Her trusted getaway ride, endlessly overpowered and legendary fast; no wonder no one can catch up with her.
This is a view of the underside; no studs and (almost) no anti-studs here as well.
DB4 “Sketto” Gunship Quadcopter
Concept
My motivation behind this thing comes from the many inspiring drawings at the Concept-Ships blog, and the theme itself is an integration of actually three themes: First a foremost the evolution of the Bell H1 Huey, second is Road Warrior and then Star Wars! You may also notice a big influence of other aircraft: Bell 47 Chopper, F9C Sparrowhawk / USS Macon, F-4 Phantom, B-25, 1960’s U.S. Navy paint schemes. Its roll is in Patrol, Defensive, Support, Heavy Lift and Re-Supply. Operations are undertaken in Gas Planet Mining Colonies. No land = no landing gear. Instead it hooks off a large Mother Ship (Airship).
Fun Facts
-107 Brickarms
-1600+ Bricks
-32 Feet of Tubing
-275 DBG Minifig Hands
-Took 3 months to build.
-“Sketto” A four winged blood sucking Star Wars creature.
Construction
-Main construction is made from the tubing and large panels, any bricks used are for the engines and detailing. Lego sail cloth and string are used in the fuselage. Decal / Sticker material used throughout.
-Panels are Light BLY with both the inner and outer sides cover in large full custom decals.
-The fuselage is all tubular construction with Lego sail cloth underneath. To help hold it in place, string runs along the inside of the tubing. The rear engine heat shield is also Lego sail cloth covered in an aluminum sticker material.
-Engines can tilt forward and back 75 deg, and in and out 25 deg.
-Weapons bay hold two ADC500 500lbs “Blockbuster” (Atmospheric Depth Charges)
-Rocket pods hold 28 BR-9X 60lbs “Shrike” Short Range Heat Seeking Missile (4 Pods)
-Docking Hook can be extended. This works like the F9C Sparrowhawk / USS Macon did in 1930’s. While in the Navy I worked in the hanger for the USS Macon, as well as the Mythbusters!
On September 17th 2059, infamous bandit Ivy Cash robbed the Mesa Verde bank in Peralta, NM. As usual, she shook off any pursuers – man and drone – to disappear in the desert she knew so well. Since that day, nobody ever heard of her. Until today.
Behind the scenes:
The character of Ivy Cash started off as a female heroine my wife made with parts from build-a-minifig at the local LEGO store. Her radiant take-no-cr**, give-no-sh** attitude intrigued me … and to no one’s surprise she became a gangster. The southern theme developed as a nod to the Breaking bad/Better Call Saul franchise; avid fans might even pick up one or two easter eggs in the description. There is one MOC about her that I made a while ago (flic.kr/s/aHsme9QY8Y), and this new one represents the ending I feel her story deserves; I hope that there will be more prequels to follow …

Steampunk air-dreadnought.
I'd love to see someone make a drone shell like this; I can just see a Revell plastic kit being mashed together with a largeish commercially-available drone. It'd be awesome!
In the meantime, LEGO.

Our development pool. Bored, so got out before sunset today...Figured I get a shot before it starts to fill up with people.
I have been a very good boy, so Santa is going to bring me a quadcopter for Christmas, or maybe a rail and dolly system for video. I'm getting amped (gotta know the lingo) for timelapse, so I've started to learn some new software.
Gunther Wegner's LRTimelpase takes camera raw files and lets you adjust a sequence for smooth video. It uses Lightroom for changing attributes of individual frames and then performs smooth interpolation for intermediate frames.
I took this sequence off the porch a few days ago using the D7000 and the Sigma 10-20 at 12mm, wide open. One frame every 30 seconds for about 2.5 hours. The first frame was ISO100 at 1/250. Every few minutes I checked the exposure and when it got to one stop under, I readjusted it to one stop over. first by decreasing the shutter speed and finally by raising the ISO. The last frame in the series was 20 sec. at ISO1600. There was an almost full moon.
What LRTimelapse does is to automatically smooth the transitions in shutter speed and ISO in a smooth manner. You can also intervene in the process to change any attribute of a key frame, such as tint, brightness, contrast, etc.
This technique is what Gunther calls "the Holy Grail of time lapse photography".
Once you get the hang of it, it is easy and works well. LRTimelapse is also useful for deflickering a time lapse sequence.
It's good. I recommend it.
This isn’t the best quality photo, but it is pretty damn cool. This was my 4th of July roof party this year. You can see me standing off to the side with the remote in hand.
Well, there was never really ONE time, there have been many. But this one, I can say honestly, was not my fault. We had the DJI Inspire up. It was an early demo model and we never really had great firmware for it. We were going to fly towards the windmills, but about 2 minutes into the flight, we lost control. I mean, literally. We could not see it, but it was still broadcasting a live feed with GPS. It took another half hour, but apparently, it went about 10 miles away and landed itself perfectly. One strange thing, however, it landed right beside by a dead cow… I assume the death of the cow was not related to the quadcopter, but I cannot be sure.

Not having any real subject matter in mind, I decided to take my Quadcopter up to 400 feet over Naperville for a little look-see. It's amazing to see just how many trees there are around here. It should make for an interesting Autumn look.
The weather was unseasonably nice so I decided to take some quadcopter shots of the Art Museum area.
Altitude: 370ft.
Taken with DJI Mavic Pro.

“The Menace of the South“ they call her. Ivy Cash may well be the most notorious bandit – and arguably the best quadcopter pilot – between El Paso and Santa Fe of the 2050s. All attempts to apprehend her have failed so far; out in the desert she manages to shake off even the most advanced pursuit drones over and over again.

The Quadcopter was operated by LS(HM)'s Sam Brown and Richard Walton.
HMS Protector is currently deployed in the Ocean carrying out inspections of fishing vessels within the Ross Sea under the auspices of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). The fishing vessels are in search of species of fish uniquely found in the Southern Ocean such as Toothfish.

Finally got the nerve up to fly the DJI Quadcopter drone aerial cam out over open water. This is taken about 200 feet above North Pebble Beach just before sunset. Crescent City, California USA
This noisy, annoying quadcopter was flying overhead at the Women's Forum State Park at the entrance to the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
My first impression of these vehicles flying in scenic areas was annoyance. They are loud and potentially dangerous. This one crash landed near parked cars and tourists.
I understand why they are being banned at national parks.
One of our kite colleagues brought one of his his toys for a fly around at Otterspool. This one has been fitted with gps system and will return to the operator by itself if the battery starts to run down.
These can be used for aerial photography and can be quite expensive.

Here’s my brother’s quadcopter with a Go Pro Hero 2 temporarily mounted on top of it. The camera and mount added around 235g (~ 8.3oz) to the quad making it top heavy and hard to fly. But my brother managed to fly it well. Here we are testing out the front of my house before we went for a drive to a nearby oval.
