I've had scenes like this in mind for some time. This is my first attempt at Lego characters interacting with everyday items in the house. In this case, scaling the cheese grater.
(Not easy keeping them in place though).

A scene from “Octopussy” (1983)
If you look closely, you can see that the right hand hangar door doesn’t quite line up. That piece and the airplane are 1/3 scale models. The BD-5 is enough of a handful without trying this trick in real life.

#236 (or #251, if you believe Scout) in Explore for September 11, 2008.
... oh Explore, you fickle beast. Down to 398.
Did you know that butterfly wings are covered with microscopic scales? I used fish leather with a visible scale pattern to cover the spine. Conceptual. No?
(You can find all colors of fish leather at fineleathers.etsy.com).
this armor unfolds itself from a suitcase.
To do that, the armor is made up small compressed fragments / slices / scales. When defragmented, each small part interlocks with another and thus enveloping a human being.
I recon this gave the team at Hot Toys some headaches trying to mix the design and look of the suit with the articulation.
This armor is tight and thinner than the former armors. It also doesn’t pack a lot of weapons, besides it’s own repulsor technology. It doesn’t have flight capability and airflaps. This armor is all about compatibility and a quick response unit. And it shows. The mark VI is very bulky compared to the sleek mark V.
With a little imagination you could see a human body inside the armor. But it would be a skinny person.
Having seen the movie recently, RDJ is a short skinny man. So it could be plausible.
Before radio control miniature automobile races were accomplished by suspending the model car with a cable (tether) from the center of a 100 foot circular track. The speed of the car could be accurately calculated since the time to complete a lap was recorded and the distance was known. In the late 30s the Dooling Brothers .60 cubic- inch powered aluminum car called the “Frog” made history as it spun around the track at about 80 miles per hour. Ted’s miniature Frog, dubbed “Tadpole”, is powered by a Cox .010 cubic inch engine with a 2:1 gear ratio driving the rear wheels. It runs on alcohol and 25% nitro-methane for fuel and will achieve speeds of about 30 miles per hour.
