Unique type energy weapon, in part akin to archaic shotguns. In normal mode the four micro cells, calibrated using controls under the rear sight, allow fine control over the main fuel cell, emitting a 4 beam burst of variable (subject to calibration) intensity and delay.
In its alternate mode, a pump action of the type of old shotguns allows all four micro cells to dump their charge into the main fuel cell, with the pull of the trigger releasing a single powerful blast, tempered and focused (albeit only to a degree) by the cage over the muzzle.
An Unmanned Support Vehicle to accompany my Hibernia-SHIPtember build. A liquid-aerosol dispersal system is mounted off the rear to seed an area with Durt-Locker (TM). Durt-Locker (TM) is a common terrestrial binding agent used to prevent loose earth from shifting or collapsing under heavy loads and shears. Believe me, this will be neccesary...
Not-so-loosely based on this wonderful concept art. I wanted to try a new color though but it turns out that Coral is quite limited. Even so, I am very happy with the shaping and I even managed to create a compact 4-wheel steering system controlled by the knob on top. The steering, and rest of the model, can be seen here.
Spotted this couple coming down Queen street before the Wales v Italy match yesterday. The man looked distinctive in his Italy shirt, but his headgear even more so. It looked like a graduation mortar board. This is a cropped shot showing a miniature rugby pitch on his head, complete with rugby posts with Wales and Italy flags on the top. Very creative I thought. It also shows the incredible resolution of the Zuiko 75mm lens as the couple were quite a distance away.

Taken from the roof of the Dixie brewery in 2014. The Dixie brewery was actively undergoing abatement at the time. The building was ultimately reduced to the façade and was incorporated into the Family Support Office building on the new UMC hospital campus which can be seen under construction on the left in the foreground.
Another one for my US futuristic faction. Fits five minifigs and has some opening hatches with big ramp for paratroopers, I guess.

I am a very serious person...
...99.9% of the time.
I despise chickens and all chicken-related things (books, humor, art, etc.). Even the sight or mention of a chicken makes me groan inside. Then why in the world would I choose to build this?
Occasionally, when my mind is tired, not knowing what to think or even why to think, I fall into absurdity. In short, I cave. My seriousness leaves, and in its place stands incoherent gibberish. I embrace what I don't like, even if that means chickens.
So in a way, this creation represents the utter nonsense that can spout forth from a brain that really is not thinking clearly.
Speaking of that, Chicken Little is a story about some foolish young fowl who has a piece of something fall on its head (it may be an acorn, or a leaf, or a raindrop; who knows?). It goes berserk and insists that "The sky is falling!!". Thenceforth Chicken Little makes a huge fuss over it and gathers fellow animals to go warn the ruler of the area. The group meets a sly fox (what other kind of fox would there be?), who convinces the gullible animals that the way to the ruler goes right through the fox's lair. They enter the lair and the fox eats them all. (Or, if you like the other versions better, they escape and warn the ruler, but still turn out to be incorrect about the sky.)
So I think that that image of hysteria is what I've captured in this obnoxious little build. Whenever I feel like blurting out whatever my immediate reaction to my circumstances is, this chicken can remind me to always think before I speak, lest I believe the world will end and thereby fulfill my own prophecy through my own ignorance.
Don't worry, I promise that the next creations I submit will be serious in nature. This one is not a new precedent for me.
This chicken is a bauble-head; it has a technic axle as its neck that would need to be flexible if this were to become a set so that the head could wobble. The wings and tail can flap.
And yes, that is a canoe.

Even the most mundane things confront you with the idiocy of the present .............................................
Constructed between 1847 and 1849 by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, (MS&LR - later became the Great Central), this is Torksey railway Viaduct, which crosses the River Trent between Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire, roughly half way between Lincoln and Gainsborough. Designed by John Fowler (1817-1898), who later was one of the two engineers for the Forth Rail Bridge, Torksey Viaduct is a rare, and early surviving example of a tubular girder bridge.
There are two 130-foot spans over the River Trent, each consisting of two massive wrought iron girders - as seen here.
These are supported on stone piers - one in the centre and one at each side. On the Lincolnshire side is a 570-foot approach viaduct of 20 spans, and the bridge proper starts over a small natural island in the river. The position of the Bridge was chosen to use this island to simplify the task.
Captain Lintorn Simmons, the Board of Trade’s inspector, refused to grant permission for the viaduct to be opened, having “entertained doubts as to the ultimate security” of the bridge. After much argument, Fowler, supported by the Engineering profession, won the day, and the first train passed over in April 1850.
The bridge was twice strengthened - in 1877 & 1897, because increasing traffic and train loads. A conventional steel lattice girder (again, seen in this photograph) was inserted centrally into both main spans in the 1897 works, whilst the northern girders were moved out to maintain track clearances.
The "Leverton Branch", as this line (which ran between Sykes Junction near Lincoln and Clarborough, just West of Gainsborough), was known, was closed on November 3rd 1959, with Lincoln-Sheffield trains taking the only slightly less direct route through Gainsborough Lea Road. However, the line to the West of the Trent was reinstated in 1969 to serve the new power station at Cottam's need for coal, whilst on the Lincolnshire side, the line was run from Sykes Junction to the Shell petrol depot at Torksey. Only the viaduct itself remained closed.
The Oil traffic ceased in the late 1980s, and the track is now all lifted (and the road bridge on the Gainsborough-Lincoln road was removed).
Until the early 1990s it was possible the walk across the viaduct - this was no longer possible by the 1990s as the track bed had been removed on the bridge itself, and that part was fenced off. Happily, this was resolved during the las 12 months. The cycling and footpath charity Sustrans have installed the required safety fencing and reinstated the bridge bed on the North side. There is now a fine footpath over the impressive bridge to the riverbank on the Western (Nottinghamshire) side of the river. This shot shows the (still without a track bed) South side of the bridge.
The viaduct is rightly covered by a Grade II* listing but worryingly, also features on English Heritage's Buildings at Risk register.
