Wanted to post these boyos after getting my latest bootleg order from WM minifigures! Ordered WM’s dark red and black Heavy Mando variants and thought the shoulder-pads would be perfect for my Iron Man figures.

 

I erased the Star Wars designs on the shoulder pads and put them on these figures. I think it gives them just the right amount of bulk without going overboard.

 

What do you guys think? Comments and shares are always welcome!

"Who is this irresistible creature who has an insatiable love for the dead?"

 

Living Dead Girl!

 

"What are you thinking about?

What are you thinking about?"

"The same thing you are"

 

Rage in the cage

And piss upon the stage

There's only one sure way

To bring the giant down

Defunct the strings

Of cemetery things

With one flat foot

On the devil's wing

 

Crawl on me

Sink into me

Die for me

Living Dead Girl

Crawl on me

Sink into me

Die for me

Living Dead Girl

 

"What are you thinking about?

What are you thinking about?"

"The same thing you are"

 

Raping the geek

And hustling the freak

Like a hunchback juice

On a sentimental noose

Operation filth

They love to love the wealth

Of an SS whore

Making scary sounds

 

Crawl on me

Sink into me

Die for me

Living Dead Girl

Crawl on me

Sink into me

Die for me

Living Dead Girl

 

"What are you thinking about?"

 

Psyclone jack

Hallucinating hack

Thinks that Donna Reed

Eats dollar bills

Goldfoot's machine

Creates another fiend

So beautiful

They make you kill

 

Crawl on me

Sink into me

Die for me

Living Dead Girl

Crawl on me

Sink into me

Die for me

Living Dead Girl

 

Blood on her skin

Dripping with sin

Do it again

Living Dead Girl

Blood on her skin

Dripping with sin

Do it again

Living Dead Girl

Spent this Labor Day morning at the Idaho State Fair....and of course packed the camera around, trying very hard to get interesting shots or at least something different.....so here it is....what do you all think...

"The Washing Machine" is one of the many falls of "The Fairy Pools" in Glen Brittle, Isle of Skye. It is hardly surprising that these falls are so popular with tourists as they are spectacular and the mountain waters are coloured blue/green.

I have no idea who owns this bike...

A commissioned model to build a more movie-accurate model than the CUUSOO set. It has functioning doors and seats two minifigs...or a minifig and a dog ;)

Title: Gumball Machine (linocut)

Artist: Wayne Thiebaud 1970

 

So in the middle of June I noticed a bit more activity across the street with the Broadway Subway Project by Emily Carr University. They installed a massive crane back in May and they've now been dropping down some pieces of the first tunnel boring machine for assembly in the excavation by Great Northern Way. According to the Project's website each TBM weighs one million kilograms or the equivalent of 333 elephants. Each machine will also be 6 meters wide and 150 meters long. So they've got lots of work to do before they can actually start tunnelling. To get this shot I was just able to get my lens through some of the security fencing along what was once Thornton Street.

If a neighborhood establishes itself as an art community shouldn't it's entire space, with all of the contents, be art? Including the ATM's??

 

Here's one of several "enhanced" ATM's located in the Alberta Arts District of Portland, Oregon.

As all of you have been loving the Arcade machines, here is a shot of all those I've made so far.

 

This has been a long running project. And it's important to say that while these are all my creations, there was a lot of inspiration from many other talented builders. There's really only so many ways you can build these at minifig scale. For instance; I didn't come up with the idea of the upside down slope for the skeeball machine, that was inspired by a talented build on LEGO Ideas (in review atm) And I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if there's an identical claw machine out there (how many ways can you do a box, windows and claw at top?) We but stand on the backs of giants.

 

Next step for this project is a pinball machine, and then a range of stickers for the cabinets (yes, those are my illustrations, and making them work at this scale is one of the challenges) And then a larger building to bring them together. Not sure what that last will look like, but not Flynn's. Something else, and suggestions are welcome.

My custom Ultimate Machine (also known as a useless machine) built using the new Mindstorms EV3. You really have to watch the video to see what it does, otherwise it's just a pretty black box with a switch on it.

 

watch the video

 

see what's inside

 

Building instructions and the Mindstorms project file can be found on my website: www.truedimensions.com/instructions

 

The LuuMa EV3 is a bit more elaborate than the typical ultimate machine, featuring 6 different responses for turning the switch off and 2 evasive maneuvers for trying to prevent the switch from being turned on in the first place.

 

I had a blast building this one, and programming the different responses. Not to mention playing with it once it was complete. I can't wait to put it out at a show and watch people interact with it.

 

I've been pretty impressed with the EV3, although I have encountered the odd glitch or two with both the hardware and software. Hopefully these get ironed out in future updates.

Well ... slightly twisted anyway.

 

Strobist: Two umbrellas behind me (I'm the subject today) left and right, pointed straight down. Thaz it. Both strobes triggered wirelessly.

Bike Night takes place every Tuesday night between April and September and sees the “bikers” cruising into town!

 

Poole Quay is closed off to all traffic and is taken over by a stream of shiny, gleaming, (and sometimes noisy!) bikes.

 

Bikers from all over the country come here to show off their beautiful machines, meet up with fellow enthusiasts and compete for “Bike of the night”.

This old abandoned '62 Chevy Impala in the ghost town of Rhyolite, Nevada reminded me of the old Chevy in the Cheech and Chong movie "Up In Smoke." And, with the graffiti on the car that I think says "Love Me", I couldn't resist titling this image "Love Machine."

D18033. With the prospect of a war against Nazi Germany becoming more and more likely during the late 1930s, it was decided that a place of safety needed to be found where the Government and military leaders could carry out their vital tasks in the event of an aerial bombardment.

 

Storage rooms in a London basement under some Government buildings were therefore hastily converted into office and living accommodation where the Prime Minister and his staff could work in safety. These became known as the Cabinet War Rooms and they are now open to the public as a permanent museum and memorial to wartime leader Winston Churchill.

 

Amongst the many artefacts on display is this German four rotor Enigma cipher machine.

I wanted to see a new waterfall today and it has got to where I have to drive over a 100 miles to do that as of lately. So I decided to check out Machine Falls in Tennesee because I have had several people tell me how awesome it was. They were not kidding especially with the icicles there. However if visiting you will probably have to wade across the creek to get to the easier access. And folks wonder why I hike in shorts and flip flops.....

Samyang 8mm f/3.5 Fish Eye. HDR whit 7 Exposures

Smaller than my first one, which was not actually built at minifigure scale.

The Bashnag Machine Rifle is a heavily modified Bashnag Auto. It is modified to feed via belt through the top of the slide. Spent shells are ejected through the magazine well and spent belt links are ejected out of the side of the rifle. It was designed to provide a light support weapon. It has a rate of fire of 645 rpm.

Dry sump under teh split window. The owner told me they had to run the oil pump with a battery powered pulley tool and spark plugs removed before starting the engine each time, so that the oil would be back in that tank and not hydro lock the engine on startup. But it's obviously all worth it in a 1963 Corvette race car.

Since 1980 around 60,000,000 people have been killed by, and in, road vehicles. Roughly the same as the dead of WW2.
