A Complete Samurai Armor Paper Model - by Mogamiyoshiaki



Real Samurais With Their Armors - Circa 1860
In this wonderful page you can find a complete Samurai Armor! Samurai is the term for the military nobility of pre-industrial Japan. According to translator William Scott Wilson: "In Chinese, the character 侍 was originally a verb meaning to wait upon or accompany a person in the upper ranks of society, and this is also true of the original term in Japanese, saburau. In both countries the terms were nominalized to mean "those who serve in close attendance to the nobility", the pronunciation in Japanese changing to saburai. According to Wilson, an early reference to the word "samurai" appears in the Kokin Wakashū (905–914), the first imperial anthology of poems, completed in the first part of the 10th century. By the end of the 12th century, samurai became almost entirely synonymous with bushi (武士), and the word was closely associated with the middle and upper echelons of the warrior class. The samurai followed a set of rules that came to be known as Bushidō. While they numbered less than 10% of Japan's population samurai teachings can still be found today in both everyday life and in modern martial arts such as Kendō, meaning the way of the sword.


Real Samurai Armor From Maeda Family,
Who Were Daimyo (Feudal Lords) Of Kaga Province 
Neste maravilhoso site você encontrará uma Armadura Samurai completa! Honra. Justiça. Perfeição. Lealdade. Estas são algumas das palavras associadas aos Samurais, a classe guerreira do Japão feudal e, até hoje, sua influência é sentida no modo de viver e de pensar do povo japonês. Os samurais surgiram, como classe guerreira, na época feudal do Japão e dominaram o país por quase oito séculos (século VIII ao XIX). Ser um samurai era um prestígio social, uma vez que a classe guerreira ocupava os mais altos cargos dentro da ditadura militar nipônica, chamada de Xogunato ou Bakufu. Inicialmente, a função do samurai era apenas coletar impostos e servir ao Império. A partir do século X, a figura do samurai toma forma e ganha uma série de funções militares, alcançando seu ápice no século XVII. Samurai (kanji: 侍) significa literalmente "aquele que serve", herança de quando eram subordinados diretamente ao imperador. Outro termo muito usado para se referir aos samurais é Bushi (武士), que significa literalmente "guerreiro". É a raiz da palavra Bushido (武士道), ou "Caminho do Guerreiro".

Citroen 2 CV Bicephale – Sapeurs Pompiers Du Var Paper Model
In 1/35 Scale - by Paper Diorama

This "Frankenstein" vehicle, with two engines, two transmissions and two flywheels is actually two Citroen 2 CV sawed in half and welded. This extravagant vehicle was not born a whim of customizers, but of the need for firefighters to maneuver their vehicles on narrow, winding roads in the French mountains. This 1/35 scale Citroen 2 CV Bicephale paper model was created by the staff of the Italian website Paper Diorama.

Este veículo "Frankenstein", com dois dois motores, duas transmissões e dois volantes, na verdade são dois Citroen 2 CV serrados ao meio e soldados. Este veículo extravagante não nasceu um capricho de customizadores e sim da necessidade de bombeiros em manobrarem suas viaturas em estradas estreitas e sinuosas em montanhas francesas. Este modelo de papel do Citroen 2 CV Bicephale na escala 1/35 foi criado pelo pessoal do site italiano Paper Diorama.

Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea - The Flying Sub Paper Model
by Mike Botelho - R.I.P. David Hedison


David Hedison and Richard Basehart
 at the interior of the Flying Sub
Today I heard about the death of Mr. Albert David Hedison, Jr. (May 20, 1927 – July 18, 2019), the great American film, television, and stage actor. He was billed as Al Hedison in his early film work. In 1959, when he was cast in the role of Victor Sebastian in the short-lived espionage television series Five Fingers, NBC insisted that he change his name. He proposed that he use his middle name and he has been billed as David Hedison ever since. He is known for his role as Captain Lee Crane in Irwin Allen's television series Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and as CIA agent Felix Leiter in two James Bond films, Live and Let Die and Licence to Kill.

As tribute of a fan, I leave here a stunning paper model of the Flying Sub, the aquatic vehicle from Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, 1960`s TV Series. This really cool paper model was created by designer Mike Botelho and was originally posted at J. Leslie 48 website.


Só hoje fiquei sabendo do falecimento do Sr. Albert David Hedison, Jr. (20 de maio de 1927 - 18 de julho de 2019), o grande ator americano de cinema, televisão e teatro. Ele estreou como Al Hedison em seu trabalho no cinema. Em 1959, quando escalado para o papel de Victor Sebastian na curta série de televisão de espionagem Five Fingers, a NBC insistiu que ele mudasse de nome. Ele propôs então que se usasse o seu nome do meio e assim ele ficou conhecido como David Hedison. Entre seus papéis mais marcantes está o Capitão Lee Crane na cultuada série de televisão Viagem ao Fundo do Mar (Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea) de Irwin Allen e também como o agente da CIA Felix Leiter em dois filmes de James Bond, Live and Let Die e License to Kill.

Como um tributo de fã, deixo aqui um modelo de papel impressionante do Flying Sub, o veículo aquático de Viagem ao Fundo do Mar, da clássica série de 1960. Este belíssimo modelo foi criado pelo designer Mike Botelho e originalmente postado no site J. Leslie 48.
