This space vehicle is a Small Class Armoured Rover decked out in Classic Space livery.
Named Moon Cat, it's mainly used as a mobile research laboratory and is equipped with only one weapon, a machine gun on top (not much used actually.).
The canopy opens to expose a detailed little interior with such an assortment of retro-tech computers and equipment.
The design of the Moon Cat is neat and retro-tech at the same time.
I'm especially satisfied of the usage of the crutches as lamps protection bar. If I'm not wrong they have never been used in that way before (NPU).
I built it more than a year ago but only recently I take good pictures.
Thanks for stopping by.

(High-rez) Backdropped by Earth's horizon and the blackness of space, the International Space Station is seen from Space Shuttle Discovery as the two spacecraft begin their relative separation. Earlier the STS-128 and Expedition 20 crew concluded nine days of cooperative work onboard the shuttle and station. Undocking of the two spacecraft occurred at 2:26 p.m. (CDT) on Sept. 8, 2009.
Hey Aliens!
Complete your holiday outfits this season with the holiday edition of the Sol Specs! It comes with 4 colors to mix n' match, in legacy textures and PBR!
You can grab this cheapie gift from Space Cadet under the tree at Anthem!
Technically, this is not correct because the Space Shuttle did not go to the moon. But we had just finished the tour and I looked up, and this is what I saw.
This is a massive model of the famous Space Marine Thunderhawk Gunship.
Some details:
almost 10 000 parts
measures 120 studs - 96 cm long.
Wingspan is almost the same
Work on this project has come to a halt - the rear section and a bit of the bottom is not finished yet, but I don't think I will finish it at all.. almost a month ship is in this state and all attempts to finish it ended in Rage quitting the LDD.. I don't know why this big project that I wanted to build so badly turned into a piece of frustration...
Thanks to Garry Rocks who asked to build it for the MarchHammer - sorry that I didn't finish it at all.. Almost forgot.. His Ultramarines are in perfect scale with this Thunderhawk.
Is it worth finishing?
Commander Liu is holding the legendary Golden Fly. Did he just make the greatest catch or has he lost his long trusted companion? You decide but it goes without saying, that is one big bug!
I made this for the Frog collab run by Simon Liu for Brickworld Chicago this year. Yes- I'll be going and I hope to see some of you this June!
This build was fun and was a resurrected version of a few mocs I've started over the past few years. He has chairs for abs, a duplo tube for his neck guard, minifig helmets for toes and fingers, and a pneumatic cylinder as part of his jet pack.
Sometimes, zoo staff look at my images from the nature preserve and say that they really need to take more opportunities to get out there, in the open space.
Space is important when I'm quilting on my long arm machine. I look at each tiny space as a blank canvas... And as I quilt in one- I'm looking ahead to the next space deciding how I will move into it and then what goes within- lines, circles, squiggles - all at 1200 stitches per minute! #cy365 #captureyour365 #space #innova #machinequilting #red #23of365
Seems like I was supposed to be building something else this month....
Some day there will be a couple more here.
This vignette was shot on top of a piece of sheet metal, photographed with a wide-angle lens with a closeup filter, and taken in front of a web of Christmas lights. Although I took this photo inside my house, the original idea was supposed to be shot outside. Shortly after taking the photos of my spacemen in front of Christmas lights for a bokeh effect in Lancaster, I decided to one-up this setting by shooting a group photo of the astronauts in front of a large display of multicolored lights. To do this, I scouted for locations in Queens and Long Island that had good vantage points in front of Christmas lights. I found a Catholic school in Whitestone called St. Mel’s, which had an impressive array of lights. On one Saturday night I drove to the school/church to photograph test images, but alas found no suitable areas to setup the whole group photo with their instruments. The best I could do was to shoot a few photos of individual minifigs along a railing, but not the whole band. I ended up not using any of the test photos, and instead opted to shoot the scene indoors. The major challenge I ran into was getting the whole band in focus while keeping the Christmas lights blurry for a bokeh pattern. Due to space limitations in my attic studio, I wasn’t able to achieve the proper depth-of-field techniques I wanted, and instead settled for the yellow drummer out of focus. Another major issue was the fact that the Space Policeman (red visor, lead guitar) kept toppling over at any slight jolt.
I have always loved those space baseplates.
I wouldn't mind if they would be re-released - and I am happy that I got some through BrickLink.
And the picture is some "to go boldly where no monkey has gone before" thing.
This Hubble Space Telescope image finds the large spiral galaxy, NGC 3227, wrapped in a turbulent gravitational dance with its companion, the elliptical galaxy NGC 3226. The pair – collectively known as Arp 94 – is relatively nearby, between 50 and 60 million light-years away toward the constellation Leo, the Lion. A close look at the area between the two galaxies, reveals faint tidal streams of gas and dust that link the galaxies in their gravitational dance.
NGC 3227 is a Seyfert galaxy, a type of galaxy with a very active nucleus. Seyfert galaxies hold supermassive black holes at their cores. As matter spirals into the black hole, it releases vast amounts of radiation along the black hole’s axis of rotation. giving the galaxy its active nucleus.
Hubble looked at NGC 3227 and 3226 as part of a program to measure black hole masses by observing the dynamics of gas at the centers of bright cluster galaxies. The color red in this image represents both visible red and near infrared wavelengths of light.

Another five old photos that I came across when I was going through a few old photo folders, trying to delete at least some of the images, in order to free up some space on my hard drive. These five were taken on 3 July 2016, on a trip to Bow Valley Provincial Park, west of Calgary.
I am adding the description that I wrote under a previously posted photo taken on the same trip.
"On 3 July 2016, a group of 12 of us went west of the city to the very eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains for a day of birding and botanizing. This is less than an hour's drive from the city. Our main walk was along the Many Springs Trail, but we also stopped for a short while at Middle Lake at the end of the day. This was my second visit to this park in the past week, as the leaders, Dorothy and Stephen, had invited me to go with them for a dry run on 28 June 2916, before they led the trip two days ago.
The mountains in this park are the first ones you come to, when you drive westwards on Highway 1 or 1A from Calgary. They form the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains. Mt. Yamnuska is a spectacular sight, and very popular with rock-climbers and hikers. I've never hiked up there - and am never likely to : ) The flat area at the foot of these mountains is Bow Valley Provincial Park, very popular with botanists and birders.
The Many Springs Trail is always a most rewarding trail. A great variety of plants can be found there (and elsewhere). We saw a reasonably good variety of wildflowers, including Western Wood Lilies, the last (?) 3 Yellow Lady's-slippers, Sticky False Asphodel, Harebells, Fleabane, and lots of Gaillardia. I was also thrilled to bits to find the tiny flowers of Kalm's Lobelia (Lobelia kalmii) along the edge of Middle Lake. I only remember ever seeing this plant once before, at Elkton Bog. Though the end of June is usually the best time to go for the wildflowers, you still never know what you will find. We barely had a spring this year, it was so hot and so dry, more like summer.
Birds were much harder to find, even though we heard them. There were quite a few small birds flitting about, but we were not able to ID them all. On 28th June, our best sightings were of a brightly coloured male Yellow Warbler and some kind of flycatcher (Willow or Alder Flycatcher) near the boardwalk at Many Springs. Both were on the move constantly, though I did manage to get a few less-than-good photos. One of my Warbler shots made me smile when I saw it on my computer. The bird was perched, with a beak full of insects, right next to a large spider's web. Kind of robbing ones neighbour.
On the way out of the park, we stopped at Middle Lake and walked down the path as far as the lake. We were horrified at how low the water level was - there was no sign of the beautiful reeds that used to really add something special to this view. We had seen the same thing at Many Springs, too, with low water levels.
On the trip two days ago, we saw 20 bird species. I never find this park a good place for taking bird photos - wildflowers are easier, though it was windy this day, which made it more difficult.
The weather forecast for this day mentioned the risk of thunderstorms, but we were so lucky. The sun shone all day and the sky was full of puffy clouds. Once our visit was over and we were ready to drive back to Calgary, a bit of rain did arrive.
Thanks so much, Dorothy and Stephen, for such an enjoyable day! It was a real treat to go to the mountains, as I so rarely go."
