The helmet was fashioned in southern Germany circa [1540](https://bit.ly/2kdFNLr), and is unusual because it is one of the few surviving helmets adorned with a crown.

It was purchased in [Augsburg](https://bit.ly/2MwwuQc) on the King's behalf by his agent, the merchant Claus Heijder. The helmet was likely used in [Gustav Vasa's](https://bit.ly/2k10R7K) funeral procession in 1560, because a helmet adorned with a gilded crown is mentioned by a contemporary who witnessed the ceremony. The gilded crown is medieval in style – a suitable symbol of Gustav Vasa, who had one foot in the old union and one in the newly minted [hereditary monarchy](https://bit.ly/2kdG7tD).

i made the name long so someone else can name their model usadapekora or something like that.

so the other day i felt like doing something unusual, and saw this awesome model with 256 faces on it(not couting the carrots in the bg), so that inspired me , and since I was watching pekora at the moment I decided to do a pekora model, pekora pretty cute, so I made a poll on my twitter about what to do with this model, and frens voted for a free download so here we go

this model was really dificult, trying not to go over 256 faces has been a hard challenge, also decided to texture it with  a 256x256 texture to go with the face count, well thats about it, you can download and do whatever u want with it~~  show the model to pekora~~

My attempt at making something close to OceanGate Titan Submersible, which was tragically lost after it went missing on the 18th June 2023. The US Coast Guard's findings explained that it had imploded and the crew had been instantly killed. The Titan was doomed from the beginning, with unusual practise during its construction and made with crude materials. The Titan was an experimental submersible, and was not officially certified. 

A doomed submersible from the very beginning of its existence. May the crew rest in peace.

With an exclusive naturally aspirated engine and race car-inspired components, the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 is optimized for driver engagement and track-day glory. Porsche enhances its most visceral 911 variant with a control-arm front suspension—the first on a 911 road car—and an unusual rear wing that's mounted at the top instead of the bottom. The GT3 is also the only 911 that's not turbocharged, and the responsive nature and immersive sounds of its 502-hp 4.0-liter flat-six qualify as inspirational. The specialness of the rear-mounted mill is further realized by the telepathic seven-speed PDK automatic transmission or the rewarding six-speed manual. Thanks to a unique suspension setup and track-focused tire options, the 2022 911 GT3 has a surprisingly supple, albeit firm, ride and incredible steering feel that are just a few of the reasons it's so exhilarating to drive. They also help it make our 2022 Editors' Choice list.

The giant isopod (*Bathynomus giganteus*) is a species of aquatic crustacean and a cousin to terrestrial "pill bugs" or "roly polies" that are commonly found under logs. These animals are found in cold waters with a depth between 310 to 2140 meters (1,020–7,020 ft) in the West Atlantic, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. The unusually large size of these isopods has been attributed to an effect called deep-sea gigantism, where invertebrates living in cold deep waters tend to grow larger and have longer lifespans (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_isopod).

Seated Buddha preaching. Unusually for this hand gesture, the Buddha wears the over-robe on both shoulders with a thick curved neckline, an edge lying below the right forearm, the semi-circle between the legs rather deep and the fall of gathered drapery from the left wrist, where the backthrow may be visible, undulating in high relief to lie splayed and almost flat on the seat.

The wreck is unusually well preserved for a ship built with clinker technique It was found in Stockholm archepelago by Niklas Ekström. It´s app 20 m long and 7,8 m wide. It also has its cargo still in place. There are a little over 30 barrels visible, mostly containing so called osmund iron. Barrels with tar, ash and butter is also found in the hold. The date of the ship is based on dendro. It date´s the wreck to 1540´s (provenance Stockholm) and has been repaired in the 1550´s (provenance, south of Finland). All dated timbers are pine.
The wreck has three masts and all it’s the rigging seems to be intact at the site. Blocs, deadeyes and the bowsprit i visible at the wreck site. Personal belongings, copper pot in the stove and som fabrics are also visible. 
Iron exports was then, and still is, one of Sweden’s most important exports but the knowledge of historic cargo ships, the trade routes and the quality of the iron is almost unknown. This wreck will be surveyd together with Jernkontoret 2021 and forward.

The Osmund wreck

The wreck was found by Arkeologikonsult and is located in the city center of Stockholm. In Kungsträdgården. SMTM has helped with the documentation. Its a carvel built ship and has been dated to the late 1590´s. It has most likely been identified as Samson which was built in 1599 in Hälsingland. The ship was an hybrid and build as a cargoship but with 10-20 guns for the Navy. Some features on in the construction on the wreck are unusual but can be seen on the wrecks of Elefanten (1554) and Mars (1563).

The ancient Lycians are among the most enigmatic people of antiquity because little historical record has been left behind them. But what has been discovered reveals a fascinating people culturally distinct from the rest of the ancient world at the time. Around twenty major sites remain today with the Lycians' unusual funerary architecture, including incredible rock-cut tombs carved into cliff faces dominating the breathtaking unspoiled land of Lycia.

In fairy folklore, Queen Mab was the tiny fairy who visited people when they were asleep, fulfilling their wishes via their dreams. Perhaps the owners of this little yacht were fulfilling a dream of their own when they commissioned a half scale, 6-metre yacht!

Queen Mab’s unusual size has made it an object of interest, with historians suggesting that it was a prototype of the 6-metre yachts which became famous as racing vessels in the 20th century.

The presence of a wheatsheaf carving on the bow also led some to believe that it might have been built by renowned yacht builders William Fife & Son, but modern sources disagree. The real identity of the builder is a mystery, but Mab’s unusual toy-like size continues to fascinate and intrigue.

This simple table comes from Shanxi, china, circa 1880 and still has its original dark wood lacquer finish and more recently added, although still very old unusual hardware.

Its tapered legs and 'horse hoof' feet add charm and elegance to this small console table.

With two useful small drawers, this was probably once used as a small desk but would look great today as a dressing table or as a console table in a hallway or reception room.

Mexican Hat is a census-designated place on the San Juan River on the northern edge of the Navajo Nations borders in south-central San Juan County, Utah, United States.

The name "Mexican Hat" comes from a curiously sombrero-shaped rock outcropping on the northeast edge of town; the rock measures 60-foot (18 m) wide by 12-foot (3.7 m). The "Hat"' has two rock climbing routes ascending it. It has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names.

Fully Textured and rigged Pearlscale goldfish model.

This breed of goldfish is known for its protrusion of their scales forming a pearl like shape and coloring.  They come in all shapes and forms but the models here are of the Pingpong Pearl goldfish from Southeast Asia.  They are the most popular amongst the pearlscales for their unusually round shape, kinda like a puffer fish.

I usually try to pick a dynamic pose as a thumbnail for SF.  But with their extreme chubbiness, no matter how hard I tried, they weren't achieving any dynamicness.  So instead I added one more with different color and animation variation.  Now people can get two for the price of one!  (jk, they are free downloads).

What makes the 1973 Corvette Stingray unusual among Corvettes is a unique bumper design that came about due to changes in government crash safety regulations. Previous C3s featured chrome bumpers front and rear, but the front bumper on the 1973 model was changed to an 8-kilometre-per-hour unit fitted with a molded urethane bumper cover, while the rear remained a two-piece split design which would also be replaced with a polyurethane unit the following year.

🪐 Haumea – Dwarf Planet 3D Model

This Haumea – Dwarf Planet 3D Model represents one of the most unique dwarf planets in the solar system, known for its elongated, fast-spinning shape and bright icy surface. Unlike most spherical celestial bodies, Haumea’s extreme rotation has stretched it into an oval, football-like form, giving it a distinct and instantly recognizable silhouette.

Located in the Kuiper Belt, Haumea is covered in reflective ice and frozen materials, giving it a pale, luminous appearance when illuminated. This model captures that cold, distant nature through its smooth yet irregular form, subtle surface variation, and clean, icy tones. Its unusual shape and bright surface make it stand out strongly among traditional planetary models.

Whether used as a background object or a main focal point, this model adds visual uniqueness, scientific interest, and cosmic variety to any space-themed environment.

Iapetus – Two-Tone Surface Study

This model represents Iapetus, one of Saturn’s major moons, known for its striking two-tone appearance. One hemisphere is covered by Cassini Regio, a dark, carbon-rich region that contrasts sharply with the moon’s brighter, ice-dominated terrain on the opposite side.

The surface is depicted with subtle irregularities and gentle relief, emphasizing large-scale form rather than fine detail. The dramatic contrast between the dark and light regions is the defining feature of Iapetus and is believed to result from thermal processes and material redistribution over time.

This visualization focuses on clarity, lighting, and contrast to highlight Iapetus’s unique appearance. The model is optimized for real-time viewing and is intended as a stylized yet scientifically grounded representation of this unusual Saturnian moon.

**Triceratops ignifrons: A Landmark Ceratopsid Discovery in Alberta**

In 2022, paleontologist Dr. Miriam Solano uncovered a striking ceratopsid specimen in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation of Alberta, Canada. Named *Triceratops ignifrons*—“Fire-Frilled Three-Horned Face”—this quadrupedal herbivore measured over 9 meters in length and featured an unusually elaborate frill with spiked margins and preserved pigment structures.

Spectroscopic analysis revealed traces of structural coloration, suggesting vivid blue, orange, and red hues across its frill and flanks. This challenges prior assumptions that ceratopsids relied solely on size and horn morphology for display. The discovery of *T. ignifrons* provides compelling evidence for visual signaling in herbivorous dinosaurs and deepens our understanding of social behavior and predator deterrence in Late Cretaceous ecosystems.

Clomantagh Church ruin was recently tidied up and the walls repointed thanks to a grant from the Heritage Council, and the difference really shows. The church has a double bellcote at the west gable, a now partly blocked-up doorway in the south wall and a better preserved doorway in the north wall. The east gable features two lancet windows of which most carved stones no longer survive in situ. The south and north walls have two smaller windows each towards the east end of the church. The walls have an unusual amount of quite large putlog holes, some of which are now used by birds as nesting boxes. A few architectural fragments from the church can still be found in the graveyard and adjoining field.

It was quite a windy day, and I wasn't too comfortable with having the drone up too high, so the tops of the gable walls aren't great, but it still gives a general idea of the architecture and state of the building.

One of four medieval cross slabs surviving in Ballycallan (St Brigid's) Graveyard. It dates to the 13th or 14th century. It is the lower portion of an incised cross, now sticking out of the ground upside down. It does not seem to be tapering and I'd say, it might have been wider once, because it seems unusual to just have one bevelled edge.

Not sure exactly which of the four it is, so I will have to assign the SMR numbers by their location on the HEV map.

Ballycallan: Cross slab fragment

One of the best known sites of the Paspardo area. This small Chalcolithic (Copper Age) carving is, unusually, on a small section of a vertical rock face - unusual because it displays a design type that is more typically found on the stelae of this period (third millennium BC).

The panel is known as the Rock of the Five Daggers, although the daggers, in the area above the wavey lines, have unfortunately not resolved themselves in this 3D model (I would have needed a tall set of stepladders to get level with the surface!).  The two halberds (diagnostic of the period) and the deer to their right however, do show quite well.

Mask composed of jade fragments assembled using mosaic technique, forming the face of a supernatural being. It features square eyes, a prominent nose, and a semi-open mouth revealing three conical teeth—an unusual detail that may result from an incorrect restoration. The ears are decorated with shell inlays and square earspools with central perforations. Atop the head rises a trilobed element resembling a diadem, possibly associated with symbols of power or divinity. Traces of hematite are preserved at the joints of the mosaic.
