Distance - and sunshine - lends enchantment
View from the front of the school [ first floor ] towards Easton Street.
I've been very busy lately (moving to the US!), but I thought I must make a Viper for Novvember.
I've always entertained the thought of making a Technic spaceship, and thought I would try it out this Novvember. However, you can't have a technic model without functionality and as such I decided to implement at least one function, and of course the standard technic fig ;)
Its function is to rotate its wings in two dimensions, controlled by the lever on the back side. See an image demonstrating this here:

I think these are technically illegal to sell at a yard sale. Some of them ended up being empty, so we kinda ripped ourselves off.

BACKSTORY: Got up around 7:15AM, made it out driving by 7:51 AM and went out until around 1:30PM for a total of 5 hours, 39 minutes. Spent $73.00 plus ~$7.98 gas for 41 miles of driving (15.1 mpg @ $2.94/G), for a total cost of $80.98. We drove to 64 yard sales, stopping at 22 (34%) of them. We made 49 purchases (50 items) for a total estimated value of $743.64, leading to a profit/savings of $662.66. So in essence, we multiplied our $80.98 investment by 9.18X. (Also, if you think about it, the profit counts for even more when you consider that we have to earn $~755 on the job, pre-tax, in order to take home the $662 in cash that we saved. How long does $662 of disposable income take to earn, vs the 5.65 hrs we spent here?) Anyway, this works out to a *post-tax* "wage" of $117.29/hr as a couple or $58.64/hr per person.

Is Mother Nature experiencing technical difficulties? The beautiful sunset isn't reflecting on the Mississippi River.
opps im still in 2007. gotta remind myself to make a new watermark brush.
hope everything is well for everyone for 2008 - im drowning in work and with my lil ones (but its worth my while)
Hello Fellow compatriots to yet another moc! or rather a group of mocs! when building these Toa Hagah i wanted to go for whatever would look cool for these builds in the spirit of the original Toa Hagah sets we got with a variation of shoulder builds but also better articulation which has been hungered over for a long time. Now with these Toa individual they each carry a particular theme. Toa Gaaki is filled with vents for a more aquatic feel while her mask having subtle relationship with the mask of clairvoyance, furthermore i made her left handed. With Toa Boomunga i went with the theme of Rock Raiders, intigrating the brown with the black while adding metallic armor. However since there is already so many colors on him already, i reserved the green for the eyes. being the cool one in the group Kualus is Ice Planet themed personified while being asymmetrical with his metallic armor. But also since his right arm is exposed it allows him to swing his pickaxe more effectively fictionally speaking. Now for my boi Pouks, there is only so much that you can do with Mata brown so i made him a beefcake of muscle with a subtle reference of the Tarakava with the arms. Anyways i hope you enjoy these builds!

Here a rendering (bluerender) of the LDD file.
Some of Bothello's inner workings. See the video for more.
UL: Driving and engaging/disengaging mechanism.
UR: Roll representing black disk / white disk / no disk.
LL: To make a move, you adjust the position of each slider, wait a second, then rotate the sensor so that it reads the other slider.
LR: Detail of the driving chains connecting each output axle with its roll.
Even with the belt fully extended, the truck is able to support the weight. Though there is quite a bit of sagging from the turntable.
I'll be adding some transparent supports to the boom when the motors are running to reduce friction.
This is my version of the BR232 Ludmilla made of LEGO TECHNIC bricks in 1:16.5 scale suitable for the LEGO Technik Trucks.
The locomotive had the premiere at the Bricking Bavaria 2022 exhibition in Fürth this weekend.
With more than 1,2m length and a track of about 10m she could drive a bit back and forth.
When I designed the rails, I made sure that a rail switch could work as well. So I also built a switch.
After a few small weak points, she drove back and forth in exhibition mode.
The interior has only a fake motor so far.
Next year, all the functions will be integrated like:
- running diesel engine
- 3 controllable fan coolers
- fans of the eddy current brakes
- light on the second side
- coupling mechanism to couple and uncouple wagons

Lots of progress has been made, most of it non-cosmetic. The front end is missing a few pieces to get that iconic bugeye look, but the LDD model looks very promising! (You'll just have to take my word for it ;) )
