For my new folding project I have to fold modules, which will be connected. These modules remind me of eyes. These two were lying in the sun and I could not resist making this shot of these origami eyes;-))
Once assembled, 6 modules, it’s a sturdy model – and that’s without any glue! The nice thing about this model (apart from the folding, of course) is that it gives the illusion of a much larger modular model. Usually using six sheets, you end up with a cube shape.
The diptych shows the two different sides: on the left, it’s more like a face with large eyes on either side and a large nose – or is it a mouth;-))
On the right, the focus is on one module, so you can see the abstract pink design more clearly.
Happy Tuesday!

The B.A.P. Unión, a Peruvian ship, arrived To Vancouver, BC Canada, Thursday to commemorate 75 years of diplomatic relations between Canada and Peru.
One of the largest sailing ships in the world.
The tall ship — a traditional sailing vessel — serves as a training ship for Peruvian naval cadets. That country's government says it is the second largest training ship in the world.
The ship has 34 sails, and has a total sail area of more than 3,400 square metres. It houses 243 crew members.
BAP Unión is a training ship of the Peruvian Navy, built between 2012–2015 by Shipyard Marine Industrial Services of Peru, known as SIMA. It is a four-masted, steel-hulled, class "A" barque, composed of 38 steel modules. It has a total length (including bowsprit) of 115.50 m (378 ft 11 in);a beam of 13.50 m (44 ft 3 in); a draft of 6.50 m (21 ft 4 in); an air draft of 53.50 m (175 ft 6 in); a displacement of 3,200 metric tonnes; a speed of 12 knots (22 km/h) and a crew of 250 officers and trainees. The ship's name honors a Peruvian corvette that took part in the first stage of the 1879–1883 War of the Pacific as part of a naval squadron under the command of Miguel Grau, a hero of the Peruvian Navy.
I appreciate your visits & kind words of support. My thanks to you all, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography.

The most widely recognized landmark in Arches National Park in Utah, USA. A 'must-do hike' from the parking lot, it is the most photographed arch in the world. The original photo was one of my first submissions to Flickr (also in this Photostream). This version was taken with a Nikon F, 50mm -f1.4 Nikkor lens using Kodachrome ASA 25, about one hour before sunset. This version was processes using several modules of Topaz plug-ins.

This goes with the previous photo amongst the cotton fields near Corpus Christi, Texas. Taken across a neighboring field, the truck is hauling modules of compressed harvested cotton to the gin for cleaning and processing. The modules are huge, only eight of them fit on a 40 ft flatbed.
A microgravity pirate.
Flea Frames are designed specifically to operate in microgravity arcologies. The synthetic legs absorb impacts and provide instantaneous acceleration. They are equipped with a thruster module which provides long-range movement.

I wanted these to feel predatory and yet alluring. I imagined them mid-air, their turreted upper body locked onto their target while the limbs reoriented to land elegantly.

Thanks for the Favs and Comments! As a photo enthusiast it's a pleasure to be recognized by my peers. :-)
As part of the Portland Winter Light Festival 2022 the Oaks Amusement Park had the lights on for many of their rides both old and new. Although the rides weren't running, it offered you the chance to photograph the rides sans people. On this night the ride called Spider was missing the modules where you'd sit, making its legs even more spider like. OM3145
The rim of a large crater, with some smaller craters within. I originally planned to have this rim be at one end of my base, with the entire base inside the crater. But now I'm thinking of building parts of it outside, e.g. I have a few Windtraps that would make sense to have on the rim, to pick up the maximum amount of wind. Also, I have a force field barrier, that would make more sense to have on the outside than on the inside of the crater...
Coronado Beach — the lifeguard towers there remind me a little of the Apollo Lunar Module.

"This is a model of the Apollo Command Module, which carried a total of 27 astronauts to lunar orbit aboard nine missions between 1968 and 1972. Launched by a Saturn V rocket, the largest and most powerful rocket ever built, the Command Module was the only part of the spacecraft recovered at the end of a mission."

Alright Gentlemen, you know what we are here for. Recover that ACS module, and if you have to, shoot anyone who stands in our way.
So my big project is done. Here's a shot of me sitting behind all the various sections to give a sense of scale. If I can remember how all this goes back together (and I can find a vehicle big enough to carry it), this thing will be at BFVA 2014.
This shows part of a mock-up of the Columbus module of the International Space Station (ISS), located at the National Space Centre in Leicester, UK. The Columbus module is the primary research laboratory for the European Space Agency (ESA) on the ISS.
The interior of this mock-up highlights various scientific and operational racks used by astronauts in space:
Experimental Racks: These standardized cabinets house scientific equipment for research in areas such as biology, fluid physics, and material science.
Operational Equipment: The panels include a variety of control units, monitoring screens, and power supply interfaces necessary for maintaining the module's environment and systems.
Visual Indicators: Many modules feature labels like "Processing Unit" and include specialized components such as Large Area Picosecond Photodetectors (LAPPD), which are used for high-precision timing in imaging and physics experiments.
The real Columbus module was constructed in Turin, Italy, by Alcatel Alenia Space (now Thales Alenia Space) with functional equipment and software designed by EADS (now Airbus Defence and Space) in Bremen, Germany. The module was launched aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis on 7 February 2008, during mission STS-122. Columbus is operated by the Columbus Control Centre at the German Space Operations Center, part of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich. In 2008, ESA estimated the total cost of Columbus—including construction, ten years of operations, scientific experiments, and supporting ground infrastructure—at approximately €1.4 billion (£1.21 billion).
The National Space Centre in Leicester, is a museum and educational resource located on the north side of the city in Belgrave next to the River Soar. The prominent structure here is the Rocket Tower, which stands 42 meters tall with minimal steel supports and is clad in semi-transparent ETFE "pillows".
The National Space Centre covers the fields of space science and astronomy, along with a space research programme in partnership with the University of Leicester. Many of the exhibits, including upright rockets which are housed in the tower which has become one of Leicester's most recognisable landmarks. The National Space Centre contains the United Kingdom's largest planetarium. It is a registered charity with a board of trustees.

With the expanded workspace, the three modules can now be merged as one and an additional module will complete the facility...

Ancrée dans la vase sur ses frêles jambes,
la pêcherie devient mirage.
Soudain le réel bascule :
ce qui est maritime devient spatial.
Ce serait mon fond d’écran, si je ne l’avais pas sous les yeux tous les jours :) ! Ces images ont été prises lors de l’amarrage du Cygnus NG-16 le mois dernier et montrent quelques belles pièces de technologie spatiale. En haut sur la photo c’est le module gonflable BEAM, connecté au Node-3 où on trouve également la Cupola - dont les volets de protection étaient ouverts pour suivre de visu la capture du Cygnus. On me dit que le module cylindrique qui fait face à BEAM s’appelle Leonardo, mais franchement dans le métier je n’ai jamais entendu personne l’appeler autrement que PMM. Son ancêtre était utilisé comme soute à fret pour la navette spatiale (on l’arrimait à la station pour ensuite ouvrir le sas et décharger-recharger). Il s’est transformé en partie permanente de l’ISS depuis, on s’en sert pour stocker du matériel… et nos poubelles. En bas pour les observateurs : le module JEM / Kibo de la JAXA avec son autocollant « Japan ». Il possède une plateforme extérieure pour les expériences exposées au vide de l’espace, et même son propre bras robotique !
My kind of phone background! These images were taken during Cygnus NG-16 docking last month. What you are looking at are beautiful pieces of astounding and reliable space technology, the best humans have to offer! On the first image from the top you can see the Bigelow Expandable Air Module (yes, inflatable) connected to Node-3 that has Cupola on it (with the shutters open, for Cygnus docking robotic operations). The smoother cylinder is PMM (Leonardo) a now-permanent storage space that used to fly up and down with the Space Shuttle. In the background we have JEM, or Kibo as some call it, neatly branded with the JAPAN sticker, JAXA :) The part sticking out of JEM is the exterior platform that researchers can access through its mini-airlock.

My oldest surviving moc. It has been through many iterations, all before I found out about Bricklink so please excuse the Viking shields!
I've recently had time to rediscover my love of drawing after not having drawn properly for about a year. These are some sketches I've produced lately- some are from life while others are imaginary.
This Soviet capsule is made up; I imagine it as being an experimental module in the style of Vostok/Voskhod, created as a lead up to a secret lunar conspiracy program.
I made some minor modifications to my road module and build a second piece with some arrows, because in a future where cars drive themselves, you really seem to need arrows on the road according to my research.
The Lunar Module (LM) was a two-stage spacecraft built by Grumman that was the first vehicle designed to operate solely in the vacuum of space and designed to ferry two astronauts from lunar orbit to the Moon's surface and back. The "Eagle" was the specific lunar module used during the Apollo 11 mission, which was the first mission to land humans on the Moon on July 20, 1969. The mission fulfilled President John F. Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth before the end of the 1960s.
The descent stage of the Lunar Module, the lower section, remained on the Moon after the astronauts left. The ascent stage, which contained the crew compartment, lifted off from the Moon to rendezvous with the orbiting command module. Six of these descent stages remain at their landing sites on the Moon today.
This model is a display at the National Space Centre in Leicester, UK. This is a major highlight of the centre, which also houses a 42-meter-high rocket tower, the UK's largest planetarium, and other space-related galleries with interactive displays and artifacts. As well as this model of the Apollo Lunar Lander, there is a real moon rock collected during the Apollo 17 mission.
Module 15, this cliff was supposed to be a lot higher.
To save parts and time I made a smaller rock but the footprint is the same. Later I might revise this part.
My first ever GBC-module! Only took me around 6-7 years to finally get one done, haha! Anyways, hope you like it :) Check the video, it does actually work! youtu.be/SD7lMjUY234?si=PfMJ7c46OluOruLs
I've been working on this single scene for over 4 months now. I have the visible portions (minus the roof and a couple details) complete but I didn't like how a crossroads in the back simply stopped when it went out of view. So then I decided to add in more buildings (all fully detailed facades AND visible interiors) even in the areas not visible to the camera. So now the model has around 6500 parts and I still am thinking of more. (All part-color combos should be legal)
The sketches in the middle are some of my notes for this build. The builds around the edge are the more recent additions and none of them will be visible head on. I've also sketched a number of different custom stickers for added detail. 5 of them are shown here on the modules.
By the time I'm ready to populate this scene with figures, the animation feature may be public on Mecabricks. At that point, the scene should be expansive enough for me to make some interesting fly-throughs.
Finally, this scene will hopefully fit in the Hibernia universe. I'll be making use of my glowing-sign-technique that I tested here. And, when it is all complete, I'll make the model public.
