I'm sure most of you feel the same way that I do about the official LEGO design for the Separatist Buzz Droid. They range from being laughingly awful (*shudders* the one with the battle droid legs still haunts my dreams) to simply being too cumbersome and not really in line with minifigure proportions.
So, as I was cleaning my Star Wars collection, I devoted some time to redesigning my two Buzz Droids before putting them on display. What started out as a simple swapping out of a few parts lead to a complete re-imagining. I've seen other great Buzz Droid MOCs, but many of them are flimsy and don't have a lot of playability. These little guys hold up well and are pretty posable.
As always, feed back is encouraged. :D
Buzz Boeing 737-8200 SP-RZF departing Glasgow for Krakrow. This was the first visit of Ryanair's "gamechanger" aircraft to Glasgow.
I didn't ;have the reach to get decent shots of the eagles flying by, so at times I switched to other things flying by...
Caught this bee mid-flight, heading straight for the foxglove. Moel Morfydd, part of Llantysilio Mountain, in the background.

It feels weird taking shots of a toy with a tripod on a busy road with people walking around, sometimes everyone is like ..look that's buzz, some ppl start smiling ..but it definitely gets the attention of ppl. If they have a nice smile, I'll show them what I did. Anyways I took this shot in all lighting conditions, with flash, without flash, with light from the passing cars on the streets but I think this looks best and I really like the texture of the concrete floor.

Here is my son Justin demonstrating his deadly two-fisted technique on DIsneyland's Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters...
We had come to DIsneyland for a quick meetup with Tom Bricker, his wife Sarah and Ryan Pastorino. Despite our rushed schedules on a Sunday evening, we managed to get a few quality rides in before we all went our separate ways. I was using a rented Sigma 10mm f/2.8 fisheye on this trip, a lens I am becoming quite fond of due to it's auto focus and relatively good low light performance.
The highlight of Yuri's Night for me was meeting Buzz Aldrin, the American astronaut who on the Apollo 11 lunar landing was the second person to set foot on the moon.

Hau‘ula, O‘ahu.

I am back here at Pella Crossing on Marlatt Trails near the end of the long entrance trail and the start of pasture land. I have no idea why these horses have been denied access to all those lucious pasture grasses shone in my last Pella shot. These nags can't eat the recyclables dumped beside the fence. The railroad grade was hit by the flood and was rebuilt, never mind that the ties were long shot anyway.
The Marlatt trail turns left near here but I heard this horse "nagging" me from this spot and thought he looked intent on nipping my butt. Back OFF! It could be that garlic that I planted right there or... because Trump outlawed horse melanin, he only likes white horses and Sarah Sanders was stealing his oats to gorge herself. It takes a lot of oats to lie like that. This nag probably heard Harleys are going to be way more expensive and folks will start riding nags again. Bummers!
It looks like the latest weather blast has abated but more clouds stream in from the divide in this scene. The trekkers are now off the trail, not unlike the migrant kids. I don't think that Pruett denying global warming is going to stop these clouds from heading east and pounding someone even if he warns the Koch Brothers on his Bat Phone. They'll ship Pruett more money regardless if really nasty weather slams their Kansas. The trail's empty, my clothes are still damp and a breeze is cooling me down to about perfect. When summer sprinkles hit here, enjoy the heck out of them and get damp and cool. I already passed two of the ponds, gravel pits and am near to rounding the second pond toward the outhouse and river. Where is that pesky outhouse when you need it? Is that why the nag is pissed? Oh well, no one else is watching.
I am out west on Marlatt Trails (the Marlatt family had a farm down the road) and found a ditch, right of path, the Denio Taylor Mill Ditch. The Denio Taylor Ditch eventually wandered east, downhill from Longmont's Third Avenue toward the old Denio Mill on Pratt Street. It now disappears before arrival. The flour mill, current Old Mill Park site was operated by J.W. Denio and others. The old mill was actually serviced by one of the early railroads that actually extended another block west paralleling the feed water ditch.
Boulder County eventually reopened Pella Crossing Park at Hygiene after the flood a decade ago. Who thought that a flood plain with multiple gravel pits, a river bottom and a Mill and other ditches would ever flood in the age of global orangeman warming... We have met the enemy and he is a bold faced liar. Let's hope that the "bigger the lie" no longer holds sway as it did 70 decades ago in Austria and Germany. Apparently there are several prairie castle owners who prefer this flood plain. This all started when I delivered a couple of the tomato plants to Ronnie in Hygiene. He related that the park, on the other side of the railroad tracks, had reopened. It's been some time since I wandered the area.
Pella was an original St. Vrain River ford settlement but unlike Longmont, Pella has long disappeared, early floods perhaps. Almost all the water in St. Vrain River has similarly disappeared into lawns and gravel pits. At least the ground and ditch water is watering some habitat. Hygiene eventually sprung up north of old Pella. I visited the park east of North 75th Street south of Hygiene earlier. Some clouding finally showed up so I parked at Ronnie's which is closer to the west side Marlatt Trails and headed out on my trek under threatening skies. After a couple of treks in hundred degree heat, a sprinkle is enormously welcome. A sprinkle here is a state of mind. Off and around the railroad tracks to head west along Dragonfly Pond.
I apparently ticked off this bumblebee that was intently feeding on clover...When he finally noticed he was being watched he angrily buzzed my head several times to let me know that I had overstepped my bounds.
Evil Emperor Zurg's latest diabolical scheme involves trying to win the Boonta Eve Classic Podrace with his evil Zurg Podracer (a.k.a. the "Z-Pod"), so Buzz Lightyear enters the race himself with his Star Command Podracer in order to stop him!
This is my entry for the 2011 Podracer Challenge on FBTB and its rival. I finally got around to photoshopping these guys! :)
Buzz is a bit under the weather so send some positive vibes his way please.
