For 119 pictures in 2019, #58 "in your time capsule", These are some items representing particular times in my life: a box of Ektachrome slides from the late 1960s, a (still valid) passport for all the times I had to travel to Europe on business (over the last few years, before I retired), and a collection of guitar picks for the time I used to build and play guitars.

This is my second set from bf❤ What happened was that I sent my first set of capsule machines to the bf's house last year or so and asked him to bring them back to my house when he visited 3 weeks ago. Somehow he lost the mini sticker&small capsule of one of the machines and bought me a new set ^_____^ I like how these come in boxes 'cause my first set came in capsules instead. I'll take individual pictures of the machines later :P

In search of light

A friend was ordering parts from a Polish BrickLink store and asked if there was anything I wanted while he was doing an international order. I noticed they had the a lot of the new (ish) 2x2 turntable pieces going cheap, so when the order arrived, I immediately set to work to build something with a few of them. Thus the Micropolis Capsule Hotel was born. Cheap and cheerful, it's a popular place to stay while visiting the tiny city. Ref: D1710-052

The iconic Nakagin Capsule Tower, in Shimbashi, is still hanging on by the skin of its teeth. Probably not much longer left to see this supreme example of Japanese Metabolism. It's already covered with netting and looks rather dilapidated. In all my years in Tokyo today was the first time I've been up close to it.

I wanted to do something unique with the canopy from the 75188 Resistance Bomber set, and this immediately came to mind. It's very much inspired by the old G.I. Joe space capsule which I had as a kid, minus the bright blue interior!

Accommodates about 30 per capsule

I bought 2 (there's 2 machines per box) sets of these cute little capsule toy machines. They're in 1/12 scale (Himeno is about 5 1/2 inches tall), but I think you could make them work for 1/6 if you put them on a table or a stand. I have them stacked on top of each other, but you can stack them all side by side if you want. When I bought them I thought I was getting little machines, but it turned out these are kits. With the instructions in Japanese LOL. Thankfully, they also had pictures, & once I put the first one together, it was easy. Part of the set are tiny blue & clear halves of a capsule that you put together, & there's also about 100 little pink, yellow, & blue balls that you put inside the machines. Unfortunately, they don't actually work. They also come with a sheet of about 30 pictures that you cut out & use for the front of the machine. I'm still thinking about buying more, I would like a whole row of these.

APOLOGIES

Apologies to all my contacts for not visiting and commenting. Work and weather are both very trying, first week back at work under a mega heat wave. Every day is over 40C heat, yesterday was 45C and today 46C. While it was pleasant to see my colleagues and be in a swish new office, my body is complaining about the lack of lying down and napping.

Les nouvelles capsules Nescargo sont transparentes, ainsi vous pouvez voir le produit à l'intérieur...

You've heard all about Japan's capsule hotels. Well, here's the very first capsule architecture which gave birth to the concept, still fully intact and operational as offices and residential space in Shimbashi. Designed by Kisho Kurokawa, the Nakagin Capsule Tower was built between 1970 and 1972. Each of these little concrete 'boxes' is a fully self-contained unit, equipped with bed, tv/radio console, bathroom, and closet. (See more info on the construction).

Nakagin Capsule Tower, March 2022. Scheduled to be demolished this year. Built in 70’s I think idea was each module unit is supposed to be replaceable. It never worked in real life, tho now in 2022 I think it could? Generic photo - I need to go back with tripod and shoot at night, maybe with Holga Panoramic.
