A few quick modifications I made to the Exosuit.
The first change was to the arms. I hated that pnuematic T-joint prevented the arms from extending fully. The problem when removing that part was the arm would hyper extend backwards and did not seem right. So I replaced www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32013 with www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32016 and using a small axle, extended it with a bush. Now it fully extends and the arm stops completely flat. I also extended the reach of the arm with a technic bush right after the elbow joint.
While it does not necessarily need it, the Exosuit was lacking in firepower. In order to attach something from the back, I had to change the position of the ball joint www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=50923 . The part now extends to the side a little farther out, instead of up and down. The axle hole can be accessed easily now. Using nothing but technic parts, each shoulder has 4 mounted cannons that can move up and down and are independent of arm movement.

I plan on doing many modifications, especially to the arms. I really dislike those barrels so I plan on making the forearms more like the upper arms, and also plan on giving it articulation in the wrist, adding small spotlights to the top, making the base of the feet wider for stability, attaching another hose to the arms like the way the existing one goes to the legs (saw the idea on Reddit) and likely a whole lot more.
A section of straight chassis rail has been welded into place, replacing the sloping rear section that suited its previous tractor unit role.

Removed: DirecTV Tivo, Xbox (with Linux installed), home theater amplifier.
Leaving: US PS2, Japan PS2, Xbox 360, Airport Express, tube HD TV Sony KV-30HS510, on-board power strip.
Now this cabinet can be rolled from room to room, including facing the backyard. Outdoor wireless internet and game controllers!
When the cabinet is docked in the media room, I can plug the optical inputs from the PS2 and the Xbox 360 into the home theater stereo, sitting nearby. Gotta repair/solder the input jack on my old subwoofer.

Apparently a CL77 battery was installed on the bike, which isn't a very big deal, just slightly taller than usual. Which means that the original (much thicker) piece of rubber insulation that's here keeps the bracket from clamping down and holding the battery in place. I took an old piece of tire tube, cut it to spec and glued it on with RTV sealant.
Problem solved.
Modification to Stitch N Bitch Happy hooker Ruffle Corset Belt...see modifications on my blog thecrimsonowl.blogspot.com/2009/08/hooking-happily.html
The bubble level fitted to the now external, polar scope. Aligned the reticle on the horizontal mode and then adjusted level to the same position. Actually helps during setup leveling the mount in the horizontal plane.
At Lego shows in 2024, my Castle class would occasionally derail when there was a kink in the track, particularly when entering corners.
I put this down to the chassis setup I'd chosen, based on Carl Greatrix's previous Castle model, whereby the rear bogie wheels were fixed to the main chassis. In some cases, it seemed these wheels were getting raised off the track by the driving wheels behind.
I've now re-worked the chassis to have a more conventional pivoted bogie. There is still only 1 set of flanged drivers, to allow the bogie to not crash sideways into the cylinders. However now the bogie is on a single pivot, positioned above the rear bogie wheels.
This should help to 'steer' the loco into corners, and the little shoulder on the pin piece also helps to keep the weight on the bogie wheels.
It's always a delicate and not entirely reliable balancing act to use what this tool was before I added the cross-member that's resting on the vise covers. Bottle boss heads weren't always held square, housing stop alignment could shift and sometimes the stop would slide radially. The relatively heavy cross bar is a simple approach that anchors fixture alignment adequately and rectifies those sorts of problems. I'm very happy with it.
Another Matchbox Series No4 Dodge K Series Stake Bed Truck Modification. 1966 to 1968 - 1-75 Series. My second restoration but in this case a modification of the original using all Matchbox parts which I like. The box was off a container truck and I have no idea where the truck went but the box is in perfect shape. I pealed off the old animal sticker and made my own. I wanted something 1968 related and I ended up finding this logo on the world wide web. What do you think? I made a photo copy onto WORD and printed it onto a label, cut it out and stuck it to the side. Took about 20 mins. I like it.
This is a photograph from the 1st round of the 2015 Mullingar Road League which was held in Belvedere House and Gardens, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 6th May 2015 at 20:00. This year the 5KM was ran on a modified route based on the route from the last couple of years. Tonight the final 1KM stayed within the Belvedere Gardens bringing runners down to the lakeside for a second time and finishing along the aptly named Stream Of Life. The route modification meant that the race offered a slightly faster route than the hill finish of previous years.
The race is promoted by Mullingar Harriers for the Pat Finnerty Memorial Cup. Competitors need to run 3 races out of the 4 races in May (any order) to be considered in the overall placing in categories at the conclusion of the league. Over 350 people took part in tonight's event. The weather was perfect for running with sunshine with just a little breeze. The new finish area provided a nice space for runners to stay around and chat in the evening sunshine. The Mullingar Road League 2015 has started off successfully and looks to add to the success in the history of this great series.
The "Road League" is something of a misnomer but is an indication of the League's origins on the roads around Ladestown Mullingar prior to it's move into Belvedere in 2008. The Road League is the envy of many other races in the country as the Belvedere locations offers a completely traffic free 5KM route.
We have an extensive set of photographs from tonight in the following Flickr Album: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/16772614064/

Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs
We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?
The explaination is very simple.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

It has pneumatic suspension and motorized/remotely controlled driving and steering. It has a working steering wheel and remotely controlled original functions (doors, rear spoiler and hood - choice of a function is done manually with gearbox lever, like in the original).
It has additional two L motors for driving and M motor for steering, two IR receivers (one of them V2). Original battery box has been replaced with 8878 rechargeable battery box which is smaller so I could hide it behind panels at the rear for more realistic appearance.
Original suspension (6.5 L hard springs) has been changed with 6.5 L soft spring + small pneumatic cylinder, for all wheels. It has large pneumatic pump at the back and pneumatic switch at the cabin for controlling riding height.

Lens mod: glue or fix a piece of black card or stiff paper with small hole for aperture on front and reverse of lens. Make sure it doesn't foul focusing mechanism.

Based on the amazing Micro-Model designed by master builder Mariann Asanuma for Brickjournal
Ignoring the elegant lines of Mariann's model, I made a few tweaks to the design, extending the roof and adding a chimney. I also gave a bigger hat to the snowman, 'cause I'm a rebel like that.
This is a pinhole camera, which I made out of a cheap 35mm Vivitar point-and-shoot camera, which you can easily find at your local thrift store/bargain basement for less than a couple of dollars.
Basically all I did with this camera is remove the lens and shutter mechanism (Which was fairly easy, because there was not very much to the mechanism). Then I took a small piece of tinfoil (with a pinhole, of course) and placed it right about where the lens was originally. The removal of both the lens and shutter assembly compromised the cameras “light-tightness”, so a liberal amount of electrical tape was used to help seal the camera, and make it light-tight again. I also used a thin strip of black construction paper with a small square cut in the center to act as a shutter.
The first time I ran a roll of film through it, it confused the poor guys at the photo lab. They did not know what to make of it, some of the pictures where over/under exposed, quite blurry, and there where uneven gaps between the frames on the negative. I have recently made a few adjustments, and everything seems to be working great
With this camera, I have found that on a nice bright sunny day, with 200 ISO film, a 1-2 second exposure is all you really need. I should get around to uploading some of those pictures soon!
Looks nice with the monochrome green, although YouTube plays in color.
If you're running Cyanogenmod 7, try out the RenderFX Widget on the home screen. Works for Green, Red and some other colors.

For anyone who buys the InCase Origami cover/stand for the Apple BT keyboard and their iPad, they may find the preset screen angle a little steep in some situations. A three-inch strip of velcro, which stores away neatly in the cover when closed, is a home mod that offers a very wide range of angles. Brian Byrne/Kilcullen Diary.

I've wanted to build this since the Fire Brigade set came out. Before I finally got round to starting earlier this year I Googled to see if any one else had posted their version and found www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=406569 via www.classic-town.net/?paged=55 which is simply fantastic. I have borrowed heavily but tried to do my own thing in several areas.
Still a bit to do, mostly on the interior, but I'm pretty pleased so far. I have put in some life lights including the lamp post but I need to reorganise these now that the building is closer to completion.
You'll get your photos then Jon :-)
