yet another view of the green hillsides on either side of this connector road. I always look forward to this part of the drive when we go to visit in Southern California. Photos are just approximations of how immersive these gentle rolling natural sculptures are.
Die Reutlinger Marienkirche habe ich hier schon mehrfach
abgeknipst - aber der Blick hinauf zur Langhausdecke war bis her nicht dabei. Wir können erkennen daß dies eine Basilika ist. Überall sind Spitzbögen - also kann man annehmen, daß das Gebäude aus der gotischen Epoche stammen müsste.
Rechts auf der neogotischen Empore: die Orgel; gleichfalls neogotisch. Links oben der Schalldeckel der Kanzel ist auch eine Zutat aus der Neugotik. Man könnte nun verleitet werden die goldenen Plättchen überall an der Decke als Mosaike zu sehen. Dies sind aber Korkplättchen. Sie dienen zur Verbesserung der Akkustik der Kirche und wurden bei der Renovierung durch Heinrich Dolmetsch in den Jahren 1893 - 1901 angebracht.
Insgesamt gesehen einer der Höhepunkte der schwäbischen Gotik!
Ich hab jetzt schon soviel über die Marienkirche in Reutlingen geschrieben... Sie ist bei mir schon mehrfach "exploriert" worden, wer also nachlesen will.... Hier nochmals: Die Marienkirche ist eines der gotischen Highlights in Württemberg! Besichtigungen sind derzeit unter der Woche von Die. - Freitags von 10 - 17.00 möglich unter Einhaltung der üblichen Corona-Regeln. Hier der Blick vom neogotischen Altarambo ins Schiff. Die beiden
lebensgroßen Figuren sind Reformatoren: links Matthäus Alber und rechts Martin Luther.
Hier der Emporenblick von diesem gotischen Highlight in Reutlingen. Sehr interessant sind die Bodenfliesen mit ihrer
Musterung aus dem endenden 19. Jh und die Blendarkaden an den Rändern der Seitenschiffe. die Kanzel ist neogotisch wie der Altarambo. Im Chor ganz hinten das sogenannte "Heilige Grab" eine spätgotische Steinmetzarbeit der Extraklasse.
To finish out the year and allow me to finish some other projects, I present my 2022 AT-RT design.
With this rendition, I have attempted to capture the details of the Battlefront II (2017) AT-RT design as accurately as possible using a wide variety of parts from LEGO's history. This has been a very long, ongoing project for me and I hope people find something in it to differentiate it from the other fantastic builds by those tagged, whose work has continually inspired me to improve my designs over the years.
I would also like to thank www.flickr.com/photos/190128811@N07 and www.flickr.com/photos/186300665@N06 for the constant feedback throughout the process.
I already have ideas for some improvements, although those will have to wait until next year's iteration....
BL Wanted List is available for free, although the cost of parts + shipping in the US is ~$70 USD. This is a very finicky model with very unconventional techniques and is only intended for display.
P.S. If you noticed the screwdriver looks a little weird, that's cause it is! I promise I do have DBG screwdrivers in my collection (so I'm not completely faking it) but I was not able to have them on hand when photographing this build.
Before the bus station was built in Chingford (1970) the buses terminated a little further up the road to the Royal Forest Hotel (in the background here). There were many routes, and this class of bus would have been seen in numbers here.
Now, once a year, a few restored examples return to where they once ran.

North of Uniontown, Pa. This is the front of what was most likely an old school. This view faces Pittsburgh Street. I posted the shot below of the side which got some information on the history of the building. I thought that it had most likely been demolished by now (2024) but see that it shows up on Google Street Side in 2020, very abandoned but intact.
The 4th of January there is something to see; kind of spontaneous collaborative exhibit. I'll show a mini series about a bridge over the Danube River and the people around, called "Nordbahnbrücke". Drop by @Galerie Lumina ...

On rail replacement duty, not its usual Epping run. The London bus of my childhood. Wonderful buses.
Something I did in the last few days of 2016. Just getting around to posting it.
Yet another variant of an AT-RT, after I've done several already.
I've seen a lot of builders use those neck brackets for building robots, so I thought I'd give it a shot on a walker. The legs are the hardest part on these things... I think it turned out okay. I also decided to keep the use of droid bodies for the feet, similar to my previous model.

Through the creations that I build, I hope to inspire other young (or perhaps older) LEGO builders to unleash their inner creativity. We all need a positive way to express ourselves, so let's let LEGO be an extension of us. Your creativity belongs to you, and nobody can take that away. Build what you want to build, and how you want to build it.

Here is another from last week's Rt 66 journey. A little west of Kingman is one of the most bizarre, quirky little towns I've ever seen. Oatman. This shot is just west of Oatman. This section of the state has some of the coolest rock formations I've ever seen.
Another older build of mine. Based on the Battlefront II version of the AT-RT, and the feet are inspired by cypiratemocs.
Soli Deo Gloria and happy building,
Greyson
