Bremen, Germany. Orion's European Service Module is loaded on the Antonov airplane for transport to Kennedy Space Center.
For the first time, NASA will use a European-built system as a critical element to power an American spacecraft, extending the international cooperation of the International Space Station into deep space. The European Service Module is a unique collaboration across space agencies and industry including ESA’s prime contractor, Airbus, and 10 European countries. The completion of service module work in Europe and shipment to Kennedy signifies a major milestone toward NASA’s human deep space exploration missions to the Moon and beyond.

The robust and powerful Power Rotary Tool - PRT is designed for cutting challenging fibrous materials inexpensively and reliably.
Mechanically finished LED flash module. The table tennis ball part works on reflective light, the 12 inch soft ball part as diffuser. The inner core has 38mm opening for the Mitutoyo lens. Inside the housing there are 12 power LEDs each 9V 700 mA peak. The table tennis ball has an opening of 14 mm enough for the Mitutoyo lens.

The island project started with this two year old MOC. Still acceptable and will be used as it is with the 11 other modules I plan to build.
Completed another module for the Labyrinth. By flipping a lever on the back of the module the floor pops up and the adventurers find themselves in the pit of vipers. More on the way.
Again, I apologize for the terrible quality of my phone camera. It's just so much more convenient for a quick picture.

A centrifuge module was part of the original ISS plan, but it was canceled due to budget constraints.
The outer shell can be seen at JAXA.
All the modules for the new setup 2009 to capture insects in flight are now ready. Just a few software adjusts now.
N scale town module -- various kits
Background
There is quite a tale about this module. This module was completed in 2006 while I was staying temporary at my parents. It was done just in time for Christmas as a static holiday display (imagine the guests going gaga over it). It was before the age of facebook and flickr which explains why I've never bothered to take pictures then. For the next 5 years this module sat under dust cover (garbage bags to be precise) as I moved to my own house. It has been in the supposèd hobby room since.
I haven't taken it out to display or played with it until now that I have restored some ordered to my hobby room -- which you'd see as the unadorned backdrop in these photos. With some minor rearranging and fixing of the disturbances from the move, you are now seeing this module for the first time in 5 years after it was first displayed to an invitation-only crowd.
Not the Full Story
Believe it or not this series of photos doesn't tell the full story. For nearly the entire length of this module there is an underground station underneath the town complete with platforms and four electrified tracks -- by that I mean live catenary. This is accessible from the back of this module. Altogether six tracks passes through this module.
Moreover, I have installed lights for the buildings and this module does light up. Unfortunately my ignorance with electricity means that I've taken out too many bulbs. This drastically decreased the life of the Christmas lights. Eventually I'll have to take the lights out for replacement. *yikes*
Why Winter?
Like most modules this was built on top of styrofoam blocks. I didn't intend this to be a winter module when I started out. But as I was running out of time to finish, the quickest way to hide blemishes was simply dusting the whole thing with "snow". This turned out perfect for a winter holiday scene.
It's gonna be a nightmare to remove the snow and plaster should I decide to change it back to a summer scene.
The City Space theme continues to inspire. I wanted to use the curved quarter panels as a windscreen, and by excellent luck had the matching curve plate in sand blue. From then on it was just a matter of mixing the design cues and colour scheme from the sets with my build.
Rather pleased with this, looks chunky and industrial near-future. The crane, while functional, can't lift the module without ripping itself apart. Oh well.
Probably won't take any more pictures of the module itself either, it's just an empty shell that seems to be more like a double-decker carriage on a scenic train than a science module. Some more work on that will be required, I think. But that's a problem for another time. I already have an idea for a larger build that will incorporate four of these modules.
Servo module, max 64 channels or 32 channels + 32 output leds as status line.
The servo motors are classified in 20 msec time slot. Each servo will have a time part of 2.5 msec, so 8 slots for a period of 20 msec. Each servo motor will have a max pwm pulse time of 2.5 msec. This results in a total of 64 units. If additional a status led are used, the number is limited to 32 servos+ 32 leds.
The upper picture shows a power plane for 16 servo motors. There are 2 separate power pins for the 5V servos. For now, I provide a 5V 4A power unit / power plane for 16 units.
This multiplexing greatly limits the number of I / O pins on the FPGA output side. Only 16 lines are needed for the 64 servos.

HO Scale - Free-Mo module built of two sections, representing the town of Stephentown, NY on the Rutland Railroad's Chatham "Corkscrew" Division.
A - Sheffield Milk Creamery (active 1914 - 1950)
B - E.B. Estes & Sons Storehouse (built before 1908)
C - E.R. Potter Feed Mill (built early 1900s)
D - Stephentown Depot Station (active 1870 to 1953, demolished 2011)
E - Vanderbilt Hotel (built 1871, possibly located on other side of the tracks, still researching. Current building at this location is listed as once being a "tavern", now a residential building.
F - E.R. Potter Lumber Shed (built early 1900s)
G - E.R. Potter Cole Bin (build early 1900s)
Other industries could include cattle and automobiles. At one time a cattle unloading station was located here, and in the 1930s, a Chevrolet dealership across the street from the team track unloaded cars via ramp at this location. Still researching exact locations of structures.

See the video of the "To and Fro" Lego GBC Module in action on YouTube:
Definition:
to and fro /ˌto͞o ən ˈfrəo͝o/
adverb - in a constant movement backward and forward or from side to side.
verb - move constantly backward and forward.
noun - constant movement backward and forward.
I wanted to design a GBC module that I hadn't seen done before. The main feature of this design uses a string and pulley system, with different levels of mechanical advantage implemented to get the movement and timing of the mechanisms just right.
High power color RGBW led driver module. This color module is used as background lighting. There are 4 channels one for each color. The max current is 700 mA/channel when the 4 elco's 4700uF each are charge to the max 19V. Thereafter, the current is kept lower, without limitation in time.
Voltage and power per channel with 4 leds in serie:
Red..... : 9.2V peak power = 6.44W
green : 14.8V peak power = 11.84W
Blue... : 14.0V peak power = 9.80W
White : 14.0V peak power = 9.80W
Total peak power ............... 37.88W
Input voltage module : 19V from an old laptop power supply.
