Paper Crafting Technique of Lion Heads
Lion head paper crafting has a long history in Hong Kong. The birthday celebrations held for deities in villages are usually accompanied by dancing lions or other auspicious animals. They worshipped at shrines and temples to report to the deities, and hence lion head paper crafting emerged. The lion head costume comes in Foshan 佛山裝, Heshan 鶴山裝 and “Fo-He” 佛鶴裝 styles. Some craftmen depict the lion heads in different colours to resemble historical figures from the Three Kingdoms such as Liu Bei 劉備 (yellow face with multicoloured patterns and a white beard), Guan Yu 關羽 (red face with a black beard), Zhang Fei 張飛 (black-and-white face, green nose with a black beard), Zhao Yun 起趙雲 (green face with a black beard), Huang Zhong 黃忠 (with yellow as the main tone). Lion head paper crafting comprises four processes, namely crafting the frame, mounting the paper, colouring and decorating 紮作，撲紙，寫色，裝上裝飾配件。
The distinctive hunting technique of pied kingfishers has earned the species a few records. Not only are they the largest hovering bird, but they are also the only kingfishers with the ability to perform a figure of eight wing stroke.
They hunt by hovering 50-65 feet above the water and then diving headfirst (or rather, bill-first) into the water. Pied kingfishers demonstrate spectacular speed and agility on the hunt.
The kingfisher bird’s black and white colors and hovering ability are their most distinctive qualities. You’ll often spot the pied kingfisher live in action, hovering over bodies of water.
Vary difficult to get an image as they fly past you so fast and I was standing in a boat. Amazing birds
This is an idea I had last year and have used it on several MOCs since. I keep meaning to get around to posting some pictures of it, so here it is. The technique uses four cheese slopes stuck in the corners of a 2xn plate (works from 2x3 up to 2x10). Then stuck into an equivalent sized brick. It also works for a 2x2 if you use just 2 cheesers. It is very clutchy, so no worries about your MOCs coming apart.

I aim to make the every day bland things look beautiful. For HMM I chose a kitchen utensil used daily. 'Low key' photography is a stylistic technique using reduced lighting (usually from a single source) and a darkened background to produce images characterized by striking contrasts, dark tones and shadows (MM).

Rey. The Scavenger from Jakku. A new hope for the galaxy.
When I was finished with Tusken, I've pretty much chose to continue within the set-up by making a few changes to it and here’s what I’ve got in return. There we’re lots of potential frames from the session and I’m sure I can ‘play’ with these later, but this particular frame did the tricks on me. I can’t tell you the exact reason, why I chose this frame, maybe it’s because it sums up the technique, I’ve used for it, leaving out just a bit something, which were found on those other frames. I’m pretty sure, I will continue to playing with this session on some other day!
A solution I found for a 180 degree reversal in a 1x3 brick package. I like the symmetry and the fact that there are two studs on each side. I used this in www.flickr.com/photos/96739476@N04/14201282524/in/photost....
I reckon I've come up with a new building technique using a 30134 - Staircase 7x4x6 as rafters. I apologise in advance if this technique has been posted before.
The advantages of using a 30134 - Staircase 7x4x6 piece in this context is allowing the roof to be structurally stronger and they also represent the wooden rafters that go diagonally across a typical roof. Follow the link below to see the breakdown of the technique used in this MOC.

I put up a tutorial on InnovaLUG's website about how I made the roof for my Age of Empires II Market creation.
Read the tutorial on the website:

Because it's not a step-by-step kind of technique, you just experiment with the connections and with how much of a weathered look you want until you're happy with the results. The post on the website goes into more detail about the process if you're interested.
The droplets again !
THE TECHNIQUE!
I used soft pastels and drew them on some card to get those colours I then used a pane of clear glass and cleaned it, I then placed the glass above the coloured card about 2 feet above but this can be any height really but it does have to be high enough for the subject to be out of focus, the higher it is the more detail in the reflections.
I then used a eye dropper filled with water and placed the droplets on the surface of the pane of glass and just focusing on the droplets and nothing else to get this results, go on have a go yourselves!! You can use any subject material just use your imagination!
I'm packing up my Lego collection, and finding all these bits that never got photographed. I hadn't posted a pic like this in a while, so here you go :)
Note: I don't even remember whether I came up with the Dark Red one or if that was someone's REC submission... if it had a note attached to it, it doesn't anymore :( If it's yours please let me know!

I finished a design video for the *cockpit* of my custom LEGO spaceship, Astrea. It’s at https://youtu.be/XTm9-6GDWlo.
I tried a new, digital approach/format for this video because I'm currently away from my physical models. (I plan to create some additional videos for other parts of Astrea in this format, and I'll be releasing the full digital file. Kindly stand by!)
Additional materials (photos, background, digital design) for Astrea and my other LEGO creations are at https://www.galacticplastics.com.
First attempt to learn the tools of acrylic painting. No mistakes when the goal is learning...great fun! No comments needed...just enjoy the colors.
This is intended to become the base on which some device can swivel around. It took a bit of trial and error to make it almost perfectly round. I added the inner hole just for fun :)
Perhaps of use.
Speaking of useful, if you only have a phone and struggle with photographing your stuff properly, have a look at my latest video here here.

ICM (Intentional Camera Motion) technique, 1st try. 3 exposures with Multiply blend and some more Ps stuff.
Or really Day 8, but whatever.
The final technique! This one is my personal favorite. Two years ago, I came up with this technique, which allows for bricks that are 2 plates high and 2 studs wide to be spaced half a plate apart from each other. Ever since, I've been trying to come up with a way to fill those 1/2 plate gaps, and this is my best solution. :)
This technique, much like the one that inspired it, is based on clip-and-bar connections. The two key pieces are 1x2 grille tiles and minifigure neck brackets, along with some trusty 4L or 5L bars and 1x1 tiles with clip. This one is more complex than the others, so I'll explain it step by step:
1. Select a brick color (or colors). Gather up a bunch of 1x2 grille tiles and 1x2 plates in that color and connect them together to form the "bricks" in the wall.
2. Select a "mortar" color. Gather up a bunch of minifigure neck brackets and 1x2 grille tiles in this color. You'll probably want to go with light or dark bley for this one.
3. Gather up a bunch of 1x1 tile with clip pieces and rod pieces. Connect all the 1x1 tiles with clip to the studs of the minifigure neck brackets.
4. Construct a supporting structure. This just has to be something that props up all the rod pieces so you can form a backbone for the wall. However, this gets a bit tricky. In this technique, each layer of bricks is actually 22 LDU high, or in conventional terms 2 plates plus 3/4ths of a plate. This is because when you stack two 1x2 grille plates so their tops interlock, the result is 1 and 3/4 plates high. In order to get all the bars lined up properly, it's easiest to make a support structure that has horizontal 1x_ plates that are each 1/4th of a plate apart.
The easiest way I know to create 1/4th plate offsets is to place two 1x1 plates on the sides of one of these ("Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip Light - Thick Ring") and then to connect those 1x1 plates to snot pieces such as 1x1 technic bricks.
5. Connect the rod pieces to the supporting structure, then connect the minifigure neck brackets with 1x1 tiles with clip to the rod pieces so that the holes of the brackets are all facing sideways. Each minifigure neck bracket should be placed 2 studs apart from the next one, and they have to be staggered as seen in the picture.
6. Finally, stack the 1x2 grille tiles of the background color uspide down into the "bricks" you prepared in the first step so the grille tiles of the background color are 1/2 of a plate farther inward than the "bricks". Then, insert these structures in between the minifigure neck brackets.
The result is a wall that, despite being comprised mostly of loose pieces, is quite sturdy. You can hold it at a 45º angle and the brackets will safely keep all the loose pieces lodged in. In addition, there are no prominent gaps!
The one issue with the technique is that the horizontal lines are 5/8ths of a plate wide, while the vertical lines are only 3/8ths of a plate wide. However, this isn't all that noticable unless you look straight at the wall – it looks balanced when viewed from an angle.
If anyone has seen this technique used before, please let me know! Also, if anyone figures out a way to make all of the mortar lines exactly half a plate wide, please do share it with me! I've been trying to solve this technical problem for a year now and would love to know if there are other solutions. :)
Check out this awesome build by Sandro Tagliaferri to see the technique in action!
I decided to give Clemmy a little makeover and here is her new crazy wild hair.... I hope you like her :D... if anyone would like to know how to do this then please do leave comments or feel free to message :D
Thanks for the visit :)
One of our favorite roof techniques!
Some facets of this have been dabbled in before by various builders, but we think this is the first time the staggering of individual tiles, the offset of every other row, and the clean yet random joint at the top has been done. Anyways, we hope you like it, but feel free to tag or mention so we can credit people who've done various versions of this before. :)

My first model of 2017, I have had the idea for this build for sometime, and finally found time to do it. The building is modeled after Bits and Pieces, the general store in Solitude from the game Skyrim. I used the same stonework design as I did in my Nordheim Farmhouse creation, though this time in dark bley. A tutorial for that technique is available. The rather complex layout of the building offered some challenges to recreate in LEGO, but I’m quite pleased with the finished result. It lifts off the base and hinges open to reveal the full interior.
See plenty more images on brickbuilt.

Repost... Still playing with photoshop color techniques processing slides:)
Tennessee Pass. Mitchell, Colorado. June 1996. If memory serves correctly this eastbound coal load was one of the first Test DPU coal trains run over the Pass. This 2x2 configuration eliminated a manned crew out of Glenwood Springs. The train still had a standard 4 unit manned push out of Minturn. The train was also one motor short and was barely making a crawl as it dug into the toughest part of the ascent...... Power short Southern Pacific was trying to get the most out the new AC traction locomotives. At this time Southern Pacific was running taconite trains westbound to Geneva Steel, on the return trip the trains were loaded with Colorado and Utah Coal for midwestern industry (Colorado Coal is prized by the Cement industry) and utilities.
If you have 1000 cupboard doors and no cupboards for them what could you use them for?

I made a water tower for an upcoming build and used this technique to make it. Not sure if it's new/ of use to anyone but thought I'd post it anyway. Would work for stairs too?
Technique: Sometimes the subject I'm shooting gets so use to me being close that it just goes about its business as if I'm not there. All I had to do is set the camera to under expose the natural light in the background, and I shaded the subject so that the flash was the only significant light source on the mantis (to freeze motion). Not long after I took this frame the Mantis climbed onto one of my flash diffusers :)
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon EF-S 60mm macro lens with 37mm of extension + a diffused MT-24EX (flash head "A" set as the key and "B" as the fill, with the key on a Kaiser flash shoes). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
