Without a shutter, the image sensor captures, in intervals, the rotation of the propeller for a VERY cool effect!
This titanic terror is transfixed on traumatizing tens of thousands...not really, he's honestly just looking for a good time, has a nice personality and is a Sagittarius.
12" tall...and if you're seeing a wild, color background - yep, *cinnamon shot it!

If you click, "All Sizes" above the photo and view this large, you can see many signatures on the right-most blade. Talk about neat stuff you can find with your camera!
A refold of my older design, Stacked Propellers Tessellation. There is a similar pattern designed by Ilan Garibi, called Bagan or Pagodas.
I saw this fenced propeller while walking to the Merseyside Maritime Museum in Liverpool, England, but had no idea what it was or why it would be there. Approaching it, I saw a sign that identified it as one of the propellers from the RMS Lusitania. I was mesmerized by what I saw, and spent about 5 minutes beside it. I don't think that anyone else came by to see it during the time that I was there.
A sign beside the propeller reads as follows:
"This propeller was one of four from the Liverpool based passenger liner RMS Lusitania (1907). She sailed between Liverpool and New York until she was torpedoed by the German submarine U-20 on 7 May 1915 with the loss of 1,201 lives. Lusitania and her sister ship Mauretania were owned by Liverpool's Cunard Line and carried passengers and mail on regular services to the USA. Lusitania held the Blue Riband for the fastest crossing of the Atlantic by a passenger vessel, making the journey in under 4.5 days. This propeller was fitted in 1909 to improve her speed*.
Lusitania continued her transatlantic run after the outbreak of World War I until she was torpedoed and sank in under twenty minutes, off the coast of southern Ireland. People were outraged by the deliberate targeting of a passenger ship and Lusitania's fate still causes controversy today."
*Lusitania originally had three-bladed propellers, per the sign.
The following information appears on the website of the nearby Merseyside Maritime Museum:
"This 15 ton, four-bladed propeller is one of four which drove the Cunard liner Lusitania across the Atlantic on her tragic final voyage in May 1915. It was the most complete of the three salvaged from the wreck off Southern Ireland in 1982 and was purchased by the Merseyside Maritime Museum in 1989. The propeller has been displayed on the museum’s historic quaysides ever since. Each year on 7 May, the anniversary of the sinking of the ship by the German submarine U-20**, a service of commemoration is held at the propeller for the 1200 victims of this incident."
**I've read elsewhere that the U-20 was used to sink 36 other ships. In 1916, it went aground after sustaining engine damage, and was destroyed by its crew.

Today in Georgetown, TX, the EAA was flying their B-17 out of the local airport. I just happened to see it as I was out trying to get some landscapes, but this looked way more interesting. This is a shot of the propeller on engine #1 I believe.
You can see more of their beautiful plane at their website.
This shows one of the four bladed propellers of the Mauretania, manufactured by Wallsend Slipway & Engineering Company Limited (as can be seen on one of the blades to the right).
The Mauretania was built by the shipbuilders Swan Hunter and Wigham Richardson Ltd, at the Wallsend shipyard and was one of the most famous ships ever built on Tyneside

My most recent Doll! Or so it was when I took this pictures, now that I'm "free" I have come up with a few more =P But still she's one of the newest!
I wanted to use a more unique angle of perspective for this one, like I did with Mixi, so I tried to focus her build on a 45º angle of the bricks. I think I got a pretty nice result, I really like that head =D
Propeller wasn't even conceived at first as I had already a design using propellers (Doll Copter, though I doubt I'll ever build her as it's too big), but this month the Flickr Lego community was filled with a lot of those ballon petal parts, due to several challenges as I discovered later. But back then I thought it was some kind of tendency and I wanted to join, so I came with the idea of using them as a ribbon. It was too gappy and simple though, but suddenly I thought of putting airscrews inside. From there, the build was very straight foward.
I really love when I got this kind of "sudden builds" right =D
