Salamander elite pilots use the Nautilus SP-350 as a deep sea exploration submarine ship. Its technology is based on the close observation of cephalopods in general, and the Chambered Nautilus in particular.
The right balance between swift movement (both activated by propellers and jet propulsion), an assortment of visual, chemical and gravity sensors, and high camouflage skills makes it the perfect vehicle for inconspicuous observation of the deep sea biomes.
Pilots often take pride in decorating their own machine with rare customized parts made of copper and gold, coral powder and opal moonstones.

This is my very first attempt at building a ship slash mollusk, or any type of vehicle for that matter, out of Lego.
Its name and inspiration actually comes from the sea creature more than the famous fictional Jules Verne's submarine, although the steampunk background was definitely in my mind while building it.
It's been great fun getting accustomed to this new logic and finding new solutions to new problems. Being able to hold the model in my hands while building it was pretty neat too. And the use of a minimal number of parts is both exciting, because it's a fast building pace, and stressing because you can't rely on mass to cover mistakes.
I'll definitely try my hands at another ship model soon, and try to make those damned canopy gaps disappear.
The model sits on a stand from which it can be lifted, and can be swooshed if need be.
Very curious to know what you think of this thing! - Cheers

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.
Also delayed due to having no working engines, no propeller blades, no landing gear, no fuel and no crew!
This is a vintage Hawker-Siddeley 748 turboprop airliner. Built in 1962 for national carrier Aerolineas Argentinas. In 1976 she returned to the UK and flew in service for Dan-Air London. In 1992 she was registered to Emerald Airways (Liverpool) flying mainly to Ireland, until retired in 2006.
Now owned by the Speke Aerodrome Heritage Group. On static display here at the former Speke Airport, Liverpool, along with the vintage USAF Clarktor-6 aircraft tug in the foreground. Dan-Air merged with British Airways in 1992. Emerald Airways ceased operations in 2006.

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

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
The first nuclear submarine, the Nautilus, was built across the river at Mare Island, California. This memorial propeller sits on the waterfront in Vallejo, California.
Most of the early nuclear-powered submarines were built here at Mare Island, across the river from Vallejo. The Nautilus was the first submarine to travel under the North Pole.
Rising to the occasion ... air show by wings & propellers ... this spring day in Brisbane, QLD Australia.

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 1191 victims of this incident.

The light of the setting sun brought a golden glow to the propeller of a fishing boat that was being repaired in Yarmouth. The photo has been copied and mirrored to create this symmetrical image.
Douglas DC-3, C-47, Dakota, a flying legend.
The Douglas DC-3 is a propeller-driven airliner which had a lasting effect on the airline industry in the 1930s/1940s and World War II. It was developed as a larger, improved 14-bed sleeper version of the Douglas DC-2. It is a low-wing metal monoplane with conventional landing gear, powered by two radial piston engines of 1,000–1,200 hp (750–890 kW). (Although most DC-3s flying today use Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp engines, many DC-3s built for civil service originally had the Wright R-1820 Cyclone. The DC-3 has a cruise speed of 207 mph (333 km/h), a capacity of 21 to 32 passengers or 6,000 lbs (2,700 kg) of cargo, and a range of 1,500 mi (2,400 km), and can operate from short runways.

About the model:
Following my Catalina model it came natural to build my DC-3 to the same scale, 1:72.
The model is my LEGO representation of the last airworthy DC-3 / C-47 in Denmark, belonging to the non-profit association DC-3 Vennerne (Danish Dakota Friends).
It wasn't particular difficult to build, but still had a few challenges, and it follows many of the same techniques used for my other models, e.g. the wing dihedral is made in the same way as my N.A.Harvard, with a basic hinge on top of the wing-panel, and a finger hinge on the lower side, that isn't fully interlocked and prevent the outer wing-panels from ”falling” down. For the leading edge de-icer panels, the new curved 1x1 brick came in very handy. The most difficult part was getting the nose-profile right, but I'm very happy how it came out!
As always, comments and critisism are more than welcome!

This Kabinenroller is powered by a huge propeller and with the skids it can drive on frozen lakes and snow tracks.

A tiny seed in my backyard. I was working on the gardening and came across this weed I had previously photographed. A different treatment than my first go 'round.
Happy Sunday all!
