I'm more interested in military technology than usual girls 
I'm mostly interested in helicopters and guns but on place 3 it is navy stuff all around the world and cybernetics I am most interested in
I'm a person who knows much stuff from here and from there. I don't know why I'm so interested in navy ships but those really impress me and I poked my mother all the journey to go to the navy yard when we will arive boston. My mother was there once and she prefered to do something new so I had to use the whole 5 weeks before we arrived Boston to get her to go there to the boston navy yard.
Once in school I heard boys talking about a gun they found on the roof of the grandpa and they talked about what it might be. They talked such a bullshit (and talked about what the weapon looked like) and thought they were so cool that I couldn't hold on and turned to them and said: Hey if it is found on the roof of your grandpa it is most possible that it is a Mauser. It might be left from the second world war, most of the people hid their uniforms and weapons when the americans arrived. AND I'M PRETTY SURE THAT EVEN IT IS NOT A MAUSER it will not shot with shutgon shells (I listened to the description of the weapon). Next day the girls and even most of the boys of the class stayed away from me because I was wearing a long black coat all the winter and now they heard what I said the day before and thought I could be a crazed gunwoman -.-
Another man years later was really pissed because I had questions to technical details of a special helicopter he was talking of (he was a role play game master and it was a fictional helicopter - so he could have said that he does not have any idea of technical details, no problem) and because girls should not have more knowledge of technical stuff than men he tried to cut me short and I did not realized that and then he got really angry
So I'm a strange girl with very bad english (I apologize) that is interested in military stuff but has no idea of technical details allthough I once tried to learn it but I failed
I was just looking at the details of the Cassin Young because I was there and I want to know what I'm talking of when I talk about my journey.

that's neat, did you get to see the frigate Constitution? she's the oldest in-commission warship in the world. there were plans to bring the retired aircraft carrier USS John F Kennedy there as a museum, but it doesn't seem to have gone anywhere, and she's still at the inactive ships yard at Philadelphia. I've been aboard two retired carriers, the USS Hornet museum in Alameda/San Francisco, and the USS Midway museum in San Diego (a slightly more impressive museum, as it faces the active Navy yard so you can see active duty Nimitz class carriers sitting on the other side of the harbor). I also visited the USS Iowa battleship museum at San Pedro/Los Angeles
you're probably right about grandpa's weapon. the bolt-action Kar98K is still popular as a hunting rifle, the 7.92x57 round is still manufactured in both Europa and America, but certainly it is no shotgun. now if he had a Sturmgewehr 44 in his attic, I'd be impressed! 
I've met both ends of the spectrum, from the male chauvinists who pooh-pooh women's knowledge about weaponry (and there are women who encourage such behavior 
you're not a strange girl!

Ah that's cool!
I have three own RPG worlds and one is a sci-fi version of my fantasy Astara. My boyfriend does the most technical stuff about that world with a 3D-Program. If you are interested to browse through you can have a look here #M-Tec-Age

Oh I don't think that you did plagiarizing something ^^ I learned that whatever you imagine someone was thinking of it before you did. To me this happens all the time. I had blood elves and night elves for now more than 12 years.... and now everyone is telling me that I have stolen it from WOW... -.- I hate this.
I'm really happy you like it ^^
It's a high sci-fi world, so Ashock is a city like the one in the movie Priest [link] that you can see in the beginning of the movie where the main character lives. It's dark because of the industry there and it is very dirty. It's like the city of Judge Dredd just more dark and dirty. The blimp is a huge technical invention and blimp is maybe the wrong word. I've googled and found the word "semi-rigid airship".
I'm really glad you like it. *NikitaTarsov put in such a lot of time just for me
I wish I could read english stories -.- But my english is too bad.

yeesh, I can imagine...one of my countries is named Blackstone, it's been around since I created it in the mid-1980s. if Wizards of the Coast suddenly announced their newest D&D gaming world, and it's called "Blackstone", and some kid reads my stories and says "hey you ripped off Blackstone"
I like the pics, it reminds me of the Harkonnen homeworld in the movie Dune, with even more factories and a cathedral. I like that dark city image...back when I was a kid, I had a fantasy art book that had a painting of the fictional city of Gormenghast, and that crowded city was built in overlapping rings that went up nearly vertically like Minas Tirith, but the bone-white walls and black windows made it look much more spooky and gothic (and bigger). it inspired me to design my Blackstone city as being built on a flat-topped mountain with very high black walls, gritty and...sinister, yes. not a good-aligned city of holy light, but not thoroughly evil like Zhentil Keep from the Forgotten Realms
I think the word you're looking for is dirigible, a Zeppelin, because it looks like it has a skeleton for the gas part. a blimp has no skeleton, so it would deflate flat. yes, it looks like he put a lot of effort in it, the detail work is just beautiful

I love the photo, it looks fantastic, but I think the frame draws attention away from the ship. Could you upload a version without the frame?

I had one uploaded, but noone was looking at it LOL
