The Beatles were an English rock band, formed in Liverpool in 1960. They are one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music. From 1962, the group consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals). Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, the group later worked in many genres ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. The nature of their enormous popularity, which first emerged as "Beatlemania", transformed as their songwriting grew in sophistication. They came to be perceived as the embodiment of ideals of the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s.

The Beatles era uma banda de rock britânica, formada em Liverpool em 1960 e o grupo musical mais comercialmente bem-sucedido e aclamado da história da música popular. A partir de 1962, o grupo era formado por John Lennon (guitarra rítmica e vocal), Paul McCartney (baixo e vocal), George Harrison (guitarra solo e vocal) e Ringo Starr (bateria e vocal). Enraizada do skiffle e do rock and roll da década de 1950, a banda veio mais tarde a assumir diversos gêneros que vão do folk rock ao rock psicodélico, muitas vezes incorporando elementos da música clássica e outros, em formas inovadoras e criativas. Sua crescente popularidade, que a imprensa britânica chamava de "Beatlemania", fez com que eles crescessem em sofisticação. Os Beatles vieram a ser percebidos como a encarnação de ideais progressistas e sua influência se estendeu até as revoluções sociais e culturais da década de 1960.

St Michael Old Chapel Paper Model - by Papermau - Capela de São Miguel - Download Now!

Built in 1550 and completely rebuilt in 1622, the Archangel St Michael Chapel is the most ancient church of Sao Paulo and i one of the most ancient of Brazil.
Built by the jesuits and explorers (bandeirantes), with the help of the indians of the region, this church had the function of strategic point of defense.

Uma pequena capela foi construída por volta de 1550 e foi substituída em 1622, pela capela que hoje conhecemos, conforme indicado nas inscrições da verga da porta principal.
Sob a orientação do carpinteiro e bandeirante Fernão Munhoz, a Capela de São Miguel Arcanjo foi construída pelos índios guaianases em 1622. Ela é a única construção na cidade de São Paulo que, depois da reforma que sofreu no século XVII, conserva-se totalmente original, com paredes em taipa de pilão. A igreja foi um dos primeiros prédios tombados pelo Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (atual Iphan), em 1938.
É o templo católico mais antigo da cidade de São Paulo e integra um conjunto de monumentos coloniais.

Subaru Impreza WRC 2006 - by T. Arai - Japan

Photobucket

This Subaru Impreza WRC 2006, by T. Arai is wonderful. Very detailed model, with interior, 1/18 scale.
The Subaru World Rally Team (SWRT) was Subaru's World Rally Championship (WRC) team. It used a distinctive blue with yellow color scheme that is a throwback to the sponsorship deal with State Express 555, a BAT cigarette brand popular in Asia. 555 logos were found on Subaru cars from 1993 to 2003. Subaru's WRC efforts date back to 1980, however, the team, in its current form, has existed since 1989, when the British firm Prodrive took over its operations, and its base moved from Japan to Banbury, England.
Subaru used the team to showcase its all wheel drive technology. It has credited the increased sales of its vehicles, especially the Subaru Impreza, with its success in the World Rally Championship, in addition to popularizing its all-wheel-drive system.

Este modelo do Subaru Impreza WRC 2006, do modelista japonês T. Arai, é incrível. Muito bem detalhado, com interior e em escala 1/18.
Subaru Impreza WRC é o nome do carro utilizado pela Subaru World Rally Team no Campeonato Mundial de Rali a partir do ano de 1997. É uma versão do Subaru Impreza WRX STI modificado para as especificações World Rally Car da FIA. - Wikipedia

Star Wars - X-Wing Starfighter - by J. Leslie

X-wings are fictional starfighters from the original Star Wars trilogy and the expanded universe. They are depicted as the primary interceptor and dogfighter of the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic. The craft has been merchandised as a variety of toys and models and licensed for use in games, novels and comics.
A model of Luke Skywalker's X-wing was among 250 Star Wars-related items on display at the National Air and Space Museum celebrating the franchise's twentieth anniversary. In 2007, the San Diego Tripoli Rocket Association built and launched a 23-foot-long X-wing model propelled by four rockets, which exploded seconds after launch. A life-size X-wing is suspended from a ceiling at Disneyland in California.

X-Wing é um caça estelar utilizada pelos rebeldes na Trilogia Clássica de Star Wars. Sua designação é T-65. É uma nave rápida tanto dentro como fora da atmosfera e alcança a velocidade de hiperespaço.
A nave contava com 4 asas em formato X (daí deriva-se o seu nome) com um canhão laser em cada uma. Possuía também escudos de energia e comportava um piloto e um robô, do mesmo modelo do R2-D2, que possuía a habilidade de reparar e pilotar a nave durante os voos.

Kiss is an American rock band formed in New York City in January 1973. Easily identified by its members' face paint and flamboyant stage outfits, the group rose to prominence in the mid to late 1970s on the basis of their elaborate live performances, which featured fire breathing, blood spitting, smoking guitars, shooting rockets, levitating drum kits and pyrotechnics. Kiss has been awarded 24 gold albums to date, the most of any American rock band. The band has sold more than 40 million albums in the United States, of which 19 million have been certified by the RIAA, and their worldwide sales exceeds 100 million albums.The 1973–'80 lineup of Paul Stanley (vocals and rhythm guitar), Gene Simmons (vocals and bass guitar), Ace Frehley (lead guitar and vocals), and Peter Criss (drums, percussion and vocals) is the most successful and identifiable. With their makeup and costumes, they took on the personas of comic book-style characters: Starchild (Stanley), The Demon (Simmons), Spaceman or Space Ace (Frehley), and Catman (Criss). The band explains that the fans were the ones who ultimately chose their makeup designs. Paul Stanley became the "Starchild" because of his tendency to be referred to as the "starry-eyed lover" and "hopeless romantic." The "Demon" makeup reflected Simmons's cynicism and dark sense of humor, as well as his affection for comic books. Ace Frehley's "Spaceman" makeup was a reflection of his fondness for science fiction and supposedly being from another planet. Peter Criss' "Catman" makeup was in accordance with the belief that Criss had nine lives because of his rough childhood in Brooklyn. Because of creative differences, both Criss and Frehley were out of the group by 1982. The band's commercial fortunes had also waned considerably by that point. Buoyed by a wave of Kiss nostalgia in the 1990s, the band announced a reunion of the original lineup (with makeup) in 1996. The resulting Kiss Alive/Worldwide/Lost Cities/Reunion Tour was the top-grossing act of 1996 and 1997. Criss and Frehley have since left Kiss again, but KISS continues with Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer, respectively. The band continues to perform with makeup, while Stanley and Simmons have remained the only two constant members. - Wikipedia

Kiss (ou KISS) é uma banda de hard rock dos Estados Unidos, formada em Nova York em 1973. Conhecida mundialmente por suas maquiagens, e por seus concertos muito elaborados e até exagerados que incluem guitarras esfumaçantes, cuspir fogo e sangue, pirotecnias e muito mais. O Kiss já recebeu 24 discos de ouro.
Constitui um dos maiores impactos culturais da década de 1970, valendo-se de roupas, e sobretudo, maquiagens nunca antes vistos, e que marcariam a história da música. Seus dois fundadores são Gene Simmons (baixo e vocal) e Paul Stanley (guitarra rítmica e vocal), que ficaram frustrados com o fim de uma banda que formaram, chamada Wicked Lester, assim, decidindo procurar novos integrantes para uma nova banda, encontraram tais integrantes através de anúncio de jornal, Ace Frehley (guitarra solo e vocal) e, pela revista Rolling Stone, Peter Criss (bateria e vocal). - Wikipedia
