This is my contribution to the Rogue Ronin collab, which was presented at Bricking Bavaria in Fürth in 2024. It was inspired by Japan’s Edo period and displayed Kumamoto Town and its coastline in the vibrant colours of autumn.
My part of the model presents a scene right in front of the town’s castle’s outer wall, featuring houses typical for the Edo period and townspeople in their daily life. Probably the biggest challenge I had to conquer whilst building this was to achieve the rather steep descent while maintaining a natural appearance.

I hope you like it!
Sony Center, Berlin
Fifth and last contribution to the "International Black and White Challenge".
Want to be nominated anyone?
The Sony Center has been designed by the Chicago based architect Helmut Jahn (Murphy/Jahn). What you see here is the famos roof over the forum of the center. It combines fabric, glass and metal. Some are reminded on a circus tent, I am reminded on a parachute, could be a giant balloon construction too.
This is part of my contribution to this year's Brick to the Past model, The Jacobite Risings: The Fight for Britain's Throne. Here we see another wee scene that depict a Jacobite camp. Jacobites did not carry proper tents like their government opponents, instead wrapping themselves in their plaids and huddling next to campfires.
The Jacobite Risings: The Fight for Britain’s Throne is a LEGO model of a series of uprisings, rebellions and wars that occurred predominantly in Scotland, but also spread into Ireland and England, between 1689 and 1746. Following the deposition of James II of England and VII of Scotland in the Glorious Revolution, the aims of the risings were to return the Stuart monarch, and later his descendants, to the thrones of England and Scotland (and after 1707, the Kingdom of Great Britain). They take their name from Jacobus, the Latin form of James.
While conflict broke out in 1689, 1715, and 1719, the most famous rising is probably the last, that of 1745. During the “Forty-five" Charles Edward Stuart, also known as the Young Pretender or Bonnie Prince Charlie, led an army from the Scottish Highlands as far south as Derby before retreating north to be decisively defeated at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Culloden was the last pitched battle to be fought on British soil and marked the end of any serious attempt to restore the house of Stuart to the throne.
The Jacobite Risings: The Fight for Britain’s Throne is a Brick to the Past creation built by Dan Harris, James Pegrum, Simon Pickard, Tim Goddard and Steve Snasdell. It was unveiled for the first time at the Bricktastic in July 2017 and went on display again at The Great Western Brick Show in October. It is now on display at Stirling Castle until February 2nd 2018.

We honor Juneteenth by celebrating African Americans' contributions to our nation and supporting black-owned businesses. Here's to celebrating freedom today and every day!
"If there is just about anything to rejoice about, it can be my ancestors, African People who survived the atrocity and stain of slavery…I honor them these days with a guarantee that I will keep on to combat for your unexplored desires and hopes." — Viola Davis, Actress, Author, and Producer.
Raising awareness: What is Juneteenth?
Juneteenth, or Emancipation Day or Freedom Day, is an annual holiday celebrated in the United States on June 19. It commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and the end of slavery in the United States.
The history of Juneteenth dates back to June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and issued General Order No. 3, which declared that all slaves in Texas were free. This announcement came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation officially abolished slavery in the Confederate states on January 1, 1863. However, due to the minimal presence of Union troops in Texas, the proclamation was not effectively enforced until General Granger's arrival.
Juneteenth celebrations typically involve various activities, including parades, picnics, cookouts, family gatherings, music, dancing, and educational events. It is a time for African Americans and others to reflect on their ancestors' struggles and achievements and celebrate freedom and equal rights.
In recent years, there has been a growing movement to recognize Juneteenth as a national holiday in the United States. On June 17, 2021, it was officially declared a federal holiday when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. This designation makes Juneteenth the 12th federal holiday and the first new one to be added since Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 1983.
The recognition of Juneteenth as a federal holiday is seen as an essential step in acknowledging the historical significance of emancipation and the ongoing struggle for racial equality in the United States. It provides an opportunity for all Americans to learn about and honor the contributions of African Americans to the nation's history and culture.

This is my contribution to Rogue Ronin, a large community model built by members of the RogueBricks community in 2024. The theme was Japan during the Edo period.
The Rogue Ronin collab was presented at Bricking Bavaria 2024 in Fürth in November 2024. It won first prize in both categories, both in the AFOL vote and in the public vote.
The focal point of my MOC is definitely the large pagoda with the waterfall. I was inspired by the three-storey pagoda of Seiganto-ji and the Nachi waterfall.
On the back of the pagoda, you can see a mountain lake, which feeds the waterfall. A bridge stretches across the watercourse.
There are also many small scenes around the pagoda depicting life in the Edo period. Fishermen fishing on the lake, merchants transporting their goods on their backs and descending the steep mountain path behind the pagoda, high-ranking personalities being carried in palanquins and escorted by samurai. Assassins planning their attack from ambush, Ronin testing their martial arts, a Buddhist monk, visitors to the pagoda and a happy couple drinking tea.
Have fun!
P.S. More pictures of details are coming soon.

My contribution to the #NoshsHoodChallenge3
The Challenge At Noshinima's Neighborhood: The City Block
This is the third of my challenges taking place at my brand new, bigger parcel, also named Noshinima's Neighborhood. This setup was a nightmare to work on, and after weeks of work and a lot of lindens spend, I have finally came up with a new challenge for all of you and it is now ready for visitors. This is a new concept I am showcasing on my Flickr, where I challenge 50 great artists to do a photo shoot in the backdrop I created at my home sim.
For the third challenge, I created a large New York style city block, complete with all the different types of retail store outlets you would find at in your typical downtown stroll along downtown. There are clothing stores, supermarkets, pizzerias flower shops and all types of different settings that can be potentially found in just one city block. This also comes with a fairly realistic street view complete with cars and trucks. I am challenging the names tagged in this post to do a shoot within my city block anywhere they like and however they like.
Rules and details:
1) I (Noshinima Midas) tag 50 names of great photographers on Second Life. Said photographers that choose to participate in the challenge can come over to my parcel, Noshinima's Neighborhood (link below) and do an image anywhere in my city. You will be allowed two hours to use any posestands or props that you would like to add and are allowed to bring any friends you want to join you in your shoot. You are also allowed to make the shoot as safe or as adult as you like. The only rule is that you do the shoot within the city block. Take your time to have a look around to see where in the block would make a great place for your image.
2) Upload the finished image onto Flickr and place the hashtag #NoshsHoodChallenge3 on either the title or the description.
3) YOU MUST TAG 10 PEOPLE THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE TAKE THIS CHALLENGE ON YOUR UPLOAD OF YOUR SHOOT! NO MORE, NO LESS! I have had several people during previous challenges that have not followed this simple rule so I am making it ALLCAPS to get the point across. Link them to this post and explain the rules to them as well. They must also tag 10 of their friends that they would like to see do this challenge if they themselves choose to participate as well. You must tag people that are actual active photographers on Second Life. Tagging pages dedicated to advertising a store, tagging real life photographers and tagging empty profiles does not count and is against the rules. Also, although you are permitted to do this if you desire, tagging me and tagging yourself will not count towards the number of 10 photographers you are tagging.
I am available every day. If anyone has any questions, comments or would like help in their shoots, be sure to contact me on Flickr or Second Life.
The initial names that I am challenging are listed as follows:
-Alsatian Kidd
-Angel Heaven
-Angie
-Argosi Domenici
-Ashlynn Anwyl
-Beatrice McAllister
-BenJohn9
-Buxanna
-Celith Wendt

Just a disclaimer. This is not a contest. It is simply a challenge for anyone to use my parcel in their photography as they see fit. Use any creative tactics you choose.
PS. The images shown on this post are pictures taken from the city block as examples of what my parcel looks like. I will post them all individually soon as examples of shoots done at my parcel.
PPS. I want to also add that while this challenge has officially started today, the city parcel itself is not yet completed. I am still working on adding small touches and details to make the parcel stand out. You may find empty rooms in the parcel but I will work on filling them up as soon as possible. Please excuse the otherwise unfinished and unorganized look of my city block.
Good luck to all those that choose to participate in the challenge. I am looking to see your creativity on display within the city block.
Love,
Noshinima Midas ;)
Thanks for the tag Michaela (summersun) and Marcela (Marcela Gorga). I quickly did the redress that I have been waiting for since end of Jan (my gift set arrived only yesterday) - and contribute this to celebrate the date. For semantics' sake I just had to replace "Women" by "Ladies".... so, give me an "L" for LOVELY.

Earth Day - 22nd April 2009! my contribution
The Himba are an ethnic group of about 20,000 to 50,000 people living in northern Namibia, in the Kunene region (formerly Kaokoland). They are a nomadic, pastoral people, closely related to the Herero, and speak the same language.
The Himba wear little clothing, but the women are famous for covering themselves with a mixture of butter fat, ochre, and herbs to protect themselves from the sun. The mixture gives their skins a reddish tinge. The mixture symbolizes earth's rich red color and the blood that symbolizes life, and is consistent with the Himba ideal of beauty. Women braid each other's hair and cover it in their ochre mixture (called otjize in their langauge).

The George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens are botanical gardens located 2 km North of the CBD of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.
The gardens were established on their present site in 1886; this was the third attempt by European settlers of Darwin to establish a site where plants of economic importance could be tested for their suitability in the tropics. Initially the collection of the gardens was focussed on economic gardening and the ornamental plantings. The gardens were severely damaged during Cyclone Tracy in 1974, 89% of all plants were lost. Restoration after the cyclone was led by George Brown, who had worked at the gardens since 1969 and served as curator from 1971 to 1990, and became Lord Mayor of Darwin in 1992 until 2002. The gardens were renamed in 2002 to recognise George Brown's contribution and 32 years service to the development of the gardens.
In 2000 Darwin's historic former Wesleyan Methodist church was moved from Knuckey Street and reconstructed at the Gardens. It is the oldest surviving building in Darwin. Today, the old church building houses Eva's Botanical Gardens Cafe.
The gardens contain a major collection of Northern Australian monsoon flora; these include communities like mangroves, monsoon vine thicket, Tiwi Islands wet forest and those found on the Arnhem Land escarpment. The gardens also has a large collection of native and introduced tropical plants including cycads, palms, Adansonia, gingers and heliconias.
This is my contribution to the unnatural theme for the week. It harks back to the first week of the project, where in some misguided bout of 365 optimism I decided to make a little pile of stones and stick it in every photograph. I can't think why....
I am going to set off to collect Eleanor now and she'll be here for 5 days. So, if I was bad a commenting before (I was), I will be even worse now!
I've got a Roman themed crafts activity book to do, we're going for lunch out one day, fish and chip night, pizza night, film night, organised kids craft morning, aircraft museum (not dull, you can sit in them, we'll be a pair of G's), Roman museum and an open farm to do.
Should be fun!
One of Munn’s decisive contributions to Canadian art was her fervent fusion od Christian symbolism in Cubist form. In the late 1920s she began a methodical practice of drawing scenes from the Passion of Christ, resulting in a fresh and radical update to one of European art history’s most traditional themes – an unusual subject for a Canadian modernist. This is one of the final drawings in the series, which included more than a thousand works on paper.

As i get older, I am now age 60, I still regret the years I wasted in fear of my desire to dress up as a woman and the way I went into complete denial and continually attempted to suppress my desire to appear as a female. I was brought up in an era when boys were told to be boys and to man up. All I recall is as teenager I was desperate to become a girl. At the time I was confused as I was far from certain if I simply wanted to dress up as a girl or I actually wanted to be a girl.
Being older I think I now have some understanding as to how I was back then. I think part of me is transsexual but it’s not dominant enough to make we want to transition into a full time woman. I also was painfully shy and harboured a dream of performance. I was especially taken with female impersonators who had established theatrical acts. These were not over the top drag queens, these were men whose performance was based upon looking completely convincing as women with no hint of the man being present yet the audience knew they were male. This is an art form in my mind, what I like to call female illusion.
This performance of the audience seeing you appear as a woman right down your physical attributes, clothing, shoes, make-up and hair and confidently performing as a female in front of them genuinely thrilled me and I wanted to be such a performer. To be able to carry off a convincing transformation and have the confidence and nerve as a man to step out on stage such a portrayal would have been quite amazing to experience. Knowing there were men out there that had made careers of doing this type of performance really caught my imagination.
I can still vividly recall the first time as a teenager I shaved my legs, dared to pluck my eyebrows, wore make-up for the first time, styled my hair into a girls style (no ned for a wig back then!), wore a bra and put on my first dress, then slipped on a pair of high heels…my head was spinning and I nearly passed out!
I experienced pure elation, yet there was also fear at that was doing yet every fibre of my being was embracing what I had just done. At last I was a girl! A girl! Oh joy! I loved how I felt in that precious and intense private moment. I also recall I got the shakes, it was uncontrollable for awhile but eventually settled enough for me to stand in front of a mirror. Seeing myself as a girl was quite a moment full of mixed emotions. I was euphoric and the emotions overwhelmed me. This was what I dreamed of doing! I was a boy but I also wanted to be a girl and seeing myself in a dress and make-up made me cry. I was frustrated and elated at the same time. I was a boy, not a girl but I was trying to be a girl and I knew I wanted that, oh yes, I really wanted it!
I began to imagine how it must feel to be a professional female impersonator. How would it be to make a living out of appearing on stage as a woman and entertaining people. Would I ever have the nerve and self confidence to step out in front of an audience completely in the guise of a woman? I wanted to do it but I had self doubt about my abilities. The prospect of a career of dressing up as a woman was alluring but my inner doubt held me back.
Now am 60, I never stepped on stage dressed up as a woman so that dream is unlikely to ever happen now. I still feel a desire to attempt some form of performance as a female impersonator and to some extent, my videos I’ve posted pander to this yearning. Increasingly, I am finding I feel more confident about stepping in front of a video camera dressed as a woman and I enjoy talking to camera in my guise as a female.
However, I’ll admit, my videos to date are rather aimless, rambling and highly self indulgent. I now find I would like to record more videos but have some point to them. I did try a series of videos in the past called ’T-chat’ in which I interviewed other cross-dressers and transsexuals. Unfortunately, this idea proved a failure and never gained much interest within the trans community. In fact sometimes it generated very negative and hostile responses! I eventually gave up on this idea after realising it was pointless doing anymore interviews due to the notable lack of enthusiasm. I think I was rather naive in my plans for such a series of videos.
Despite that not working out I find I am still keen to record videos as my female alter-ego. There are lots of things about my transvestism I have a need to talk about. When I talk to the camera about them I am expressing my own personal feelings and thoughts on being a man that cross-dresses asa woman. I do often wonder how others feel about their own motivations and aspirations with their own cross-dressing.
I would like to improve my videos and take on more interesting subject matter that is related to cross-dressing. I did enjoy the two way conversation in the T-chat interviews and have been thinking of an alternative. What I would love is to hear from other cross-dressers about transgender subjects they have a view on. Appearing on camera as a woman gives me an opportunity to perform as the female impersonator I always wished I had dared to become. I’ve had ideas where i could maybe host a series of videos that includes videos made by other cross-dressers in which they speak on camera on a cross-dressing subject they want open up about or start debate upon. Hopefully this would lead to further responses that can be included in future episodes.
I accept some people have no wish to talk on camera when they are appearing as a woman and I wondered if they too felt as I did that they have questions in regard to their cross-dressing. I the past I used to receive e-mails asking me questions about my own cross-dressing. I am willing to talk openly about them so I wondered if perhaps I could record videos in which I answered their questions.
I also wondered if perhaps questions could be posed on a cross-dressing topic and several cross-dressers could contribute by recording a video of their own answers to such questions. I could then compile these answers in to a video programme.
I’m not trying to be arrogant or ‘me, me, me’, it is a case of I enjoy being a woman on camera and I want to do something that is helpful and interesting for the trans community and i do seek more focus and substance for future videos rather than my stream of consciousness ramblings such as I’ve been doing so far.
I suppose I am aware I enjoy being a an on screen presenter when I dress up as a woman. It’s great fun and a chance tower lots of dresses, experiment with make-up and wear different wigs. In a way it’s me finally being a female impersonator but in a more interactive way than I do at the moment.
I would love torah from anyone who would consider posing a question or recording something on video for inclusion in a future video. It may just be this idea goes the same way as my ill fated ’T-chat’ interview series< i only managed four of them in the end and one person asked for their interview to be taken off-line. I’m not really expecting this to pan out based only experiences but I feel if I don’t mention it then I will never know. If you should feel a willingness to ask a question or record a video about cross-dressing, expressing your own thoughts and views on camera then I’m keen to embark on a series of videos the can include these.

My contribution to Comic Bricks! I should point out that the cover you're looking at is actually the back cover of Roots of the Swamp Thing number 3, which in 1986 reprinted the classic Len Wein/Berni Wrightson Swamp Thing stories from the seventies. The renewed interest was thanks to Alan Moore, who was busy writing Saga of the Swamp Thing and blowing everyone's mind.
This was my contribution to the Guilds of Historica collaboration at Brickworld this year. I built the entire landscape and started on the buildings, before getting Isaac’s help to finish the model in time. The base split into three portions, and all the buildings were easily removable to allow for convenient transport of the build. It had been a while since I’d done a proper Middle Eastern scene, so it was a really fun build and I think turned out as one of my best Castle models yet.
Be sure to check out multiple pictures, as the build is viewable from all sides. More angles and close ups available on Brickbuilt.

Pinhole image of a sliced pear on a gold-rimmed white plate. My third and latest attempt to photograph this particular subject; my first contribution to the Worldwide Pinhole Photograpy Day (#1443). This is the same pear slice as the one I have used for "Pear No. 2". By the time I took this picture the initially yellow-white pear flesh had oxidised and turned brownish, plus the skin had crumpled slightly inwards. Both of these natural changes had a positive effect on the overall outcome, giving the pear more structure, volume and outline. I have also reduced the exposure time from originally 6 hours (No. 1) and 5½ hours (No. 2) to 4½ hours (EV10), hoping the dish and its golden rim would show up better. This has worked to some degree, but quite obviously a white plate on a white table cloth is and remains a tricky subject. I would have been better off, exchanging the white table cloth with a somewhat darker fabric. Anyway, I do also like this version and I am learning quite a bit in the process. I read somewhere that Weston had exposed at least 50 negatives of peppers, so there’s quite a task ahead of me ;-). No worries though, if I have counted right, I have only 8 sheets of 8x10 DPP left. Taken with my homemade, foldable 8x10" Camera Obscura ("Stenopeica #1", 190mm, f.540) on Harman DPP (Direct Positive Paper, FB) and developed in Caffenol.

On the first day of Metroline's operation of route 295, VWH2097 is seen having turned off the stand at Clapham Junction to work a service to Ladbroke Grove. The route is operated by Gemini 3 VWH hybrids in the new "frog-face" front design style. This bus is the old Gemini 3 style design from Willesden garage and was helping out on the Willesden Junction based route due to the late delivery of the new VWHs for the route.
The Terowie Soldier's Memorial Hall is important for social and architectural reasons. It is a relatively simple stone building but makes a strong contribution to the streetscape and character of the
town which has numerous other significant buildings of this era and older. The style is consistent with the Hall typology of the region, with notable features such as the timber detailing to the gable end, and the stained-glass windows on the street elevation. The Hall has provided an important and varied social service to the local community as well as providing a memorial to the local soldiers who contributed to the First World War.
The foundation stone reads "AMDG St Josephs Memorial Hall in memory of our fallen soldiers 25 March 1920". It now appears to be a private residence.
Terowie:
The town of Terowie was established in the early 1870s as a service centre for northbound traffic. Terowie owes its birth to one man, John Aver Mitchell; and its subsequent growth and success to its position on a major South Australian transport route, and later, to its important position within the South Australian rail network. John Aver Mitchell (1833 - 1879) is widely acknowledged to be the founder of Terowie. He and his family arrived in South Australia in 1847, and settled in the Marrabel area. Mitchell turned his hand to many things and lived in many places, including Kapunda and Hallett, before establishing himself in the Terowie area.
In 1872, Mitchell selected Section 158 from the recently proclaimed Hundred of Terowie. This land had previously been part of McCulloch's Gottlieb's Well sheep run, the lease of which had been resumed by the Government and opened for credit selection. Mitchell planted wheat on his land, but soon turned to other ideas for a livelihood. The growing amount of northward traffic passing through his section required services, and he is believed to have established an underground store or possible sly-grog shop at the side of the track as early as 1872.
He soon built two substantial stone buildings close to one another, the Hotel which was licensed on the 7th of May 1874; and a chapel which probably served a variety of functions including as a general meeting place. The hotel and chapel are considered to be Terowie's earliest buildings, but it was not long before a smithy and store were also constructed near the hotel. To ensure the growth and success of his infant town, Mitchell donated land and money for a school and a Methodist Chapel, both of which were erected in 1877.
The fact that the young town of Terowie offered much needed services to the northward traffic, as well as to the growing number of local settlers, secured its future prosperity. By the end of the 1870s over 500 people had settled in the town. Subsequent fluctuations in population had two main causes: the times of depression which affected local production, state-wide production and hence local services; and the rise and fall of railway operations, which reached high points in the 1880s (with the Silverton/Broken Hill Traffic), the 1940s (Military manoeuvres) and the 1950s (Leigh Creek Coal). The 1970 bypassing of the Terowie break-of-gauge sounded the death knell for the town's prosperity.
This history, of massive boom and prosperity in the 1880s, but then a subsequent dip in popularity followed by later peaks of a similar height has, to a large extent, dictated the face of Terowie today. Almost all of the buildings in the core of the town were constructed before the turn of the century. Lack of a steadily rising population led to there being no necessity for new buildings to be built after the 1880s, as the old ones were built during a wave of optimism, and then rarely outgrown.
Therefore, within the core of the town, very few twentieth century buildings have been built, and few modern alterations and additions have been required. Terowie survives as a fascinating nineteenth century commercial and residential time capsule. However, it is also a living town, with a small number of interested residents trying to retain their unique heritage.
