The Elevador de Santa Justa (in English: "Santa Justa Lift"), seen from the Rua de Santa Justa (in English: Santa Justa Street), Lisbon, Portugal
Some background information:
The Elevador de Santa Justa, also called Elevador do Carmo, is an elevator in the civil parish of Santa Maria Maior in the historic center of Lisbon. Situated at the end of Rua de Santa Justa, it connects the lower streets of the Baixa with the higher Carmo Square. Since its construction the lift has become a tourist attraction for Lisbon as, among the urban lifts in the city, Santa Justa is the only remaining vertical one. Others, including Elevador da Glória and Elevador da Bica, are actually funicular railways, and the second lift of the same style, constructed around the same time, the Elevator de São Julião, has since been demolished.
In 1874, the civil and military engineer Roberto Arménio presented a project to the Lisbon municipal council In order to facilitate the movement between the city of Lisbon’s lower and upper town. Based on the plans of the engineer Raoul Mesnier de Ponsard, the distinctive cast iron structure was completed in 1902. Originally, the cabins were powered by a steam engine, but the steam engine was replaced by electric motors in 1907.
The structure consists of a base with access to the lower-lying district of Baixa, a metal tower housing the elevator cabins, and a 25-meter-long metal walkway providing access to the Chiado district. The height difference between the two levels is 45 meters. On the top floor, there is an observation deck offering spectacular views over the city, including Baixa, Chiado, and Lisbon’s Castle, the Castelo de São Jorge. Inside the tower, there are two cabins, decorated with original wood paneling, glass panes, mirrors, and brass fittings, each accommodating 24 people.
With an estimated population of almost 568,000 within its administrative limits and 2,961,177 within its metropolitan area, Lisbon is the capital and largest city of Portugal. It is mainland Europe's westernmost capital city and the only one along the Atlantic coast. Situated on the northern shore of the Tejo river near its estuary, Lisbon’s port can be called at by ships of any size.
Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in the world and the second-oldest European capital city (after Athens). Although the first fortifications on Lisbon's castle hill are known to be no older than the 2nd century BC, recent archaeological finds have shown that Iron Age people already occupied the site from the 8th to 6th centuries BC. The Phoenicians and later the Carthaginians, are said to have called the place Alis Ubbo and used it as the only major natural harbor on the Iberian Atlantic coast. There are also evidences that Lisbon once was a Greek city, but its Greek name is unknown.
Under Roman rule, starting around 205 BC, the city was initially called Olisipo. In 48 BC, the town was granted Roman municipal rights and subsequently became known as Colonia Felicitas Iulia, growing into a larger town in the province of Lusitania. From 409 AD, barbarian tribes advanced onto the Iberian Peninsula from Gaul. During the late antique migration period, Alans, Suebi, Vandals, and Visigoths tried to occupy Lisbon.
In 719, Lisbon was conquered by Muslim Moors and later became part of the Emirate of Córdoba. The city, now known as al-Ushbuna, experienced its first major boom. During the Caliphate of Córdoba, the city was one of the most important ports, while Christian Galicians and Leonese repeatedly attempted to seize it. In 844, Vikings ravaged Lisbon and its surroundings.
In the 11th century, Lisbon was part of the Moorish Emirate of the Aftasids from Badajoz. Starting in 1093, Count Raymond of Armous, a younger son of Duke William I of Burgundy, was given rule over Galicia by King Alfonso VI of León. From there, he launched campaigns against the Moors in the south, temporarily managing to occupy Lisbon.
At the beginning of the 11th century, the south of the Iberian Peninsula was still under Moorish control. But in 1147, in the course of the so-called Reconquista, the Siege of Lisbon led to the city's final capture by the Portuguese under Alfonso I. In 1255, Lisbon became the capital city of the new Portuguese territory and in 1290, the first Portuguese university was founded in the town. During the last centuries of the Middle Ages, Lisbon expanded substantially and became an important trading post with both Northern European and Mediterranean cities.
When the Spaniards had expelled the Jews from Spanish territory, many of them fled to Lisbon. But even in Portugal they either had to convert to Christianity or leave. In 1506, an anti-semitic movement among the Old Christians of Lisbon culminated in a massacre lasting four days in which some 1,000 to 4,000 New Christian residents, converted descendants of Sephardic Jews, are estimated to have been killed.
Most of the Portuguese expeditions of the Age of Discovery set out from Lisbon during the period from the end of the 15th century to the beginning of the 17th century, including Vasco da Gama's expedition to India in 1498. In the 16th century, Lisbon’s golden era began: The city was the European hub of commerce between Africa, India, the Far East and later, Brazil, and acquired great riches by exploiting the trade of spices, slaves, sugar, textiles and other goods. This period also saw the rise of the exuberant Manueline style in architecture, which left its mark in many 16th-century monuments, including the Belém Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery.
The succession crisis of 1580 initiated a sixty-year period of dual monarchy in Portugal and Spain under the Spanish Habsburgs. In 1589, Lisbon was the target of an incursion by the English Armada led by Francis Drake. The Portuguese Restoration War, which began with a coup d'état organised by the nobility and bourgeoisie in Lisbon in 1640 amd ended with the Treaty of Lisbon in 1668, restored Portuguese independence.
In the early 18th century, gold from Brazil allowed King John V to sponsor the building of several Baroque churches and theatres in the city. Prior to the 18th century, Lisbon had experienced several significant earthquakes: eight in the 14th century, five in the 16th century, and three in the 17th century. But the earthquake of 1755 was the most davastating one. It destroyed 85 percent of the city's structures, including the Ribeira Palace and the hospital Real de Todos os Santos. An an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 Lisbon residents of a total population estimated of 200,000 to 275,000 wer killed. And in the coastal areas north of Lisbon even more people were killed by the following tsunami.
This catastrophic event shocked the whole of Europe and left a deep impression on its collective psyche. However, the city was rebuilt quickly and largely according to the plans of prime minister Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, the 1st Marquis of Pombal. He decided to demolish what remained after the earthquake and rebuild the city centre in accordance with principles of modern urban design. It was reconstructed in an open rectangular plan with two great squares: the Praça do Rossio and the Praça do Comércio.
In the first years of the 19th century, Portugal was invaded by the troops of Napoléon Bonaparte, forcing Queen Maria I and Prince-Regent John to flee temporarily to Brazil. By the time the new King John VI returned to Lisbon, many of the buildings and properties were pillaged, sacked or destroyed by the invaders. The development of industry and commerce determined the growth of the city and Lisbon grew farther from the Tejo river.
In 1911, Lisbon refounded its university after centuries of inactivity. In the 20th century, the city was also the site of three revolutions. The first ond of 1910 brought an end to the Portuguese monarchy and established the highly unstable and corrupt Portuguese First Republic. The second one of 1926 ended the first republic and firmly established the Portuguese Second Republic. And the third revolution of 1974, the so-called Carnation Revolution, put an end to the right-wing regime and reformed the country to what it is still today, the Portuguese Third Republic.
Modern Lisbon is the political centre of the country and hosts the government, the National Assembly, the Supreme Court of Justice and the Armed Forces. It is also the residence of the head of state and the centre of Portuguese diplomacy, with ambassadors from 86 countries residing in the city, as well as representations from Taiwan and Palestine. About 2.96 million people, who live in the Lisbon metropolitan area (representing almost 28 % of the Portugal's population), make Lisbon the third largest metropolitan area in the Iberian Peninsula after Madrid and Barcelona.

This is how I place the 1x1 clip "illegal connections" on a LDD model. It technically is not connected on the LDD model, just like the tank treads are not "connected."
1. I use a brick and a 1x2 with handle.
2. Rotate the 1x1 clip a bit.
3. Delete brick and 1x2 handle.
4. I use 3 light swords with the handles... Use the 2 piece selection tool. Then you can
move it up, down, left/right until it is in it's place. Sometimes I have to rotate the clip
more or less to get it to fit.
Hope this helps. A lil time consuming, but it helps "finish" the models. :D Just like adding the treads, you get used to doing it after a while and then it goes pretty fast.

In a transitory world, the things with which one can make genuine, lasting connections seem, at best, few and far between. “Connections” is my search for non-transitory things, and it is perhaps a longer realization that reality is inherently transitory.

In a transitory world, the things with which one can make genuine, lasting connections seem, at best, few and far between. “Connections” is my search for non-transitory things, and it is perhaps a longer realization that reality is inherently transitory.
In hollow disbelief that there was actual light after 5 days without power, water and connection to the outside world in Lower Manhattan. The power was restored to the East Village (where I was here) on November 2, 2012, nearly 5 days after Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy hit NYC.
I got the call from Con Ed where I was uptown (trying to get a working connection) and immediately traveled back downtown where I walked through the East Village which was bathed in light back to my home on the Lower East Side. It was an emotional journey that night.
