Soon the approaching rain storm will make very slight modifications to this desert landscape. Those tiny changes eventually lead to these natural beauty sites that all photographers love.
This is my fifth modular building. Well, to be fair, it's more a modification than it is my own creation.
My husband bought the instructions for the Apple Store a while ago and enjoyed building it a lot. But since we are not that much into Apple he asked me to replace the store by his favourite brand.
I liked the original building but I always thought that it's not quite the right scale and doesn't really fit together with the other modular buildings. So I took the elements that I like (which are the colours, the facade of the ground floor and the layout of the smaller window) and created my own version.
There's now a Microsoft store on the ground floor with real sliding doors. The interior is mainly based on the original one, only adjusted to the different corporate design.
On the first and second floor there are apartments of a comic-strip artist and a musician.
The highlight is the cocktail bar on the roof terrace which is considered an insider's tip among Bricktown.
Marcus los his tooth piece ;)
I made it of apoxie for him and painted it. The thing looks like some creepy monster on its own :P
taken on the 21 dec 2012 in wiltshire uk...... Im not sure what these lines in the sky are but as you can see from the pictures they seemed to be pulling the spray left by the aircraft across the sky (see next 2 pics in my photostream). As much as i dont like to believe it, i think weather modification is real and poses a great threat to all of us and life on earth in general as we all have to breathe the same air !.. The reason i post these pictures is to try and raise awareness as i feel that the more people that know about this, the more chance there is of putting an end to this complete madness !!! For those of you who have not heard of this before please research geo engineering, chemtrails, solar radiation management... Anyway thanks for looking at my pictures and thanks to all you guys who continue to post great pictures here on flickr.....
In case you have missed it, on my website I explain why I believe the rear suspension of the LEGO 42083 Bugatti Chiron has a design flaw and how I think it could have been solved: www.nkubate.com/model-optimization-a-42083-showcase/
So, here's another modification of the Green Grocer (#10185).
Actually the plan was to dismantle the Green Grocer to make some space for other MOCs, but instead I ended up rebuilding it for the second time.
Now I really like it, I guess.
Added another floor, rebuilt the roof and stairs again and added some more furnishings.

Chronodex Mods by Folks at Fountain Pen Network
Here's an update of the Chronodex Weekly Planner for 2012.
I'm very happy to find like minded people who love the Chronodex idea. Although it was first designed for the Midori Traveler's Notebook format, folks at Fountain Pen Network really took it to the next level.
Coronado took the time to modify it into a more popular portrait format and in half letter size for his Levenger Circa. He also changed the grid background into dots so it is less intrusive. You can download Coronado's version of the Chronodex here.
Coronado also made a Levenger Circa version of the bookmark I portrayed. Like minded.
jsButterfly, who has just started a new blog called Paper Spaces, made Chronodex her 2012 diary too, also following Coronado's bookmark hack.
If you are into radial thinking for heightened creativity, or simply want to have a little change of your scheduling method, please do try Chronodex and share with us fans here on Scription or the Chronodex Flickr group.
Lastly, Boris from Russia, how do you find using Chronodex? I'm yet to receive any comments from people from Hong Kong and Japan. どのようにスケジューリングのChronodex方法が好きですか？

I don't know if there are any more strobists out there who own larger scale not-so-portable strobes like I do, but I think this would be more geared to you I think. I have 4 Alien Bee strobes, along with the grid spots that I really enjoy using, but they aren't the greatest thing to go "portable" with.
I like using the AlienBee/White Lightning 7" reflectors and grid spots, and wanted to find a way to use them with my SB-800 (although this could be fitted to any flash unit I believe). So, I set out to Home Depot to search the isles to see if anything would work. In the electrical section, I found this 3" to 2" pvc bushing that fit very snuggly into the 7" reflector.
It was a little long, so with a hacksaw I cut off the excess lip up to the inside support bars. Next, I outlined with a marker the shape of the SB800 onto the bushing. With a file set, I filed down the area that I outlined with marker until the flash unit fit all the way in until it was all the way in (this took a little while to shape out correctly to fit).
Once I had a good tight fit, I removed SB800 from the pvc, placed the pvc into the reflector, then re-inserted the flash unit back into the bushing (this gave a nice tight fit into the reflector).
Like I said, if you don't already own these, I don't know if this will be of any help to you. Also, maybe someone can find a better way to improvise this, but it works great for me, and maybe it will work for someone else as well!

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.
Ça faisait longtemps que je voulais retailler son nez - Voilà c'est fait !
Since a long time, i want to modified her nose - well, it's done !

Modification of set #10220 (VW T1 Camper Van) with different colours and a slightly different interior.
Here are some modifications to the 2023 UCS X-Wing Starfighter set 75355. The landing gear stand is the biggest addition, I've also made subtle changes to the nose of the ship and added an almost correctly scaled R2-D2. Free instructions and parts lists for all three mods are on Rebrickable.
rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-149544/ron_mcphatty/ucs-x-wing-s...
The Landing Gear Stand provides an easy way to display the X-Wing on a coffee table. The ship doesn't need to be modified at all, just lifted off the set's original stand and slotted onto the positioning support. The gear are built into the stand itself!
As a seperate mod I've rebuilt the top surface of the nose section to give it a bit of a slope, hopefully improving the very flat looking nose. The side panels need some slight modifications to fill some gaps and I've made the nose grey, just out of personal perference.
The midi-scale R2-D2 is slightly too large but I think looks good next to the ship when landed! Huge thanks to Jan Woźnica for letting me use his very clever R2 design and make some adjustments, please check out his instagram (@john.carter.creations) and his awesome Tales of The Space Age Lego Ideas set!
This is a modification of my alternate build of the LEGO 10278 Police Station - the corner building „The Daily Press“- I built in November 2021, since I recognised that I wasn't able to display the original corner building in the shelf in my living room properly.
This new non corner version is also built only with bricks from the LEGO 10278 Police Station. It's built a bit less tricky than the original building, but nevertheless I think I like it a bit better than the other one. Don't know exactly why – perhaps because I don't have to choose between the two facades but have them next to each other.
Of course there are also building instructions available reb.li/m/97319

Well I will let you in on a secret, ok it is not but anyway, when my wife comes across Lego sets on sale for about 50% off she lets me know and I thought on this one it might be worth the parts but then I decided to try an alternate build so here it is. Except for one part, a 2x4 white tile on the trunk, it would be considered an alternate.
This is probably one of my best pictures I've taken so far. I took this for my portraits assignment at my photography school (International Center for Photography). This was taken in SoHo, NY. Believe it or not, these two guys were the nicest guys i met that day
This is a modification of the official Speed Champions Corvette set. It uses many of the pieces from the original, but there are some extras needed. The additional parts are pretty common and should only cost around $10-15 to gather if you don't already have them in your collection. As you can see from the photos, I used the sticker sheet to add extra detail. I cut the side skirt and spoiler stickers on the C8.R down to fit on 1x6 tiles, and the headlights on the Stingray. I used many of the same connections and techniques from the original set to accomplish the shaping of the vehicles and I think they both turned out very well.
Modification of an old set, shown in its natural environment (my back patio). Roll on, good buddy, roll on.
My good friend Oliver Becker has given me the privilege of taking a shot at rendering another one of his great creations! This is my modification of Oliver's "Dreadnaught".

The Colt Tornado (a name that almost got me sued by a friend; you know who you are) with some small changes. Mainly the sides, which needed some vents. I achieved the structure of those sides by modding some brackets.

My sewing scissors (actual size and all). Old picture taken right after it was done, a new one should be up soon :)
The Smart city car series was introduced in 1998. The first modifications followed in 2002.
The Smart was a Daimler-Chrysler project.
The name Smart was founded during the early period of this project when Swatch was involved. Entrepreneur and co-founder of Swatch Group Nicolas Hayek (Beirut, 1928-2010) offered his ideas for a small microcar before 1993 at Volkswagen. When this didn't work well he turned to Mercedes-Benz. So the brand name Smart (Swatch Mercedes ART) was founded.
Chief designer was Gerhard Steinle.
599 cc L3 engine.
Production Smart series: 1998-2024.
Production Smart 1st gen.: 1998-2007.
Without reg. number plate.
Number seen: 2.

A little bit poseable custom job in holiday. :)
I added the revoltech mid-size ball joint to deacon's shoulder, and modified the neck part shape of the head, the head joint's peg now is 45 degree backward, not looking down anymore. the creature more looks like my ideal figure now. :)
