Day 2 of @timelash-event.bsky.social and I went all season 18. Ah, chenille!

Great first day at @timelash-event.bsky.social

The fall in immigration is mutilating Healey’s Budget iandunt.substack.com/p/the-fall-i...

QTP with a video game that transports you back to your childhood ⏳ Never knew how to play this, just enjoyed the flashing lights! Seriously freaked me out many years later when I saw it featured in Threads.

Die TARDIS ist gelandet! #TimeLash #DoctorWho #HomeForWhovians #TARDIS

🌀 Super Typhoon Champi from space 🛰️ Captured early today, these #Copernicus Sentinel-3 images show 2026's strongest storm so far travelling across the Pacific, with wind gusts up to 360 km/h. While the wide view shows its scale, the zoom reveals a detailed look inside its eye.

This is my look for Saturday at @timelash-event.bsky.social. . . . (I mean the one on the left).

Sylvester McCoy and Vicki Michelle at a photocall to promote the return of "Doctor Who" and "'Allo 'Allo!" (1988). #DoctorWho

Go to your camera roll and search "boat" and then post a picture of a boat you like.

I recently sold a copy of my Skylab model in Blender. All profit went to Ukraine to help fight Putin and Trump. For added irony, you can also purchase my Soviet Almaz and TKS models. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 www.cgtrader.com/designers/al...

DON’T MAKE ME COME UP THERE! I’LL FUCK-ING HAVE YOU, YOU SHORT-ARSED, GA-LLIF-REY-AN BAS-TARD!

A double lunar eclipse in the Jovian sky, highlighting the volcanic plumes and sulfur halo around Io, and the water jets erupting from Europa. Stunning #space #art by @justinasvitkus.bsky.social www.artstation.com/artwork/eRNYV3

🆕: Europe’s 1st geostationary sounder enters service today! 🛰️ The satellite - renamed as 'Meteosat-13' - will detect signs of atmospheric instability even before clouds form: "Forecasters will see weather risks earlier... and that saves lives," says EUMETSAT DG Phil Evans: bit.ly/4zshitH

I got this secondhand in a Cub Scout flee market sometime in the mid-80s, when my only exposure to Star Trek was the movies and TAS. A prize possession for many years.

Some more Wing Commander fanart.

It seems like a great time to invite anyone interested in the games to join the Wing Commander community! @wcnews.com has been operating since 1998 and we're a still a wonderful and welcoming community. Our Discord link: discord.gg/vwKE8Tc

It's #Spacetober day 10: Earth Illustration of a hand cradling the Earth, perhaps depicting a divine event such as Creation, or else symbolising Earth's fragility, and our responsibility for its degradation. #SciArt #spaceart

QRP with your moon art. #ArtTrain

They said it couldn’t be done! That it was a crime against nature! “You can’t put two bananas in one skin,” they said. But I showed them. I showed them all! WAH-HAHAHAHA!

A fun little animation, summarising my favourite seasons of For All Mankind to the sound of one of my favourite songs. youtu.be/Q_Z_yzzPCNk?...

Five years on, and it still makes me warm and fuzzy inside to see fanart. The details on display here (such as the scorch marks from the SRB separation motors) show that the video is a labor of love, and that is deeply appreciated. @eofpi.bsky.social @aebdigital.bsky.social youtu.be/l4um2Sj6O1k

More Apollo progress. Nearly up to a quarter-million verts on this one so far. Possibly I'm going a little overboard on the details...

Somehow I managed to completely miss the 2019 New Year’s Day Doctor Who special, and it turns out it’s bloody excellent! Most original Dalek story I’ve seen in years. Also, excellent scarf. (Fingers start involuntary twitching towards knitting needles…)

Qian Xuesen's 1949 concept for a commercial spaceplane, designed to carry 10 passengers from New York to LA in 45 minutes. (Render made with Blender, backgrounds NASA public domain)

I love Thunderbirds’ guest aircraft aesthetic. Its ‘50s British jets projected into the future.

More work on the docking area of the BIS Avalon. I'm trying to make it work in Lightwave 2026, and get render times low enough to animate it. I'm getting there at the cost of turning off GI. vimeo.com/1230288862?s... Also a big still:

Some new sci-fi art. The Valley Forge from Silent Running. Enjoy. #fanart #scifi #lightwave

The Integrated Interplanetary Vehicle, my design for an alternate history joint US-Soviet vehicle for exploring Mars (first picture) and Venus (second picture). Renders made with Blender (Edited NASA public domain images for the backgrounds)

EUMETSAT Stand & Vorträge EUMETSAT, Europas Agentur für meteorologischen Satelliten, überwacht Wetter und Klima aus dem Weltraum. Wir freuen uns auch in diesem Jahr wieder Vertreter der EUMETSAT auf der TimeLash zu begrüssen.

I was going for President Sheridan. I think I hit “random over-dressed guy” instead. Still, having fun at Speyer. Not many places you can hang out with cosplayers and a Buran.

Tongren space station, my design for a joint US-Chinese lunar orbiting station, roughly based on Hexagram 13 of the I Ching. (Renders made with Blender)

Command Module mostly done, except for decals. Working on the Service Module now.

More cool aerospace concept art, this time from a vintage pack of cards for the game I knew growing up as a “Top Trumps”. Amusingly, in German the game is called “Top Ass”.

GRÜSSE VON DER TIMELASH IX: Wenn vor der TARDIS plötzlich „Doktor?“ gerufen wird, kann eigentlich alles passieren. Dieses Mal grüßen euch Claudia Kern und Dr. Rebecca Haar gemeinsam von der TimeLash IX. #TimeLashIX #RoadToTimeLashX #DoctorWho #BeforeWeMeetAgain #MomentsFrom2025

A current pet hate of mine is whimsical names for nuclear weapons. “Portable star”, “Bottled sunshine”, and the like. These things are absolutely horrific and not to be trivialised. youtu.be/fCXXzPcwj3c?...

#Spaceshiptember day 18, Angular I used blender, Rebelle8, Flame painter, CSP, and scanned airbrush and ink sheets to make this #SST #SST26 #scifi #blender #blender3d #rebelle8 #csp
