So it took a while before I managed to squeeze everything in there, but that's the fun of it. Still plenty to do, but I've got the mechanical part covered.

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.

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.

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.

"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."
I was laid up for a couple of days last week. Nothing serious. Time to build another Lego Technics. Also X100 needed a run.
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.

Recently got these stunning liftarms! Lacquered and chrome parts are always weird because determining authenticity is very difficult, here is where they came from according to the seller:
"[the supplier] said that they were involved with LEGO [Mindstorms] in Denmark for a few years. They did special beams officially for a contest and/or media stunt. These are the extras."
"LEGO was invited to be a founding partner of the Google Science Fair (GSF), an international competition for students to present innovative ideas and win big awards.
Marketing manager Steven Canvin, in charge of the LEGO MINDSTORMS robotics platform, was the point of contact for the GSF, and was tasked with putting a prize package together for the future winners.
All winners would receive a LEGO MINDSTORMS robotics kit, and to make the prizes more exclusive, a limited amount of gold TECHNIC beams were produced, to go with each kit."
This story is pretty detailed, even naming the marketing manager. After some digging, the only thing online I was able to find was some vague details about the prizes:
"The finalist winners (Kohn and Iván Hervías Rodríguez, Marcos Ochoa and Sergio Pascual in the 15 to 16 age group) all receive a $25,000 scholarship, a Google Chromebook kit donated to their classroom, an assortment of Lego-related gifts, a Google goodie bag, a “prize experience,” and one year of digital access to Scientific American archives for their schools. Wenger, the grand-prize winner, gets a 10-day trip to the Galápagos Archipelago, a $50,000 scholarship, a set of Lego Mindstorms signed by the design team and Lego’s CEO and owner, first pick of prize experiences, and everything else that the finalists receive."
[from Fast Company]
The excerpt above is referring to GSF 2012, but similar lines can be found for GSF 2011 and 2013.
Considering the scope of the fair and the other awards being scholarships and opportunities, these parts are the probably the least interesting thing to the finalists, so if they were actually given out, verifying that would be very difficult. I have tried to contact Mr. Canvin, but have been unsuccessful.
Ultimately, I think the authenticity of these parts is likely, the story lines up pretty well, if anyone wants to continue investigating this topic, that would be awesome! And these parts are still available on bricklink if anyone wants to pick some up, the price is a little high, I was able to work out a discount from the seller and maybe you can too :^) The seller did have some other non-production parts, like a Magenta 44728 and some trans-clear slopes, which I think adds some credibility imo.
I do find lacquered liftarms to be a strange idea, they would probably get worn out really fast if you were to actually use them in a build!
[I am not sure if a 1x9 liftarm was also made]

Built for the 'Decisive Action' game on MOCpages. Send it a like there and help me rule the world! Fully functional and remote controlled.
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.
