Itty bitty Rolling Thunder! Man I am just having too much fun with my KNight frame!
This time doing something in my Fav scheme, DBley and Orange, I wanted to do something a little extreme for a variant, then while I was fiddling with my MiniFig Snowmobile I realized I had a way to do tracks on a pretty small scale, so why not? Had to do things a bit differently from the Original Rolling Thunder, mainly had to ditch the Quad guns cause I couldn't think of a good way of doing them(but now that I type this an idea hits me, and I packed up my LEGO already xD) but I kept the shoulder mounted missiles and added some Back mounted cannons.
All in all I really like it, fits in nice with my Trio of Basic KNight Frames.
A wet grizzly in the wild searching below the tide line for food. By all accounts the salmon run coming though Knights Inlet this year is down 80-90% so the bears are quite thin for this time of year and having to range further afield for food. North American Brown Bear or Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis). Knight Inlet, British Columbia, Canada.

Built in 1872, the Knight Foundry predated electricity. Water piped from a Mother Lode flume spun old-fashioned turbines, the biggest nearly 4 feet across.
A system of shafts and buffalo-hide drive belts transferred power throughout the factory to 60 different machines. Knight Foundry is America's last water-powered 19th-century ironworks. Closed for over a decade, the Foundry finally reopened to temporary public visitation. The group tasked with protecting and interpreting the factory recently raised the $300,000 necessary to continue its legacy. I am so happy that it is here to share the history. Let's keep supporting the foundry.
Here are my Character Building knights with some of my Lego knights. The Character Building knights are just a bit taller than the Lego knights. The Lego knights helmets and breastplates come off but the Character Building knights helmets are the heads. The Character Building knights have nice cloaks that can be taken off.

Situated in the southern part of the West Coast of New Zealand, Knights Point is an example of native bush meeting the rugged coast line. A popular spot to take in the view.
Went with dark blue at the very very end, though regular blue looks great too. Artorias is a Dark Souls (the videogame) boss, and my favorite character from that game (which I have never played, mind you)!
Tried to replicate his damaged, beaten up self on a tiny scale, given the NEW LDD PATCH!!!
It's still missing stuff I'd like to see, but Praise the Sun anyway! :P

Indeed , the Tourney is about to start and Sir Fights Alot will be taking on Sir Chops Alot !!
That is really their names as sold by English Heritage .
We saw these two characters whilst visiting Pevensey Castle and with our family history could not resist them .
Tournament, also called tourney, series of military exercises, probably of medieval French origin and confined to western Europe, in which knights fought one another to display their skill and courage. Tournaments had become more pageantry than combat by the end of the 16th century, and the term is still used somewhat in this sense—for instance, in the Royal Tournament, an annual naval and military display held in London, and the New Year’s Day Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena, California.
In the early 20th century, the word tournament also came to be applied to certain methods of conducting sports competitions. In the most common modern tournament, the contestants are matched in pairs, with the losers in each test eliminated and the winners paired anew until only one remains as the champion of the tournament. In some tournaments, called double-elimination tournaments, the contestant is not eliminated until defeated a second time. In a third form, called a round robin, each contestant opposes every other contestant and the one with the highest percentage of victories is declared the champion.
The tournament in its earliest form apparently originated in France about the middle of the 11th century. Several chroniclers credit a French baron, Geoffroi de Preully, with having invented tournaments.
The early tournament was a mock battle between two bodies of armed horsemen and was called the mêlée. (This term is also applied to a predecessor of modern football [soccer]. See mêlée.) Later came the joust, a trial of skill in which two horsemen charged each other with leveled lances from either end of the lists (the palisades enclosing the jousting ground), each attempting to unhorse the other; the mêlée, however, continued side by side with it.
About 1292 a Statutum Armorum (“Statute of Arms”) enacted that swords with points were not to be used (nor were pointed daggers, clubs, or maces). Fallen knights were to be helped up only by their own squires, wearing their heraldic device. The squire who offended was to lose horse and arms and be imprisoned for three years. Disputes were to be settled by a court of honour of princes and earls.
Some tournaments were harmless and some rough. For the Tournament of Peace held at Windsor Park, England, in 1278, the sword blades were of whalebone and parchment, silvered; the helms of boiled leather; and the shields of light wood. At others, however, contestants were often killed or wounded. Blunted, or rebated, lance points came into use early, and by the 14th century a crown-shaped coronal head was often fitted in place of the point.
By the 1400s, jousters usually ran their courses separated by a cloth-covered barrier, or tilt, to prevent the collision of their horses. Armourers began to devise special armour that was heavier and less flexible than armour for the field, being used only for tilting.
In the 16th century, fighting on foot at the barrier with short spears became popular. Poleaxes also were used, and there were mounted combats with swords or maces. Prizes were presented to the victors by ladies.
In continental Europe, lists were jealously closed to all combatants except those of noble birth. In the German lands, questions as to the purity of descent of a candidate for admission to a noble order were often settled by appeal to an ancestor’s having taken part in a tournament.
The tournament eventually degenerated into the carrousel, a kind of equestrian polonaise, and the more harmless sport of tilting at a ring. In modern times there have been occasional romantic revivals, the most famous perhaps being the tournament at Eglinton Castle, in Scotland, in 1839, described in Disraeli’s novel Endymion (1880). Later tournaments were theatrical reenactments.
William Marshal " The Greatest Knight of All Time " excelled at The Tourney and played a part in English history , he played a part in Magna Carta , repelled an invasion from France and ruled as Regent after the death of King John , quite a man . His is buried in Temple Church in London where his tomb can be seen .
Built for PhLUG's Mech Wars event under the Knights faction.
Armed with a mace to strike opponents, this mech is protected by heavy shoulder, forearm and leg armor.

there is now a permanent exhibition on the Knights Templar in Papa Luna's (Benedict XIII) castle at Peñiscola.
The Anti Pope found refuge in the Templar fortress during the Great Schism.
“An old knight is enjoying his retirement and pursuing his hobbies after years of battles and quests.” Howdy flickr! I’ve built with Lego for as long as I can remember, but I’ve only recently gotten back into it, and this is the first castle MOC I’ve built in a long time. I would appreciate any comments or feedback, hope you enjoy!

Another Figbarf! This time it's a medieval one with some brave and noble knights from different kingdoms.
Fun in the sun yesterday at Bodelwyddan castle, North Wales. A jousting tournament, with lots of stalls, and fun for the children. They really enjoyed the jousting, cheering for the good knight. ( this one was the baddie... )
This car is one of the first purpose-built petrol-driven vehicles to run on public roads in Britain. John Henry Knight of Farnham, Surrey had this experimental car built by local engineer George Parfitt in 1895. It originally had three wheels. In 1896 the car was fitted with a revised engine and converted to four wheels. It was demonstrated at the Crystal Palace Motor Exhibition organised by the Self-Propelled Traffic Association.
The 1865 and 1878 Locomotive Acts imposed many restrictions upon the use of powered vehicles on Britain’s roads. These included the four miles per hour speed limit (two mph in town). In October 1895 Knight and his assistant James Pullinger were stopped in Farnham’s main street for breaking these laws. He was fined a half crown plus 10 shillings costs – the first motoring offence in Britain.

The Poor Knights Islands are on the east coast of New Zealand. Named by Captain Cook, it is thought he named them as they look liked a Knight lying dead in the water. 90 second exposure
I feel as if I were a piece in a game of chess, when my opponent says of it: That piece cannot be moved.
Hell Knight: transforms fluidly from a Nintendo 64 game cartridge of Castlevania, to mechanical Hell Knight enemy, and back! Thanks to the advent of Mixels ball and socket joints, I can make my LEGOformers much more articulated and compact. When in cartridge mode, this can fit snugly into the game slot of Ultra Hexacon: the transforming Nintendo 64. When Ultra Hexacon was first released, I created two transforming game cartridges to accompany it: Mecha Kong and Hot-Shot (Donkey Kong 64 and GoldenEye 007, respectively). However a third transforming game cartridge was built but never released: Link 2.0, who transformed into a gold cartridge of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Although Link 2.0 was completed, I ran into problems with applying his game label, which interfered with inserting his cartridge into Hexacon’s game slot. For some reason, his sticker kept peeling off when inserting the game, thus I omitted from the photo shoot due to time constraints. My idea was to eventually retool Link 2.0 to have better clearance for the game slot, but unfortunately I abandoned the project
In early 2016 I decided to pick up where I left off and complete Link 2.0 — however, with its new retooling and transformation cycle, it was impossible for me to have the creation made predominantly of metallic gold pieces, thus I was stuck with having the outer cartridge mainly with the traditional light grey. This meant I had no choice but to base this off a different Nintendo 64 title; after debating back and forth between using Castlevania 64 and Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (two of my favorite titles), I opted to build games of both — hence, the creation of its counterpart Robo Fett.
For making this model in particular, one of the toughest obstacles was making the arches on top of the cartridges: when transformed into robot mode, the arches are on the bottom of the feet, which make the robot have trouble standing up. To fix this, the robot’s legs have retractable toes built with hinge plates. The game’s labels were printed on glossy card stock paper and cut apart with scissors, then glued onto the outer tiles. During production of this model, I considered using the LEGO werewolf minifig’s head the robot’s head, which would make this a game cartridge of Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness. I couldn’t obtain the proper piece in time, thus I opted to use a knight helmet and just settled for making this robot based on the standard Castlevania villains.
This is my LEGO adaptation of the Batmobile from the upcoming Arkham Knight game. It's not perfect, but I'm super happy with it. It is a little rounder in some parts, but I feel like it captures the essence of the Batmobile well. Unfortunately, in order to make it structurally strong, it cannot seat a minifig.
