Looks like the owner designed their own bed and hauling bin to this existing old Chey truck!
Happy Truck Thursday!

Pretty amazing idea to build this park on 50 acres of unused utility land and transform it into a recreation wetlands open to the public! Here a resident Great Blue Heron is enjoying some relaxation time.

Thank you to Kitty Von Cat for the use of her sweet build!
Camp Steelhead is at it again! Another amazing build and as everything that comes from Steelhead, these textures are amazing. The "Bayou Boathouse" comes in 3 color options including weathered, condemned and near new, as show above. Set also includes a gangway (with matching textures for each listed above) and mechanics add on with adult and PG animations. And as always, everything from Steelhead is copy/mod.
All of the above is available right now as an exclusive ,only at this month's Uber Event open now thru November 22nd.

Clambering men in big bad boots
Dug up my den, dug up my roots.
Treated us like plasticine town
They built us up and knocked us down.
From Meccano to Legoland,
Here they come with a brick in their hand,
Men with heads filled up with sand,
Let's build.

So for anyone who hasn't heard yet MELO 2017 is happening at the end of this month! :D
I'm pretty excited because I wasn't able to enter any of the previous Middle Earth Lego Olympics. So I decided I would do a bit of practice and make a really small little build. Might make some more at some point before the contest.
Part of the reason I made this was to try getting better at building, so if any of you want I'm looking for comments about what I could improve and what I did well. (Not just "Nice build" comments).
I'm also curious to know who else is entering MELO this year? :)
This is the Chain Reaction RVR-05, a custom LEGO spacecraft.
There’s a construction video on YouTube covering the complete build process.
The model was inspired by the Thunder Force game series. It’s a new evolution playing with design style from the Thunder Force official “RVR” line-up and a lovely RVR-03 concept by Sparrow S.A.
It comprises 2110 parts without the stand. All elements are from LEGO. Some shiny bits were chromed. I individually tinted the 21 trans-clear parts making up the canopy because I wanted a green.
68 of these elements are the new-for-2025 "plate 1x1 round with bottom clip" (ID 5264). The part is a revelation! It unlocked tight angles in the tail, a new engine design, off-grid placement of facets, and more.
Additional photos for Chain Reaction are at galacticplastics.com. In the future I hope to share a cleaned-up digital model file and parts inventory covering the ship and stand.
I just like this house set against a blue sky. It's a new build in Burns beach area. Overlooking the sea. Perth, Western Australia
In recent times, people tend to discard faulty items rather than mend and fix. Quite a lot has changed during this pandemic. I know many people, myself included, that picked up a brush and started painting. Not on canvas, but on walls, skirting boards and bannisters. People learned how to fix bikes and mend other households items. There are other things that still need to be tweaked. From public procurement to economic inequalities in different parts of the world and let us not forget environmental issues, such as air and water pollution, ozone depletion, and biodiversity loss. Fixing those is not an easy task.
Other things, such as architectural ruins, rusty boats or decayed bridges, are beautiful and just await to be photographed, like this building which has never been completed. There is something infinitely compelling in objects that have seen better days, items that are rusty or have fallen into disrepair. I see it as a destructive sublime, and always wonder about the history of such items. Photographing ruins has become a popular genre, and I can understand why as one can capture the impossibility of holding back time, where photographing such objects can speculate on other states of existence. It can also indicate on our own physical fragility.
To me, it is all about fixing a moment in time.
The Brighton Eye
Brighton used to have a Brighton Eye the same as this one but it had to go when Brighton and Hove City Council agreed a deal with British Airways to build the i360 on the site of the old West Pier. The attraction cost £46 million, with £36 million being funded by a Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) loan through B&H City Council.
Formerly known as the "Brighton i360", the project aimed to attract up to 800,000 paying customers every year. The owner of the site, the West Pier Trust, hoped in 2014 that a successful i360 would lead to the rebuilding of the historic West Pier.
In June 2018, disappointing visitor numbers forced the owners to ask B&H City Council and the LEP for better loan repayment terms. The local paper reported that "in the first full year, from August 2016, the i360 had just over 500,000 visitors, significantly fewer than the 800,000 predicted." The shortfall in visitors was blamed on “poor weather and the unreliable train service to and from London”.
The i360 made a loss of more than £5 million last year, the latest financial reports have revealed. B&H City Council are now owed almost £48 million as the attraction suffered another successive year in the red.
This is a trend apparently and I figured why not?
But yeesh, I gotta build more! This is more or less a collection of everything I've built for the past year, specifically the things I think are worth showing again. Largely, this is my Forms of Gotham collection, which has rather put me off building brick figures for a while honestly...all that said, the experience of building them and seeing people's reactions towards them at Brickworld Chicago were worth all the tens of hours I spend on them.
And All the Powers of Hell was another highlight, although to be honest it did fall to the back of my mind--despite winning the Vignette award I've been hunting for years. Still, it has a place in my heart and as such is still constructed and boxed away for BW '17. Aside from the figures Batman, Catwoman, and Penguin, its the only thing that remains of my '16 Convention tour builds.
My Alien and Predators builds are something I'm proud of, even though they totally point out how I can change focus on a dime whenever anyone mentions Predators or posts a Xenomorph. To wit, I've been secretly hive building for the past half year; building another queen, gathering eggs, makin' drones, hunting down those elusive black minifigure binoculars, all for the inevitable time when I'll need them. At the moment I'm planning on building Alien something for BW '17, although that might just be the amazing Covenant trailer speaking! So no promises yet!
Before I get into the future, I first want to note the wonderful experiences I had this year with my friends at Eurobricks, both online and especially in person, as we constructed our group collab for Brickworld, Ready Set Escargot!. We put tons of hours into a truly collaborative effort and finally getting the win was icing on the cake. As we look forward to next year's build, I hope that we can continue that awesome tradition! Incidentally, I don't have any pictures of my Snail, but I made the sand blue viking one, if anyone is wondering.
---
Onto the future, one of the reasons I've not appeared to be building much (specifically in the later half) of 2016, is because I'm building for 2017! Right now I'm finishing some colorful magazine builds, but I've also locked down my convention layout concept for next year, one that'll use a lot of colors I normally wouldn't touch with a ten foot poll-- yellow, red, and orange. Brick figures will be minimal, at least until 2018, and I'm also planning two separate series of builds of the superhero variety. Either way, I can't wait to get started!
And finally, thank you to everyone for your support!
Photographing landscapes around sunrise and sunset is often filled with anticipation. Wondering whether the light will be "epic" or will you get skunked.
Join me in Palouse June 13-16 and we'll chase light and find scenes like this! Link: jimpatterson.photo/palouse
These little brown spiders are often found walking on the outside walls of our homes in Christchurch and in many other places around New Zealand. Like many jumping spiders, they build cocoon-like nests out of silk which they use for egg laying and as retreats, and this species often builds nests in the nooks and crannies around our homes.

At the southern end of the Earth, a NASA plane carrying a team of scientists and a sophisticated instrument suite to study ice is returning to surveying Antarctica. For the past eight years, Operation IceBridge has been on a mission to build a record of how polar ice is evolving in a changing environment.
The information IceBridge has gathered in the Antarctic, which includes data on the thickness and shape of snow and ice, as well as the topography of the land and ocean floor beneath the ocean and the ice, has allowed scientists to determine that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may be in irreversible decline. Researchers have also used IceBridge data to evaluate climate models of Antarctica and map the bedrock underneath Antarctic ice.

Another build that I was gonna upload before Droneuary ended, but entering the Brickarm's contest pushed it back. Hope you guys like it, inspired by Bezor as always. Expect some new builds soon.
Aussi petite qu'un moineau, bleu cendré aux parties supérieures, roux orangé pour le dessous, un fin trait noirâtre soulignant l'œil, elle parcourt les troncs d'arbres et les branches dans un sens ou dans l'autre, tête à l'envers ou à l'endroit, suspendue grâce aux longues griffes de ses pattes.
L'arbre est son domaine et les descentes au sol sont rares. La femelle construit son nid dans une cavité de tronc ou de branche, souvent dans une ancienne loge de pic.
Une artisane de la nidification
Justifiant son qualificatif de torchepot, la sittelle utilise de la boue argileuse afin de rétrécir artistiquement l'entrée à sa mesure, c'est-à-dire jusqu'à ce que l'orifice lui laisse tout juste le passage. L'intérieur est ensuite abondamment garni de copeaux d'écorces et de feuilles sèches sur lesquels les œufs reposeront en toute sécurité. Mâle et femelle barbouillent également l'entrée de résine, peut-être pour éloigner les indésirables, prédateurs ou compétiteurs. Le couple évite de se maculer de résine en plongeant directement à travers le trou pour entrer dans le nid.
Autre particularité de l'espèce : la sittelle insère des graines de toutes sortes dans les crevasses d'écorces, peut-être en prévision des jours de disette, certainement aussi pour pouvoir les briser plus facilement. Maintenues dans la crevasse comme dans un étau, les dures coquilles ne peuvent plus échapper aux coups de bec. La sitelle déploie une activité si débordante qu'elle récolte bien souvent plus qu'elle ne peut consommer !
*****************************************************************
As small as a sparrow, ashy blue with the upper parts, orange red for the under, a thin black line underlining the eye, it traverses the tree trunks and the branches in one direction or the other, head to the back or up, suspended thanks to the long claws of her paws.
The tree is his domain and the descents on the ground are rare. The female builds her nest in a trunk or branch cavity, often in an old log lodge.
A nesting craftswoman
Justifying its name torchpot, the nuthatch uses clay mud to artistically narrow the entrance to its measure, that is to say until the hole just leaves the passage. The interior is then abundantly filled with chips of bark and dry leaves on which eggs will rest safely. Male and female also smear the resin entrance, perhaps to ward off unwanted, predatory or competitive. The couple avoids spotting resin by dipping directly through the hole to enter the nest.
Another peculiarity of the species: the nuthatch inserts seeds of all kinds in the crevices of bark, perhaps in anticipation of days of famine, certainly also to be able to break them more easily. Maintained in the crevice as in a vise, the hard shells can not escape pecks. The sitelle deploys an activity so overflowing that it harvests often more than it can consume!
I was taking photos of the Boston skyline when I rotated my camera to this Arlington hillside. That's a famous watertower, build to mimic a Doric temple in Greece.
