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.
Anyone else notice that these pin connectors have different outside diameters?
What do you think? Meh, annoying, or some design reason or opportunity?
I was laid up for a couple of days last week. Nothing serious. Time to build another Lego Technics. Also X100 needed a run.
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.

It's a Lego Technic scale model of Bucket Wheel Excavator ER-1250. The scale is 1:41. The excavator has eight remote controlled functions and 14 electric motors. The dimensions: 123x42x56 cm, total weight – 7,8 kg.

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.
Eretria Port and Stern view. You could see how "complete" I tryed to build her, but still I haven't been able to apply some fundamental elements on both masts. The mizzen doesn't have a Boom vang.
Eretria is geared as a Scuba Dive team's ship.
This was technically my first photo shoot where I actually asked someone to be my model for at least an hour of just shooting. As you might know this is Cassandre the same girl from the fair. I was so impressed by her tranquility in front of camera that I asked her if she wanted to my model for the afternoon. She accepted and after explaining what I wanted as far as background and expressions, she began to do her own poses. This is one of them.
All shots from the shoot where in RAW. Lightroom for some minor contrast editing, then in Pixelmator to add a soft texture for the background. I realized that when shooting in Raw it is much easier to get rid of the noise when using a high ISO then shooting in jpg. This was shot at ISO 1600.
Have it in Winter Size!

This is the last shot of the year. I will be gone to the mountains for New Years and hope to get some shots up there. Till then:
Have a Merry Christmas & and a Happy New Year!

"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."

A bit more progress on the roof. Settling on light bluish gray as the lowest cost option....white would be a lot more expensive.
