Here's a frog taken with the front lens group (objective) from an Olympus 35-180mm lens removed from an Olympus IS-3 DLX film camera, reverse mounted onto the front of a Nikon 105mm f/2.5 AI-S lens. A bit distracting are the reflections of the foil covered reflector cards on my home-made pop-up flash macro bracket. After one pop of the flash the frog was gone. Focusing when using these close-up add-ons is done manually by moving the camera forward and backward until the image is sharpest. The primary lens is almost always set at infinity. Not all "kludged" add-on lenses are perfect for use on every lens. Some just aren't good optical "matches". Often there's a bit of testing involved in getting a lens plus add-on combination that's worth using. Despite using an aperture of f:22, depth of field is very thin.

Modified version of the LEGO Brick Bank (#10251).
There's now an ATM and the additional floor provides room for an insurance agent, who might not be the most respectable one.
I'm not sure why I spent the morning working on this but I did. Regarding the discussion here: www.flickr.com/groups/33116133@N00/discuss/72157603973680...
The question was posed by theBWproject "Has anyone looked into rewiring the Big Shot to be able to run a sync cord to a new flash?" To which TimmyToucan replied "Don't think so... I know next to nothing about how the magicubes work, but as far as I can tell the camera just shoots a little plastic nub into the flash to set off the charge.
No spark, no current, no metal contacts = no external flash."
TimmyToucan was wrong!
Basically, as shown above, you need to pop open a magicube and slice open the sync chord for your flash. Smash one flash bulb (I smashed mine in a Mello's Popcorn bag so that glass wouldn't go everywhere) and put the metal "post" back into the plastic. Wrap one of the copper wires around the post. Wrap the other around the metal paper clip business in the middle of the flash and WHAMO. It should sync with the shutter just fine. Got it?
Someone with a flash meter will need to figure out the next step: how much light the MagiCube puts out and thus how bright your flash needs to be.
It's not an elegant solution but it works. I don't have any film left at the moment. If someone uses this method please send me a link to the final photo result.
Hope I just saved you a TON of money on MagiCubes.

As progress continues on my layout, I have moved on to building the small storage yard at the back of the layout. If I built the yard lead switches using a totally "legal" configuration of switches and track elements, the resulting arrangement to yield 3x sidings would occupy 144 studs. However, by modifying the track elements into a more compact and prototypical arrangement, the same lead arrangement can be achieved in just 96 studs. The resulting arrangement is still compliant with an overall 16-stud interval geometry and offers a much smoother path for rolling stock to navigate in and out of the yard. This arrangement has a repetitive pattern of appending a "stub switch" (truncated diverging road) with alternating full and 1/2 straights in the diverging road. The eagle-eyed will notice that I messed up one siding by cutting the 1/2 straight 1-stud too long--a error easily corrected at the baseboard end! The final road has a full curve + half curve + 1/4 straight to maintain alignment with 16-stud centreline geometry. I chose to build this track arrangement as a monolithic complete assembly because I could build the entire assembly within a alignment jig. The jig (built on baseplates) held the track elements in place whilst I solvent welded plastic reinforcement bonds between adjacent track elements. These are hidden within the rail channels. It also served to hold the track in place whilst soldering the bonds between the new spliced metal rail tops--I step avoided if you're building out of RC track elements. I must admit to being relatively "comfortable" with hacking Lego track elements in order to yield track configurations which are both more prototypical and more flexible.
p.s. obviously the the switch "stand" part of the switch has to be cut back in order to fit within this compact arrangement. In my case, I'm not concerned since I remove the switch bar and operate the switch with Tortoise point motors mounted below the layout.
Just thought I'd try to modify the Phase 1 Visor to look a bit more like the Phase 2. It's a bit rough though.
Some more modifications:
Exchangeable "canvas" soft top, folding side steps and narrower tires (3rd party items, originally for RC modeling).
Well he is kinda finished. I see a lot of things I could've done better. But I will alter him when I have time again.
I will sand his eyes a tad better for example. They are a tad bit grainy now. So it needs to be smoother.
But in the end I am happy with the result. He is the little snarling guy I wanted him to be, haha.
Fun project ^^
Any Ideas to make it look any more Russian (other than "loose the rails").
It's the German-made MP5 modified to fire the 7.62x25 round and fire slightly faster at 900 RPM. It has an 80 round drum magazine.
Of all the railways that ever existed in Britain, the Cromford &
High Peak Railway (C&HPR) is by far the most interesting. While the line was in full use by 1831, the line saw plenty of changes during it's lifetime.
I have already covered Hurdlow incline being bypassed and closed in 1869 on my page and have recently turned my attention to Dowlow.
At the bottom of the image we see the current line going up to Dowlow quarry. The embankment higher up was the original alignment of the line.
The C&HPR was predominantly constructed by Canal engineers and featured long flat straights and sharp turns with steep inclines in lieu of Locks with winching engines. By the 1890's, the Ashbourne line was under construction by the LNWR, one of the later lines to be added to Britain's vast network of railways.
The late construction of this line meant more advanced construction techniques from experienced railway engineers were used; long sweeping turns and long shallow gradients (relatively!) that steam locos of the era could easily climb.
The line was envisaged to carry passengers so speed was an important factor on the line. By 1887, the LNWR had also taken over the operation of the C&HPR. The old alignment of C&HPR, which was serving the quarries near Dowlow, were inadequate for running passenger trains on and the LNWR had constructed a new line climbing out of Buxton from their terminus station, which would bypass the old alignment. This is what is seen in this image.
My assumptions is that the old alignment would have closed completely as the Ashbourne line opened in 1899.
I will next cover a tri-junction off to right of this image on my side of the line where this picture was taken. It has incredibly sharp turns and amazingly stone sleepers still in the place they were when presumably put down nearly 200 years ago!

After three months of the modification project, we are finally starting the last phase. The subject’s immune system is no longer fighting the medication and his muscles have been dissolved from the bones. According to Professor Rosenfeld’s calculations, they will easily reattach to the carbon skeleton after the procedure. Our head engineer Mr. Gordon and his team finished the prototype ten days ago and produced the first usable version. We are now making the final calibrations. The subject has been sedated and the observation team has arrived. The insertion procedure will start at 3pm, after the gouvernment‘s permission is given.
As you might noticed, this small but IMO really cool Vignette was built by N-11 Ordo, Mr Grievous and me together in the year 2011. But we never uploaded it for some reason so we came up with the idea of doing it now. I hope you enjoy it as much as I still do. Old School ftw!
Modification of set #10220 (VW T1 Camper Van) with different colours and a slightly different interior.
Work in progress:
modifications of 'Taiga' face mold, sculpting on the cast porcelain part - progressing.
Рабочий процесс:
модификации модели лица "Тайга", изменение скульптуры на фарфоровой отливке - продолжение.
Modification toward a pastel of a great blue heron. The original picture was taken on South Padre Island, Texas.
Nope, I'm not tearing down my Volvo NL12 unit. I did cut the chassis some time ago but just to give it another look. The chassis was still raised with Technic beam and I want to get rid of the Technic look of it. The axles will be renewed as well and will be much better detailed. No, this model is still a stayer. Have no reason to say goodbye to it yet!
Modification of @thomas_jenkins_bricks fantastic A-wing design to better fit the blueprints and scale of inthert’s X-wing. Taking into consideration that the X-wing is 37 studs long and length of Lego A-wing=Length of Lego X-wing×Ratio=37 studs×0.552=20.4 studs, so the target length of the model ended up being ~20 studs long. Almost get a chibi vibe from it, the nose section could’ve been done a bit better imo but it’s alright. Also shoutout to @m_br1cks for his advice and support during the build process.
A bit of modifications made to the Lego original design, First Order Treadspeeder: Shortened the length of the vehicle, updated the armor plates on the rear and the front, colour theme changed.
I have attended a photography workshop today. We have been shooting with two models down in a secret passage towards the Nymphenburg Castle in Munich. Outside it was 35°C, in this cellar, it was probably around 20°C, so it was a pretty good way to spend this day. Great location, great models, great crew, big time fun.

The EB3 type electric slug of the Prussian state railroad in LEGO.
The EB3 was delivered about a year after his two older cousins EB1 and 2 in 1915 and included quite a few modifications and improvements: a pantograph and additional switch box for semi-autonomous operation, a larger air intake for better cooling, a simplified hood without the "hump" for the cooling fan, and a oil-circuit breaker, all mounted on a stretched frame. Unfortunately, no pictures exist of it, just a couple of drawings based on descriptions by contemporary witnesses.
My model is unpowered an relies on a control car to push it around, but the headlights are fully functional.
For more details on the concept behind the 1914 Prussian demonstrator trains, see here. During the testing phase, the EB3 ran both at the center of the train as a helper, and as leading engine replacing one of his cousins.
Same photo as the previous posting except with sexy black pantyhose instead of suntan. I always comment that I love red and black together. Which one do you like better?
A minor modification I did for the LEGO Speed Champions 76895 Ferrari F8 Tributo. I decided to replace the sticker headlights to the transparent pieces. Looks even better, but not accurate as like the real model. This modification is just for the looks, nothing particularly follow the real replica model. For those of you who doesn't like stickers here's an option for you.
Feel free to spread the idea and don't forget to tag me 😉
Modification of an earlier version.

This is something I wanted to upload for years now ! In 2011, n7mereel, Mr. Grievous and me built this, but never came around to uploading it for several reasons. Now I finally found the photos on my PC, reedited them and we decided to uploade them.
I still like it very much, even though it is a bit old.
Hope you agree !
This old barn had attached timber corrals and stalls. It appears as though the timber rails were removed with a saw of some sort leaving the remnants of the timber rails behind.
Alright, here is my second mod. I did not make this yesterday/today if that's what you're wondering. I actually created 3 mods together and finished them all roughly the same time. This was just one of the smaller modifications. It includes a red-dot, and an extra magazine. Not comparable to my RPK, i'd say.
I've really started to like modding, and i think that I will do a lot more of it. The only thing I don't like is cutting up my brickarms. :3 I need to buy extras! I actually have two more mods that I'll show the next two days.
The weapon was not inspired by anyone specifically, but those added have inspired me to mod in general. I love their modding, and I think that at some time, I may be able to mod as good as them!
On a totally different note, Bricks Cascade is in 8 days! :D Can't wait to see a lot of you guys there!
Feedback on all of my mods are appreciated more than you could imagine. I actually use the feedback on my future mods. Thanks again fellas!
Jake
