When we went to the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix last Saturday, I donned my bird lens (Sigma 150-600mm) as usual. There are lots of birds at DBG after all. But Jean (my wife) asked me to take pictures of flowers, so the bird lens was re-purposed as a macro lens. Happy wife, happy life and all that. There are lots of nice blooms around now, I must admit.

’ve waited nine years for this moment…
For reasons unknown to us, Nex and Stringer would never see another release after 2012, despite two full waves of sets they could easily have been integrated into. With Bulk growing increasingly orange and Stringer’s lack of unified color scheme, my belief is that Nex and Stringer underperformed in BREAKOUT as the two cheaper sets of the second wave and were cut from the lineup for the remainder of Hero Factory’s run.
Until today…
With a helmet commissioned from @galva_nize_ I present BRAIN ATTACK Stringer. He is of the same height class as Stormer and Surge and is equipped with a Hero Sword. He also has a scanning apparatus affixed to his arm for performing sonar sweeps and picking up thermal signatures. I went for a more hefty build as Stringer deserves the extra muscle. I have also tried to combine his blue BREAKOUT color scheme and his orange 1.0 colors to create something that honors both.
I have taken great lengths to keep the design language of the other BRAIN ATTACK sets:
- Melee weapons
- Silver or Gunmetal secondary color
- Transparent armor piece
- Hero Core Clamp and Visor
This build uses a shoulder configuration first used by Beardly_Designs. I don’t think anything else draws inspiration from other MOCs but, if you feel it does, let me know!
Building this MOC is honestly a dream come true for me. I’m glad I can finally give Stringer the form he deserves.
Spring thaw at String Lake on a late May evening. Went several days without seeing the mountains, but it was still a great trip last spring. I am trying really hard not to complain about not being there this spring.

This is what the 85mm f1.8 is useful for, isolation of subject. Very pleasant not intrusive bokeh I think, no highlights to check though!
Back from a mid-Summer's off-line vacation...and a time to watch and marvel. Here an amazing spider web, suspended between two trees, six or so feet in the air. The entire web was triangular in shape and tethered by three single strands. Have a great week!
I like the collection of instruments. They resemble more familiar ones, but give out different sounds.
Heliotropium steudneri was flowering all over the veld and occurs largely on disturbed grassland reflecting the drought conditions experienced over the last few years. The name is derived from helios meaning sun and tropos meaning to turn. String of Stars and wild Heliotrope are the common names of this beautiful flower.
There are also a couple of Natal Spurfowls thrown in to give some further interest to the photo :)
The Natal Spurfowl is one of the noisiest birds in the bushveld and once heard never forgotten.
