The lightbox completed!
So you want to make a pocket studio? Have a look at this DIY Lightbox / Light tent tutorial:
Materials Required:
- foam board ( 5 pieces )
- white duct tape ( 1 roll )
- halogen lights, 50W ( 2 bulbs )
- desk lamps w/ flexible necks ( x 2 )
- sheet of white bristol/poster board ( x 1)
Tools Needed:
- exacto knife
- scissors
Assembly Instructions:
A) Start off by deciding how you want to arrange your box. Cut the foam board into appropriately sized panels.
B) Assemble the box piece by piece, taping both the inner and outer edges of each joint (for added rigidity). Be sure to leave the front face open.
C) Cut a sheet of white bristol board to the width of your assembled lightbox. Tape the board to the lower front edge, then extend the board in a curve toward the top of the back wall. Then tape it at the top. This way, you won't have a visible 'edge' at the back of the lightbox. Subjects will be seemingly placed in front of a white infinity.
D) Assemble your lights on either side of the box, and point the bulbs toward opposite inside faces of the lightbox. Switch on and enjoy! Be sure to set custom white balance. Use with or without a flash too!
Optional Steps:
1) Cut small slats into the front sides of the box so you can 'peek' your lights into the box.
2) Cut a three sided door into the top of the box for shooting from the top and/or lighting from above!
Enjoy!

Just completed my cb360 project over the weekend, went for a 30mile run this Morning
and snapped a few pics.
What a fun ride! very happy!
Well, it took 8 months, but I think I can declare this one finished. I wanted to get something up, but I'll take more formal photos later. I tried to play with technique as much as I could to bring out as much detail as possible. I honestly didn't think this would be a terribly solid chassis, but he survives a faceplant quite elegantly. Double jointed knees, ball-joint ankles and hips, and articulating feet give this mech the ability to pose precariously in a variety of ways.
KJD214P is seen in 1985 on the finishing line at Aldenham Works having the finishing touches added after being converted to a mobile home.

No, I didn't die. I had a secret hiatus that I now need to put to an end as there are 3 (!) shows that are asking for my work...

I havent applied these yet because I cant decide on what color minifig to use.Currently there are 9 but I will need to apply one set for pictures for my bricklink store.
Began April 2014 and completed April 2017, a completely original interpretation in embroidery of a Norwegian Primstav - Carved Wood Calendar Stick - used in Norway long ago to keep track of the times during the year to pland, harvest, move cattle to summer pastures, etc. Christianity appeared and the stick became useful for remembering Saint and Holy days. Eventually however, the stick symbols returned to their original use and meanings. Symbols in some cases are faithful to those found on surviving calendar sticks; however, in others I have taken shameless liberties. The symbols in the inner circle represent personal special days as birthdays and other celebrations. Those on the outside of the circle represent many of the days marked on true calendar sticks. See Gingerbreadsnowflakes.com for the meanings of the winter side symbol in three posts beginning here: www.gingerbreadsnowflakes.com/node/924

Flown and retrieved shuttle Solid Rocket Booster Separation Motor (BSM) from the forward section of a Shuttle SRB. The BSM is the rocket motor that separates the reusable solid rocket boosters (SRB) from the main tank before the orbiter leaves the atmosphere. The BSM weighs 177 pounds when loaded with propellant and is 31 inches long.
About 2+ minutes into a space shuttle flight, 16 of these small, but powerful, motors are fired simultaneously for 1.2 seconds. This provides the precise thrust angled away to safely separate the spent boosters from the space shuttle’s ET and Orbiter. Altogether, there are 8 such BSMs attached to each of the twin reusable SRBs, four on the forward skirt and 4 on the aft skirt. The BSMs in each cluster are ignited while traveling through the atmosphere at more than 3,000 mph with an altitude of about 24 nautical miles.
The BSMs are produced by ATK Launch Systems Group, part of Alliant Techsystems (ATK) Inc., at their production plant in Brigham City, Utah. Top is stamped X33012 and the nozzle enclosure B12007-01-01 MMA7075
Finally done with my Endor MOC. It is 16' x 6', or 114 32x32 baseplates. No idea how much I have into it so please don't ask. Spent 1-1/2 tears constructing it. Guessing around 80,000 to 100,000 pieces. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtPx7Fsk5qU&list=UUm1lyFs-8Hv...

I'd been wanting to try one of these colour spectrum puzzles for quite a while, so when I found a factory sealed copy in a charity shop I snapped it up. Upon opening it I noticed the alphabet printed on the back: a feature of a lot of modern Chinese jigsaw puzzles. I was determined not to resort to using the letters as a guide!
My verdict? An entertaining 'make', not difficult if worked from the centre out - although I assembled the edges before making that decision. Shiny pieces of a decent thickness, with the usual assortment of shapes (always a 'plus' for me). Although only 1,000 pieces, the shape meant it had to be assembled on our 1,5000pc-sized portapuzzle board, and even that wasn't big enough. A small niggle but nothing to stress over, although something to bear in mind if you intend looking for a copy.
