Mecha Lounge when I came across this beautiful Delta plus conversion by Gianshopao.


Actually he wanted to enter this in the 2012 mech contest but was to busy with important college stuff.
His intention on the kit was to make it as an updated version of the Delta gundam Kai thus the name delta gundam Kai II
I really like the work he did on this kit and it definitely shows how nice the Delta gundam Version Kai can look if done right. Everything is right on the spot, and looks very balance. 















Also he posted some of his WIP pictures. I think they show very nicely all the work he put in to this kit to make it look as cool as it does.
