Build for two reasons:
1) For Simons 18- Turtle Contest
2) To celebrate the release of the Exo-Suit Lego Ideas Set.
And To have something with an extremely long title. :D
I hope you like!
Update: The Exo-Suit is sold out. Fuck my life.
Narceus americanus-
This is a black millipede with long red stripes. It is scientifically known as the Narceus americanus.
Its common name is the North American Millipede. This millipede is noteworthy in that it is the largest of all the millipedes in North America. It can grow to a length of 10cm- which makes it twice as large as any other millipede in North America.
This Millipede feeds on plant matter–mostly decayed or dead plant matter–and is most often found outside, very rarely venturing inside. They may be considered pests by gardeners.
They live in woods and fields, anywhere there is darkness and moisture. They are usually found underneath logs or dead leaves.
Millipedes eat dead and decaying plant matter, such as old leaves, stems, and flowers. They also eat fungi that is on the plant matter, and sometimes they eat partly decayed animals, such as earthworms, snails, and insects. Millipedes are very important, because they help put nutrients back in the soil for plants and other organisms to use.
Millipedes have tiny holes, called spiracles, on the sides of their segments. They breathe through these holes and must stay in places where there is moisture.
North American Millipedes are mostly nocturnal, coming out to feed at night.
Millipedes have predators, but they also have some good defenses.
First, if a millipede feels threatened it can roll up tightly into a coil, with its head and legs turned inward. This way its hard exoskelton (shell) protects the soft parts of its body.
If that doesn't work, the millipede lets out a foul-smelling chemical which makes it unappetizing to many predators.
Even with these defenses, millipedes are eaten by frogs, lizards, some beetles, and a few birds. Their main predators, though, are shrews. Millipedes are one of the shrew's favorite snacks.
Lobster is a strong Holiday tradition in Atlantic Canada.
The harvesting starts the last week of November or very near that time.
The regulated areas, designated for fishing lobster, during this period are 33/34 which encompasses the Bay of Fundy, St. Mary's Bay, Southwest Nova, all along the South Shore, all the way to Halifax.
This time of the year, the cold waters, yield premium hard shell lobster, full of sweet meat, that is unparalleled.
Freshwater turtles are reptiles with hard shells that protect them from predators. They spend most of their life in the water only coming on land to migrate between water bodies or to nest. Australia is home to about 23 species of freshwater turtle. All but one of these species belong to the family Chelidae, which is found only in Australasia and South America. These ‘side-necked’ turtles retract their head and neck beneath their shell by folding it to one side, rather than drawing their head backwards as most of the world’s species of turtles and tortoises do. Australia is also home to 6 of the 7 species of marine turtle, but lacks the truly land-based tortoises that occur on all other continents except Antarctica. New South Wales is home to 7 species of native freshwater turtle, two of which are found nowhere else. North American species of freshwater turtles like the red-eared slider turtle have also been found in the Sydney region, probably as a result of people releasing imported pets into local waterways.

Second entry to the
Eurobricks Turtle Insanity Turtle Building contest.
A group of deer high on the Northern face of Camaderry Co Wicklow. I had seen this group as I was on the way up but they kept moving just out of range. I managed to work my way downwind of them and got within a 100m at this point where they had stopped on the top of a butress and got a couple of shots before they dropped out of sight. Not a great shot - I think the sky lets it down and it is not very sharp - but for me it captures the wildness of this less commonly ascended part of the mountain
Shot with a Nikon D5000 with a Nikkor 55-200 @ 200 f11 1/50
I was wearing merino base layers, Polartec mid layer, a 750 fill down jacket and a ME hardshell and the cold was still getting through when I stopped moving ;-)
Winter is really biting now and the Dublin Wicklow and Glen Imaal mountain rescue teams have had a busy weekend in Wicklow
I get a decent number of questions asking me what I shoot with, do I use X or Y or whatever... so to make it easier I recently just took a photo of what's in my camera case, and then dumped it out so folks could get an idea of what tools I use (admittedly some more than other's).
A close up of this photo of my camera case. You can also see this photo of the case unloaded (which shows more stuff since some stuff is hidden as it's stacked under other equipment).

The hard clam or quahog, Mercenaria mercenaria is a bivalve mollusc native to the eastern shores of North America, from Prince Edward Island to the Yucatán Peninsula. Older sources may give it the systematic name Venus mercenaria. It is one of many unrelated bivalves referred to as clams.
"Turtle Island" by Patti Deters. A Yellow-bellied slider (Trachemys scripta scripta) or pond slicer has climbed onto a small clump of moss and other pond detritus. The small reptile rests on the tiny island, soaking up the warmth of the sun. As an ectotherm, he relies on external warmth, so basking in the sun on the moss helps regulate body temperature. He is surrounded by calm water and is beautifully reflected on the surface. Sunlight creates a soft, bokeh effect in the background, adding a serene atmosphere to this aquatic scene.

Freshly steamed Nova Scotia lobsters await consumption. Newspaper is the tablecloth.
Some guests will dip their morsels in melted butter.
I decline.
The sweet taste of those lobsters, harvested in the cold waters of the Bay of Fundy, is all I need.
Many Atlantic Canadians enjoy lobster over the Holidays as the cold water produces some of the very finest lobster in the world.
Every Friday in the Summer, the wharf at Belliveau's Cove offers for sale, fresh lobsters, mussels, clams, snow crab. Live music and wonderful sunsets on the wharf.

Meet our new friend; a painted turtle we found in our yard after most likely laying eggs. Look how Nature has adorned her with such beautiful eyes and gorgeous intricate stripes on her body and shell. These turtles are flashy in the water, but up close they really are amazing.
She did NOT like being picked up, and gave me a good "hiss." Once I photographed her, I let her go on the other side of our fence since our dog would have LOVED to play with her... and she plays a little rough with turtles!!

A female painted turtle is in the process of finding a place in our yard to lay her eggs. We have at least one show up every year. I'm not sure if she is the same mom that is returning each summer.

A normal composition of beach litter on this little beach, with the bonus of yet another Vaisala weather sonde, quite disintegrated. These used to be hardshell, not so easily broken down. Most of what we find here is fisheries related.
My other half sits reading a book on the beach at Lough Dan Co Wicklow. It is not often you need to wear a hardshell on the beach but this is the Irish summer.....:-)
However it is a magical spot that is about 100M of white sand, that would put the Caribbean to shame, shielded by a grove of old silver birches. We had the place entirely to ourselves on this occasion

As some of you may know, I am attending the Great West Lego Show at STEAM this year (Oct 4,5,6) in the UK. Since I want to display some of my train MOCs and run them on Carl Greatrix's beautiful layout, that means I need to get them from Ottawa Canada to the UK.
After reviewing my options, the best method (economically and logistically) was to bring them with me as additional checked baggage. The excess baggage fee from Air Canada is still far less than any shipping method and I get to keep my MOCs with me during transport.
Keeping the MOCs safe for transport / baggage handling required some more thinking. In the end, I decided to buy a standard 28" hardshell suitcase and modify it. The hardshell case is relatively durable and is fitted with TSA/CATSA compatible locks (useful to allow easy access for security/customs screening). Rather than wrap everything in foam and hope for the best, I decided an "engineered" solution was required! In particular, a hardshell case will deform and squash under load which would crush MOCs even if wrapped in foam. Therefore, I added a slotted compartment system which is adjustable, lightweight, prevents MOCs from moving, and provides a rigid framework to prevent crushing. MOCs will stay safe if they cannot move, hence the compartments. They will also stay safe if impact forces are spread and absorbed by the entire structure, hence the rigid foam inserts between compartments along the floor and walls.
Ultimately, time will tell if this solution works. Right now, the focus is getting my MOCs ready! So many things to clean up and finish and so little time. There will be no more public updates for "Tornado". Its debut will be reserved for STEAM. So, if you're in the UK area Oct 5/6; that will be your chance to see it for real!

Some say Turtle lives forever. His children say he carries Mother Earth on his back through space as a reward for his courage and kindness. Even today the turtle lives a long and slow paced life. His shell shows us the hurt that hate causes. The weight of it shows how deep and heavy war scars those that live through it. It reminds us how long it takes to rebuild, forgive, forget and learn to love again. (Excerpt from Native American Legends: Brother Turtle The Rock Animal)
That time of the day for two turtles . . . getting some sunshine on an early Springtime day, and perhaps a little time for some shell to shell contact.

It was raining all the day so my main motif became people with umbrellas. For a while I lingered around a main shopping street but none of the captures I took satisfied me. So I left this place and around a corner I found this warning sign. "Yes, the right subject" I thought. Looking for the right angle to make a shot, meanwhile I had been in a really uncomfortable squatting position, suddenly a female voice asked from behind me: "What do you capture?" I stood up showed her a test shot and told her, that the warning sign caught my attention. She said: "It would be terrific when somebody would slip and fall while you take the captue! You know, I also photograph and I have a clue how hard it can be to find the right motive. Let us fake this photo. I will come along and than I pretend to slip"
A couple of captures later she browsed them on the cam's display and told me; "Nooo, none of those is good. We have to replace the sign". No sooner said than done. Well, that picture is the result, but she did not like it either. "Too dark, not good, ... there have to be better reflections on the wet street surface" she told me. "Come let us look for another subject; I know a big puddle over there."
During the search for the perfect puddle we talked about photography of course. The lady hadn't much knowledge of equipment, lenses or focal lengths,- she told my that she shoots with a Panasonic camara - but it turned out that she had some photo exhibitions in the past. Now she is only photographing for her self but she still has fun doing it.
So after half an hour exposed in a downpour we had some other photos. My upper body had been protected by my trusted Gore-Tex hardshell but my trousers were soaked. "Ohoh, your camara became wet all over" she said with a concerned facial expression. I quite her and told her not to worry about the waterproofness but I pointed at my wet pants. "That concerns me, I have to go home", I told her.
Homebound in the subway, wet and tired, I dwelled on thoughts.
What did I learn?
Equipment does not matter as long It is still fun (and waterproof).
Thank you old lady!
P.S.
I am tired and did not review the text. So excuse any orthographic mistakes please.

Gibson 50th Anniversary Les Paul Jeff Tweedy Signature SG
OK Ok This could be just a Man Thing but here we go I went to Newcastle with my Val with the view to buying a Macro Lens from Jacobs HOWEVER they are BUST Gone Kaput oh no one might say?
So what do you do? Obviously you buy a Gibson LesPaul like any sensible Human would
As a co-founder of seminal alt-country band Uncle Tupelo, and the founder and leader of Wilco, one of the most adventurous alternative-minded bands working today, Jeff Tweedy has consistently displayed an uncanny knack for setting infectious tunes within adventurous and compelling musical contexts. In both his singing and his guitar playing, Tweedy has shunned the straight and narrow in favor of emotive attitude and gritty, trenchant tones, and established his presence as a modern legend in the process. In honor of his achievements in the broad spectrum from alternative country to experimental contemporary rock, Gibson USA introduces the Jeff Tweedy Signature SG ’61. This stunning rendition of the SG stays true to the specs of the inaugural year of this iconic guitar, with the decorative “Lyre” vibrato tailpiece cover, two of Gibson’s most accurate PAF-style humbucking pickups, and the rare and highly desirable Pelham Blue finish in hand-sprayed nitrocellulose lacquer. In short, it’s a beauty of an SG that looks every bit as good as it sounds.
The body of the Jeff Tweedy Signature SG ’61 is crafted from solid Grade-A mahogany in the classic asymmetrical “double-horned” deep double-cutaway design. A light and supremely resonant wood, mahogany gives this guitar outstanding tonal richness and depth, with plenty of clarity and sustain. Coupled with the SG’s characteristic beveled edge—a big part of this model's distinctive styling—the mahogany’s light weight also enhances playing comfort. The guitar’s quarter-sawn Grade-A mahogany neck is carved in a slim but rounded early ’60s profile that measures .800” at the 1st fret and .895” at the 12th, with a natural satin-finished back for a smooth playing feel. It is glued into the body with Gibson’s acclaimed deep set-neck joint, and topped with a fingerboard made from premium rosewood. Acrylic trapezoid fingerboard inlays, a mother-of-pearl Gibson headstock logo and holly inlay, and a cream pickguard all subtly enhance its style.
To help this vintage-inspired SG sound as good as it looks, Gibson USA loads the Jeff Tweedy Signature SG ’61 with a pair of BurstBucker 1 pickups with nickel covers, some of the most accurate PAF-styled humbuckers available today. Made with genuine unpolished Alnico II magnets, and wound with 42-AWG enamel-coated wire just like the originals, these pickups employ unequal turns of wire in each coil for that characteristic PAF bite and edge. The pair is wired through the traditional four-knob Gibson control section, with upgraded “Orange Drop” caps on the tone pots. For added playing versatility, the guitar also carries an authentic Maestro-style vibrato tailpiece with decorative Lyre cover, partnered with a Tune-o-matic bridge, with vintage-style Tone Pros tuners. Check out the Jeff Tweedy SG ’61 today at your authorized Gibson USA dealer, and grab a handful of classically alternative style and tone.
•Grade-A Mahogany body with high-gloss nitrocellulose finish
•Mahogany neck with slim, rounded early '60s profile
•Rosewood fingerboard with acrylic trapezoid inlays
•Pair of BurstBucker 1 humbucking pickups in the neck and bridge positions

A new member to the GARC racing circuit is Lobster Pride, a heavy weight racer piloted by two members of the Hardshell clan. With two wins in the season already, these two gentlecrustaceans are a promising pair for the podium this year!
Simon's been badgering me to build micro-GARCs since the fad started, so I finally caved and built one last week, I was only able to get around to stickering and posting it until now though.
Depending on time and sticker availability, more racers may be forthcoming!
