NGD_GD01 / "Genesis"
When you're as famous - or infamous - as the Nyrah Ghosts, whose engineering prowess produced the Fohrok and the Ghostblaster, it's only a matter of time before over-ambitious customers think money can make the impossible possible.
The Order of Mata-Nui, a returning customer, once placed a pretty tall order - an autonomous army made up of machines which, unlike the dull Vahki, can think for themselves, reason, and even learn by editing their own programming.
The weapon builders constructed a highly advanced machine, but struggled with the programming. They eventually devised a "drone-chain" concept, where the units would be networked and added to the network sequentially, and each new drone would learn from the experiences of the one before it. Unfortunately the system proved too complex, and the Ghosts failed in making it work. After several missed deadlines, the Order retracted the project, and instead bought 600 crates of Zamor launchers.
However, one among the Nyrah, who was more motivated by academic achievement than profit decided to continue developing the idea. The first unit, the "genesis drone" of the chain, was already build, so he decided to created a self-enclosed system requiring no further units. Eventually he succeeded, and the drone was given an adaptive program capable of dynamically rewriting itself. The unit was given a strict ethical subroutine, disallowing harm to be done against any innocents and a strong simulated sense of justice. Finally, the creator gave the unit a purpose - to observe and study living biomechanical beings to alter his program accordingly and achieve sentience - be become "alive".
By now, Genesis developed to a point where he's chosen a name for himself, and added certain beings to his list of high priority (something these beings insist on calling "friendship").
During his travels, he's helped several Matoran communities who didn't have their own Toa protectors, and strives to once have his deeds recognized with an honorary Toa title.

The build process for Genesis was spawned by an idea that came to mind while building another MOC, and I ended up tossing this guy together in a few hours as opposed to the usual ~1 month build period. There is plenty to improve on him, and when I get the time, I will.
The idea was grabbing a set from just before Bionicle G1 - a Roborider - and something just after Bionicle G1 - Hero Factory - and mashing them together with the goal of getting a result that is Bionicle-y.

I think you can never built in too many styles. This was really just a tablescrap I built around the weird track the barrel runs in to adjust elevation. It's probably impractical for any application more serious than this one, but I like stuff like that anyway. Plus, it's been ages since I built a tank.
Decided to participate in to Eurobricks Technic C-Model Contest and this is my C model made from the 8071 set.
There is still 5 days left so if anyone's interested can still take part in it.

Developing: Rodinal (1+100 stand) - 45min. 20-21C.
This is my version of the BR232 Ludmilla made of LEGO TECHNIC bricks in 1:16.5 scale suitable for the LEGO Technik Trucks.
The locomotive had the premiere at the Bricking Bavaria 2022 exhibition in Fürth this weekend.
With more than 1,2m length and a track of about 10m she could drive a bit back and forth.
When I designed the rails, I made sure that a rail switch could work as well. So I also built a switch.
After a few small weak points, she drove back and forth in exhibition mode.
The interior has only a fake motor so far.
Next year, all the functions will be integrated like:
- running diesel engine
- 3 controllable fan coolers
- fans of the eddy current brakes
- light on the second side
- coupling mechanism to couple and uncouple wagons

Just the right mix of curves, straight lines, glass and steel makes the PMUSA Technical Center one on the most interesting buildings in Richmond Virginia.
"Mornin', Dillinger."
"Combs, what are you thinking?!"
"Can't say I know what you're talking about."
"50%, Combs! He gets 50%! You knew this!"
"And you knew what you were getting when you came to me. You knew what you were getting when you got back into this business."
"The rest of the crew are mad that their payout was so weak, and now he's gonna be mad that I got nowhere near what was promised! And it's thanks to you!"
"You think I should feel bad for you, don't you? That's hilarious."
"You're a bastard, Combs."
"Eh, not impressed. I've heard worse in tongues you'd never understand."
"Do you know what that psychopath is gonna do to me for this!?"
"I know exactly what he's gonna do. Expose your dirty little past and ruin your fake-high class life you've built for yourself that you knew you never really could have anyway. "
"W-what do you mean?"
"A past like yours was obviously gonna come back around to bite you in the ass. You knew this. Yet here you are acting surprised when some fallen king hangs it over your head."
"I can't afford this, Combs. My family--"
"I don't care about your fake family, Dillinger. Hell, the only reason you and I are talking is because I figured Gotham Liberty would be fun to crack. It wasn't."
"So is this it? I gotta find new technical support?"
"Unless you can find something more fun, probably. So yeah. Get searching. Of course, after the little meeting you have tonight."
"How do you--"
"I know alot of things about this town, Dillinger. Things that as far as I'm concerned were better off buried anyway. Now....goodbye."
Technically the Korean version of the Hino Super Dolphin Profia, the Granto was launched in 1995, it was also the very last model of Asia Motor (defunct in 1999-2000). This identical one has got Hino front panels and a huge logo, however, the red/green roof lights explained everything.

Amazing clouds after a rainy day in Cape Town. I was lucky enough to arrive at the beach front just in time for this shot!
Better viewed against black, press 'L'. :)

I loaded a 03/1989 dated Kodak Technical Pan into my 1984 MAMIYA C220 + 135mm f4.5 Blue Dot Sekor set and went over the land at the back of the Brentwood BT Building . I rated film at 25 ASA and processed kin the remnants of my Very Old Dark Brown RODINAL 1+30 for 10 mins @ 20oC . The negs were dense enough. I used a small metal tripod.

Lego Technic Ice Planet Elephant Transporter. I was inspired by trans-orange parts from the 70317 Nexo Knights the Fortrex set and my model is stylized as old very cool series of 1993 year – Ice Planet. My model has three buggy-motors powered with two S-Bricks.
