Have had a lot of ideas for SHIPs flowing through my mind, but, each time I attempted to start on, nothing came around, but now, I think I might have a decent start with this.
Got the idea after seeing Juns' table scrap.
That generator is made from minifig stands, and is the whole reason why I built this. It was just so damn cool I had to put it in something. :D
Credit for vent design goes to gambort.
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.
The Generator is the business end of the hydro-electric system and is rotated by the turbine below, which produces the electricity to be sent to the main grid to be used by the consumer.
The Generators were made by General Electric Co limited from Peterborough, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
2900 KVA
13,200 Volts

Multiple small discharges from a Wimshurst generator. Worked with Sam Dejong.
Equipment borrowed from the UVic Physics and Astronomy Department.
This diesel generator set provided backup power to an AT&T microwave site in central Connecticut for about 40+ years. The entire network was decommissioned in the late 1980s in favor of buried fiber cables.
The current owners of the site considered using this monster for e-power for their equipment, but they're afraid parts might be a problem... A bit of Web research has turned up a number of companies that carry (quite literally) tons of parts for these machines! However, I suspect that 20 KW (and the 1 to 1.5 gallons per hour fuel consumption) is massive overkill for the modern equipment on this site. Hopefully, though, someone who loves old iron will rescue this beautiful (and no doubt still serviceable) piece before they decide to scrap it.
This the old Union Generator at the Vulture Mine. Some have reported a disembodied voice coming from behind the main engine claiming, “I’m not free”. Dominating the room is a gigantic 6 cylinder, four-cycle diesel engine. (Best Viewed black (Press L)
Last run in 1954, the Union engine was shipped to the mine fifty years earlier in 1904- It came disassembled, but with a German engineer to install, assemble, and get it running. It was brought by ship around the horn, up the Gulf of California and then by barge or steamer up the Colorado River to Ehrenberg. There, the many crates were loaded on freight wagons for the 115-mile dirt road trip to the Vulture Mine. Handling those two massive crankcase castings and the crankshaft itself must have been interesting.

well not really, i sure know the F-16 much, MUCH better than this stuff!
i scored some really old equipment (oscilloscope and pulse generator), but i have no idea how to use it. cant even produce a sine wave as-is. :(
any ideas are welcome, of course.
well, at least those things smell strongly of electronics when in operation. so yeah, i think i'll just go to sleep while smelling their scent of nerdyness for now. =)
ps: will reply to other stuff in the next few days.
Diesel Generator is a very small MOC, and it was a huge challenge for me, because of the several details and techniques used.
I think I managed to get a very satisfactory result.
I used some uncommon parts wich gave some life to the final result
This was a very spontaneously shoot. The whole shoot took less than an hour!!! (including make-up, traveling, and hair!)

This application generates random pixel landscapes. You can play with them by adding fog, changing the colours of the landscape to see how it looks in another season, adding rainbow and rain as well.
Please, check the application here:
www.gilbertomoya.es/pixel_landscape_generator.html
This application was made by using ActionScript 3 programming language.
Here you have part of the code:
HOW TO ADD MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF ONE OBJECT FROM THE LIBRARY TO THE STAGE IN FLASH USING AS3:
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 28; i++)
//28 is the number of instances
{
_Pixel = new pixel_mc();
container.addChild(_Pixel);
_Pixel.x = i * 20;
_Pixel.transform.colorTransform = miCambiodeColor;
miCambiodeColor.redOffset = Math.round((Math.random() * 100) - 50) + 100;
miCambiodeColor.greenOffset = 190;
miCambiodeColor.blueOffset = Math.round((Math.random() * 100) - 50) + 100;
//the last lines give random colours to each single instance of the object
}
//If you have any question feel free to ask me

I know it's not really "Military", but it's my first mircoscale. It's the generator / air pump from the Mars Mission sets. Sorry about the bad picture quality (EDIT: My newer stuff looks loads better, my old camera was a piece of crap) . I hope these visual instructions make sense.
