Let’s see……..
Upstairs and away for a long-ish period of time…..
Coming back downstairs, obviously hot and sweaty.
Cherry in a change of clothes……
What else is poor, jealous Biff supposed to think?
Next question….what will Biff DO?
Thought you folks might like to know just how much energy each of those grains of “kitty litter” would be carrying. Given the density of iron, a 25mm diameter sphere of iron would weigh right at 7.87g. At .01% of C it would have as much energy as 1.5lb of TNT. At .1% of C that figure rises to 1,490lbs of TNT! Fractional C weapons take the term “kinetic energy weapons” to a whole nother level.
Warning for my readers: The models for Dogishuans that I used were from an old generation of figures, and difficult to use.
I purchased a newer, better generation which looks nothing like the old ones, and will use them from now on.
Be prepared for a hiccup in the Matrix…
At the risk of possibly upsetting someone here, I’d like to invite the group to see some posts I just added to my gallery at Deviant Art. https://www.deviantart.com/bmullins3/gallery
A couple of weeks back the Catman asked for a flatbed truck to use. I have completed the truck itself. It is similar to but not a true model of that U.S. Army’s HEMTT. I have the truck itself done, now I have to figure out how to make a load bed for it. I also want to make a liquid tank suitable for transporting POL and/or water. The tanker part should be reasonably easy. Still thinking about how to properly do the load bed. It all depends upon how much detail I want to crank into it. I did go to some trouble to provide lots of detail in the various parts especially in the area of the cab. Remember, this is meant to be a representation of A tactical truck but not any SPECIFIC tactical truck.
Also at DA are a couple of shots of the next project for the Catman. He wants a – fairly small – explorer craft capable of operating in deep space but still capable on making planetfall. I sent Petercat some pix plus the prototype models. The current models are tiny – under 300K which is quite small. I plan for the real thing to be MUCH finer grained – many more divisions in the spheres, cylinders and cubes which are the basic building blocks of any 3D model. This will be a true collaboration – first one I have tried. I earnestly solicit comments with the caveat that the spaceship model is truly a prototype. The finished model will be much more polished.
While they may not smell like they had sex, the human noses probably won’t tell the difference…
C fractional shrapnel? Not Kitty litter, more like tomato paste! Remember, at a high enough fraction of the velocity of light, even iron will fuse…

Biff will go into a rage, blaming the trollip and possibly attacking Jami. He may be in a body cast tomorrow.
How will the DOGS react to being helped by CATS, the same cats that killed their mates?

Kinetic Energy Weapons – a frequent quote over at r/hfy: Sir Issac Newton is the deadliest SOB in space.
Yes but he is a lousy driver and/or pilot.
