Prototypes that will light the way! Up at 6 on BrickArsenal!

:)

 

The raygun is trans blue, with some trans green swirled into the handle.

All of the Plasma Blades are V2s

 

Not For Trade, Unless You Have An ARC ;-D

 

Well here is a prototype of the new 10th Doctor decal. I had a small misprint issue, which you can see if you look slightly above the belt line. Also the back arm had an issue in printing.

 

I was attempting to capture his "trainers," or as we call them in the US, his tennis shoes, which I think are actually suppose to be Converse Shoes. Not sure I like that option yet.

 

I will likely take this same design and remove the striping for the Blue suit option as I like this better than the previous version I did for him.

A prototype for a robotic planetary exploration vehicle, demonstrates ability to go over rough terrain and pickup rock or soil samples with its manipulator arm. Rocky is radio-controlled and carries a video camera for real-time transmission. Rocky III was a 56-pound prototype for a much-lighter robotic rover that would be sent to the Moon or Mars in future NASA sample return missions. Rocky III was designed and built at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), in Pasadena, California.

When Bionicle first came out, I was really into it. So dedicated to this theme, I was even a staff member on BZPower as well as being the Bionicle Theme Coordinator for BrickFest 2006 and 2007. The collectibles were what really kept me in during Bionicle's final days, since I lost interest in the storyline in 2006. Pictured here is my personal collection of the Misprints and prototypes of the Bionicle Kanohi masks. Some are one of a kind with one to few in existence. Not for trade/sell.

ooh lawd! finally full view prototypes of the pussycat dolls dolls from 2006! much love to those my scene style shoes!

Scavrat prototype build notes:

 

Building lego mechs at this scale is tough, particularly hip joints. You can’t use prefabbed single joints due to the weight, and there isn’t enough room for the larger technic weight bearing turntables and pistons (At least not that I’ve been able to squeeze in).

 

To date, I have three lower torso/hip mount designs:

 

1a: Just hip abduction (leg moving away from midline of body, which is what you typically see on mech builds). Strong and simple. Utilizes 3x bricks w/ rotation joint (48171) positioned horizontally on both sides of the torso, which slot into rotation joint discs (44224/44225). Used on the Seeker, Canticle, and Matriarch.

1b: Just lateral rotation (leg turns inward and outward, more realistic for changing direction). Strong and simple. Similar to 1a, uses the 48170 brick variant in a vertical position. Used on the Seraph mech.

2: Both abduction and lateral rotation. This was my dream, a system that can weight bear while allowing full hip articulations for realistic movement. More complicated and less friction overall. For this design, I use double technic axle and pin connectors (53586) extending from the torso, which connect to axle balls mounted onto rotation joint discs. Used on the Turibulum, Arrow, and Scavrat mechs.

 

Most of my upper torsos weigh in around 300-400g (< 1 lb), which is fine on any of the lower torso variants. But the Prototype upper weighed in at a whopping 700ish grams (~1.5 lbs), and is also physically larger than the other torsos, which makes the mech a bit of a tippy affair. Certainly not as much fun, nor as practical for posing and shooting.

 

So this leaves me with a few choices. Either I can try and come up with a stronger, yet still fully articulated hip design. I can build smaller, which is no fun. Or I can try my hand at some technic framing to achieve lighter upper torsos. I’ve always been a brick guy, so technic frames are out of my comfort zones.

 

Would love feedback on this one.

The pale blue Earth serves as backdrop for astronaut Michael Gernhardt during his Extravehicular Activity (EVA). He is standing on a Manipulator Foot Restraint (MFR) attached to the Remote Manipulator System (RMS). He is positioned over the Payload Bay and Endeavour's forward section is reflected in his visor. A thermal cube is attached to the RMS and records temperatures during spacesuit evaluations. Unlike earlier spacewalking astronauts, Gernhardt was able to use an electronic cuff checklist, a prototype developed for the assembly of the International Space Station (ISS).

Prototype of LEGO Deckard Unicorn

1954 Ford Thunderbird Prototype

Spring Vintage Weekend

Made in 2014, based on previous 4032 prototype from the 90's.

Vehicle developed for CBRN use by UK Govt out side SV Lights Office

 

The vehicle was developed by Thales Defence UK to be used by the emergency services after a dirty bomb or similar nuclear or CBRN incident and is fully equipped with sensors and response equipment for a CBRN.

Here is the prototype of the Daimler XJ40. This is the top of the range model for the Jaguar XJ6! The car is exposed in the Coventry Transport Museum.

Jessica Drew

 

This is my Spider Woman Prototype. I am not completely happy with the shadows on the figure so I will be altering the underprinting a bit. I also need to work on the boot application. All in though I am happy with the design.

 

Jessica Miriam Drew, daughter of Jonathan and Merriam Drew, was born in London, England. At a young age, Jessica was lethally poisoned by radiation while living near Mount Wundagore in Transia. In an attempt to save her life, her father injected her with an experimental serum based on irradiated spiders' blood. Because the serum did not have any apparent effect on her, the man who would come to be known as the High Evolutionary (Herbert Wyndham) placed her in a genetic accelerator. While in the accelerator, she aged at a decelerated rate. When she was finally released, decades later, Drew was only seventeen years old.

 

Jessica grew up on Mount Wundagore under the care of Lady Bova, one of the High Evolutionary's New Men. She was cared for and received the equivalent of a high school education. She eventually left when she did not appear to fit in. Her first few years were confusing as she adjusted to life among other humans. Eventually, HYDRA, under the control of Count Otto Vermis, found and recruited her as a HYDRA agent.

 

Through brainwashing and manipulation, she was convinced she was not human but actually an evolved spider. During this time, she went by the alias of Arachne. As a HYDRA agent, she battled Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D., until Jessica learned HYDRA's true nature. She quit HYDRA and turned on them, and was responsible for the fatal crash of HYDRA head Otto Vermis.

Early prototypes for set 8487. New parts here were made with a 3D-printer, prints are low-quality inkjet stickers, and most parts are spraypainted. Sarge has two brackets cut to approximate a new bracket part. My favorite part is the curved slopes in aqua, which were never released without studs :)

Incom prototype RZ-2b, based on the famous RZ-1 A-Wing.

The goal is to enhance the interception performances of the A-wing by improving speed and maneuverability.

Except for the concussion missiles launcher, the weaponry system remains the same, for now.

 

Had that cockpit setup in mind for quite some times now, so I had to test it, and it works very well :)

Not very happy of the engines and the central landing gear :/

Prototype 2nd generation DMU 140001 on display at Dundee. 1/9/1981

Camo = gitd + OD green + lime green.

RM1, RM2, RML3, CRL4, together at North Weald EOR station on 28/9/14. Hearty thanks to all involved for making this possible.

The main reason for my trip to Tunisia was to participate in the UN World Summit on the Information Society. I attended the press conference where UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Nicholas Negroponte unveiled the first prototype of the $100 laptop. The 'One Laptop Per Child' initiative aims to provide extremely low-cost laptop computers to children in developing nations.

 

Le Kram, Tunis, 2005

The new M3 "Grease Gun" prototype from Brickarms is exceptionally awesome. Here, Will's taken a real weapon that has an overly simple design, and made it perfect for the minifig aesthetic.

 

One that I've been wanting to see for quite some time, and it's so well done!

Still a mystery what these may have been used for, but one theory is some kind of display stand or support.

 

They have remains of the same round labels found on the cut baseplates:

flic.kr/p/2mdFArY

 

"F. F." test markings underneath which we very often see on prototypes. No Lego logo as all studs have holes through them.

Closer look:

flic.kr/p/2mdDfFR

 

Update:

The mystery has been solved.

These are used to test clutch power with different connections and are still available for LEGO designers today in different forms and with different connections.
