"Blueprint of Spacecraft, giving by the Origaliens. We are told that they are resting now, recharging their battery. "
Happy weekend everyone ;-))
I folded this tessellation "Spacecraft "with a bigger hexagon 43cm (grid 1:64", "Anett paper" ) and using the same basics as in 'Dance'. Then altering this one in really 3D.
If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album Origami - Tessellation Progression".
"We proudly present you a photo of the "SpaceCraft", which is approaching Earth too.
On the left you can see where one of the spaceships must land, when it returns home.
The aliens are looking forwards to meet and greet us, they mean no harm and come in peace. From an anonymous, but trustworthy source. "

The backside, which I call "MoToR" looks different too.

Yes, of course, it's a Martian Spacecraft. We're being invaded again ;)
That's the thought that ran through my head looking at this image. What it is, if you haven't guessed, is a water drop on top of an unopened fireweed flower. I just love the look! And thanks for taking a look!
Taken 21 July 2022 at the Wynn Nature Center, Homer, Alaska.
Some modern office building remind more of a grounded spacecraft than a piece of architecture. This is a building close to London Bridge, with lots of mirroring glass and steel frames. It was a bright but cloudy day, showing very nice reflections and high contrast between the light and darker parts of the building's surface.

Do you think this looks like a UFO?

There I was taking photos of trees and similar shots when all of a sudden a ship came down from above - a space ship that is and these two made their presence known !! Fear not , they said they come in peace - well that's what they said anyway !!
Brickworld Chicago 2025 is only a few days away now... I've had quite a bit of "builder's burnout", but in March I finally started building again. I will have a table of all new things to display (including an 8-baseplate layout 😮)...
This is one of my smaller builds that I named the "Guppy".
The Needles, end of the Isle of Wight in unsettled weather... not a good time to meet wind against dropping tide when the overfalls procduce rough waters.
A difficult location to image as there are few land based viewpoints; this one a tight, caged corner within the National Trust Old Needles Battery, that that has seen the only launch of a spacecraft from UK soil back in the height of the cold war.
...nevertheless humans managed to capture an alien spacecraft!
We did a road trip from California to Utah. We drove along the Extraterrestrial Highway in Nevada, and stopped at the Little A'Le'Inn, located near the mysterious Area 51. An old truck is parked in front of the restaurant. It was very windy that night, and I had to take several shots until I got one where the flying saucer was not moving too much. The title is a quote by Neil deGrasse Tyson, well a joke by him in an interview.
I processed a paintery and a balanced HDR photo from four RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

A gorgeous model of a version of the interplanetary, nuclear-pulse Project Orion spacecraft.
Just me I know & irrelevant...to anything; however, I find the presence of the date/photo ID number to be perplexing, with regard to the subject, that is. Its format & placement, even the font used, is that of official North American Aviation (NAA)/North American Rockwell (NR/NAR) photographs of the time. If so, the first grouping of numerals might even be missing the normally trailing "8".
Orion - to the best of my knowledge - was primarily, if not exclusively, a General Dynamics (GD)/General Atomic Div. effort/proposal, and the USAF. GD never became affiliated with, nor consumed by NR/NAR. Further, Orion was cancelled as of 1964/65.
If I’m correct, why would NR/NAR reissue what I assume to originally be a GD photo, from ca. 1960-64? The program itself was never resurrected. And if not a reissue, and indeed by NR/NAR, in 1969…why?
Not surprisingly, there’s no shortage of material pertaining to Project Orion.

A model of a different and the most prevalent variant in diagrams & literature, with the forward-located toroidal “crew/personnel accommodations” module/station:

Other than the photos I’ve linked to above of what is likely the same model, my rather extensive searching hasn’t yielded nothing depicting/referencing the forward, transverse-mounted presumable crew/personnel module. Was it to possibly be used in an artificial gravity-inducing capacity? By rotation of the entire spacecraft along the central axis? I don’t see a separation plane between it and the "payload spine" of the vehicle - permitting independent rotation - which I naively/ignorantly would’ve expected.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There is this...which bears some outward resemblance...however, these are "deployable" modules, that apparently pivot outward - à la "Pilgrim Observer", which certainly doesn't seem to be the case with the model:

Amusingly/Interestingly, artificial gravity for the more prevalently rendered design was to be achieved by the “tumbling pigeon”/”baton” mode of rotation, with the spacecraft basically tumbling end-over-end…not during periods of active nuclear pulsing…of course.

Finally...note the repeated nuclear detonation "weathering" of the bottom of the pusher plate.
I want one…IT. I hope it somehow survived.

An spacecraft from the pioneering days of space exploration, when space was big...
*************************************
This quickly built little ship came about because of Tamm S.'s recent and beautiful hovercraft reminded me that I had these Christmas baubles. He also showed me how to attach them using a jumper plate, rather than the Technic pins and axles that I'd previously used. I managed to sandwich the attachment point on the bauble between two jumper plates and attach them to headlight bricks. These then attached to a 2x3 plate.
