Teasing is over, here is the real thing. Inside the box, a semi-illuminated street with a strange scene going on.
These photos are'nt so great, but this creation means a lot to me, so please visit this page for more pix, different views and construction details :))
Made for a local convention this last week-end, and more coming up hopefully!
Feel free to tell me what you think, good or bad, or anything in between!
cheers y'all :D
I rearranged the hall closet today but just had to snap a photo of all the Pullip boxes I've accumulated over the years. Me thinks I might have too many boxes...
Close, careful encounter with an eastern box turtle, a vulnerable species.

This photo, suggestive of an old-fashioned lift cage, in fact shows inside a much smaller enclosure: one of the electrode housing boxes that will fly on ESA’s LISA Pathfinder mission, planned for launch later this year. The inside of the box measures 5.5 cm on each side.
LISA Pathfinder is a technology demonstrator that will pave the way for future space-based observatories measuring gravitational waves – ripples in the fabric of space-time that are predicted by Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Produced by massive accelerating bodies, these perturbations are expected to be abundant across the Universe, but they are yet to be detected directly.
Although not aiming at detecting gravitational waves, LISA Pathfinder will test the technologies that could be used for this daunting endeavour. In particular, the mission’s goal is to achieve the best free-fall ever, reducing all the non-gravitational forces acting on two test masses and controlling any residual effect with unprecedented accuracy.
LISA Pathfinder's test masses are two identical cubes of solid gold–platinum alloy, measuring 4.6 cm on a side and almost 2 kg each. Once in space, they will have no mechanical contact with their immediate environment. Each cube is surrounded by an ‘electrode housing’, its walls lying several millimetres from the cube on all six sides.
The boxes will track the positions of the test masses and apply tiny adjustments if needed. The housings are part of highly sophisticated equipment that includes a laser metrology system and several microthrusters to apply small shifts to the spacecraft’s position to keep it centred on the masses.
In fact, achieving a near-perfect gravitational free fall is very complex even in space, as forces other than gravity will disturb the motion of the cubes, including pressure from sunlight and particles from the solar wind.
The data collected by LISA Pathfinder will reveal all the spurious effects that can affect the purely gravitational motion of two test masses in space. In a full-scale gravitational wave observatory, the test masses would be contained in individual spacecraft separated by a million kilometres. Knowledge of all the non-gravitational forces acting on them will be needed to calibrate and optimise such a future experiment, enabling the detection of possible variations in the position of the test masses caused by a passing gravitational wave.

Here are the three most common cockpit box designs or techniques I use. As can be seen, they yield quite a variety of shapes.
Well, some do.
This is by no means exhaustive, as some designs (like the Vic Vipers) use more brackets, or a combination of Cockpit 2 and brackets.
As I sat waiting for the mountain bluebirds to return to their nesting box my shutter finger got itchy to take some pics... so I decided to play with an HDR shot...

It looks just like deluxe chocolate box albeit being crooked and wonky! One of the ceilings in the National Museum, Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania. I highly recommend this for those who are interested in grandeur historic interior decorations.

They say the eye is the Window of the soul. Here it's a reflection of a Woman with a camera :)
hace tiempo que querÃa trabajar con este antiguo vehÃculo, otorgándole un nuevo aspecto pero conservando elementos del original sumado algunos elementos para que luciera mas mecanico que el original.
Isn't it beautiful in Summer, to see houses, walls, windows and facades, decorated and cheered up with flowers.
Some people just do not have a garden, what a brilliant solution, for all of us!
Do we even think about that now or is it just another given?
It suddenly dawned on me.
I think there is a trend though, to also have autumn and winter plants and fun.
Oh please, ANYTHING to make our moods brighter, lol.
Thank you, M, (*_*)

The Florida box turtle has a narrow and highly domed shell. Its carapace has a distinct pattern of yellow stripes that make it easily identifiable. This turtle has sharp claws as well as a sharp beak used for catching small insects and eating fruits, vegetables, and fungi.
The Common Box Turtle isn't as common today as it once was. This species is terrestrial. Habitat loss and fragmentation has resulted in it being considered a species of concern in Ohio. Many have been killed by vehicles while crossing roadways. Decades ago I might see two dozen of these turtles in a single day. Now I'm lucky if I see one every year or two.
It's time for another round of "What's in the box?"
This is a special delivery for my main man Ricky J
If you haven't visited his store, well, it's awesome, he has all your lego needs covered, and some delicious new greeting cards too. And yes, the model is for him too, I assume it'll be on display in the shop too, just one more reason to visit. So go visit him, and buy all the awesome greeting cards :D
