This is my take on the Back to the Future DeLorean time machine. I wanted to make it as accurate to the movie as possible including the lightning rod, Mr. Fusion, etc. as well as being able to hold figures.
Another thing I really wanted to do was to put transparent bricks in all of the windows, because most MOCs just leave the windows empty. I also decided to include opening doors, despite the fact that they're pretty fragile.
This is actually the second time I have built this vehicle. The old one was extremely disproportionate, so I decided to have another go. I'm much happier with it this time around.
The Watergate Hotel, Washington, D.C. Color adjusted from a black and white exposure.
This photograph has been spotted as high as #321 on the Flickr daily Interestingness charts. It was the Photo of the Day for November 1, 2006 on the DCist blog.
The water motion in this reminds me of a washing machine. When I was a kid I remember being mesmerized by my grandparents front loading washing machine. At home we had a top loader, so it was something new and interesting when I was little.
My Flickr Pro Account expired today. When I went to look at my stats for today I got an ad page, so I went to renew my account for another year. Overall I've been pretty happy with Flickr, so I clicked through to renew my 1-year subscription and eventually got to the end of the process and was presented with this:
"You are about to subscribe to the Yahoo! service listed above. You will be charged the total due, on an auto-renew basis, for each term as shown above, until you cancel."
As a consumer I find this kind of policy offensive. It's a tactic used by second rate companies to collect recurring subscription fees even after a customer stops using the service. Some people find automatic renewal to be convenient, but for them there has always been an option to enroll in auto-renewal. This policy change was enough to get me to take a step back and reassess what I get from Flickr, and how it compares with other sites.
The best feature Flickr Pro offers has no competitive alternative that I know of, and that is unlimited storage of full resolution photos. This is the single feature that has convinced me to renew, at least for now. At some point I am planning to build a gallery with a service like Zenfolio, or Smugmug, or one of the other similar options. Once I do, this Flickr feature will become much less important.
The other feature Flickr has that I enjoy is their groups, but since Google+ added communities I find it to be almost as good. I still think Flickr's groups are better, especially with the way photos are added, but communities are close enough, and the activity and engagement from Google+ communities is actually much better than Flickr.
My Flickr presence had about a 1 year head start on my Google+ presence, so the group I interact with on Flickr was initially much larger. Now that I've spent time on Google+ I've found that my personal community is growing many times faster than on Flickr. It's also much easier to find active relevant and interesting discussions on Google+.
Flickr has Explore, which is a huge opportunity for exposure that doesn't really exist on Google+, and only kind of exists on 500px (if you can get to the front page). The problem is, despite having improved my photography (in my opinion), and definitely increased the engagement I get on the photos I post, the last time I had a photo in explore was March of 2012 (13 months ago). Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to complain about this, and I understand it's a complex algorithm that accounts for many different factors, but if I never have a photo reach explore, it's not a relevant feature to consider when I'm deciding whether or not to continue using Flickr, or renew my Flickr Pro.
The last feature Flickr Pro offers that I do really enjoy is stats. I like to see where my photo views come from. As far as I know, nothing like this exists on other social networks.
Ultimately, I renewed my Flickr Pro for 3 months (instead of the 1-year I was originally planning) and immediately canceled it so it won't auto-renew. In 3 months, I'll reassess my Flickr use, but for now, I'll continue on. But Flickr, I want you to know I'm not happy with your policy changes, and your competition is evolving much faster than you, so our days together may be numbered.
Excavator and drilling rig at sunset. Making new road between Arendal and Tvedestrand in Norway. 7 million m3 of solid rock to be relocated!
I found this little 3" plastic machine today at an estate sale. I just love it. It closes up and you can tuck the machine away when finished.
Based on the Martian unit from 1998 game "Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds". The Bombarding Machine is light assault walker armed with Heat-Ray and Black Smoke canister launcher.
It was built for a contest on Russian forum, and because of its harsh limitations I was unable to make this thing minifig-scaled; also there are some differences with the in-game model of machine.

This is a detail view of a giant machine for the industrial production of matches. It's on display in the Swiss Match Museum ('Schweizerisches Zündholzmuseum') in Schönenwerd.
The Enigma Machine played a key role in World War II. The German military depended on the Enigma Machine to encrypt communications, but the Allies invested a tremendous amount of effort in decryption and achieved significant success. This provided the Allies a large advantage.
I believe this is a German Wehrmacht (military) Enigma (please let me know if that is not correct). At the upper right are the keys pressed by the operator, entering the characters to be encrypted. At the left, under a cover, are three rotors that turned with each key stroke, changing the encryption code with each letter. Between the two is the lampboard. As the operator pressed a key, the encrypted version of that letter would light on the lampboard.
Seen at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, Louisiana.
In the movie can’t find this - War Machine HulkBuster, if there is no prototype, I will improve one of my own, equipped with Aegis carrier Vulcan and rocket, the combat power index is close to the top.
This Tactical Machine Pistol was designed for simplicity and reliability, the gun uses a two stage trigger and uses a telescoping bolt for simplicity, each TMP-95 comes with a twin stage silencer with titanium baffels for maximum noise reduction and operating life and the magazine sizes can range from 16, 20, 25, 30, and 50 round magazine capacities. the stamped upper and the plastic lower with sheet steel skeleton ensures this gun will work in the harshest of environments.
Cost: 995$ USD
