Having folded two of those Carambolas, painted in crimson mixed with white, I wanted to do more! A Kusudama! Searched a bit in my books and on Flickr what might be possible and Mitchell's Electra was one of the first ideas I had. Obviously various other have done that before. And it's a classic modular which I have never folded before: what a shame. Mixed in a bit of blue to get more variety for the flowers. As you can see I ruined the brush, but that was worth it.
Each module is displayed by itself along with a view of the interior.
The first module is the command center and research station. Most of the technology is contained here for under water *secret* research.
The second module is the turret or weapon module. It is a relatively small module but is designed to be easily replicated. The interior has room for a few soldiers to man the battle stations.
The third module is the drill module. Deep below the surface there are many valuable resources to be harvested for Norkira. The interior shows lights and panels for drilling procedures.
The fourth module is the main housing module. This contains the area for cooking, exercise, but most importantly sleeping. The beds themselves can be viewed from the skylights.
The fifth module is both the generator and the docking station. The small submersible can be seen leaving the port and the generator equipment can be viewed through the window.
The sea creature is a giant squid! Although it has become friendly toward the Nokiran research center, other nations should beware.

Another module, numero 12.
The Island has to be finished by next weekend.
I will not succeed in that but I'll try anyway.
Over the past few days at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, engineers have connected the third European Service Module to the Crew Module Adapter, forming the complete Service Module which will propel Orion towards the Moon and provide oxygen and water for astronauts during the Artemis III mission.
This assembly process involved carefully suspending the Crew Module Adapter while lifting the European Service Module very slowly, stopping regularly to check the alignment using precise laser measurements. The European Service Module is placed on a mobile platform that allows engineers to accurately move the precious module with six degrees of freedom – x, y, z and three rotations – to ensure an exact alignment. Once the modules are ready to be fastened, engineers install 192 screws one by one all around the modules. Some of these fastenings are particularly challenging to reach, requiring special precautions like foil to prevents parts from falling into the module underneath.
Now that the modules are connected, the next steps in the journey to Artemis III include welding operations to connect the systems that will provide breathable air, water and temperature inside the spacecraft and testing that these systems are leak-proof and securely connected. Next year, the Crew Module and solar array wings will be attached to the Service Module, forming the complete Orion spacecraft.

This is the 3rd module (of 6 currently built) that is part of my JunkTown MOC. This is a bit of a Junk Yard
Megan était installée dans la Cupola quand la caméra 360 ISSexperience, fixée au bout du bras robotique, est venue jeter un œil à l’intérieur. Ça m’a rappelé mon dernier entraînement sous-marin avec la NASA : parfois les poissons sont attirés par la lumière des hublots, souvent la seule source lumineuse environnante. Ça doit être une sorte de divertissement pour eux, un peu comme quand on visite un aquarium, sauf que dans ce cas c’est nous qui sommes à l’intérieur ! 🐟
Megan was in the Cupola when the 360 camera ISSexperience, perched at the end of the robotic arm, decided to come peek inside the ISS. It reminded me of a NASA underwater training mission, when all the fish came at night to look inside our deep sea habitat, which was the only light in the area, so it was entertainment for them: we were the aquarium!! 🐟

I found this picture of the cybercity module I threw together for Bricks By the Bay last April, and realized I never posted it. In the vacant area on the right was a trash lot (at the show).
Also I know I haven't posted anything in a long time. These last few months have been pretty packed and stressful, which I'll be sure to explain in about a month. I do have two new MOCs essentially finished and awaiting photography, which should happen in the next week!
so, this is my next project: a modular microscale Space Base on Mars.
Module 1 seen from the front.
find more pics in the Mars Base set.
Sonobe system, 30 papers, base module my design...
You can find the diagrams for this model here: Page 1 - Page 2 - Page 3
And a 3D render of a single module here: Sonobe petal module
Assembly instructions: right here.
A few more empty modules to show their variety. The first three are examples of "top" modules that have a landscape or roof built in; nothing is expected to stack onto them obviously. The bottom right is the base of the Tower; for this I wanted extra stability so I built the bottom module full width and part of the base (in the other sections the bottom base separates).
An engineering test unit from Bell Aerospace in 1965. It provided Monomethylhydrazine (MMH) fuel to the spacecraft's twelve Rocketdyne SE-8 Reaction Control System (RCS) engines used for attitude control. A similar tank was used to store the oxidizer (N204 ) which was combined and ignited upon contact with the MMH. This is a hypergolic fuel system which does not require any separate ignition system.
Titanium MMH tank, with various valve connections (diagram below). Helium pressurizing gas pushed against flexible bladders in the fuel and oxidizer tanks to force the weightless propellants out of the tanks.
From the Spaceaholic post on the oxidizer tank (the compliment to this tank): "The tank incorporates an integral bladder for positive expulsion. Positive expulsion systems were necessary to provide continuous propellant flow to the engines regardless of vehicle position, environmental and dynamic forces, or zero gravity conditions where the propellant tended to float in the tank and cling to the tank wall instead of flowing naturally toward the tank outlet.
Propellant is contained within the bladder. A pressurizing port is provided on the tank shell and a propellant outlet port and liquid bleed tube are incorporated in the diffuser assembly. The propellant is loaded into the bladder through the propellant outlet port. When the bladder is full, helium, supplied by another onboard Command Module tank, was applied to the pressuring port of the tank to pressurize the area between the tank shell and the outside of the bladder. The pressurizing gas caused the bladder to collapse around a diffuser tube (which runs from the propellant outlet down through the center of the tank) and the propellant was expelled through the outlet port."

Lego Classic Space SHIP, the module with the arms are meant to help the truck load rocks for the scientists. They retract into the ship when not in use. The truck in the garage is a basic rock space hauler. I rigged up the klaxon sound brick to the rolling garage doors. When opened all the way it triggers the sound brick.
In front of the gothic cathedral,
a strange module appeared.
Adding a touch of color fantasy in the dark reality.
Is it the latest invention of Professor Calculus (from Tintin) ?
Or a new vehicle from the Count of Champignac (from Spirou) ?
But it is a retro-futurist vision coming from the colorful comic books of my childhood invading the grey present.
Sur le parvis de la cathédrale gothique, un étrange module est apparu.
Une touche de couleur acidulée dans la sombre réalité.
Une nouvelle invention du Professeur Tournesol ?
Un nouvel engin du Comte de Champignac ?
C'est en tout cas une bien étrange vision rétro-futuriste, sortie des bd colorées de mon enfance.

I have been building small houses to get an Idea of how the town layout will connect to the Islands' geography.
As expected modifications are needed.
There's actually nothing left of the old
Module 19. I basically just built a new one.
The base needed to be a lot higher (around 8 bricks high now). Also the Islands' smooth coastline will evolve into a rough one with more reliëf and capes.

A few empty modules to give you a better sense of how they're built and fit together. These are from the Tower section and are among the first I built. Trying out cheese mosaic floors for the first time :)
Sjøhus, (sea houses, litterally translated) are industrial buildings from the times when boats were the only efficient way of transport. These cladded, timber frame buildings were used for all kinds of purposes connected to trade and fisheries on the Norwegian coast. The typical protruding part of the gable (vindehus) is protecting the hoist mechanism. Herring (sild) fisheries were so important for the earlier economic growth on the western coast it was the obvious choice for an advert on the wall.
The former canal warehouse opposite the towpath at Tunnel End has been converted into a Visitor Centre, with displays telling the story of the canal and the tunnel.
A highlight of a visit to Tunnel End is a boat ride into the tunnel.
More information here.
www.penninewaterways.co.uk/huddersfield/standedge1.htm
The Huddersfield Narrow Canal runs for 20 miles between Huddersfield in West Yorkshire and Ashton under Lyne in Greater Manchester, UK.
The summit of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal is the highest navigable waterway in Britain.
Standedge Tunnel on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal is Britain's longest canal tunnel.
The canal has a total of 74 locks. It connects end on with the Ashton Canal and the Huddersfield Broad Canal.
The Huddersfield Narrow Canal re-opened to navigation in May 2001.
The story of this canal begins over 200 years ago at a time when a network of canals was being constructed through many parts of Britain.
The canal was due to open five years after work on it had begun. However, when 1799 arrived, while the canal had been constructed to each side of the tunnel, the tunnel itself was far from open.
The canal took 17 years to construct rather than the planned 5 years. The costs rose to £396,267, which was more than twice the original budget. Standedge Tunnel alone cost £123,804 to construct. The shareholders had no return on their investment for 30 years.
The canal did enjoy a short period of relative prosperity until 1845, when it was bought by the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway Company, whose line was to follow a similar route to the canal. The railway company did not fear competition from the canal, but as they were building a tunnel alongside the canal tunnel, they wanted to use the canal to remove spoil from their excavations. They did this by boring short connecting passages so that boats could be loaded in the tunnel.
Once the railway was open, the railway company had no reason to promote the canal, which fell into slow decline and was eventually closed in 1944.

“Boilerplate No. 14 Command Module on fifth level of H14-124 GSE (Ground Support Equipment) systems integration workstand Apollo Systems Integration and Checkout Facility, showing view through main access hatch of main display panel and Systems Manager’s couch. At left is seen the break-out box panel for systems checkout.”
Likely, originally a 1964 North American Aviation (NAA) documentation photograph taken at its Downey, California manufacturing plant.
Note the Block I capsule 'vertical' configuration of the pitch reaction control system thrusters directly above the hatch.
And, apparently the ‘Systems Manager” couch, aka Command Module Pilot (CMP) couch, is the only seating installed.
Per the “APOLLO SPACECRAFT FAMILIARIZATION MANUAL SM2A-02, dated 30 APRIL 1965, which is full of FANTASTIC Apollo Command Module information. DAMN:
BOILERPLATE 14/”HOUSE SPACECRAFT 1” resided at the North American Aviation (NAA) manufacturing plant in Downey, California. The boilerplate’s ‘purpose’ being a “developmental tool for use in developing spacecraft systems and preliminary checks in integrated systems compatibility.” Its ‘mission’ was as a “research and developmental tool for systems evaluation (static vehicle).” Awesome.

Who knew?!
Did you?
I didn’t!
The local train LUG's layout is always a hit! Kids can operate the crane in the busy freightyard, light up the tree in front of the main station, or drive a classic steam train in front of the frozen waterfall.
