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.
This cute and impressive wagtail gave me a good show and got used to me pretty quick. It is obviously a tough subject to photograph due to their size and speed. Out of the few thousands shots I took, a couple stood out of the acceptably Sharp that I managed to capture. This where it caught this flying insect display it’s impressive technic. I also liked that I captured the reflection. This has been captured along the Silh in Zurich.
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.

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.
Rollei SL66SE, Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2.8, Lens tilt used. Kodak Technical Pan developed in Technidol, 60mm negative digitised by photographing on a light pad, digital processing in Lightroom.
The geotag is approximate.
HLD7738 staat te wachten om zijn rit verder te zetten naar het station van Eeklo en zo verder door naar Melle met op sleep HLD6041 - HLD5404 - een TEE rijtuig en helemaal achteraan bengelend , de HLE1503.
Deze locs/rijtuig deden mee aan de 2022 editie van het Maldegemse stoomtreinfestival en zullen nu terug veilig opgeborgen worden in de bewaarplaats van Trainworld te Melle.

I should have given the film a bit more speed or a bit longer in the second developer bath. But you know I'm okay with this dark moody look and feel. I took a bit of work in post processing to get some details out, but overall, it looks like Tech Pan!

Position: Railway station Kladno, Czech Republic. This technical detail belongs to the steam locomotive "Parrot" made in Czechoslovakia. Locomotive series 477,0 is the last type of stream locomotive manufactured in the ČKD Praha for the Czechoslovak state railways.
Awhagaro is an ancient legendary warrior who has been protecting his homeland for centuries. He wields the elements of lightning, air and ice.
Awhagaro only appears when the island is in great danger and no one has ever seen him in peaceful time, so it’s still unknown if he actually exists or is just a legend made up by the island’s inhabitants to intimidate the ones who wish to invade the island. His origins are unknown as well, but some say that Awhagaro is a kaita comprised of a Toa of lightning, a Toa of air and a Toa of ice who somehow got stuck in the combined form, which explains his ability to wield three elements at once and his extraordinarily long lifespan.
Following the collapse, Scimitar's use of Armored Technicals proved to be an effective, mobile asset connecting their territory. The one pictured above features a DSHK, a door mounted 249, communications antenna, armored cab and engine, run flat tires, and a LED light rack.
So an upload! It's been a while, especially making something with wheels. Side note, do you all think that vehicles with wheels can exist alongside hover vehicles? I've been building, just haven't uploaded anything recently. That being said there's big stuff in the works.
The truck is highly inspired off of Christian's Technical based on Andrew's design.
While the community is certainly not what it once was here on Flickr, let me know what you think of this and if you're still out there. Check out my Instagram here: www.instagram.com/sci.fi.dude/
