I can't remember a complete mural has endured so long. Fluctuat Nec Mergitur is the motto of Paris, translated "Il est battu par les flots, mais ne sombre pas": "She is tossed by the waves but does not sink". This motto is present in the city coat of arms depicting a ship floating on a rough sea. Both motto and city arms have their origins in the river Seine boatsman's corporation; this powerful hanse ruled the city's trade and commerce as early as the Roman era.
Following the November 2015 Paris attacks, the Latin-language motto had a surge in popularity and was used in social media as a symbol of Paris resistance in the face of terrorism.
No street artist dares to paint over it. But also this mural will disappear one day. But space invader PA_100 is still there.

I present to you a collaborative build by Shannon Ocean, the oneman, and myself. The idea was to combine World War 1 with space. Here's what Shannon originally told me via flickr mail:
Bartosz (the oneman) and I were talking about doing a collaborative build featuring WW1 planes with a futuristic style (think 'Biggles' meets Flash Gordon!). We were saying how cool they would look photoshopped into the one picture and hence your name came up, Master of the 'Shop that you are :p, so we were wondering if you'd like to join us in building something and then adding them together in a picture, as if the planes were dogfighting in space?
From left to right in the above picture, we now have:
The PZL-LL Duke Bulldog, flying for the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of The Moon, by the oneman.
The Fokker E.XII Monospaceplane, flying for the Neo-German Space Empire, by pasukaru76.
The Sopwith Donkey, flying for the Western Alliance, by Shannon Ocean.

I made an updated version of the Classic Space set Space Dozer as a companion to my Uranium Search Vehicle
Two exhaust pipes on the back can be turned to control the steering and to make the bucket go up and down. The bucket can also be tipped down manually while the arms are up.
Thanks to my friend Brian for helping me take awesome photos!

NASA INFO: The Apollo 11 rocket towers over the Kennedy Space Center’s crawlerway during the May 20, 1969 rollout from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39A. The Saturn V launched astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin on the first lunar landing mission two months later.
By Bob Granath,
NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla.
Construction of the Vehicle Assembly Building, or VAB, at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida began a half-century ago this summer. After serving through the Apollo and Space Shuttle Programs, the mammoth structure now is undergoing renovations to accommodate future launch vehicles and to continue as a major part of America's efforts to explore space for another 50 years.
Construction began with driving the first steel pilings on Aug. 2, 1963. It was part of NASA's massive effort to send astronauts to the moon for the Apollo Program. Altogether, 4,225 pilings were driven down 164 feet to bedrock with a foundation consisting of 30,000 cubic yards of concrete. Construction of the VAB required 98,590 tons of steel.
When completed in 1965, the VAB was one of the largest buildings in the world with 129,428,000 cubic feet of interior volume. The structure covers eight acres, is 525 feet tall and 518 feet wide.
To accommodate moving, processing and stacking rocket stages, 71 cranes and hoists, including two 250-ton bridge cranes were installed. On the east and west sides are four high bay doors, each designed to open 456 feet in height allowing rollout of the Apollo/Saturn V moon rockets mounted atop launch umbilical towers.The VAB was constructed 3.5 miles from Launch Pad 39A and 4.2 miles from Launch Pad 39B. A pair of crawler-transporters, among the largest machines ever built to move on land, carried the assembled rockets to the pads.
After the conclusion of Apollo in the 1970s, the building was refurbished to accommodate the space shuttle. Inside the VAB, the shuttle solid rocket boosters were stacked atop a mobile launcher platform. The external fuel tank was attached between the two boosters and the shuttle mounted to the tank. Following three decades of flight, the shuttle was retired in 2011.
Modifications of the VAB are underway to support the Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion spacecraft, which also will result in the ability to process multiple launch vehicle types. SLS will be the agency’s advanced heavy-lift launch vehicle providing a new capability for human exploration beyond Earth orbit. However, NASA also is partnering with private industry on launch vehicle and spacecraft development options for taking astronauts to low-Earth orbit and the International Space Station.
Last year shuttle-era work platforms were removed from the VAB's High Bay 3 as a project of Ground Systems Development and Operations, or GSDO, to accommodate the SLS heavy-lift rocket.
According to Jose Lopez, the VAB senior project manager in the Vehicle Integration and Launch Support Branch of GSDO, the changes are part of a centerwide modernization and refurbishment initiative in preparation for the next generation of human spaceflight.
Lopez noted that some of the utilities and systems scheduled for replacement at the VAB have been used since the facility was originally built. This initial work is required to support any launch vehicle operated from Launch Complex 39 and will allow NASA to begin modernizing the facilities while vehicle-specific requirements are being developed.
Plans for 2014 include awarding the construction contract for new access platforms, including structures and systems required for the SLS.
Some of the current work has included removal of over 150 miles of obsolete Apollo- and shuttle-era cabling. This will make room for installation of more efficient, state-of-the-art command, communication, control and power systems needed to perform testing and verification prior to the SLS and other rockets being rolled out to the launch pad.
As plans move ahead to outfit the VAB with the new infrastructure, code upgrades and safety improvements, the building will continue in its role as a central hub for the Florida spaceport well into the future.

Mia is modelling my latest creation - a tribute to a design by André Courrèges from the 1960s. Courrèges worked for 10 years under Cristobal Balenciaga before setting up on his own and, like Balenciaga, he approached design with the eye of a sculptor. He was highly innovative and always focused on the future which led in 1964 to his ground breaking Space Age collection. One of his key concepts was that women should be comfortable in their clothes so the clothing should float free from the body and the body should be able to move inside it. I have tried to replicate that here with the cone shape of the dress and especially the cutaway armholes (best seen from the back). In some of these photos I have added my own futuristic space age ‘helmet’ - an Ariel detergent dosing ball 😅. Like Courrèges, I like to be inventive in my creations 😉 I imagine these to be a sort of helmet/hat/face visor worn by fashionable ladies of the future which they can tilt down whenever they find themselves exposed to high levels of pollution or maybe airborne viruses. When tilted down the helmet will stream pure filtered air for them to breathe…

"SPAAAAACE!"
Exactly the same build as Wheatley - in fact, exactly the same -pieces-, since I couldn't find enough to make two cores and had to just make exchangeable face plates.

Space Oddity is my first entry for the League of Lego Heroes group. The inspiraton comes from David Bowie's song and Martian Manhunter.
Back in the late 50s, when Guri Yagarin's spaceship lost contact with Earth, nobody expected to hear or see him again. Specialists said that was the beginning of the end for the International Space Program, even though it lasted a few more decades.
But a few and spread out rumours of a green entity branding the Space Program symbol began a few years later. The weird stories reached a peak of popularity when a famous musician claimed to have met the entity during the 70s.
With the strong activity of super heroes these rumours started again, and the existence of the entity was confirmed during an epic fight in a crowded park.
Those who have heard Space Oddity's telepathic voice say he warns of disastrous events yet to come, but most have become mentally ill and are no longer able to provide reliable information.
So far the entity seems to be able to fly, move objects from a distance, and teleport. It is unknown if it is actually Guri Yagarin or something else. It's interactions with other people have been limited to telepathic communication and using it's powers to save them from any immediate danger.
