GM offered the Autronic-Eye in 1952-’59 models (though dates varied by division), including a redesign in 1958. The 1960-’61 model years saw another redesign and a curious name change to Guide-Matic; Cadillac alone offered the option through its 1964 models.
Frank acts perfectly casual as he walks in, shucking his leather jacket and tossing it across the waist-high partition between foyer and dining room. His nonchalant amble sets Mikey on immediate alert; he follows Frank into the living room, where his friend turns to him with an expression that hovers somewhere between smug and annoyed.
“Hey Mikey. So, what the fuck?”
“What the fuck what?”
Frank lands, quickly and decisively, on annoyed. “What the fuck is going on with Gee, Mikey?”
“…Ah.” He feels his face go flat. “That.”
“Yeah, that.”
“I… don’t know. Um. I think I might be bisexual?”
“And you figured this out because you wanna get with a college student who reminds you of your dead brother?”
The incredulity in his voice would be comedic if this were any other situation. Mikey hopes it is in this one, too, but he has no way to know. He soldiers on, like this is just the same as any other conversation they’ve had, like he’s not afraid he’s about to lose his best friend of twenty-plus years over his brand new… whatever-they-are.
“Jesus, let it all out, why don’t you? He’s 23, he works freelance graphic design.”
“23 isn’t really better, Mikey, that’s still nearly half our age.” Frank grimaces as soon as he hears himself. “Christ, we got old.”
It slips out before Mikey can stop himself: “Not all of us.”
“…No,” Frank agrees, much softer. “Not all of us.”
The conversation grinds to a brief, painful halt, but there’s no point in apologizing. It’s been decades since there was. And Mikey isn’t sorry, really; Frank is the one who brought it up. If you call up a ghost, you can’t be mad about the wailing.
That sounds like something Gerard would say.
Would have said.
A finished project again, took me a little over a month to complete (if you ignore the near year I took in between doing Just The Head and literally everything else). Hope you’re ready for a long spiel!
This is the GM Night Seeker II! A pban kit I bought in bulk some time ago to make a squad out of. This is the first of that, and I hope the project as a whole pans out. I’ll talk more about the concept there at the end of the post.
I know a lot of the below are reposted images but I didn’t take many of the process this time.
So the idea for the squad I’m making here is to model it after Wild Weasels, a type of unit from the Vietnam War originally if memory serves. Basically, their job is to fly around trying to get shot at so other forces can blow up their AA site. The Wild Weasels themselves are going to be represented by a GM Spartan and another yet-to-be-decided suit. Maybe a Ground Gundam. The actual team that dives in and takes out the enemy is going to be represented by a GM Night Seeker II (the one you see here) and two GM Night Seeker II customs. One kit bashed with a GM Sniper Custom (the missile pod variant) and another with a GM Guard Custom. So a Nightseeker with it’s back pack replaced by the GM Sniper one, probably the arms too? Definitely the beam sniper itself as well. And the other will get the GM Sniper’s legs, along with the Guard’s shield. The legs have a lot of extra thrusters on them.
These configurations specifically are meant to represent all the extra thrust these units will need to be able to deploy and exfiltrate safely with the Guard’s giant shield and Sniper’s missile pod respectively.
Also if you’re wondering what the masking tape with a dot means, it just means I have waterslide decals I bought separately in the boxes.
Writing this weeks dnd session right now. Can’t decide if I want to physically harm my players or just emotionally.
godddddd this is so hot…… Gem’s just constantly misusing her robotgirl and never tuning her up…… Girl’s always got her losing function one way or another
The Pontiac Banshee XP-833 was designed under John DeLorean, who had moved to General Motors in 1956, to serve as a lightweight “Mustang fighter”. The coupé was powered by a 230ci OHC straight six. There was also a V8 convertible version. Despite being approved for 1966 production, GM executives cancelled the project, fearing it would cannibalise sales of the Chevrolet Corvette.
thinking about transhet ways again… mikey is so ignorant of sex ed that gee tells him she can’t get him pregnant because they’re siblings, obviously. she cums inside him all the time and can’t wait till she knocks him up. better to ask forgiveness than permission, as they say
