This connection of the Throwbot Visor is one of the most rigid and useful I've come up with. The trigger from the minifig shooter fits almost perfectly into the lever base.

This technique is based on the fact that groove in the 2x1 brick looks the same as the flat tile above and below it under the right angle. This technique is suitable for monumental stone walls. In this case for a Roman Temple.
Here by the artist Pøbel, in Vinje on Gimsøya, Lofoten.
Ghetto Spedalsk was DOLK and PØBEL's project in the far north of Norway: painting on deserted houses against the wild and extreme nature of the Lofoten. Deemed by many as one of the worlds most interesting streetart projects. With them they also had Italian film creator DAVIDE FASOLO, who made the film titled "Living Decay", which can be seen here .
The often satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stencilling technique. You can amongst other things see a piece of art being created with these stencils in the movie above!
I did not know about this project before visiting the Lofoten, so sadly enough this is the only piece I saw while driving around on a misty evening.
~While Messing around with my Mushroom Plates I came up with these two ways to make more authentic Mushrooms. The First one uses the new Frill piece from the new "Shakespeare" minifigure. The second one may not be new but I still like it.
Also, there is a new Lego Mushrooms
group for all of your Lego Mushroom Needs. Feel free to use the first one as long as you give credit where needed. :D
I turned a corner with this design! Literally. The front is almost complete, ready to add the last roof section then onto the left side.

A quick roof tutorial.
tried a new technique this week, you might have seen it before and wondered how it's done. Looks incredibly advanced on the putside right? Well let me show you one simple trick :D
Back in 2020, I uploaded a five-act video highlighting the delicate and ephemeral beauty of soap bubble films interacting with incident light to produce dynamic interference patterns of unique, colorful and infinite fascinating forms, see this link: www.flickr.com/photos/193488782@N06/51759190926/in/album-...
In the process I discovered that lighting of the soap bubbles is both tricky and paramount to getting quality still or moving images of the interference patterns. All published videos I came across on the Internet light the bubbles from above, generally with diffused light from soft boxes or light boxes. However, I found the published lighting technique hampered with undesired reflection issues, camera maneuvering limitations and incomplete lighting of the bubbles. Instead, I pivoted to a different lighting technique that involved illuminating the soap bubbles from below using a 4” flat LED light that provided uniform illumination of the subject. A light table could have instead been used with the same result provided it is uniform, does not impart a color cast or excessive flickering, the latter being especially important for video captures.
In order to prevent soap seepage into the LED light circuitry, the upward facing light housing was covered with a clear glass plate taken from picture frame onto which the soap bubbles were placed.
The camera was focused on the far (back) side of the bubbles where colors and forms are best captured. To minimize ghosting effects from the near side of the bubbles, a piece of thick white paper was inserted between the LED light and the cover glass to partially block light from the forward half portion of the LED light. A black paper insert can also be used but has not been found to make a noticeable difference from that of the white paper.
A black velvet blind was hung 5 ft from the soap bubbles opposite to the tripod-mounted camera. The ambient light was killed to prevent reflection of room features onto the soap bubbles. Here, a 105 mm macro lens is used as it offered good flexibility for capturing the entire bubbles as well as their macro features by simply moving the camera in closer. Lens extension tubes can be used to get even closer to capture the finer details of the interference patterns. The larger the soap bubbles, the better in as far as reducing the working depth of field when larger bubble surface area are to be captured by the camera. Here the bubbles were about 3.5” in diameter at their bases.
Several other lenses and countless camera settings can be used to capture different aspects of the soap bubble light interference patterns. Likewise, soap formulations, bubble sizes and bubble application techniques are just as many. Those variables are left to the discretion of the experimentalist photographers interested in discovering the beauty of soap bubbles. All that’s needed is rekindling the innate curiosity of children. This is a perfect project for those long cold winter evenings.

Further to the previous installment…
When packing models, it good to pack similar models together. In the unlikely event that parts do break off in transit, parts will often be interchangeable making the models much easier to reassemble. One of our club members demonstrates this technique here using his S-class diesel and steam locomotives.
Τρεις φίλοι που μοιράζονται την ίδια χαρά για δημιουργία, περιέργεια και την ανάγκη να βρίσκονται μαζί. Η φωτογραφία δεν είναι ο στόχος, αλλά η αφορμή για να περνάνε όμορφα τις ελεύθερες στιγμές στους. Με αυτό τον τρόπο ταξίδεψαν σε καινούργια μέρη και γνώρισαν νέες εμπειρίες. Ακόμη όμως και στους καθημερινούς τόπους, όπου όλα είναι γνωστά και περπατημένα, κατάφεραν να δουν και να γνωρίσουν νέες εικόνες, αλλάζοντας απλώς τον τρόπο και την οπτική που τα έβλεπαν τόσα χρόνια. Με αυτό τον τρόπο έμαθαν και μαθαίνουν καθημερινά νέες τεχνικές, νέα προγράμματα και τρόπους επεξεργασίας, ακόμη και να φτιάχνουν τα δικά τους ηλεκτρονικά gadgets, αλλά και τις δικές τους "μεταφωτογραφικές" τεχνικές εκτύπωσης...και έπεται συνέχεια.
Αφιερωμένο στους φίλους μου Παναγιώτη και Νίκο, που μαζί με 'μένα κάναμε την άτυπη αυτή ομάδα της χαράς και της δημιουργίας, μία ουσιαστική παρέα και φιλία. Τους Nikonians του Βόλου.
Three friends sharing their creativity, curiosity and the need to come together. The photo is not the goal, but the challenge for new experiences and beautiful moments in their free time. In this way, they travel to new places, meet new people, new knowledge, new feelings. Even, in everyday places where all are known, they are able to see and experience new images, simply by changing the perspective of how they see the things with help of art of photography. They are learning new photography techniques, new softwares and processing ways, make their own electronic gadgets and also learning on how to print their photos with art style. The game never stops.
This video is dedicated to my friends Panagiotis and Nikos, who along with me, we participating at this informal group of joy and creativity, an essential company and friendship. They are the Nikonians of Volos.
This is one of many ways to make a nifty round shape fit into a brick-built hull. Go crazy and view it large.
Each time this duck dived into the rapids and under the water, I would move forward. This technique allowed me to get very close. After this image, the bird actually swam up river right beside me and into the sun. I was not able to secure any perfect action shots of the bird in the water, but overall it was still a wonderful nature photography experience.

I'm working on a couple of builds that I'm not getting far with... I thought I'd chuck some stuff together in this pic for fun.
So, I felt like performing a photoshop experiment today; to see whether I could crop the Calgary skyline from one shot I had taken and paste it over a vivid sky-only sunset shot I had taken, and this upload was the result.
The skyline and grass and tree area below was cropped from my Skyline Sunset photo from early January of this year and merged into my Smoldering Skyscape photo from around the same time.
I think the result is very cool and beautiful and plan to experiment more with this technique!
I would love to know what you all think of my photo merging experiment!
I wanted to create a specific shape, and this one was quite troublesome to deal with for me. I'm not sure if there's an easier way, but this ended up working out perfectly.
My latest commission project finished, the walls of Minas Tirith. This was designed to be playset scale and will be the centerpiece of a large battle scene.

I recently (i.e. last night) faced an onerous problem: in one of the panels of the Ugly Duckling, I had to fill a one plate thick gap that was not a whole number of studs in length. Up until recently, these brackets where the only way I know of to do that--the corner part is one plate by one plate. However, being giant brackets they are hard to use in small spaces. In my case that wouldn't have worked at all, because the entire thickness of the panel at that point was one stud + one plate. I found a solution with the newish triangle tiles. I was at first annoyed that these tiles have the corners clipped off, but then I realized that it's roughly half a plate that is clipped off. That means that in cases where just the edge is showing, we can chain these things together to fill a gap that is one plate thick by a fractional number of studs. The first frame shows an example, viewed from the side as intended. Note that there are four plates SNOTed in the middle, not the usual five plates that would give you a two stud gap. The second frame shows it from the top. The third frame shows how the length is one plate less than 8 studs. The fourth frame shows the actual panel from the Ugly Duckling where I applied this. I've exploited this in numerous other places. Moving them a plate farther apart creates a 1 plate x 1 plate gap. I used that here on the black pipes in the top right, creating a gap exactly the right size for a 4735 robot arm to pass through, which makes an attachment point for the pipes much less distracting than a bar clip.
Got inspired by GolPlaysWithLego to try some more ways to attach the Throwbot Visor.
Just two box wrenches and two wheels. Tried to attach the wrenches to binoculars but it stresses the visor and the wrenches + it’s unnecessary. The wrenches are actually trapped by each other here, and it holds together nicely.
This is a way to attach leaves on probably a spruce tree. I haven't tried it out yet myself, but I guarantee it's pretty sturdy.
This my first attempt using the Expansion technique. I can't wait to do more and perfect it. I shot this image with my 50MM and there is 6 photos in here.
I've always been infatuated with sirens. They are so mysterious, sexy and dangerous. Men just can't keep they're eyes off of them. So I decided to make my siren come to life. A very simple image that I fell in love with

Here's how I built the wall in my last moc- it's pretty simple, basically just a bunch of jumper plates connected in a repeating pattern.
Sorry about the terrible picture :P
Busy day of fighting the demons of self doubt and imposter syndrome today. This is why I don't like the quiet days that run on and on... when I am working and busy my mind doesn't go to those unwanted places.
I combated it a bit by starting to learn some new techniques to bring into my work... when some eventually appears!
And annoying the cat.
1. materials:
camera, human subject with her equipment on a big cart, wooden platform on the beach, sunset, mountains, sand
2. idea
I wanted to capture this unusual moment where a woman was strolling through the beach with a big cart that's physically bigger than her, so then I captured that "juxtaposition" composition of having that much equipment on a beach when instead you should be carrying one or two things when going to a beach not your whole house.
3. technique:
I waited for the right moment by taking multiple shots of the woman strolling through the wooden platform and chose the one where she was in the center out of all the photos I took.

Just little techniques I’m WIP’n up for my new diesel - it’s in blue for this example, because I don’t have the parts for dark green :/
I saw this egret fishing technique like a live show in display. It used the left or right foot to stir the water under almost like swirling and then pounce precisely to fetch the fish. It’s like a martial artist applies jabbing technique before delivering the powerful punch.

An alternative method can be used to create thinner ribs of only 1 plate thickness which can be located within the structure of the van in the same way. I didn't use this technique because the panels would have been too small and the van would have ended up too short as a consequence. The parts coloured red are PN:11211 and PN:30414.
Technique is everything when using the 2x with the 500mm , this is ok , but I have shaky hands , so much better is possible.

I was playing around with the shell extensions, and came upon this. There's enough room to fit various Technic connectors through the gap.
Xylography or engraving is the etching technique in which wood is used as a template and allows the playback of the recorded image on paper or other suitable support. It is a very similar process with a stamp.
These hands are one of the best artists from Brazil , Dra . Yolanda Carvalho.
I don't often post instructions or techniques but though I would just put this out here. Not that great at editing it all together but some might find it interesting. It's the cockpit area from my most recent starfighter - Toxic V1. I built it from memory in LDD, so hopefully its OK. Probably should have chosen a different angle/more colored details for some of the harder to figure out areas. Feel free to recommend improvements or change any part of this to suit your needs. 74 pieces as is.

The matte painting (which can be translated with painting backgrounds) is a technique used mainly in film used to allow the representation of landscapes or places otherwise too costly or impossible to reconstruct or reach directly.
