The Ladybower "plugholes" are large, bell-shaped overflow drains, technically called bellmouth spillways, located in the dam of Ladybower Reservoir in the Peak District, used to regulate water levels by channeling excess water into tunnels that feed the River Derwent, creating a dramatic sight when full, often in winter after heavy rain, and are a popular photographic spot.
What they are:
Shaft Spillways: They are massive concrete structures, 24 meters (78 ft) in diameter, designed to prevent the dam from overtopping during floods.
Bellmouth/Morning Glory: Their shape resembles a bell or the morning glory flower, hence the nicknames.
How they work:
When the reservoir fills after prolonged rain or snowmelt, water flows into these circular inlets.
It then drops down vertical shafts and travels through tunnels under the dam, releasing water safely into the River Derwent below.
The water released also generates hydroelectric power for Severn Trent Water's treatment works.
Location:
They are situated at the base of the Ladybower Dam, near the A6103, with viewing platforms accessible from the dam wall and nearby roadside areas.
SR-30 Spectre
Spyrius ground assault vehicle with jet engines that allow it to reach supersonic speeds. It has 4-wheel drive, 4-wheel steering, V6 engine and dual-sided suspension on both the top and bottom. Inspired by the racing games Grip and Rollcage, it can flip over and drive upside down on a tunnel ceiling.
Apologies for the sudden stop in uploads. A broken laptop has resulted in a trip back home in order to pick up a borrowed laptop.
Except, I'm not home. Due to complications with the upward chain, we've been in the process of 'moving house' for a few weeks.
The temporary house however did produce this lovely little H reg Micra, looking very original and rust free. I've been told it rarely leaves that spot.
experimental bridge span for a large modular bridge. I plan to make a cable stay bridge with up to 10 of these sections.
each section is 10 1x 16 technic bricks long and has a train track on the lower deck and will have a roadway above.

Nimbus w. ACAP.
LEGO version of the Danish Nimbus motorbike with ACAP sidecar, a Technic and System combination model.
About this creation:
This is my third Lego Nimbus motorbike. The first one, (blue Nimbus), was sold to the Danish Nimbus motorcycle museum in Horsens DK. The second, (black Nimbus), was commissioned by a member of Aarhuus Nimbus Club, and therefore no longer in my possession. This one, with a sidecar, I`m planning to keep for my own collection.
A sidecar for a Nimbus motorbike is built on a standard sidecar frame, which holds the third wheel and suspension, and the sidecar frame is then attached and braced to the motorbike frame. In the early days, the Nimbus motorbike was more a workhorse, than built for pleasure, and many of these were equipped with sidecars for various purposes. The good thing was, that the frame was universal for almost any type of sidecar.
My latest Nimbus model is equipped with the well known ACAP sidecar for an extra passenger or maybe extra luggage. After designing the new sidecar, it came to selecting the color. Lego Dark Red suits nicely for an original Nimbus color, but because there are some limitations regarding the brick palette, I had to paint quite a lot of bricks, mainly hinge plates for the fenders, and frame, but also slopes (1x2 45` with cutout). Bricks in Dark Red varies quite a lot in color intensity, so hopefully my painted bricks aren`t too conspicuous. Building the bike wasn`t too hard, neither was it to build the sidecar, but attaching the sidecar to the bike frame, proved to be a little problematic. Mounting the sidecar frame to the bike (without the sidecar-”boat”) was easy, but with the “boat” in place, it was so heavy, that the entire construction threatened to fall apart. Also the space between the bike and the “boat” is very limited, making things even more complicated. In the end I had to use some extra supports, made in transparent bricks, to support the weight of the sidecar. With the supports in place, the sidecar can stand alone making the attachment of the bike much easier.
I finished building the bike just after Christmas 2017, but due to bad light conditions I haven`t been able to take decent pictures of the bike before now. The picture on my “2017 LEGO review” are taken in artificial light.

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!

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 ;) )
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.
It kind of literally is, as my oldest son and his wife own 18 acres of forest land looking over the McKenzie River of Oregon.
My four year old (she actually pushed the shutter button so technically this is her shot!) and two year old granddaughters hiked up a hill to help me take this shot.
Lego Technic Six Wheel Truck from the Idea Book 8889.
Was a bit tricky to collect all the parts but it is now exactly as it's in the construction guide.
Originally a mid-scale trial truck chassis equipped with L motor and servo, evolved after many unsuccesful tests manually steered truck with relicts of motorisation - for example, the axles - unnecessarily complicated front axle, and gears in the rear.
Live axles suspension with rather low travel.
The another fun feature is 8454 inspired arm and openable doors and boxes on sides.
Be sure to visit album, there are 7 photos in total!
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 setup has been with me for sometime. Dj'ing has been a part of my life for a while. I put a candle on the record and shot a long exposure. This mixer has been collecting a bit of dust lately because I caught the photography bug as of late. Music will always play a big part in my life, I could take a quick break but it always calls me right back.

This mysterious collection of images have been discovered within the photographic collections of Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums.
Reference: TWCMS -H13098-73-12
The lantern slides are from a series titled 'Psychic Photography From A New Angle' and feature eerie images of the supposedly paranormal and unknown forces caught on camera.
Very little is known of the origins of this collection. The slides were designed to accompany a lecture by a Mr C.P. MacCarthy of 15 Wilkinson Street, Sheffield.
Mr MacCarthy produced the images under test conditions in 1934 in front of an invited committee at 76 Clarkehouse Road, Sheffield. He states the intention was to ‘demonstrate under test conditions Fake Psychic Photography’ to this committee.
Mr MacCarthy states his three reasons for this demonstration.
1.To prove the possibility of Fake under test conditions.
2.To show you cannot be too critical of such phenomena.
3.To indicate the increasing scope for fraud with the probability of genuine spirit photography.
Mr MacCarthy further guarantees ‘in the sum of five pounds, payable to any charitable institution, that no collusion exists, or has existed between myself and any other party in connection with this demonstration.’
Little is currently known of the Psychic demonstration. Who sat on the invited committee? Who was Mr MacCarthy? Why was he investigating Psychic Photography?
