I know it's pretty much the exact angle of the preceding two. Going to upload others soon, but for right now this will have to do.
My photo for technical semi-finals.
im actually pretty proud of my photo being that the pose is simposed,
i never use that program because everytime i try i fail and it always turns out looking like crap.
i guess the only reason it turned out ok is because i drew over most of the pose.
anyway model equals blake,
and here is the trans png.
(it's gonna be used for the promo)

I had one SL1200Mk II lied in the storage.
The restoration involved a lot of job in changing power supply, replacing some electronics and cables, looking for some plastic spare parts and enclosure in ebay and most of all the major job repainting the body with toyota black mica.
The table is equipped with shure 97 needle.
I've had my hands finaly on the lower left one, I've put them clockwise of age, upper left is the oldest, lower left is the more newer version. Most rare is the left under I think, saw only 2 of these all these years...
The first two days of Manhattanhenge for 2016 was scheduled May 29 and 30. However, weather forecast showed an overcast sky on May 29 and rain on May 30, so I decided to check out the sunset on 05.28.16, if the sun would set in between the buildings of Manhattan, technically a Manhattanhenge.
I waited at the intersection of 34th Street and Park Avenue and at near sunset time, the big orange fireball made its way inside Manhattan's grid, eventually setting in between the tall buildings.
It was a little cloudy at first but the sun pushed through saturating the sky with a red-orange hue. So beautiful to see and experience it. New York, you continually amaze me!

Enjoy Ted's continuing adventures/antics/escapdes in a second, revealing video!
FYI:
This episode is made from old photos I have been tooo slow in editing.
But the recent troubles with moc-pages.com have lead me to fear that it may not be long before the site vanishes. The recent troubles lit a fire in me to finish my editing, as I don't want Ted's adventures/antics/escapdes to vanish too!
As with Episode 1, any background foliage in a photo is supplied from photos I took in 2009 at various locations in Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom.
Background music is a snippet from Warren Zevon's song, Splendid Isolation.

The Incredibles (Brad Bird, 2004) is an American computer-animated superhero film, and the sixth feature-length animated film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Set in a fictitious version of the 1960s, the film follows Bob and Helen Parr, a couple of superheroes, known as Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, who hide their powers in accordance with a government mandate and attempt to live a quiet suburban life with their three children. Bob's desire to help people draws the entire family into a confrontation with a vengeful fan-turned-foe. Although the film was not as successful as its predecessor Finding Nemo, it still received 27 awards and the film's DVD was the best-selling DVD of 2005, selling 17.4 million copies.
The story of The Incredibles begins with a still young Mr. Incredible a.k.a. Bob Parr who, like any superhero, performs his daily heroic deeds. He is unexpectedly visited by Buddy, a young fan eager to become his helper. Buddy turns out to be more of a nuisance than a help, despite his self-invented gadgets, and Mr. Incredible sends him away. Later that day, he marries the superheroine Elastigirl (Helen). Then, suddenly, things go wrong. After Mr. Incredible saves a man who was about to commit suicide, the man sues him. This leads to a chain reaction of lawsuits against superheroes. The government decides to help the superheroes by setting up a special programme that will pay for all their lawsuits and provide them with new identities, on the condition that they never do heroic work again. 15 years later, Bob and Helen have settled into a quiet little town. They now have three children: teenage Violet, 10-year-old Dashiell ("Dash"), and baby Jack-Jack. Violet and Dash each have superpowers, but Jack-Jack is apparently normal. Bob, who now works at an insurance company, is frustrated that he can't help anyone anymore. He still tries to be a "hero" by pointing out loopholes in the law to his clients so they can get their benefits. He also regularly goes out at night with his old friend Lucius (also an ex-superhero called Frozone) to help people. He is unknowingly shadowed by Mirage, a mysterious woman. After Bob loses his job, Mirage contacts him. She offers him a large sum of money if Bob will take out a runaway robot, the Omnidroid 9000, on an island. Bob accepts the job and defeats the Omnidroid. After this, Bob gets more and more assignments. He starts training again to get in shape and has the fashion designer Edna Mode make him a new suit. Two months later, Mirage calls Bob again. When Bob arrives on the same island again, he is attacked by an enhanced version of the Omnidroid. He is captured by the mastermind behind the Omnidroid, a man called Syndrome. This Syndrome is none other than his old fan Buddy. He has made a fortune over the past 15 years inventing and selling weapons. He has kept the best weapons in order to become a hero, despite his lack of superpowers. Later, when Mr. Incredible escapes and looks into Syndrome's computer, he is horrified to discover that Syndrome has already killed dozens of superheroes to prepare his Omnidroid for battle with Mr. Incredible. At home, Helen discovers Bob's absence. When she sees that his old superhero suit has been repaired, she immediately goes to Edna. Edna shows the superhero costumes that she has made for all the members of the family. From Edna, she hears that Bob was fired months ago and has started working as a superhero again. Thanks to a transmitter Edna fitted into Bob's suit, Helen discovers Bob's location and immediately jets off to the island. Dash and Violet come along as stowaways. Unfortunately for Mr. Incredible, the transmitter also gives his location away to Syndrome and he is captured again.
Brad Bird originally conceived the screenplay for The Incredibles for a traditional, animated film for Warner Bros. According to his own account, he got the idea from a drawing he had made in 1993. He developed the film as an extension of the 1960s comic books and spy films from his boyhood and personal family life. After the film Looney Tunes: Back in Action became a flop, Warner Bros. closed its animated film division, and the project for The Incredibles was cancelled. When Bird later talked to his friend John Lasseter about the film, Lasseter convinced him to give Pixar a try. Bird and Lasseter knew each other from their college years at CalArts in the 1970s. Pixar accepted Bird's script but changed the animation to computer animation. This made it the first Pixar film to feature only human characters. At his request, Bird was allowed to put together his own crew. He approached people he had worked with on The Iron Giant (1999), among others. Bird's idea contained many scenes that were difficult for the computer animation to do. Among other things, new techniques were needed to realistically depict human anatomy, clothing, and skin. Among other things, Violet's long hair was technically difficult to draw. The film was largely treated as if it were a live-action production. John Barry was the first choice for the composer because of his music for the trailer of On Her Majesty's Secret Service. However, Barry did not want to recreate his old soundtracks for the film, so Michael Giacchino was approached. The music in the film is entirely instrumental. Critics' reactions were very positive. Critic Roger Ebert awarded the film 3.5 out of 4 stars and wrote: "The Pixar Studios, which cannot seem to take a wrong step, steps right again with "The Incredibles," a superhero spoof that alternates breakneck action with satire of suburban sitcom life. After the "Toy Story" movies, "A Bug's Life," "Monsters, Inc." and "Finding Nemo," here's another example of Pixar's mastery of popular animation." The film is generally regarded as one of the best Pixar films. One point that many critics noticed was that the film had a much more serious and mature undertone than previous Pixar films. However, this was also a point of negative criticism. The film clearly contained more and more realistic violence than previous Pixar films. The film won the Academy Award in 2005 for the best animated film (the second Pixar film to win this award) and the award for best sound effects. The film was also nominated for the award for best screenplay and best sound. The Incredibles made $70,467,623 in its opening week, more than any Pixar film has ever made in its opening week. The film even (just) beat Finding Nemo's revenue of $70,251,710. The film brought in a total of $261,441,092, making it the second most successful Pixar film ever, and the fifth most successful film of 2004. Worldwide revenue was $631,436,092. A sequel, Incredibles 2, was released in 2018.

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.
This is a scale model of a Ferrari 308 GTSi
It features:
4 wheel independent suspension with anti-roll bars
Front suspension with realistic setup (kingpin inclination, Ackermann, caster)
Pop-up headlights (operated with the lever in the dashboard)
3+R gearbox (with shifter in center console)
Detailed V8 engine
Opening doors
Opening trunk
Opening hood (with button in the dashboard)
Adjustable chairs (forward/backward + tilting backrest)
Removable rooftop
I build this car in commision with an exclusivity agreement. So there will be no building instructions available for this model.
If you are interested in commisioning a model yourself please send me a message or an email:

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.
Technically, over 37 miles from downtown Chicago, but only a few hundred feet from the Indiana shore. Waterskiing at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.
ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst during his last week of training at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, USA. Alexander reviewed the main tasks he has to perform during his mission. His training started two years ago and has moved from general maintenance classes to specific tasks related to the Horizons mission.
Among these tasks are work on the airlock, the replacement of umbilical equipment for Extra Vehicular Activities (EVAs), testing of tools, review of experiments, making repairs and checking the Leonardo Multi-Purpose Logistics Module.
Alexander will be launched on 6 June with US astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor and Russian cosmonaut Sergei Prokopyev from the Baikonur cosmodrome, Kazakhstan in the Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft. Soyuz MS-09 will be the 138th flight of a Soyuz spacecraft.
The mission is called Horizons to evoke exploring our Universe, looking far beyond our planet and broadening our knowledge. His first mission was called Blue Dot. Alexander will take over command of the International Space Station for the second half of his mission. This is only the second time that a European astronaut will take up this leading position on the space outpost – the first was ESA astronaut Frank De Winne in 2009. Alexander Gerst is the 11th German citizen to fly into space.
The science programme is packed with European research: more than 50 experiments will deliver benefits to people back on Earth and prepare for future space exploration.

It's a small technic buggy, which gives us the feelings of the small technic sets of the 90s. It has the two main functions of the similar technic sets, working pistons and HOG steering. It's in the scale of my maxifigs, which you can see on my previous picture. Hope you like it! :)
I'm playing around with a few techniques and built this loop. Partial arcs of the whole loop are strong when set on end in compression but it's a bit weak as a full "wheel." Will try some spokes and see if that helps. The name comes from the movie Spaced Invaders.
Built for the 'Decisive Action' game on MOCpages. Send it a like there and help me rule the world! Fully functional and remote controlled.
After figuring out a new technique for feet, I started coming up with kobold designs. There are some hiccups to iron out, like there's still experimenting with torso designs, and also figuring out a smooth way to make the upper arms, since metru armor doesn't really exist in brighter colors. The head here is also an experimental variation from my first sleeker design, which you'll see later.
Though Scarlet wasn't the first to be completed, she was the first kobold I started. Thus you shall meet her first.
Expect more kobolds in the future. I really like these things, and I plan on making more in various colors.
Props to @MrBoltTron for coming up with the hand design.
