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.
We all have our personal zones and we know when they've been invaded. Mine are a little closer than most. I don't like it when other people's hand gestures get too close to my face.

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.
Lewis is fascinated by space and is hooked on ultra violet lights and what can be achieved with a little paint and a fine flick brush. He's learning fast now and its getting harder to fulfil his inquisitive fantasies.

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
Tai the Ever-Vigilant says a stoic goodbye to her family as she prepares to enter OUTER SPACE. For she is a space dog with a space harness, and this is her lot in life.
To the moon, pooch!
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.
I loved Marchetti36's Space Battleship Yamato so much I decided to build my own copy of his ship and then also built a Dreadnought-class Space Battleship to scale with the Yamato. Huge thanks to Marchetti for the inspiration and wonderful build.

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."
This image of space shuttle Atlantis was taken shortly after the rotating service structure was rolled back at Launch Pad 39A, Thursday, July 7, 2011. Atlantis is set to liftoff today, Friday, July 8, on the final flight of the Space Shuttle Program.
so you have to kind of use your imagination for this- the guy with the hat is draging yoghurt boy and his brother through space and the colour cupcakes are planets! www.puccho.jp/blog/story16/comment.php?_id=176
Here's a space station I made a while back. I had to wait to get some black card for the perfect background!
The bus has no driver, but has a robot instead. The robot sits in the middle, so *both* front seats are free for taking. Yee!
Scattered clouds at dawn provide the backdrop for the Space Shuttle Discovery as it moves along the Kennedy Space Center's Crawlerway toward Launch Pad 39A in preparation for the STS-82 mission. The shuttle is on a mobile launch platform, and the entire assemblage is being carried by a large tracked vehicle called the Crawler Transporter. A seven-member crew of astronauts performed the second servicing of the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope during the scheduled ten-day STS-82 flight in February 1997.
