The Styrum Water Tower was built in 1892/93 by August Thyssen to supply his iron rolling mill.
In 1912, the building became the property of the newly founded RWW Rheinisch-Westfälische Wasserwerksgesellschaft mbH. At this time, the Styrum Waterworks supplied the following companies with approximately five million cubic meters of water per year: AG Phönix for Mining and Metallurgy; Arenbergsche Bergwerksgesellschaft; Gewerkschaft Mathias Stinnes; and Thyssen. Until its decommissioning in 1982, the tower primarily supplied process water, initially to Thyssen and later to Mannesmann. In addition to its function as a water reservoir, the water tower also served as a residence for a long time. At the end of the 1980s, RWW decided to preserve the water tower as an industrial monument and convert it into a museum.
A report by the Lower Monument Authority dated March 13, 1989, states:
"The Styrum Water Tower exhibits architecture modeled on a defensive tower, typical of early industrial architecture. It is a three-story brick building with an octagonal base tapering at the bottom, structured by several horizontal masonry bands and a stepped cornice. Above it rises a cylindrical tower shaft with eight window axes. The tower shaft is divided by horizontal zigzag bands of yellow clinker brick. The pitched roof supports several pointed dormers and a compass rose."
Der Wasserturm Styrum wurde 1892/93 von August Thyssen zur Versorgung seines Eisenwalzwerkes erbaut.
1912 geht das Gebäude in den Besitz der neugegründeten RWW Rheinisch-Westfälische Wasserwerksgesellschaft mbH über. Zu dieser Zeit versorgt das Styrumer Wasserwerk mit circa fünf Millionen Kubikmeter pro Jahr folgende Betriebe: AG Phönix für Bergbau und Hüttenbetrieb; Arenbergsche Bergwerksgesellschaft; Gewerkschaft Mathias Stinnes; Thyssen. Bis zu seiner Stilllegung 1982 lieferte der Turm vorwiegend Betriebswasser, zunächst an Thyssen, später an Mannesmann. Neben seiner Funktion als Wasserspeicher diente der Wasserturm auch lange Zeit als Wohnung. Ende der achtziger Jahre beschloss RWW, den Wasserturm als Industriedenkmal zu erhalten und zum Museum auszubauen.
In einem Gutachten der Unteren Denkmalbehörde vom 13.3.1989 heißt es:
"Der Styrumer Wasserturm läßt eine am Vorbild eines Wehrturms orientierte Architektur erkennen, die typisch für die frühe Industriearchitektur ist. Es handelt sich um einen dreigeschossigen Backsteinbau mit achteckigem, sich unten verjüngendem Sockel, der durch mehrere waagerechte Mauerwerksbänder sowie durch ein abgestuftes Kranzgesims gegliedert wird. Darüber erhebt sich ein Turmschaft in Zylinderform mit acht Fensterachsen. Der Turmschaft ist durch waagerechte Zick-Zack-Bänder in gelbem Klinker aufgeteilt. Das Spitzdach trägt mehrere Spitzgauben und eine Windrose."

Custom built Master Chief HALO minifigure.
I bought this customized armor & helmet from a local supplier in Australia, though he does not leave any info regarding who makes these. Can anyone recognize these pieces & maybe let me know who made this cast?
Anyhow, I built the rest of him, added details & painted it.
Okay so the title was a given. ;-)
Little did I know that the elderly owner of this self-made and very rusty truck was sitting nearby having a smoke and watching me with considerable curiosity as I spent about 15 minutes getting in close to take photographs. He came over eventually and explained how he'd built it himself over 20 years ago but had never seen anyone take photos of it so I showed him how the rust, stains and textures make for great shots. I think he was quietly proud and happy to oblige :-)

Excerpt from www.forbestravelguide.com/hotels/seoul-south-korea/four-s...:
The new 29-story, glass-and-steel Four Seasons Hotel Seoul, designed by Su Sin Tao of Singapore, is meant to look like an ancient Korean palace of old, but stylized and brought into the 21st century.
The main lobby lounge is built around a large circular fireplace, cast in an ancient bronze map of Korea, that details the country’s mountains, villages and rivers. More than 130 Korean artists are displayed throughout the building, including Ran Hwang, who used hundreds of ivory-colored buttons to produce a three-dimensional Korean ship for the lobby wall.
Every floor of the luxury hotel features floor-to-ceiling windows, which provide incomparable views of the central Gwanghwamun neighborhood. On one side you can see the stately, enormous Gyeongbokgung Palace, home of Korea’s kings and queens from the 14th through the early 20th centuries; on the other side, it’s modern Korea, all skyscrapers and international commerce, media institutes and modern public art.

Built in 1930, this Gulf Service Station was constructed for Carson Rose, who built the gas station along what was then United States Highway 25 (formerly Dixie Highway) in the town of Tazewell, Tennessee. The gas station operated until 1956, after which the structures housed various businesses. The building features a red brick exterior, buff brick accents, three-over-one double-hung windows, a front canopy with brick columns, a cornice with modillions, a concrete base, and two antique gas pumps at the front of the building. The building was restored by the town of Tazewell as a museum around the turn of the 21st Century, and today, the building is one of the best preserved historic gas stations in the United States.

The Riverside Drive Viaduct, built in 1900 by the US City of New York, was constructed to connect an important system of drives in Upper Manhattan by creating a high-level boulevard extension of Riverside Drive over the barrier of Manhattanville Valley to the former Boulevard Lafayette in Washington Heights.
F. Stuart Williamson was the chief engineer for the municipal project, which constituted a feat of engineering technology. Despite the viaduct's important utilitarian role as a highway, the structure was also a strong symbol of civic pride, inspired by America’s late 19th-century City Beautiful movement. The viaduct’s original roadway, wide pedestrian walks and overall design were sumptuously ornamented, creating a prime example of public works that married form and function. An issue of the Scientific American magazine in 1900 remarked that the Riverside Drive Viaduct's completion afforded New Yorkers “a continuous drive of ten miles along the picturesque banks of the Hudson and Harlem Rivers.”[1]
The elevated steel highway of the viaduct extends above Twelfth Avenue from 127th Street (now Tiemann Place) to 135th Street and is shouldered by masonry approaches. The viaduct proper was made of open hearth medium steel, comprising twenty-six spans, or bays, whose hypnotic repetition is much appreciated from underneath at street level. The south and north approaches are of rock-faced Mohawk Valley, N.Y., limestone with Maine granite trimmings, the face work being of coursed ashlar. The girders over Manhattan Explore - #40
Street (now 125th Street) were the largest ever built at the time. The broad plaza effect of the south approach was designed to impart deliberate grandeur to the natural terminus of much of Riverside Drive’s traffic as well as to give full advantage to the vista overlooking the Hudson River and New Jersey Palisades to the west.
The viaduct underwent a two-year long reconstruction in 1961 and another in 1987. (source: Wikipedia)

The Cathedral of Seville is built on the old aljama mosque of the city, this shows the power that one culture exercises over another when it is conquered. This fact makes its plan different, facing Mecca and not Jerusalem, that is, facing south instead of east. It should be clarified that Mecca is oriented at 10o from Seville and not at 86o as the old mosque is oriented, this is due to the fact that in Al-Andalus the mosques had to be oriented towards the south quadrant and not towards the east, as the Christian churches did. When the Cathedral Chapter commissioned the design of the Gothic Cathedral, it stated verbatim that it wanted a Cathedral that everyone who saw it would take for crazy. For this, 5 naves were created that covered the 116 by 76 meter rectangle occupied by the Almohad mosque, this results, unlike what was usual in the great European Gothic Cathedrals, a hall plan with a Latin cross marked in height and in width by the central naves and the transept. This hall plan also results in the absence of an ambulatory at the head, which ends in a straight line like the wall of the old mosque. Later the Royal Chapel would be added, which is a Renaissance apse, but it does not really correspond to the Gothic company. In the naves of the Gospel and the Epistle, which are the lateral naves, there are many chapels. The 60 pillars support 68 ogive vaults, highlighting those of the transept and central nave with their star shapes. Instead of placing a clerestory, a continuous balcony was chosen along the main nave in order to be able to wander around the temple without being seen. Located in the central nave, in order from the feet, are the Retrochoir, the Choir, with two organs, the Transept, the Main Altar, the Back of Altar and the Royal Chapel.
I built this little pig initially for a different category, but I liked the thing so much I decided to use it on a vignette. So this is my entry for the 12x12 Vignette category in this year's Summer Joust.

#legoDcbrickscontestforthewin
This was built for DCbricks contest. (Got full conned and never got my prize hmmm)
I've wanted to do this build for a while now, and having the chance to possibly win a prize was what motivated me to finally build this. I've tried to be as accurate to the show as possible and I think I have done a pretty good job of doing that. There are only a few things that I'm not too happy with and that is that it feels somewhat bare in the front and the floors not black like it is in the show, which is due to the fact that I just don't have enough black pieces to cover that amount of space.
. I'll release some closeup detail photos tomorrow as Its somewhat hard to appreciate some of the smaller details in this moc.
Edit was done by Dayton, link to his stream- www.flickr.com/photos/113172675@N06/
Sorry for the inactiveness over the past month, I've been busy working on another Moc (Hint, its Apoc) which has occupied most of my time.
Comments are greatly appreciated :)

The ZIPP 2001 is, to me, arguably the sexiest and most aerodynamic bicycle frame ever designed. Mounted it on my trainer and did an 80-min Spinerval session. We went really fast standing still! ;-P
Excerpts from Zack Vestal's Tech Feature – A Zipp through time
The 2001 frame was unlike anything previously available. With a massive wing-shaped downtube, no seat tube and a flexible beam acting as both a top tube and perch for the saddle, the wild frame was not widely accepted in the very traditional ranks of pro road riders. But it was a hit on the upstart triathlon scene and came to embody the technologically progressive Zipp brand in the 1990s.
Hallways in the building testify to the Zipp company’s early success.
“The cool thing about the Zipp bike coming out of the early 90s is how modern it is: the cables routed behind the stem, the rear brake under the chainstay,” said Poertner. Both of these features can be found on current aero bikes. “These bikes were very special, very expensive and only about 200 were made per year,” he continued. “These were literally made alongside noseboxes and wings for racecars, for the whole time they were being made.”
Each frame required 45 to 50 hours of labor and the cost was extraordinary, even by today’s standards. But this no-holds-barred approach to the pursuit of technology and the commitment to domestic production, set the tone for Zipp’s approach to the cycling market in the ensuing years.
In fact, continuing the technological progression even farther, the 1996 Zipp 3001 frameset marked the first non-aerospace use of boron incorporated with carbon fiber. The heavier material is quite strong in compression and has recently been used again, in modern carbon road bars, to reinforce the stem clamp zone.
The UCI eventually outlawed the design and the frame was discontinued at the end of 1997. But not before multiple Hawaii Ironman victories and time trial championships established the Zipp name at the head of the class in aerodynamic development.

Hotel Europe is a six storey, flatiron style building, built on a pie shaped property located in Historical Gastown, Vancouver BC Canada.
Construction began in 1908 and the hotel was completed and opened in 1909.
It was the first reinforced concrete structure to be built in Canada and the earliest fireproof hotel in Western Canada.
For the first years, the hotel flourished as people arrived to Vancouver by Steamship and stayed at the hotel.
The ground floor was once a beer parlour and is now currently a store. Below this beer parlour was an underground saloon accessible by stairs from a sidewalk entrance.
The underground area, including the saloon is said to have extended under the sidewalks on both sides of the hotel. These extensions were known as “areaways,” a typical feature of buildings in the Gastown area. Areaways were used to load and unload freight through trap doors in the outside sidewalk.
The Hotel Europe’s areaways were eventually filled in and bricked up and the underground saloon is said to be now a storage basement.
A more luxurious, Vancouver hotel opened in 1919 and the guest traffic shifted to the new hotel. At sometime it was said that the Hotel Europe became a brothel.
This building was later renovated into suites and is currently an affordable housing complex.
Rumored haunted. It is believed there is one, possibly two ghosts residing in the Hotel Europe. The first ghost was reported in the early '80s by a contractor who had been working on some repairs alone in the cellar, near the bricked up areaway entrance. Supposedly, he had left the cellar briefly and when he returned he found his tools had been scattered all over the floor. He heard scratching noises coming from behind the brick wall (a wall said to have been previously filled in) and felt a bad presence. He grabbed his tools and fled. Also, reported was a man dressed in a black coat with a flat cap that appeared in the shop on the ground level. One evening in the early 2000's after the shop owner had closed the store, the owner saw a man/ghost clearly reflected in the convex security mirror at the top end of the store. She was surprised to see him as she was sure there were no customers left in the store when she locked up. When she went to investigate, there was nobody there. The man in the mirror had vanished. The owner was left shaken and fled the property. This man/ghost was reported to return again at a later date.
It is questioned if this was the same original ghost or indeed a second one.

Newnes Hotel.
Built in 1907 to satisfy the thirst of those who worked at the former shale oil refinery that was established in what was then known as Wolgan.
It was renamed Newnes in 1907 to honour Sir George Newnes who was at that time the chairman of the Commonwealth Oil Corporation.
Scattered around the surrounding landscape of Newnes reminders of the shale refinery’s past can be found although none of it is intact.
The only surviving building to remain intact is the Newnes Hotel (although it is non-operational as a hotel) but today it serves as a kiosk and a museum.
For those seeking solitude there are a few holiday cabins with the grounds of the hotel.
It was seriously threatened with oblivion in 1986 when the swollen Wolgan River threatened the hotel with rising floodwaters and so it was decided to preserve the building by relocating it to its current site well beyond the reach of flood waters.
Today the Newnes Hotel stands as silent testament to what was once, a shale oil refinery operation that was located within the Wolgan Valley.

The Saskatchewan Legislative Building was built between 1908 and 1912 in the Beaux Arts style to a design by Edward and William Sutherland Maxwell of Montreal. The Maxwells also supervised construction of the building by the Montreal company P. Lyall & Sons, who later built the Centre Block of the federal Parliament Building in Ottawa after the 1866 Parliament Building was destroyed by fire in 1916. Piles began to be drilled for the foundations during the autumn of 1908 and in 1909 the Governor General of Canada, the Earl Grey, laid the cornerstone. In 1912, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, by then the serving governor general, inaugurated the building.
People enjoying a boat race on Wascana Lake north of the Legislative Building circa 1910.
The design contemplates expansion of the building by the addition of wings extending south from the east and west ends and coming together to form a courtyard. The plans originally called for the exterior of the building to be red brick but after construction had begun and red bricks were already on the site, Premier Walter Scott decided that Manitoba Tyndall stone would give the building greater grandeur and the plans were adjusted with the substitution increasing the building cost by $50,000. The total cost of construction came to $1.75 million by the time of its opening in October 1912, ten months after the assembly had begun meeting in the yet-uncompleted building.
Of historical significance, the table that was used during the meeting of the Fathers of Confederation in Quebec City in 1864 resides in the building's library, albeit with six feet of it removed. Lieutenant-Governor Edgar Dewdney of the North-West Territories brought the table to Regina, which was the capital of the territory at the time. It was used in the offices of the Indian commissioner for Manitoba and the North-West Territories until 1896. Six feet of the table length was removed from the middle so that it could fit within the limited confines of the Prince Edward Building, the temporary home of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan while the Saskatchewan Legislative Building was under construction.
