Day 5!
To balance out the very piece-intensive technique from yesterday, I thought I should post a simpler one today. This one is a very simple method of reversing stud direction, based on 1x2 grille tiles and mini blaster triggers. As you can see in the picture, you just line up two grille tiles with the stud receiving ends outward and push the flat ends of two trigger pieces through the slots, one from each side. This is commonly done using lever pieces, but using trigger pieces, the structure is only 2 studs wide instead of 3, which can be beneficial. It also allows you to use those trigger pieces, which are generally pretty useless.
The round bits of the triggers do stand out a bit past the sides of the grille tiles, which makes this technique slightly less versatile, but it's still quite effective.
As always, please let me know if you've seen this technique before.

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.

Level 42 are an English pop rock and jazz-funk band, who had a number of worldwide and UK hits during the 1980s and 1990s.
The band gained fame for their high-calibre musicianship—in particular that of Mark King, whose percussive slap-bass guitar technique provided the driving groove of many of the band's hits. The band are also known for the combination of King's lead vocals and keyboard player Mike Lindup's falsetto backing vocals.
After much success as a live and studio band in the 1980s, Level 42's commercial profile diminished during the early 1990s following a series of personnel changes and musical shifts. After disbanding in 1994, the band reformed in 2001.
Their most successful single in their homeland was "Lessons in Love", which reached number three on the UK Singles Chart, and number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, upon its release in 1986. The earlier single, "Something About You" was their most successful single in the States, reaching number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Apeldoorn is one of the greenest cities in the Netherlands. Its charm and lively inner city are enjoyed by a young and sports-minded population.
The city of Apeldoorn is situated in the Veluwe, the largest low-land nature reserve in north-western Europe. The area consists of woods and heathlands and is a popular destination with tourists, who visit the area for its excellent hiking and cycling. Its space and tranquility make Apeldoorn one of the most popular Dutch cities to live in.
The Dutch royal family has always had close ties with Apeldoorn, which is home to the stately Het Loo Palace, the former summer residence of the Dutch Royal family. The palace was built by William III of Orange in the seventeenth century. Today, the palace and its gardens are a national museum and open to the public.

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.
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.
Finally got my file server hooked up and now I settled down in my new home, I can get back to "flickr'ing" again. :)
I took this one as part of a series of inscent abstract smoke art a while ago shortly before my move. I refined the technique a little bit by restricting the light to a "flat" beam sweeping across from the side instead of having a bare flash lighting up unwanted parts. This results in much sharper images due to the better controlled focus, and also less dust particles caught. This makes the retouching job so much easier. Again, this is far from perfect, and I'm still trying to figure out how to improve upon it.
More on this on my blog later.

Hello friends, I'm sharing this photo to promote Classical Bricks' second annual Castle Techniques contest on MOCPages! It looks like it will be a blast, and I'm particularly interested in this contest because, unlike so many competitions that are based primarily on impressive look, this one focuses on the techniques you use to build. It's promoting creativity, and I like that! I will try my best to enter, and you all should too! Even for those of you who don't build castle, this would be a great way to push the limit of your skills and gather some great techniques in the genre from other builders.
Plus, Digital creations are allowed! That means busy college student me can enter, so I'm thrilled!
Also, There will be prizes. So why not build? Come on over to MOCPages and have some Castle-building fun!

Revisiting techniques of graphic work using ink on X-ray and imaging documents. Transposing the material version into the virtual medium through a photo montage process involving composition, adjustments of colour, light and contrast. The final stage involved applying superimposing the end image on a photo representing liquid and light.

This is one of many ways to make a nifty round shape fit into a brick-built hull. Go crazy and view it large.
A new technique for me: photo stacking. This picture consists of six pictures, each at a slightly different focus point to get the lake fly in focus from front to back. Taken with my good old Nikon in combination with extensions tubes, since I don't have a macro lens.
I found the (dead) lake fly near our bedroom window and placed it on a mirror for this picture.

A studs-on-top technique for building 45-degree wall corners with no gaps and without using hinges or floating walls. The wall is completely interlocked and solid, with no gaps at the seams or on the top surface.
Did you know while flying away with the freshly-caught prey, an 🐦Osprey will manipulate the 🐟 fish so that it is parallel to the 🐦bird’s body, and thus aerodynamic? This is the exact technique an ✈️ airplane employs to take off the ground…
Make sure to notice it the next time you take a ✈️ flight…
Don’t forget to share with your friends.

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.
Insipred by Erik Almas works I decided to try this work like he does. I'm far away from he's technique... let's keep shooting :)
Got the exterior to the front entrance of the mansion near complete. So far so good. My client is happy so I am happy :D

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.
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.

Moving on up! Got the second story started :D
I see I am going to have to go back through the tower and give it come more texture to match the other walls.

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.
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
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.
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 :/
A look at how I assembled the roof of this pagoda. You could potentially strengthen it with another layer of rounded 1x2 plates, but that might just make fixing it more annoying.
