Completey agree, often think along the same lines, re Character actors. Ian Bannen was excellent casting as Jim Prideaux 1979 BBC, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy alongside Alec Guinness

Quote post with your favourite Sam Neill (that isn't Jurassic Park). Easy, I have only watched it once, but I first saw him in Reilly "Ace of Spies, I have always enjoyed its theme music Theme music is the movement from Dmitri Shostakovich's The Gadfly Suite www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLb6...

The Leopard from Lime Street is a comic strip appearing in the British comic Buster from 1976 to 1985. much like Marvel Comics's Spider-Man comic (to which it bears numerous similarities). But I enjoyed it a lot, having a grittier style, and abusive uncle and sickly Aunt.

I changed the Class F shuttle's lower warp engine/boosters to reflect this new look, no need in my mind to change the design completely. Though I will do the TMP shuttle, similar to the one that delivers Spock. always thought it was an interesting design

I tweaked this old rendering of my reimagined phase II Enterprise, with a little more detail at the ends of the warp engines. It's been a long time since I had my head in the Star Trek Universe. Now I am tweaking my D7 Klingon BC model to reflect Phase II upgrades.

Córdoba Spain for a short visit . Near the central feature. The 8th century Mezquita - Cathedral @steeltacos.bsky.social @grahamtg.bsky.social @julixbg1.bsky.social
View from a nearby arch close to the Mezquita.

The Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Córdoba in the Spanish region of Andalusia. 

Started out as a Mosque but later reused as a Cathedral. But instead of demolition. They preserved the structure because of it's beauty. Inside the Mezquita. Limestone and red brick.From a local museum. I liked the colours of the steeple tiles. Not sure if the phone camera does it justice Side of the Mezquita. 8th century

The Painting I picked to appear in the Salon of the Nautilus These painting in gallery's around the world would alas be otherwise lost with the Nautilus. it was researching
"Some thirty pictures by the masters, uniformly framed and separated by gleaming panoplies of arms, adorned walls on which were stretched tapestries of austere design. There I saw canvases of the highest value, the likes of which I had marveled at in private European collections and art exhibitions. The various schools of the old masters were represented by a Raphael Madonna, a Virgin by Leonardo da Vinci, a nymph by Correggio, a woman by Titian, an adoration of the Magi by Veronese, an assumption of the Virgin by Murillo, a Holbein portrait, a monk by Velazquez, a martyr by Ribera, a village fair by Rubens, two Flemish landscapes by Teniers, three little genre paintings by Gerard Dow, Metsu, and Paul Potter, two canvases by Gericault and Prud’hon, plus seascapes by Backhuysen and Vernet. Among the works of modern art were pictures signed by Delacroix, Ingres, Decamps, Troyon, Meissonier, Daubigny, etc., and some wonderful miniature statues in marble or bronze, modeled after antiquity’s finest originals, stood on their pedestals in the corners of this magnificent museum. As the Nautilus’s commander had predicted, my mind was already starting to fall into that promised state of stunned amazement."

My Nautilus concept design from 2016, I had a lot of fun exploring this, though it is my 2nd model. modeled in #lightwave3d #conceptdesign #art
The Nautilus is described as having a cylindrical hull 70 meters long and 8 meters in diameter, while the cylindrical shape is 70 meters, when you add the Spar & Rudder it make it almost 81 meters long 34.1 meters high and just over 30 meters wide and I could just about fit all the internal settings as described by Jules Verne on one level (the mid section), that could house the cabins of Professor Aronnax (2.5 meters long) which would have room for a simple bunk, writing deck, chair wardrobe and adjoining W.C with show, working back then to Captain Nemo larger room (5 meters long) with a work area and W.C. that could contain a bath.

Moving back we have the salon (10 meters long) with the large portholes for viewing the undersea world, this room doubles for museum, that has art and marine collection of some significant value, next is a dining room (5 meters long) of some elegance and adjoining that is the Library (5 meters long) containing 12,000 books.

We are now at the midpoint of the submarine where you will find a spiral staircase connecting 3 level the size of this central section is not given this area connects to other smaller rooms that house the galley & some storage rooms, where I have placed our other two passengers Ned Land and Conseil as they travel 20,000 leagues under the sea’s, moving further back we have a large W.C or bathhouse for the crew which I have estimated at 12 men can bunk comfortably. Then there is the batteries and engine machine areaThe Nautilus is described as having a cylindrical hull 70 meters long and 8 meters in diameter, while the cylindrical shape is 70 meters, when you add the Spar & Rudder it make it almost 81 meters long 34.1 meters high and just over 30 meters wide and I could just about fit all the internal settings as described by Jules Verne on one level (the mid section), that could house the cabins of Professor Aronnax (2.5 meters long) which would have room for a simple bunk, writing deck, chair wardrobe and adjoining W.C with show, working back then to Captain Nemo larger room (5 meters long) with a work area and W.C. that could contain a bath.

The painting are those named in the book by the painters, although the painting I choose are in Art Gallery's around the world.  The Nautilus discovers Atlantis, models by me
