On the moon of Cephalus IV, a small lunar outpost stands alone amidst strange landscape…
I built this for an @connlug quarterly build challenge. I built it as a modular section, so ideally I can connect it with other modules to create a larger base. Hope you enjoy! Comments & criticism welcome
This goes with the previous photo amongst the cotton fields near Corpus Christi, Texas. Taken across a neighboring field, the truck is hauling modules of compressed harvested cotton to the gin for cleaning and processing. The modules are huge, only eight of them fit on a 40 ft flatbed.
This is the my final piece for the last module of my two year foundation degree. A lot of time and energy was spent in getting this image and big thanks to everyone who helped out and starred in it :)

The rim of a large crater, with some smaller craters within. I originally planned to have this rim be at one end of my base, with the entire base inside the crater. But now I'm thinking of building parts of it outside, e.g. I have a few Windtraps that would make sense to have on the rim, to pick up the maximum amount of wind. Also, I have a force field barrier, that would make more sense to have on the outside than on the inside of the crater...
Coronado Beach — the lifeguard towers there remind me a little of the Apollo Lunar Module.

"This is a model of the Apollo Command Module, which carried a total of 27 astronauts to lunar orbit aboard nine missions between 1968 and 1972. Launched by a Saturn V rocket, the largest and most powerful rocket ever built, the Command Module was the only part of the spacecraft recovered at the end of a mission."

Alright Gentlemen, you know what we are here for. Recover that ACS module, and if you have to, shoot anyone who stands in our way.

This shows part of a mock-up of the Columbus module of the International Space Station (ISS), located at the National Space Centre in Leicester, UK. The Columbus module is the primary research laboratory for the European Space Agency (ESA) on the ISS.
The interior of this mock-up highlights various scientific and operational racks used by astronauts in space:
Experimental Racks: These standardized cabinets house scientific equipment for research in areas such as biology, fluid physics, and material science.
Operational Equipment: The panels include a variety of control units, monitoring screens, and power supply interfaces necessary for maintaining the module's environment and systems.
Visual Indicators: Many modules feature labels like "Processing Unit" and include specialized components such as Large Area Picosecond Photodetectors (LAPPD), which are used for high-precision timing in imaging and physics experiments.
The real Columbus module was constructed in Turin, Italy, by Alcatel Alenia Space (now Thales Alenia Space) with functional equipment and software designed by EADS (now Airbus Defence and Space) in Bremen, Germany. The module was launched aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis on 7 February 2008, during mission STS-122. Columbus is operated by the Columbus Control Centre at the German Space Operations Center, part of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen near Munich. In 2008, ESA estimated the total cost of Columbus—including construction, ten years of operations, scientific experiments, and supporting ground infrastructure—at approximately €1.4 billion (£1.21 billion).
The National Space Centre in Leicester, is a museum and educational resource located on the north side of the city in Belgrave next to the River Soar. The prominent structure here is the Rocket Tower, which stands 42 meters tall with minimal steel supports and is clad in semi-transparent ETFE "pillows".
The National Space Centre covers the fields of space science and astronomy, along with a space research programme in partnership with the University of Leicester. Many of the exhibits, including upright rockets which are housed in the tower which has become one of Leicester's most recognisable landmarks. The National Space Centre contains the United Kingdom's largest planetarium. It is a registered charity with a board of trustees.

On July 16, 1969, the huge, 363-feet tall Saturn V rocket launches on the Apollo 11 mission from Pad A, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center, at 9:32 a.m. EDT. Onboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft are astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot. Apollo 11 was the United States' first lunar landing mission. While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the Lunar Module "Eagle" to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the moon, astronaut Collins remained with the Command and Service Modules "Columbia" in lunar orbit.

A great deal of little variations in the same architectural scheme: windows open, close; doors and so on.
So my big project is done. Here's a shot of me sitting behind all the various sections to give a sense of scale. If I can remember how all this goes back together (and I can find a vehicle big enough to carry it), this thing will be at BFVA 2014.
My latest acquisition! I subscribe to the Atlas Obscura newsletter and one day read about this innovative tape measure from Le Corbusier, the master of modern architecture. I had never heard of this Modulor Rule before and found the article to be a very interesting read. And when it mentioned that Princeton Architectural Press and Fondation Le Corbusier had created a facsimile edition of the Modulor Rule I awaited it’s release in September this year and got my very own copy. Which of course fitted perfectly in the Corner of Curiosities. You can read the article here: www.atlasobscura.com/articles/le-corbusiers-modulor-rule
About my Corner of Curiosities: A few years ago I bought a little box with drawers, thinking I would collect a few special bits and pieces in there. I parked this little set on top of my IKEA chest of six drawers which stands in a corner of my apartment. In time, I added more small shelfs, drawers and boxes and began to put curious items on display in all the little nooks and crannies. Quirky little things I mostly find on flea markets, but also get off the net. This corner of my home serves as inpiration, and every once in I while I walk up the IKEA dresser, put my elbows on top and rest my chin in my hands while I let my eyes wander through all these curious things. Moments such as these give spark my imagination and spurs my motivation to doodle in my journals. The collection is’nt all that special, as it’s not very easy finding fairly cheap, quirky and curious things, small enough to fit in the corner. My collection is constantly changing, if I find a new collectible, something else has to go or be moved around - as the corner now more or less is full.
Anywho, I thought I’d dedicate a photo album to this Corner of Curiosities, here on Flickr - probably for no other purpose than to tickle my own imagination :)
Hi to anyone still watching this account 🙋♀️ I haven’t built anything or been active in the community for several years now, but recently unearthed this creation from 2013 and realized I never photographed it.
This was built for the Brickfair 2013 Cyberpunk/Apocalego display, using a modular system designed by Carter Baldwin. The Technic framework allowed builders to combine modules, stacking our segments into an eclectic city. Unfortunately I don’t have any photos of the whole display but I’m sure they are floating around somewhere.
If anyone’s interested in the non-LEGO stuff I’ve been making since, you can find me at Instagram.com/dillonsamuelson
Thanks for looking!
The Lunar Module (LM) was a two-stage spacecraft built by Grumman that was the first vehicle designed to operate solely in the vacuum of space and designed to ferry two astronauts from lunar orbit to the Moon's surface and back. The "Eagle" was the specific lunar module used during the Apollo 11 mission, which was the first mission to land humans on the Moon on July 20, 1969. The mission fulfilled President John F. Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth before the end of the 1960s.
The descent stage of the Lunar Module, the lower section, remained on the Moon after the astronauts left. The ascent stage, which contained the crew compartment, lifted off from the Moon to rendezvous with the orbiting command module. Six of these descent stages remain at their landing sites on the Moon today.
This model is a display at the National Space Centre in Leicester, UK. This is a major highlight of the centre, which also houses a 42-meter-high rocket tower, the UK's largest planetarium, and other space-related galleries with interactive displays and artifacts. As well as this model of the Apollo Lunar Lander, there is a real moon rock collected during the Apollo 17 mission.

Soudain le réel bascule :

The 20th and final module,
also the biggest of them all.
At last I have my Island.
Before I start building my Fort and sea town I may refine some bits of the landscape first.
The next Deadline is November for another exhibition event.
By then I should have finalized the landscape and added lots of trees and other greenery.
Ce serait mon fond d’écran, si je ne l’avais pas sous les yeux tous les jours :) ! Ces images ont été prises lors de l’amarrage du Cygnus NG-16 le mois dernier et montrent quelques belles pièces de technologie spatiale. En haut sur la photo c’est le module gonflable BEAM, connecté au Node-3 où on trouve également la Cupola - dont les volets de protection étaient ouverts pour suivre de visu la capture du Cygnus. On me dit que le module cylindrique qui fait face à BEAM s’appelle Leonardo, mais franchement dans le métier je n’ai jamais entendu personne l’appeler autrement que PMM. Son ancêtre était utilisé comme soute à fret pour la navette spatiale (on l’arrimait à la station pour ensuite ouvrir le sas et décharger-recharger). Il s’est transformé en partie permanente de l’ISS depuis, on s’en sert pour stocker du matériel… et nos poubelles. En bas pour les observateurs : le module JEM / Kibo de la JAXA avec son autocollant « Japan ». Il possède une plateforme extérieure pour les expériences exposées au vide de l’espace, et même son propre bras robotique !
My kind of phone background! These images were taken during Cygnus NG-16 docking last month. What you are looking at are beautiful pieces of astounding and reliable space technology, the best humans have to offer! On the first image from the top you can see the Bigelow Expandable Air Module (yes, inflatable) connected to Node-3 that has Cupola on it (with the shutters open, for Cygnus docking robotic operations). The smoother cylinder is PMM (Leonardo) a now-permanent storage space that used to fly up and down with the Space Shuttle. In the background we have JEM, or Kibo as some call it, neatly branded with the JAPAN sticker, JAXA :) The part sticking out of JEM is the exterior platform that researchers can access through its mini-airlock.

As their soldiers walked across the battlegrounds, we were ready to strike on top of an abandoned building roof. There was no hope for them now!
For the Annual Military Build Contest. Are there any other requirements I have to fill to enter this?
I had forgotten to make a picture of one of the modules, now I covered all 20 of them.
Must be sure to not forget any of them when I'm exhibiting.
This week in 1969, the Apollo 12 mission launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, carrying astronauts Charles Conrad, Alan Bean and Richard Gordon. The primary mission objectives included an extensive series of lunar exploration tasks by the lunar module as well as deployment of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package, which was left on the Moon’s surface to gather seismic, scientific and engineering data over an extended period of time. Apollo 12 was the second crewed lunar landing of the Apollo Program. The mission concluded when the Apollo 12 crew successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on Nov. 24, 1969. Now through December 2022, NASA is marking the 50th anniversary of the Apollo Program that landed a dozen astronauts on the Moon between July 1969 and December 1972. The NASA History Program is responsible for generating, disseminating and preserving NASA’s remarkable history and providing a comprehensive understanding of the institutional, cultural, social, political, economic, technological and scientific aspects of NASA’s activities in aeronautics and space.

I made some minor modifications to my road module and build a second piece with some arrows, because in a future where cars drive themselves, you really seem to need arrows on the road according to my research.
Toujours des formes étranges mais bien plus proches de nous cette fois-ci : ce sont les panneaux solaires du côté Russe de la Station spatiale, à 400 km au-dessus de vos têtes, quasiment à portée de main pour nous...
Stranges shapes but not #CropArt: sometimes beauty is closer than 400 km below, as illustrated by the Russian service module’s solar panels in close-up.
