Perched on my garden fence, I drew out this rooster design & my inventive uncle cut & created this in metal, to spin in the wind.
Happy weekend =) Very cold & windy here, but the sun is shinning.
From my journal,punk watercolor painting on a3 with a bit textured,thanks for the visit have a great day
With the inventor behind the controls-and the builder behind the scenes. ;D
A better picture of the Pigeon, because-I'll be honest- "Watson's Garage" was completely built around it. ;D
Enjoy, and please take your time. :)

Pepsi was first invented in 1893 as "Brad's Drink" by Caleb Bradham, who sold the drink at his drugstore in New Bern, North Carolina. It was renamed Pepsi-Cola in 1898, "Pepsi" because it was advertised to relieve dyspepsia (indigestion) and "Cola" referring to the cola flavour.

This started as a simple modification to the upcoming 40650 6-wide Land Rover set to integrate the more squared off 28326 mudguards, which felt more appropriate to me. Then, the set designer Adam Grabowski posted his prototype to Flickr, and instantly, I wanted to add more elements similar to the ones that model had. I also added some, but not all, of the accessory elements from the Creator Expert-scaled set (since I feel like that one's a bit too busy with ALL the stuff it has on it).
I'd like to give credit to several individuals for aspects of this model:
- LEGO, for the upcoming set.
- Adam Grabowski, for the prototype.
- john.carter, for the offset square mudguard integration concept.
- Ids de Jong, for the gas can idea.
- The LEGO Car Building Discord server, for bits of feedback.

"By golly, look at it go, Branston!" the older businessman said, pleasantly surprised at the unexpected mannerism of the robot that. Branston just raised an eyebrow in scrutiny. He had to be sure of the thing they were about to invest in.
"So how do you like him, gentlemen? He's ready to work, self-sufficient, intelligent, and he'll definitely do good work in the mines," the inventor said. His partner grinned in satisfaction, sure of their creation, knowing that with this one chance, they can and will finally land their first big break. He just hoped that Branston agrees as well, of course.

The Mercedes Knight models were equipped with special sleeve-vales engines, which had been licensed by the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft from its inventor, the American Charles Y. Knight, in 1909.
The combustion process was not controlled by normal valves, but by two tubular slide valves with ports that moved between cylinder and piston. Between 1910 an 1923 about 5,350 units of this model were built. The engines rotated rather slowly (max. 1,800 rpm) but had an enormous torque.
This building was occupied for many years by Detroit's Children's Museum, was purchased recently and will be converted into a museum of Greek Culture in Detroit.
Robert Scherer, in 1933, founded a corporation to produce these soft gelatin capsules. This firm rapidly became the world's leader in this industry, and eventually had plants in 12 countries. Robert Scherer, a graduate of the city's public schools, is among Detroit's most productive inventors. Prior to his death in 1960, he obtained 52 patents. His innovative machine is now in the Smithsonian in Washington.

Carte de visite by H.H. Freeman of Belvidere, Ill. A man stands next to what appears to be a model of an engineering improvement. He may have been the brain behind the invention, and intended this image to be submitted to the patent office in Washington, D.C. Using photography for this came of age when the carte de visite became all the rage in the U.S.

The Deutsches Museum Bonn is a museum with exhibits and experiments of famous scientists, engineers and inventors. Its central themes are research and technology in Germany after 1945.
It is part of the Deutsches Museum in Munich. It was founded in 1995 at the instigation of the Association of Sponsors for the Promotion of German Science (Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft) in the Science Centre (Wissenschaftszentrum) in Bonn.
Transrapid is a German developed high-speed monorail train using magnetic levitation. Planning for the Transrapid system started in 1969 with a test facility for the system in Emsland, Germany completed in 1987. In 1991, technical readiness for application was approved by the Deutsche Bundesbahn in cooperation with renowned universities.
The current application-ready version, the Transrapid 09, is designed for a cruising speed of 500 km/h (311 mph) and allows acceleration and deceleration of approximately 1 m/s2 (2.24 mi/min2).
In 2004, the first commercial implementation was completed — the Shanghai Maglev Train, which connects the city of Shanghai's rapid transit network 30.5 km (18.95 mi) to Shanghai Pudong International Airport. The Transrapid system has not yet been deployed on a long-distance intercity line.
The system is developed and marketed by Transrapid International, a joint venture of Siemens and ThyssenKrupp.
At the end of 2011, the operating license for the Emsland test track expired, and it closed down. In early 2012, demolition and reconversion of the entire Emsland site including the factory was approved.
In 2002 it was decided to rebuild this handsome windmill "De Adriaan". It burned down in 1932, a century and a half after it had been built for Adriaan de Booys, an entrepreneur and inventor of Amsterdam in 1779. He had vested interests in paints, tanbark and cement, and to that end he needed a mill for their production. In 1789 he was granted a patent for a particularly strong cement of his invention and he became the official supplier to the city until 1810. In that year he went bankrupt through the machinations of jealous colleagues and new 'recipes' for cement production. He'd already had to sell "De Adriaan" in 1802 because his prices for cement were being undercut by a miller from Dordrecht. The mill was reduced to grinding down tobacco to provide snuff for gentlemen... After the middle of the nineteenth century the mill was again converted, this time for the milling of cereals, but it was never a commercial success. Perhaps tourism will change that...

I made this guy in early 2018, and i personally consider him to be a massive turning point in my proficiency as a builder. The moc itself is a reimagining of an older character in a much sleeker refined style, which ended up being something i would try and stick to ever since.
The old photo i have of him is a bit outdated now as i made several minor changes to the moc each time i went to a new convention or fixed him up from a shelf fall, so i figured he deserved a new photoshoot. I like this pose a lot more too.

Nikola Tesla's prediction of a smartphone, Collier’s magazine interview, 1926:
"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance.
Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone.
A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket."

Inside Hammond's Castle
"Hammond Castle
John Hays Hammond, Jr. built his medieval-style castle between the years 1926 and 1929 to serve both as his home and as a backdrop for his collection of Roman, medieval, and Renaissance artifacts. The castle was constructed as a wedding present for his wife Irene Fenton Hammond to prove how much he cared for her. In addition, the building housed the Hammond Research Corporation, from which Dr. Hammond produced over 400 patents and the ideas for over 800 inventions. Second only to Thomas Alva Edison in number of patents, John Hammond was one of America's premier inventors. His most important work was the development of remote control via radio waves, which earned him the title, "The Father of Remote Control."
Visitors to Hammond Castle Museum are welcome to explore the castle on a self-guided tour of many rooms (map supplied) including the great hall, indoor courtyard, Renaissance dining room, two guest bedrooms, the inventions exhibit room, the library, the War room, the kitchens, the Natalie Hays Hammond exhibit room, servants quarters, as well as several smaller rooms and passage ways including a secret passageway. We suggest that you start your tour in our AV theater where you can view a short film on the life and times of the Hammonds.
Visitors may also enjoy the beauty of the castle grounds and a view of the Atlantic shore line while strolling through our gardens or sitting on a bench taking in that view..
In addition to self-guided tours, Hammond Castle Museum offers a number of educational programs and prearranged tour opportunities for school and tour groups. Our staff is always available to discuss the Hammonds with you as well as our unique collections."

The interior of the ground level of the Stables features a carriage room with wooden trusses, mahogany stalls and Spanish tile flooring.
The stalls still bear the names of Pellet's much loved horses. Some of the horses were carriage horses, and others saddle horses, but almost all had won numerous prizes and championships throughout North America.
When Pellett moved out of Casa Loma for the last time in 1923, his horses moved with him to the fine accommodations of Mary Lake.
In 1941 the Stables would serve as a top secret location for the assembly of a newly developed technology. ASDIC, named for its inventors, stands for Anti-Submarine Detection Investigation Committee. It was an early form of sonar and could detect a U-boat at a distance of 8 km (5mi) enabling naval vessels to search for and destroy enemy submarines.

"... as might be expected from an inventor, Hammond’s building was uniquely different. He included many features of his own design that were revolutionary and befitting the structure, and most are virtually indiscernible to the untrained eye. For example, Hammond’s collection of 15th Century facades was to be housed in the Courtyard being planned by the architects to meet Hammond’s vision of what a medieval village might be. Given the covered Courtyard was also to include tropical plantings, it was necessary to ensure a suitable level of humidity and space temperature. A pool was included to be the source of humidity. Steam pipes installed around the bottom perimeter of the pool to control water temperature, as well as to drive the correct amount of moisture in the air above. A green dye was also added as a decorative feature to obscure the depth of the water, which in fact, was a swimming pool. Overhead, steam-fed pipe-racks were installed just beneath the clerestory to offset radiant heat loss through the glass. Finally, a tropical rain downpour could be summed from above to water the vegetation, or if he preferred, a foggy evening. "
Arnold Henry Savage Landor (June 2, 1865 - December 26, 1924) - Pagoda of a Buddhist temple and other buildings in Kyoto (1889) - oil on wood - Exhibition "Painting Asia from life" - MAO, Museum of Oriental Art, Turin
Artista, antropologo, esploratore, avventuriero, scrittore, fotografo, giornalista e inventore: Arnold Henry Savage Landor (1865-1924) è una figura poliedrica estremamente interessante, che ha goduto di grande successo in vita e che, per motivi non del tutto chiari, è caduta totalmente nell’oblio dopo la sua morte. Savage Landor nacque a Firenze da padre inglese e madre italiana. Visse la sua adolescenza in un ambiente colto, in cui letteratura e arte erano passioni quotidiane. Tra i suoi maestri vi fu Stefano Ussi (1822-1901), che intuì le capacità del giovane e suggerì alla famiglia di lasciare che si dedicasse alla pittura. Partito presto alla scoperta del mondo, il giovane Henry visitò prima alcuni paesi dell’Africa settentrionale e dell’America, per muoversi poi alla volta dell’Asia: Giappone, Corea, Cina, dove dipinse centinaia di opere dal vero in uno stile 'impressionistico-macchiaiolo' di rapida esecuzione.
L'unicità documentaria delle sue creazioni appare evidente: in un periodo in cui ci si affidava già all'immediatezza della fotografia, Savage Landor ha persistito a lungo nel dipingere en-plein-air, prendendo però nettamente le distanze dalle visioni fantasiose e dallo stile minuziosamente classico della pittura di genere Orientalista per immergersi invece nel mondo asiatico reale, restituendone i vari aspetti con i tratti espressivi della modernità. Lo stile dell’artista anglo-fiorentino, rapido e conciso, si rivela infatti estremamente efficace nel 'fotografare' con immediatezza luoghi e persone che di lì a qualche decennio sarebbero completamente cambiati per conseguenza dell'incipiente globalizzazione.
Explorer, adventurer, writer, photographer, journalist and inventor: Arnold Henry Savage Landor (1865-1924) is an extremely interesting figure, who had great success in life and, for still unclear reasons, fell into oblivion after his death.
Savage Landor was born in Florence to an English father and an Italian mother. He spent his childhood and adolescence in very lively intellectual circles, where literature and art were daily passions. Among his teachers was Stefano Ussi (1822-1901), who sensed the young man's skills and suggested his family to let him devote to painting. Leaving home to discover the world, young Henry first visited some countries in North Africa and America, then moved to Asia: Japan, Korea, China, where he made hundreds of paintings in real life.
The documentary uniqueness of his creations is evident: at a time when the immediacy of photography was already being exploited, he long insisted on painting en plein air.
Although he was well aware of Orientalist painting, he stayed strictly away from its edulcorated, fantastical visions and from its meticulously classic style, preferring to plunge into the real world of Asia and portray it in a modern artistic manner.
The style of the Anglo-Florentine artist, quick and concise, proves to be extremely effective in "photographing" places and people who would have completely changed after a few decades as a result of the incipient globalization.
