I'm alive! This was a Seed Part Challenge build done at Brickslopes 2015. We had an hour and a half to use our seed part, the blue 1x2x3 slopes, in any build of our choice. Thanks to some parts I brought, and lucky golden greeble picks in drafts the day before, I was able to win the competition.It's supposed to be a steampunk starfighter based off of a globe on a stand.
On another note, I am back for good. I am launching a YouTube channel for my builds, and will be posting at least once every couple weeks. I have a backlog of builds to post, so get hyped. I'm glad to be back, and to be a part of such an incredible community of builders, you guys are what keep me motivated to build. :)
Ammotragus lervia
El arruí, arrui, muflón del Atlas o carnero de berbería (Ammotragus lervia) es un bóvido de la subfamilia Caprinae nativo de las zonas rocosas del Sáhara y el Magreb, del género monotípico Ammotragus. Comienza a abundar en fincas privadas de caza, en donde es más difícil enumerar su presencia. Los nombres arruí y aoudad, como se le conoce en varias lenguas europeas, proceden del idioma bereber. También está presente en reservas y cotos de caza de México, Sur de Estados Unidos, Región de Murcia, Comunidad Valenciana en las sierras más altas de la Marina Baja de Alicante, área de Jijona (comarca del Campo de Alicante), zonas serranas del Hoya de Alcoy y el Condado de Cocentaina, y sierra del Cid (cercana a Petrel). Posiblemente está población proviene de animales huidos de vallados cinegéticos.2 En Andalucía hay poblaciones introducidas de arruí en las Sierra de María-Los Vélez (Almería), y en la sierra de Orce (Granada).3 Se introdujeron (en 1972) también en la zona norte de La Palma.
"The light of our new sun scattered through the hallways, ever changing like a kaleidoscope with the rotation of our generation ship. Command had issued all settlers to ready up as we approached the planet they named Atlas: the world-carrier.
My family was among those who had signed up to colonize the new world and extract what good it had to offer. The maneuver was a one off. We only had one shot to get all the necessities down to the planet while the generation ship would use its gravitational pull to sling onwards in space.
A vanguard party had been dispatched years before we entered Atlas' orbit to prepare the landing site for our arrival and given green light for the settlers nine months before the day we were to set foot onto the soil of our new home. There were approximately thirty thousand people to mount landing craft on the day and as we felt the dropship detach from the mothership, every single soul on board knew that our generations-long voyage had found its end."
Proud and relieved to finally introduce you to ATLAS, a collaboration hosted in The Workshop, that went up and down many mountains until I decided to do all parts myself.
It was a learning experience, certainly for me, and while not as originally envisioned, it was successfully completed in the end and I want to thank the tagged folks for their input and their presence that kept me going to the finish line.
This scene, and all to follow in this series, was captured entirely in camera. Screen background with complementary light on the left; background build on a bent 48x48 baseplate to give the sense of the curve of the inside cylinder of the generation ship; front layer built flat; bitlights spread across the brickbuilt elements.

As we left the mountains behind on our way to Marrakesh, we made an interesting stop to Atlas Studios. A film studio located west of the city of Ouarzazate, it is the world's largest film studio measured by acreage.
Interestingly enough, while flying home, a documentary about Cleopatra was showing on the plane--and guess where it was filmed!!? It was very cool to watch it, remembering the feelings as we moved through those same spaces.
Some of the more notable movies filmed here:
The Jewel of the Nile
Prince of Persia
Indian Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Black Hawk Down
Queen Cleopatra (Netflix)
The Passion of Christ
The Living Daylights
Aladdin (2019 film)
The Mummy
Gladiator
Kingdom of Heaven
Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra
Babel

This moth has wings 25-30cm across. i think this one was a little bigger
So get your tape measure out and have a look

"The main purpose of our colony on Atlas was to harvest its novel resources on behalf of the confederation our mothership was a part of. Novel alloys and gasses hidden low beneath the surface in particular had attracted the confed's attention since their discovery by probe missions decades ago. Atlas was a small exotic world. Tidally locked to its host star, it was home to two climatic extremes: Scorching deserts on the star-facing side and eternal freezing night on that which never saw the light of day. The transition between the two was where the vanguard awaited us. The atmosphere was thin and my young self would stand in awe when solar winds and debris from space occasionally lit what looked like fires in the sky, but it was enough to shield our new home from the quirks of the universe. The snow that fell on the night-side melted, the closer to the habitable ring it was and rivers parted the vibrant landscape, fading as they approached the desert where the water evaporated. The soil of The Ring, as we called the twilight zone, was almost black and the flora that grew on this dark earth was host to colors I had never seen in my life. Towards the sun-side, the black earth turned into red and brown dust and sand, while on the night-side, all one could possibly make out in the dark was ice and snow glittering in the eternal starry night."
Part II of ATLAS, a collaboration hosted in The Workshop.
This scene, like all in this series, was captured entirely in camera. Screen background with complementary light on the left; brickbuilt foreground.
"When the deposits close to the surface were mostly depleted, Command shifted focus towars deeper-laying veins of resources that were increasingly difficult to access. Drones were used to cut shafts down to a selection of underground ore clusters and equipped with chemicals to etch out the bores to fit our harvesters. Slowly but steadily, the surface of Atlas became speckled with holes close hundreds of meters in diameter. Despite rising concerns of destabilising the already brittle ground of the sun- and melting the soil on the night-side, harvesters were refitted for underground operation and personnel moved down into the hellholes, myself included. Many wouldn't see the surface again.
Inevitably, sooner or later something had to go gravely wrong. In the process of cutting a tunnel, operators hit a gas vein lighting up the whole deposit with a blinding flash illuminating the freezing night, while the shockwave dug its way through the surface and the escaping gasses, set off by the pressure, burnt Atlas to a crisp. It wasn't until after I woke up barely breathing, that I realised that what life was left for me was going to be a lot different."

Let me know what you think!
And lastly, thanks again to the tagged folks for being part of this project. It was quite a journey.
"Here is a lucky little boy who narrowly escaped tragedy. He was rescued from a home after the husband in a drunken fit kicked the kitten against a wall and badly injured him. He was rushed by a TCR volunteer to the vet where he stayed under observation for many days. Luckily nothing was broken and he rebounded from his terrible start at life to become a totally sweet, loving kitten. He is so happy to be held and loves to play. He purrs instantly and seeks out human attention. Help him find a home."
I've never read the book and I've never seen the movie, but the cover on one of the numerous editions of Atlas Shrugged was the first time I'd seen an image of atlas kneeling instead of standing.
To be honest the only image of Atlas I have any memory of is the statue in Rockefeller Center.
The build is really stable (when in a kneeling position) and Altas can hold up the world all by himself with no help of any kind. Even with the hinged "back" after a week of sitting on my shelf it did not droop from it's current position which did surprise me.
This is the final color scheme, and may be a little odd but it was more interesting than Atlas being entirely white.
Some of my friends are calling this build Transformer Altas, which is not entirely inappropriate because of the colors and parts usage. I did my best to add some of the major muscle groups with the parts I have.

I've only vague information for this: there was an Atlas Brickworks at Bathgate (Armadale) in Scotland - West Lothian, midway between Edinburgh and Glasgow. It existed between, roughly, the early/mid 1880s to the early/mid 1970s and may have continued elsewhere. Atlas bricks may have been exported as far afield as Australia and Canada. This brick has a very shapely 'frog'.

The Atlas moth is one of the largest lepidopterans with a wingspan measuring between 25–30 cm (9.8–11.8 in). The atlas moth has no mouth, every flight takes valuable energy and can take days off their already short lives, as it has a very short life span of only one to two weeks. They conserve energy by flying as little as possible. Their habitat is primarily dry tropical forests, secondary forests, and shrublands across South Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia, including Borneo.
