The Technical College was built to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897.
At a public meeting in January 1897, it was decided to commemorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee by erecting a new technical college. The local community raised £1000, and with a government grant of £2000 work began on a site granted by the city council in the Central Gardens.
The first mission of the space transport system (STS-1) or Space Shuttle, flew on April 12, 1981 (Columbia)
This is just a photo of a plane, but it is my way of remenbering this fantastic breakthrough!

The Biber - German for "beaver" was a German midget submarine of the Second World War. Armed with two externally mounted 21-inch torpedoes or mines, they were intended to attack coastal shipping. They were the smallest submarines in the Kriegsmarine.
The Biber was hastily developed to help meet the threat of an Allied invasion of Europe. This resulted in basic technical flaws that, combined with the inadequate training of their operators, meant they never posed a real threat to Allied shipping, despite 324 submarines being delivered.
I love 8051 set, but I believe that wheels from 8420 set make it look even better, don't you think so?:)
An attempt to make a more "filled in" sphere with #3 Technic axle connectors. I ran out of them in light grey/bley before I could finish the entire sphere, but I got far enough to convince myself it basically works. I noticed the areas where 3 connectors come together had a tendency to pull apart a little... Could be that the clutch power on some parts weren't as good, that the sphere needed to be finished to be really structurally sound, or that this design isn't 100% legal.
It's finally finished. Although it might look technically simple the Battle Bus can both sit on it's own wheels or hang from the balloon.

I wanted to share something a little different today. And for those in Melbourne, the reason will become clear very soon.
This is a Technic Racer frame. It's about as bare bones as it can be. It uses a servo motor for steering. But that's the only part I'd describe as uncommon.
Why am I sharing this? Because I want to demystify it for anyone who might be a LEGO fan, but has always felt a little intimidated by Technic building.
And truth is, there was a time when Technic intimidated me too. I put this together in under 20 minutes today so I could race it around the house with my son. It was so much fun I'll make a racing partner for it tomorrow. and I'll pretty it up along the way.
My point is really that you could do this too. In fact, I believe you could improve on it. So I wanted to offer this as a basic guide on how to make your own. A leaping off point if you will; and a way to start the conversation about Technic Racers.
There's more to come. This is only a start. So stay tuned, and let's see where this can take us.

HDR with Photomatix. It was technically summer, but you can see a little bit of orange in the background.
1975
This dark National Technics amp from 1975 was a bestseller of the higher Hifi amp class. The 19" format with rack mounts stand out from the standard models of Kenwood, Sansui, Marantz or Sony etc.
The circuitry and mechanical design is designed for durability and it works without problems like on the first day. With 73 watts per channel, it produces a powerful true seventies sound.
The plastic caps of the toggle switches of all SU 8600 and tuner ST 8600 are loosened due to material fatigue after many years. So I have replaced precautionary toggle control caps with aluminium versions. Why was National Technics at that time so economical?
A good machine listen to music it is definitely.
It's a Lego Technic scale model of Bucket Wheel Excavator ER-1250. The scale is 1:41. The excavator has eight remote controlled functions and 14 electric motors. The dimensions: 123x42x56 cm, total weight – 7,8 kg.

Let's keep the reviews of IT's first 2018 collection - Boudoir - going. This time, let's talk Adèle. 2017 is technically the year of Adèle when there were 5 total Adele renditions introduced (if I remember correctly) and Adèle 2.0 was the hardest working girl out of 3 versions of the sculpt.
For me, Adèle 2.0 is not my favorite sculpt of the character because she looks very similar to Beyoncé. Queen Bee is my idol for the longest time but I do not like my doll to resemble any celebrity. Between the 3 sculpts, I like 3.0 much more but she always received such bad screenings that make her a total flop with the exception of Faces of Adèle. However, I have a feeling that Faces of Adèle will be the last time we see her.
With the introduction of The Boudoir Collection earlier this year, we have yet another Adèle - Dollface Adèle Makéda to be exact - and she also is the first Adèle I add to my collection.
It comes as a surprise to me that this time Adèle 2.0 is not as popular as she usually is in other collections. Maybe she appears too frequently or maybe she has platinum blonde hair. But to me she's so appealing because she looks very different from Beyoncé and her outfit and accessories along with Dasha are the most well styled ones in the whole collection.
With each of the girls from The Boudoir Collection, there is a very clear era reference in the styling. Dasha is a 1920s Art Deco muse with her short Marcel Wave. Véronique is no doubt taking a page from Betty Page’s 1950s pin-up book. Mlle. Jolie is channeling the 80s while Agnes is bringing back 1940s Hollywood glam. As for Adèle, from her screening, her outfit and jewelry color palette, to her hair color, the way her beauty mark is placed, everything screams 18th-century Rococo to me. If it is the case then I wish IT goes all the way and styles her white hair in an updo so she can be the Marie Antoinette of the collection.
Her screening is very interesting. From the promotional photos, I think her eye shadow is airbrushed with lilac and pink color which would be very hard to do but very interesting when done right. In real life, however, it is solid layers of pink and lilac painted on top of each others which also looks nice. Her green side glanced eyes are striking. It seems that a lot of Jessy's girls have green eyes. I was a bit worry that her lips would be pastel pink, I'm not a fan of light color lips on dark skin dolls, the lips would over power everything in a not so good way. It is not the case with this Adèle though, her lips are almost nude with a bit of shimmer and a slightest hint of pink. Everything goes so well together.
Her skintone is a newly introduced skintone called Sunkissed. It looks very good. It looks like mocha. What I like most about this new skintone is that it doesn't have the red/orange hue that the Latino or FR Black has which looks a bit unrealistic to me. However, I think IT has too many skintones that are very similar to each other. If there is any “in between” skintone that needed to be developed, I think it would be the shade between A-tone and Dark A-tone. Other than that I think there's no need to introduce another skintone that looks very similar to the ones already existed.
Dollface Adèle has the most beautiful and well thought out ensemble. It's amazing how the pastel pink can make her lingerie set looks so striking and expensive. The light color allows all the intricate details in it to show through. I don't recall I’m this excited when I see the same design done in black with Mlle. Jolie Ombres Poetique. Her chandelier earrings are very detailed with many rhinestones added to them. She also has a ring, a bracelet and a pink cigarette holder. Her pastel pink shoes while simple are easy to put on so it is a plus.
Like other dolls from the collection, my Adèle arrives with her hair a mess. So I wash it, cut the thread that hold her hair on the side, use hairspray to secure it and fluff the whole hair way up. I like this new hairstyle for her much more than the original style. This white hair looks and feels a lot softer and thinner than hair of other IT dolls I have which is very nice to touch. Adèle however is very thinly rooted at the top of her head and her scalp is not painted with white so the top of the scalp shows through if the hair is not placed “right”.
Overall, this Adèle is very very gorgeous. Very well thought out. I'm very glad that she's the first Adèle to be added into my collection.
This is a WIP therefore the shitty pics, once I'm done I drag her out for some decent photoshoot.
A while ago I found the website of a guy that goes by the nick of Nico71 (nico71.fr) and that dude built a model of a Citroen 2cv (I say model though I think that LEGO creations are usually toys, but this one is special), and since I owned one of these things for a while I thought that rebuilding it using detail pics he provided was a great exercise.
A way to learn some Technic and switch from stacking to clipping for a bit. Especially because I think that the looks, proportions and overall feel of the real car was so brilliantly captured in this model. Yes, it is by far the best LEGO 2cv out there regardless the scale, and it happens to be a Technic model... Out of liftarms and panels. A medium that I consider almost useless for my own building as my mind can't wrap around the idea how you build such complex shape not stacking, not even mentioning the fact that it requires ridiculous ammount of planing ahead...
Anyway, the fact that this thing had all those features the real car has, like the floppy trailing arm suspension, the special gearbox, the floppiness of the car (yes, the real hood is just as wobbly) was the icing on the cake, and all that caused lots of trouble for me, f.ex the gearbox, Nico made 2 pics and I guess they are self explanatory for someone who builds Technic, for me it was a pain since I had to figure out what's inside and identify the bricks used, some of which I have never seen before... Most of the components were such a guessing game, especially because the things were photographed in sub sections and mostly required disassembling to be put on. Some stuff were illogical for me, like two pairs of axles with a stop that stuck out the whole time, where I thought it's a mistake, but these would hold the body in place and need to be pushed in at the very end. Like I said, obvious for Technic guys, a guessing game for me...
Anyway.
I built Citroen, first just like Nico built it, just to understand the logic behind it, then I built just the body in light gray as I found it's a more correct 2cv color, but soon I was annoyed by the pins in different colors, so I partially disassembled and painted the whole body light blue to to match the 2cv I owned.
I changed just tiny details of the original design to match my car, the doors had no reason to be this Charleston design, changed the orientation of the door handles, added the chevron in the front grille, made the mirrors and wipers, and of course the mudflaps. I used some 2x4 dishes in chrome that a friend made for me since I was cheating with the paint anyhow. I will tweak some things and make some stickers that my real car had, like the club sticker on the back, numberplates and some mooneyes that I had on my car...
Didn't take the Charleston body apart, so I will build another chassis someday and I think I spray the red bits dark red like the real car has as a good friend of mine who is working with me comes from France and asked if he can have one for himself...
"Levitation is part camera trick and part photoshop. Create an interesting levitation image this week."
Technic Citroën 2CV Charleston.
This is a heavy MOD of Nico71's version. I bought his instruction and started modding it so it resembles the real car better. Still not perfect :)
The roof line is just 1 stud wide and runs more smoothly.
HOG steering.
seats are different and the front seat have been moved 1 stud backwards and the back seat 2 studs backwards.
And a lot of detail modifications, like the bumpers, door color line.
Just like the original is has steering, ultra soft suspension and opening doors, hood and trunk.
Hyde Library was originally Hyde Technical School and Free Library. The foundation stone was laid in 1897 and it opened in 1899 replacing the former Mechanics Institute. In 2015 library services were moved into the Town Hall and the building abandoned. It is not listed and is now in a terrible state.
The terracotta ornamentation on the building is lavish and is topped-off by a statue of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and sponsor of the arts, trade, and strategy, holding a book.
A new commissioned model : a classic style Technic tractor. Shot here with an old Technic figure to show the size. With, of course, a functional steering system and a gear on the rear wheels to rotate the coupling pin.
Interesting model to create as it's my first Technic model... no kidding ;)
Comes in red and black just like it was deadpool next vehicle ... no worse than a little scooter, right?
The polish steamer wasn't in great shape, so the train had to stop several times for inspections. In Nove Drezdenko the usual railbus of PKP passed the standing steam train.

My entry to round three of the Bio-cup. I am against Anthony Wilson. We got to choose our own theme this time. We chose "Tools of the Trade" (Weapons/Tools)
A Neural Interface Compatible Rifle, this hybrid coilgun/railgun is a favorite of strike teams. These weapons have a great balance of accuracy and firepower. The inclusion of a neural interface allow for greatly improved accuracy and accidental fire prevention.

Cape Kennedy Space Center – Launch Complex 39A
One might easily be inclined to overlook the fence in this picture, given the imposing monstrous construction behind it.
But the fence is necessary. It keeps the uninvited people from entering the grounds; and also the numerous animals that populate the surrounding area (declared as a nature reserve).
It is the Launch Complex 39A, the launch pad of the Apollo missile launchers in the 60s and 70s.
Currently, the launch pad is being used by Elon Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX founder, for his "Falcon 9" and "Falcon Heavy" Rockets.

Man dürfte leicht geneigt sein, den Zaun in diesem Bild zu übersehen, angesichts der Imposanz der dahinter liegenden monströsen Konstruktion.
Aber der Zaun ist nötig; er hält nicht nur die ungebetenen Leute davon ab, das Gelände zu betreten, sondern auch die zahlreichen Tiere, die das umliegende (zum Naturschutzgebiet erklärte) Areal bevölkern.
Es handelt sich hierbei um das Launch Complex 39A, der Startrampe der Raketen des Apollo-Programms in den 60er und 70er Jahren.
Aktuell wird die Startrampe wieder durch Elon Musk, dem Tesla- und SpaceX-Gründer, für seine "Falcon-9" und "Falcon Heavy" Raketen benutzt.
