Back in March I attended two LEGO exhibtions at Reading and Bricktastic, Manchester. Since then I’ve mainly been making repairs and improvements to three of my motorised models. The Ark needed a new motor and the Rover (which has yet to appear online) had all its motors switched to Control+ so it’s easier to drive. However third model (which again has yet to debut online) needed a total tear down and the reworking of its innards to fundamentally change the way it works. That is now complete, it works as demonstrated here, and I can get on with the rest of my life.
Fixed the cheek rest position so it didn't have that horrible slant that looked like you're face'd just slide off the end of the stock.
Ed: LMG/Autorifle and AR down, Carbine, SMG, and DMR/Battle Rifle to go! Well for the basic remodelling versions, might do a couple overhauls e.g. Bolt action something, integral GL, etc. Having alot of fun with these so I might come back touch them up further too.
My new bike. The 'Lager' from SE Bikes. A fixed gear bike (you can turn the rear wheel around for a freewheel cog). This was my first fixed endeavor. I chose the 'Nordbahntrasse'. A former railway track which is now a high profile bicycle lane through Wuppertal. Here I'm in front of Tunnel Schee.

Mein neues Rad. Das 'Lager' von SE Bikes. Ein Starrgang-Rad (man kann das Hinterrad aber umdrehen und dann ein Freilauf-Ritzel benutzen). Das war gleichzeitig mein erstes Fixed-Abenteuer. Ich habe dafür die Nordbahntrasse gewählt. Eine ehemalige Bahnlinie die mittlerweile eine bekannte und sehr gut angenommene Radtrasse durch Wuppertal ist. Hier bin ich vor dem Tunnel Schee.
Perks of fixed gear bike, it's easy to clean and maintain a single gear. But riding it hurts your knees too.
I fit these Lenses to my Sony Alpha A7. They make quite the good impression in my eyes.
Check out the sample images I took with these in my fotostream.

I must admit, it does feel a little bit ridiculous to shoot after handling a Hasselblad.
