Technical note: Although the depth of field was shallow enough that it blurred out the background, I wanted to give the subjects just a little more oomph. So, I masked the two zombies and slightly gaussian blurred the background to make the two disco zombies stand out even more.
I'm still quite clumsy in using Photoshop masking tools. The final result is sloppy (notice the left hand); nonetheless, it worked well enough. Once I become better at Photoshop some months and years from now, I'll go back and try to tighten up the hand and body outline more.
LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS has 2704 pieces, and will be available starting June 1 via LEGO.com and select LEGO stores in Germany and Austria. It will see wider release in retail stores beginning in August. It will retail for $299 USD.
Designed specially for Moscow Technic Festival on Aug, 26, this Scania Topline truck is powered with a pair of large motors, servo steering, remote control and return-to-centre saddle for easier coupling. The manual functions are presented with openable doors and cab, as well as rear door of the trailer with locking mechanism.
The trailer itself is equipped with another receiver as well as 2 medium motors for coupling / decoupling and outriggers + brake system. Apart from own weight and batteries, the truck is capable to transport at least 1kg extra load, which was the requirement for Rig'n'Roll competition back at the festival.
Hopefully, the video of coupling and driving process (as well as the whole challenge with other contestants) will be published soon - there were enough people filming this whole thing :D
So, what is it different from a huge number of other aircraft tugs? To date, this is the first and only representative of the fourth generation because, of course, the best. When we first met, he immediately strike dimensions: length 14.5 m, width of 4.35 m and a height of 2.32 m (without exhaust system) weight of the truck is 70 tons. From him and breathes inside hidden power. And really – his eight-cylinder turbo diesel 12 liters develops immodest 1550 HP Thanks to this power and the latest double-circuit transmission MAT is able to move with a full load at a speed of 25 km/h. For comparison, the maximum speed of most existing tractors under load does not exceed 10 km/h Maximum speed without load is 60 km/h. Such a high rate (at standard tractors it is twice less) allows the machine to quickly and autonomously change their location, especially if to remember its weight and dimensions. Standard ground clearance of the machine is only 14 cm, but the developer is going to release sarojadevi off-road version. Despite the impressive size, the MAT has a high maneuverability thanks to its independent front and rear steering. The new system of smooth adjustment of the angle of the course allows us to reduce the load on the tires when maneuvering and significantly increase their service life. Speaking of tires – even this would not have happened without the revolutionary technologies! They are made from the latest super wear-resistant material – nitrofuranto. Its main feature is the nonlinear elasticity, so engineers were able to abandon the conventional hydraulic suspension and saved so much space and weight. In particular, a tank for hydraulic and, accordingly, oil consumption were reduced by 30%.
The MAT is equipped with two reeving winches, which are able to operate in tap mode in the presence of the outer boom. To ensure stability in the tap mode, and to simplify maintenance (try replacing the wheel with a diameter of 1.8 meters at a 70-ton machine), the machine is equipped with hydraulic full-lift jacks. The winch shafts structurally integrated into the carrying frame of the tractor, ensuring reliable operation and safety.
The MAT is freely extensible platform. In the front of the machine removed oil seals for hydraulic connections, and at the rear of additional mechanical drive. The manufacturer offers as attachments huge blade and the outer jib-crane. Dozer will be especially useful in winter, as the performance of such a machine an order of magnitude greater than that of conventional snow removal equipment. Because the blade is completely beyond the operator's line of sight, the cabin is equipped with hydraulic lifting devices.
Needless to say, the cab operators meet the most modern standards of ergonomics. The touch pad, robotic CAT, review FullHD camera, sound insulation, climate control – everything is done for the best possible experience. Controls the main and auxiliary cabins are fully duplicated, so that the control can be done from any location.
Now, when I talked a bit about the original (photos, unfortunately, are not), you can go to my model. Scale 1:19, just under tech-figure. Accordingly, the following model dimensions: length without attachment – 76,5 cm, width (without/with mirrors) – 23/26 cm, height (without/with exhaust pipes) – 13/15 cm, weight – 4,45 kg. On creation took about a month and a half.
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.
How's this for a fun little technic dog? I've even included the parts so you can build one yourself.
My third image of a series of retro-themed self-portraits about "cheating at chores". A quick gif of the photoshop edit is on my blog at: lauracolephoto.com/technically-clean-no-3-in-limited-edit...
My inspiration for this image came from the “I Love Lucy” episode where Lucy gets a little behind on some bills and Ricky decides to get a business manager for her. After taking money to pay all of the essential bills, the manager leaves Lucy with just $5 to spend on food and other extras for herself. Obviously, Lucy schemed to get around this budget, and wound up with a huge bill to the grocery store at the end of the month…but, it got me thinking. Could she really have made $5 stretch as a food budget that month? Not quite, but close…was the answer I gleaned from a quick Google search. In the 50’s a gallon of milk was, on average, only 82 cents, a loaf of bread only 14 cents, and a gallon of gas…get this…only 20 cents! Today you can’t even put together a single meal with that same $5.
An animated gif of the edit as well as more photos from the shoot are on my blog: www.lauracolephoto.com/creative-pet-photography-no-8-in-f...
I gathered up some black technic pieces to see whether I could possibly build a version of the Rectifier from Tron:Legacy. I don't think I can, at least not this month. Still, I felt like slapping together all those technic pieces to see what would happen.
Don't take this one too seriously, this is probably more concept art than a true MOC.
This is one of my most complex models – Feller-Buncher. This type of construction equipment feel trees and stack them for easy removing.

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:
Motorized Lego Technic APC with 2 PF Motor M (Steering and drive), 1 PF LED lights, 1 PF IR Sensor and 1 Lithium Battery
1909 pioneer aircraft by Louis Blériot. Used for the first crossing of the English Channel by airplane. First modern monoplane with stick control. Three-cylinder engine designed by Anzani, originally for motorbikes. Lego model incorporates all important features, including stick control for elevator and wing-warping, pedal control for rudder, moving semi-radial engine, and fully suspended landing gear. Wingspan 78cm, 1085 Lego parts.
Alma Mater - Easton Street, High Wycombe. Was once Wycombe Grammar School. They moved to Terriers/Amersham Hill to accommodate 1000 pupils. Old premises became Wycombe Technical Institute [ 450 boys ] then Wycombe Technical School. Rumour had it buildings were rated 'unfit for educational purposes' circa 1950, but it soldiered on until 1966.
11+ or no 11+ it was a bit rough...
