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
Another example of familiar surroundings seen in Infrared...
Technical stuff: Taken with a Leica M7, 50mm Summicron with IR filter, Ilford SFX200, developed in Ultrafin liquid. Printed with a DurstM670 on Ilford MGIV, developed in Amaloco AM6006, selenium toned.

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.
Early morning on the Nanpiao Coal Railway and the first passenger service of the day is leaving the wayside platform at Shaguotun on its way to Sanjiazi. My little bridge camera was not up to moving subjects in what little light there was so it was 1/4 second at ISO 400 with predictable results. Despite the blur and noise, to me it still recaptures the unrepeatable atmosphere of that icy cold morning.

Technically a trace of snow fell here again this week so I'll run another winter shot. Here it's 26 January 1984 and two nice new Conrail SD50's, the 6721-6709, handle a westbound Trailvan consist at East Syracuse in low light.
After the successful test flight of the RSS Pale Blue Dot a second faster-than-light spaceship was built. The RSS Mote Of Dust had her maiden flight on August 8th, 2349.
People might say that the main difference between those spaceships are improvements in my building skills, but this chart clearly shows the huge technical advancements.
I combined shots from last year taken with my DIY Barn door tracker (10 sec shots) and new shots I took with my new Star Adventurer (32 secs). Still no color in the shots... :-(
I guess I will have to remove the IR filter in my cam to get some color in M31...

I've checked the manual, read the FAQs and raised a support query but, frankly, I don't think this is a known issue.
Messing around with a technic frame for larger mech legs, but before I went to far I wanted to make sure I could cover the technic skeleton efficiently. This is what I came up with, it may be slightly rough if your a Lego by math kinda guy, but it's solid when assembled and that's good enough for me.
I know there are probably other ways of doing this such as with inverted 90 degree brackets and technic bricks (not beams).
Additional note: If you replace the tile on the two stud wide side with two plates and and put a 3 wide plate centred to the single stud side if forms a fairly perfect SNOT rectangle. Didn't show an example of that in the picture so you'll have to take my word for it or try it yourself.
Still not sure if it will be useful to me but thought I would share anyway.

A specially upgraded radio-frequency chamber in ESA’s technical heart is testing what is set to become the smallest radar system to be flown in space, hosted aboard a breadbox-sized spacecraft.
Scheduled to fly to the Didymos binary asteroid system with ESA’s Hera mission for planetary defence in 2024, the compact radar aboard the Juventas CubeSat will perform the first ever radar sounding inside an asteroid. Juventas will peer up to 100 m deep within the 160-m-diameter Dimorphos moonlet of the 780-m-diameter Didymos asteroid.
CubeSats are mini-satellites built up from standardised 10-cm boxes. Juventas is a ‘6-unit’ CubeSat, measuring 10x20x30 cm, while its quartet of radar antennas measure 1.5 m long each. So the test campaign includes a structural model of the Juventas CubeSat, to evaluate how the body of the miniature spacecraft might affect the radar signals.
The test campaign is taking place inside the ‘Hybrid European Radio Frequency and Antenna Test Zone’ or Hertz chamber at ESA’s European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands. However testing here only became feasible after a skillful upgrade.
“An essential element of anechoic test chambers like Hertz are the radio-absorbing foam spikes lining the inside walls, allowing tests to mimic the infinite void of space,” explains ESA antenna engineer Paul Moseley.
“But typically Hertz can only test down to 400 MHz, while Hertz’s main antennas will radiate at 60 MHz. At this frequency the spikes no longer absorb signals, so instead of a dark room the chamber would be turned into a hall of mirrors, throwing out multiple radio reflections that interfere with the accuracy of our measurements.”
ESA’s Hertz team worked with MVG in Italy to devise a new setup making lower frequency testing possible, initially as part of a general upgrade but then specially targeted to enable Juventas testing.
Paul adds: “It’s a combination of hardware and software that allows us to measure in this environment but still reconstruct the correct results, including fibreglass support towers that are transparent to antennas and software that combines measurements made at many different points across the room, in order to cancel out the reflection effects.”
Franco Perez Lissi of ESA’s CubeSats Systems Unit is overseeing the Juventas testing: “We’re measuring the radiation pattern in a full sphere surrounding the antennas- the results of which should also be very useful for Juventas’s critical design review, taking place next month – as well as the total radiated power. This entire campaign additionally serves as a dress rehearsal of sorts for the flight model of Juventas, which is scheduled to be tested here in early 2023.”
The radar aboard Juventas is developed from the Rosetta spacecraft’s CONSERT radar system, which peered into the interior of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. It is a synthetic aperture radar design, meaning it will take advantage of Juventas’s orbit 3 km above the surface of Dimorphos to integrate together multiple signal reflections and resolve them into images.
“We are proud to see Rosetta’s legacy living on in the next generation of deep-space missions,” adds Alain Herique of the University of Grenoble, Principal Investigator of Juventa’s JuRa low-frequency radar.
Juventas is being led for ESA by GomSpace company in Luxembourg with GMV in Romania, with its radar developed by the Planétologie et d'Astrophysique de Grenoble group at the University Grenoble and Technical University Dresden, with Astronika in Poland constructing the antennas and EmTroniX in Luxembourg contributing the signal generation system.
Hera will also be embarking a second deep space CubeSat, the Italian-led Milani, which will employ a multispectral imager to prospect the asteroid’s surface composition. Hera will be preceded to the Didymos asteroids by NASA’s DART spacecraft which will perform a test deflection of the smaller body. DART is due for launch next Wednesday, 24 November.

Now thanks to eBay all the lamps are working again.
This works great with my PC, TV and My Bose Cubes.
Photo from 2007 all lamps still working and photo now 16-9 and Black & White.
I started, as usual, with the chassis. The front now has a drive, the engine is moved to the interior. With the wheels from the Mustang, it was possible to make a front-wheel drive with a very small running-in shoulder.
In the sunroof at the back, you can put a figure, a handle for rotating the platform with an arrow is thought out. As for the "machine gun", this design is not completely mine, I just modified the original LEGO rubber band and added details.
Thresholds were made, a blade against zombies, a spare tire, Windows closed with plates and bars. The doors on the right are "welded", on the left everything opens.
The interior is almost unchanged, only the Central tunnel has changed (due to the change of the steering wheel and the transfer of the engine to the interior)
Some snowy photography of the Order of Mata Nui leader. MOC was inspired by the TTV canonisation contest winner
More thick fog in London last week but alas by the time I arrived it was quickly disappearing. This however was from one of the foggiest days ever about this time last year.
This was a 4 shot stitch taken under neath the Millenium Bridge on the north side looking south
