The "Aggregat 4" missile, better known as the V2 rocket (V2 = Vergeltungswaffe 2 = Vengeance Weapon 2) was the first long-range guided ballistic missile.
During testing in Peenemünde it was also the first vehicle reaching outer space by flying above the Kármán line (defined by the FAI at 100 km altitude) with the vertical test launch of MW 18014 on 20 June 1944 reaching an apogee of 176 km. Actual launch location was a tiny island named Greifswalder Oie.
This one here is actually just a replica standing in the Historisch-Technisches Museum Peenemünde (Historical Technical Museum Peenemünde).

Father Christmas put an ND filter in my stocking last year, but as everyone who follows me will know, I'm not technically minded, so I had to google what this was and how to use it.
This was my first attempt, which for me, didn't seem too bad, but I would be very grateful to receive any comments/advice/tips on using an ND filter, as I plan to venture off to the coast again this week and might have another 'play'.
Thanks a lot ... and Happy Easter

"Buitenmolen"te Zevenaar The Netherlands
Tot 1866 bleef de molen in beheer als domeingoed (bezit van de landsheer). In dat jaar werd de molen verkocht aan de toenmalige pachter Jac. van Grinten. Diens erven verkochten het in 1879 aan de molenaarsknecht Johannes Gerritsen.
Toen Gerritsen eind 1928 overging op elektrisch malen, leek het met de Buitenmolen gedaan: op 21 november dat jaar zette hij beide roeden te koop. Omstreeks 1930 werden roeden en staart afgenomen en de romp leeggehaald: zo werd de molen een motormaalderij.
Nadat deze in 1955 was stilgelegd, bleef de romp, met daarop een - lege- kap, gespaard. In 1958 werd de molen verkocht aan F.Th. Korthaus, die op zijn beurt de molen in 1966 verkocht aan de gemeente Zevenaar.
In 1969 en 1970 werd de molen gereconstrueerd. Gekozen werd toen voor een echte houten as, evenwel met ijzeren roeden. Beide roeden kregen Oud-Hollandse ophekking met zeilen.
Na ruim 30 jaar, 2002, heeft men bovenas, roeden en voorkeuvelens vervangen.
In de praktijk draait deze molen vrijwel dagelijks.
Technische bijzonderheden:
Het kruiwerk van deze molen is opvallend: het wordt via tandkransen en gaffelwielen bediend. Met de hand betekent één meter touw inpalmen dat de kap één centimeter verschuift. Niet onlogisch heeft men daarom op een zeker moment een elektromotor gemonteerd! Kettingkruien (vanaf de belt, d.m.v. een rondgaande ketting) is evenwel ook mogelijk.

Until 1866 the mill remained managed as a domaine (owned by the lord). In that year the mill was sold to the then tenant Jac. van Grinten. His heirs sold it in 1879 to the miller's servant Johannes Gerritsen.
When Gerritsen switched to electric milling at the end of 1928, the Buitenmolen seemed to be over: on November 21 that year he put both rods up for sale. Around 1930, the rods and tail were removed and the hull was emptied: the mill became a motor mill.
After it was shut down in 1955, the hull, with an empty hood on top, was spared. In 1958 the mill was sold to F.Th. Korthaus, who in turn sold the mill to the municipality of Zevenaar in 1966.
The mill was reconstructed in 1969 and 1970. A real wooden axle was then chosen, but with iron rods. Both rods were fitted with old Dutch fencing with sails.
After more than 30 years, in 2002, the top axle, rods and front gate lens were replaced.
In practice, this mill runs almost every day.
Technical details:
The wheel gear of this mill is striking: it is operated via gear rings and clevis wheels. By hand, using one meter of rope means that the hood shifts one centimeter. It is therefore not illogical that an electric motor was installed at a certain point! Chain crossing (from the belt, by means of a rotating chain) is also possible.
I was experimenting with Technic panels and this little craft appeared. I'm not sure if it's a spaceship or anti-grav flyer.
There are some more views on Instagram. I'm quite proud of fitting the engine into the tail!

Hopefully I'll get into the main 20!
Here is the full body pose for y'all to look at properly:
Hope you like, I particularly like her cable/wire thingy in her back hehe
well, geographically this shouldn't be in my "Bremerhaven" set. But I re-visited this place while staying there...
Ive had a few of these technic figures for many years, but have never used them in a build.
While i was looking at monowheels ( google images ) for inspiration for the other one, i came across one that was perfect for this figure, hope you like it..
Its was a bit of a squeeze to fit him in there....
This is an HDR shot made up of 5 shots taken in autobraking mode (-1.4Ev; -0.7Ev; 0Ev; +0.7Ev; 1.4Ev). HDR and all post-processing was done with Darktable. You can read additional technical information in my profile (about section).
Technically and aesthetically, this is one of the best photos I have taken. I managed to balance the sky and beach just right with a graduated filter, found a foreground subject to use and really brought out the colours with a 3 bracket HDR shot. I am very happy with this shot, nuff said.
Modern techniques make everything look more and more the same but the soul lies in the eyes.
First time I worked on a RL photo.
textures : Joes Sistah.
I ran to the camera too soon....
A bit of technical difficulty x3
I kinda like it though.
This is my backyard, in Latham, while it's snowing.

My fifth build for my Iron Builder round against LittleJohn! The seed part is the Technic Cable Connector in green
So after watching District 9 a couple days back, I was pretty inspired to build one of the MNU technical trucks as seen in the film. After a bit of a rough start, a couple WIPs that didn't really go anywhere, and plenty of redesigning, I've got a version that I'm happy enough with to post!
The lack of good District 9 MOCs is quite disturbing, I can really only think of three.
So here's one for the mix, good or bad!
Has a cabin that fits four full minifigures with all their limbs, working doors/tailgate, and working rocker suspension.
This cute and impressive wagtail gave me a good show and got used to me pretty quick. It is obviously a tough subject to photograph due to their size and speed. Out of the few thousands shots I took, a couple stood out of the acceptably Sharp that I managed to capture. This where it caught this flying insect display it’s impressive technic. I also liked that I captured the reflection. This has been captured along the Silh in Zurich.
