It was new moon last night. When I arrived at the site it was very cloudy and I didn't have much hope to shoot starscapes. I waited there patiently for a couple of hours and the sky suddenly cleared up at 2:00a.m.. This shot was taken just before the dawn when the milky way was at the highest position in the sky just as I planned.
As a response to the devastating assault launched by the infected Blacktron forces in 2020, the IDC were prompted to develop a new class of Mecha weaponry.
The R&D department was given only one instruction: *** ALL THE GUNS! ***
And thus, the T-REX was born.
T-REX: Tactical Response to Extreme Xenophobia
Technical Specs:
2 main laser cannons, 2 detachable rocket pods, 2 rotary guns, 2 heavy artillery, 2 mixed-use launchers, anti-infantry undercarriage system, and detachable anti-air defenses. Seating two pilots to share the responsibility of driving and destruction, this beast is a FORCE to be reckoned with!

I am honored to have already earned a Committee's Choice Award at our local Bricks Cascade BrickNic for this MOC, and look forward to sharing it in full-action-glory at the next in-person convention in 2022!
The Solar-Powered Interstellar Drone for Extraterrestrial Research (S.P.I.D.E.R.) is finally completed at the 'Moonbase Celebration 50'.
With onboard intelligence, a formidable assortment of tools, and unlimited renewable power, this endlessly useful companion is sometimes referred to as 'GRAMPS' - Giant Robotic Assistant & Mobile Power Station (especially by arachnophobic astronauts).
Future missions will be accompanied by these units, to aid in planetoid habitability investigation and geo/bio research. Manipulator arms, coupled with highly advanced sensors allow this drone to examine samples, move debris, haul equipment, and even carry out rescue operations for astronauts in danger.
Fully capable of traversing uneven terrain, and repelling into crevaces with it's winch, this robotic research assistant can go just about anywhere on atmospheric and non-atmospheric terrestrial landscapes.
Prepare to give Space exploration a leg-up (or six!) and take your celestial crew to a whole new level of awesome adventure with a giant (robot) S.P.I.D.E.R. on board!

This MOC has been a journey, developing a seamless transition through System and CCBS/Bionicle elements. With adjustable Greebles to simulate actuators. Fully articulated through each leg, the model is stable, poseable, and quite dynamic (in-environment shots coming soon!).
The features include: adjustable solar arrays, whiskers, and rear hitches, poseable manipulator arms (3), legs with up to 12+ points of articulation each + working shock absorption, opening hatch to reveal central core, storage for a large assortment of space tools, and a working winch (which can support the full weight of the build).

Thanks for checking it out, I hope you enjoy it!
Classic Science Fiction 70's Art - The interstellar Queen
Here is my tribute to classic Science Fiction Art of the 70’s. I remember the gorgeous spaceship art on book covers from that period which eventually led me to picking up Steward Cowley’s book Spacecraft 2000 to 2100 AD. Essentially an ensemble of fantastic space art from talented visual artists, which Cowley cleverly presents in a believable historical reference guide. For me, one ship stood out from the rest, the space liner Interstellar Queen.
And here it is presented in Lego form, my build of artist Angus Mckie’s graceful swan like space liner from the book. I’ve tried to capture the classic lines of the ship without altering too much of Mckie’s original design. I was a little apprehensive at first about the boxy nature of the hull, but seeing the finished model, I think she does have a certain charm about her. I had to make some changes to the rear of the ship and engine placement. This was due in part to the shaping of the Lego hull. The original technical drawing of the rear of the Interstellar Queen can be found in the book.
Specification of the Lego model
Length : 63cm
Width : 32cm
Height : 20cm (excluding base)
Build time : 1.5 months
The model is displayed in a space dock setting at her intended flight angle. Docking clamps hold her in place. I would have liked landing gear, but that made the model very unstable. The dock setting provides more stability.
Explanation: Sculpted by stellar winds and radiation, a magnificent interstellar dust cloud by chance has assumed this recognizable shape. Fittingly named the Horsehead Nebula, it is some 1,500 light-years distant, embedded in the vast Orion cloud complex. About five light-years "tall", the dark cloud is cataloged as Barnard 33 and is visible only because its obscuring dust is silhouetted against the glowing red emission nebula IC 434. Stars are forming within the dark cloud. Contrasting blue reflection nebula NGC 2023, surrounding a hot, young star, is at the lower left. (text: apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap100513.html)

I have just returned from a week on the Isle of Wight. Whilst there I decided to head out a couple of times to see if I could capture the Milky Way. There is so little light pollution on the south of the island, and with no moon the conditions proved favourable.
I am grateful for an comments you may wish to leave.
Interstellar Pelican Cloud Covers Sun Spans Tampa Bay Florida - IMRANâ„¢
We all often recognize animal shapes or human faces in the shapes of clouds that form and dissiipate above us every day. But sometimes the shapes can be so specific it makes me wonder. I often see general bird shapes, sometimes doves, and eagles. But a pelican?! There is absolutely no tweaking done to try to make a pelican shape. This is exactly how the cloud formation was in front of across Tampa Bay, as this massive god of interstellar pelicans seemed to cover the sun and span the width of Tampa Bay. You can make out the white caps in the water on this very windy day. I have one purely unedited image of the same pelican cloud. But this one was made from 4 Nikon D300 photos providing a lot more detail and smoothness of colors if you zoom in.

Joined by four other talented Flickrites, I took pictures of my 501st Legion buddies yesterday morning walking through downtown Portland. Even the evil Empire supports mass transit! No better way to get to the detention block in the morning. :-)
Traveled to deep space into the Lockman Hole region to photograph this Launchpad for alien spacecrafts. Stopped off at an unnamed planet's moon orbiting the star Alcor for dinner. The alien restaurant was ok. The food was great, but the place had no atmosphere. :P
Those aren't mountains. They're waves.
Okay, apparently I'm not done with Interstellar yet. Instagram's format preferences kind of forced me to make a 4th scene so I chose Miller's planet and was really satisfied with how nice the Ranger turned out at ~1:175. The scene itself was rather quick work, but that simple glass plate worked way better than the thousands of loose trans-black tiles I originally planned to use for the water surface.
