n the old town of barcelona, a passerby strides along a striking pink backdrop, a vibrant contrast to the muted tones of their attire. the walls whisper tales of the past, with patches and textures speaking to the city's rich tapestry. it's a scene where urban life and colorful history intersect, with each step along the cobbled streets adding to the narrative of this bustling catalan corner.
AKA: "Slicer".
I built another Strider model as I had an idea for double Hand-to-Hand weapons. It's still a cross between Soren's initial idea, my new Quad design and the legs from this AYates frame.

Had to find a livery for this drawing and spotted this on someone's Paper Bus model. I think it suits it.
70611 Water Strider is my third The LEGO NINJAGO Movie set that I’ve built, the second one I’ve done a review for and I gotta say, so far TLNM sets are impressive. Looking ahead at other TLNM sets sitting in my review pile, I’m fairly confident in saying that the trend of...

Another assignment for my Design Drawing class: an "insect machine." I based this walker's 4-legged shape off that of a water strider, with a bit of grasshopper mixed in.
I'm still getting used to working in pen, hence the occasional wobbly lines and smudges. For the most part, though, I'm happy with how this turned out.
If you're in the northern hemisphere, you don't need me to tell you that you've just entered the hottest month of the year. This is about the time when the novelty of summer turns into a countdown until the kids are shuffled back into classrooms and the longing for the cold weather holidays begin shaking off the dust in the backs of your minds. Thoughts of the sweater weather of Halloween and the teeth chattering cold of Christmas have probably begun soliciting fantasies of pumpkin spice and hot chocolate.
Here in the southern hemisphere however, the hottest months of the year fall during those cool weather holidays of the north. Halloween, a holiday that's been gaining popularity here in Brazil, happens at a time when spring begins changing hands with summer heat and Christmas is often celebrated by family trips to the coast to participate in Brazil's extraordinarily egalitarian beach culture. We'll look forward to this next Christmas with family gathered in an outdoor space, drinking cold beer and waiting for midnight of the 25th for celebrations and food. We'll comfort dogs afraid of fireworks, develop flip flop tan lines and sleep under fans, strategically placed to cut through the oppressive tropical humidity. Think of this while you begrudgingly chip the frost off of your car window.
I took this photo two years ago on December 25th in the Sao Paulo beach town Praia Grande. This is Christmas in Brazil.
This is a sneak peak on my upcoming photo project about the American guitarist and Country Rocker Jon Strider.

The water strider is a bug that has the ability to walk on water. According to Wikipedia, other names for this bug include:
water bugs, magic bugs, pond skaters, skaters, skimmers, water scooters, water skaters, water skeeters, water skimmers, water skippers, water spiders, or Jesus bugs. What do you call this bug in your part of the world?
This guy was power walking through Amsterdam airport (AMS) whilst checking out the parked aircraft.

"The Star Strider is an extremely fast pursuit craft with high maneuverability thanks to it's adjustable wings. Perfect for keeping peace and order!"
I found myself disassembling my LEGO 70351 Clay's Falcon Fighter Blaster set and really liked the colors and the cockpit. So I decided to build something from it. This is the result.
The model has two large adjustable wings on either side, three adjustable fins on top and features two "hidden" spring-loaded shooters underneath. It fits Clay in full armor and has a clip for holding his sword. The model is fairly swooshable and the shooters can be activated while "flying" it with a single hand.
