XT-002 Deconstructor from World of Warcraft

"I've submitted some WoW NPC designs before and wanted to submit a few instance boss designs as well; I think the game is overall pretty hit or miss with designs but that bosses tend to be some of the better ones, largely because they're not all just the same roughly-similar-looking humanoid models over and over again. I think technically XT's design is not unique to him as there's at least one other creature that I think shares his model, but either way I enjoy the design a lot. Love me a big robot with floaty hands"

285 MG MGA Roadster (1957) NKU 901 by Robert Knight Via Flickr: MG MGA Roadster (1955-59) Engine 1489 cc S4 OHV Engine 1489cc BMC B Series S4 Production 58.750 Registration Number NKU 901 (Bradford) MG SET www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623797586658... The MGA replaced the MG TF 1500 Midget and represented a complete styling break from MG's earlier sports cars. Designed in house by Syd Enever and officially launched at the 1955 Frankfurt Motor Show. Although Syd Enever's new design radically changed the appearance of MG Sportscars, by replacing generations of the traditional sit-up-and-beg shape for a modern all enveloping body line with integral head lights, it was actually based on a design by Enever of a one of streamlined body for George Philips' 1951 TD Le Mans. It was a body-on-frame design, and suspension was independent with coil springs and wishbones at the front and a rigid axle with semi-elliptic springs at the rear. Steering was by rack and pinion. The car was available with either wire-spoked or steel-disc road wheels. A prototype was built and shown to the BMC chairman Leonard Lord. He turned down the idea of producing the new car as he had just signed a deal with Donald Healey to produce Austin-Healey cars two weeks before. Falling sales of the traditional MG models caused a change of heart, and the car, initially to be called the UA-series, was brought back. As it was so different from the older MG models it was called the MGA (first of a new line), Rather than the originally intended XPAG unit, the car was fitted with the new straight-4 BMC B Series engine from the MG Magnette saloon. MG Magnette saloon, coupled to a four-speed gearbox. Unlike the coupe, the convertible had no exterior door handles. The 1489 cc engine fitted with twin H4 type SU Carburettors produced 68 hp at launch, but was soon up-rated to Lockheed hydraulic drum brakes were used on all wheels. In 1958 a high performance Twin Cam model was added to the model range with an output of 108bhp and with four wheel Dunlop disc brakes along with Dunlop peg drive knock-off steel wheels similar to wheels used on racing Jaguars. In May 1959 the standard cars also received an updated engine, now at 1588 cc producing 79.5 bhp, these later cars were known as the MGA 1600 and 1600 Deluxe and had front disc brakes but retained the drum rear brakes Diolch am 99,018,662 o olygiadau gwych, mae pob un ohonynt yn cael eu gwerthfawrogi'n fawr.

288 MGA Fastback Coupe (1957) DWH 6 by Robert Knight Via Flickr: MG MGA Roadster (1955-59) Engine 1489 cc S4 OHV Engine 1798cc BMC B Series S4 Production Unique Registration Number DWH 6 (Bolton) MG SET www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623797586658... Certainly different. This stylish aluminium bodied MGA is the imagining of Warren Kennedy of Classic Restorations in Bedfordshire. The MGA Fastback Coupe started life as a standard 1957 MGA, the steel body was stripped back to the basic bulkhead and redesigned with a Superleggera inner frame with an aluminium skin, with sweeping rear wings and flowing backdrop, sweeping side vents and Zagato flush fitting door handles right down to the sculptured twin tail pipes with these delicate styling helped complete Kenedy's vision. The interior sports instrumentation in a 1950’s styled theme, purposeful designed door panels and furniture to complement the touring bucket seats in traditional Connelly leather and Wilton carpet and even a Les Leston steering wheel. The exterior is painted in the traditional MG Midnight Blue with bright red leather trim. The car is powered by an MGB 1798cc engine rebuilt with modifications, mated to a five speed gearbox.
