Seems to me that Polaroid Round Frame is all about shape. The shape of the frame is what defines it. So when trying to figure out how to use it, the place I landed was pictures of… shapes.

In the days of pocket film cameras (instamatics etc) when flash was needed a flash bulb was used. A step towards recharging flash guns was the introduction of the Flash Cube, which had 4 flash bulbs built in. After the 4th one was used, the whole cube was disposed of.
Each face of the cube meanures 1 sq inch.

Relatively small and heavily armored, this cube type punches trough defenses to cause chaos behind enemy lines prior to the main assault.

enjoy your weekend;)
P.S. made without tripod....just out of the hand...sure...😀
I love these houses with their geometric surprises. Because of the terrential rain a little tweaking was necessary to achieve this effect. Hopefully we get better weather next time.
So I am at work today talking to the coworker that totally gets that I like my dolls (the same one that is making Gracie the face of the Green Team) and I look down and see the hat and head of one of those tiny Wizard of Oz dolls McD's had a while back...I look in the cube next to him and see the little feet. ROFL!! He put it there for the girl in that cube to find when she comes back from vacation. Some days I don't hate work so much.

My fourth and last build for #MECHtober2021
What's MECHtober you ask? Simply build four mechs in October, one mech a week, and they should all be in the same 'family'

Dance lime tree and church in the centre of the little village of Peesten, Franconia (Bavaria), Germany
Some background information:
The so-called dance lime tree stands in the center of the village of Peesten, next to the little church dedicated to St Mary from the 14th century and opposite the hunting château of the noble family von Giech. A dance lime tree at the same spot was already mentioned in writing in 1657, indicating that it was planted between 1550 and 1600. It survived until 1947, when it had died back because of its great age, the effects of weather, and the lack of care during World War II. In 1953, a new dance lime tree was replanted at its historic location.
A listed historical monument is the four-sided dance platform with its timber-framed superstructure, which is virtually in the tree’s "first floor". Beneath it are twelve octagonal support pillars from 1770, and it is accessible via a stone spiral staircase from 1837. The tree hall beneath the tree crown has an area of 87 square metres. The lime tree itself is a protected natural monument. The cube-shaped form of the tree crown is considered unique in Europe. In the region, lime tree festivals (in German: "Lindenkirchweihen") are an old tradition. During these festivals, young residents of the villages dance on the plattforms under their local lime trees.
With ist less than 230 residents, Peesten is a little village located in the district of Kulmbach in the Bavarian administrative region of Upper Franconia. The settlement lies about 20 km (12.5 miles) to the northwest of the city of Bayreuth and about 40 km (25 miles) to the northeast of the city of Bamberg. The name of the village is derived from the Sorbian word "pĕsčane" meaning "sandy place", which implies that it was founded by the West Slavic ethnic group of the Sorbs.
In 1295, Peesten was first mentioned in a document. For almost three centuries, the village was in possession of the knightly vassals of the family Förtsch von Thurnau. A document from 1516 reveals that two members of the noble Förtsch family, Martin and Jorg, divided their properties in Peesten, each receiving a manor and half of the village from Friedrich V, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach-Kulmbach. However, both manors were destroyed in 1553 during the Second Margrave War.
After Jorg Förtsch von Thurnau had died in 1566 and his house had become extinct, his sons-in-law Hans Georg von Giech and Johann Friedrich von Künssberg inherited his estates. Both families then divided the inheritance, with Peesten falling to the lords von Giech. In the course of the Thirty Years‘ War, the village was plundered several times by both war parties. In addition to the turmoil of war, the plague struck, almost completely depopulating Peesten. In the year 1634 alone, 103 people died, prompting the local pastor to leave the now-deserted village.
By the late 18th century, Peesten consisted of 36 properties, a church, a rectory, and a schoolhouse. Jurisdiction over the area was held by the manorial court of the noble family von Giech in the nearby little town of Thurnau, which also exercised local and municipal authority as well as lordship over all the estates. From 1797 to 1810, the village fell under the patrimonial court of Thurnau. In 1810, Peesten became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria. As part of the municipal reform of 1811, the tax district of Peesten was established, including twelve even smaller villages in the proximity.
With the Second Municipal Edict of 1818, the rural municipality of Peesten was formed. Administratively and judicially, it was assigned to the lordly court of Thurnau, and in fiscal matters to the tax office of Kulmbach. In matters of voluntary jurisdiction, almost all properties remained under the patrimonial court of Thurnau until 1848. From 1862, Peesten belonged to the Kulmbach district office. In 1976, the municipality of Peesten was finally incorporated into the town of Kasendorf.

I'm actually kinda surprised I never built an official 'Borg Cube' - I've done a Greeble World but always wanted to take on the greeblist of builds.
Still not as big as I wanted to be, but one thing I really wanted to try to accomplish with this build was the proper 'layering' that's in the cube with the glow underneath.
It's about 2 bricks tall of 'greeble' to achieve the layers.

These are from a pack of Wooden Cubes that I bought from a craft shop a while ago.
I plan to build them up into a pyramid like seen here and then set them on fire and take photo's at intervals while they burn.
I have to find a safe place to do it first. I can't do it in the house and we live in a communal area so a secluded and safe location is key.
There was a demo being put on by this company called "Cube Works" at the Distillery District.
They use "Magic Cube" toys to recreate famous works of art. Pretty cool stuff. See their website for more info:
Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, since its main purpose is to optimise the space inside. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest. The central idea of the cube houses around the world is mainly optimizing the space, as a house, to a better distribution of the rooms inside. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_house
