This was my first shot using the Elmarit objective my father gave me. He really was happy to see me enjoy photography. I'm still impressed by how much detailed it is, although quite tough to maneuver.
"The north pole of Saturn sits at the center of its own domain. Around it swirl the clouds, driven by the fast winds of Saturn. Beyond that orbits Saturn's retinue of moons and the countless small particles that form the ring. Although the poles of Saturn are at the center of all of this motion, not everything travels around them in circles. Some of the jet-stream patterns, such as the hexagon-shaped pattern seen here, have wavy, uneven shapes" - Cassini Imaging Team

Making up lots of 3-round flowers before I begin to make them into hexagons and join them together. Loving it!

I decided to fill in all the white spaces ... just to see what HAL would look like in his all-together. And, ta-da ... here he is!
Last time I counted, there were still around 25 blocks left to be pieced. I had hoped to have them done before we leave on summer vacation, but it's just not happening, so looks like HAL will be having a holiday with the Brindleys ... if I can just get his parts cut out by next Tuesday!
This view of Saturn's northern hexagon and polar vortex is made from images captured by Cassini on June 25, 2013. This is an approximate natural-color view (w/enhanced contrast) made from wide-angle camera images Cassini captured in visible light filters from a distance of about 635,000 km (394,000 miles).
Aperture blades and multiple reflections of the ceiling light.. Thank you in advance for all your views, favs and comments. HMM all.
This tessellation differs from most other designs by having lower rotational symmetry: only 180° rather than the 60° typical for tessellations based on a hex grid. This is more of a technique than a single pattern since each rhombus row can be substituted for a hexagon row. One way of looking at it is saying that a vertex of a rhombus can be extended into an edge, transforming the rhombus into a hexagon. In this particular work, central part is the more regular 1-1 (hexagons-rhombi) row arrangement while at the edges the 1-2 (1 row of hexagons followed by two rows of rhombi) pattern appears.
There are many ways of arranging the pleats on the back side. Here, I chose a fairly symmetric one which results in a nice layering on the front but also produces an interesting garland-like pattern on the back where there are two adjacent rows of rhombi (see the close-up image of back side — coming up on social media soon, or go to the model’s home page at origami.kosmulski.org/models/hexagons-and-rhombi to view it now).

Red Star

This was the rest of the paper I cutted from my roll of sandwich paper for the pinkish Stella Errare. So I folded these two little stars.
Note to mayself: I really should make a list of the dimensions of Carmen's stencils, instead of measuring each and every time I post something.
Hey everyone! I have been wanting to build a spaceship for a while now, so here it is!
This is not a SHIP/SHIP fail, since I actually started it during the Summer Joust in June,but wasn't able to finish it until recently, to "fill up" some space at the Brick66 expo in Banyuls-sur-Mer. I must say that I think it turned out pretty well, and I was surprised at how good the picture looks with the editing. Building this gave me a few sci-fi themed ideas, so I expect a few more swooshing MOCs are to come!
Feedback wanted as usual, especially from those who have more experience than me in building spaceships (don't worry, it's not difficult)!
