Upscaled & upgraded to look like a taken-over derelict factory building. Includes Joker's 'Slide of Doom' into light-up acid, 'Runaway Coaster' with moving eyes, 'Fearris Wheel', Harley's 'Maze of Mirrors', 'Bat-Bowling' & Riddler's 'Mis-Fortune Teller'.
My newest building is inspired by a condo featured in one of my favorite new TV series, Orphan Black, filmed on location in Toronto.
This is sunset on Tuesday, Dec 3, 2024, at Cherry Creek State Park, Colorado Parks and Wildlife I took this with my iPhone 16 Pro, which is always handy. Nearby, I waited over an hour for a Northern harrier to show up and hunt, with $20,000+ of equipment around my neck and shoulder. Walking back to my car, I saw this. Rather than change the lens on my camera, I just raised my phone and took this.
I DID process the Color and Contrast in my iPhone and I Sharpened and Upscaled it with Topaz AI, so it's not straight out of the iPhone. (Funny, then I downscaled it for FB, using Flickr).
BTW, iPhones have built in adjustment software, where you can easily raise Contrast, adjust the colors and straighten the horizon if not level. You can also crop. Anyway, just a tiny bit of adjustment will make your phone images pop much better than straight out of the phone.
Thank you, Oceanway School For The Arts (actually, Oceanway Junior High School, Oceanway, FL), where I first studied photography. in "Graphic Arts" class. REALLY! Go Bears!

I use this for testing my prompts. Sometimes also to use the results as seed images on Nightcafe.

I really do have a liking for remaking Blacktron ships, especially the ship from 6988 Alpha Centauri Outpost. In fact, if you look at most of my large scale ships, you would notice a certain resemblance to this ship. Todays offering, my first MOC of 2025, perhaps inspired by the new Blacktron Renegade set, is an upscaling of the Alpha Centauri ship.
I've been wanting to do an upscaled version of the cockpit using those larger 10x10 domes. IT turned out pretty good, I would say.
If you ever been to Disney's Grand Floridian then you know how beautiful of a place it really is. While it's way out of my price range, I still like to go and walk around and take photos. Here's another shot that I have never taken before but I really like how the doors lead you into the photo itself. It just adds a little uniqueness to the shot. Have a magical day!
Imagine being a kid living on a farm back in medieval times. What do you do for fun when all your chores are done? Well Leif and Sven use their favourite farm animals to have epic races around the farm, pretending to be in a colosseum like the old man Julius keeps talking about. But who’s the fastest? Sven and his goat or Leif and his pig?
Together with Dr. Church, we built these for the collaborative category of Brickscalibur - The Crazy Goat-Cart race. We have a goat, we have carts, and because Dan is hooked on motorizing everything, we have a crazy up-scaled size that can even race for real! Check out the video for a little sample of the cart actually driving.
This has been quite the ride! Or race? Thanks to Dan for designing the motor assembly and for coming up with this crazy idea. I’ve had a lot of fun! The most challenging part for me (aside from getting it to actually drive on my not very suitable for the task floors), was designing the pig. When I started out my collection of medium nougat consisted of maybe 10 different types of parts, including plates, tiles and bricks. Needless to say, my collection of medium nougat has grown a lot since then… Getting the head shaped especially was really challenging, but I am really pleased with the result!
As we afols know very well the proportions of the LEGO minifigures are not conform to those of a human's body. Based on different characters, I was trying to adjust the proportions
to our human body.
A Upscale Creation on Deep Dream from Nightcafe AI
The seed comes from Nightcafe where I tried every way possible to achieve a scene where all the weird characters of late are assembled. This is weird enough, I thought, so I let it stand and upscaled it on Deep Dream.
The prompt on Nightcafe was this (Note it doesn't work on DeepDream as well as on Nightcafe, where I evolved it several times from Flux and Lightning models):
The frantic Ayahuasca Rabbit and Alice diving into the Wonderland hole where they meet the Chicken Monster and his cousin, the Chibi-eating monster cavorting with their Sesame Steet friends from Jim Henson - A Surreal Fantasy Painting by the Mystic Otto Rapp under the Influence of funny bone extract with ayahuasca, inspired by Ernst Fuchs, H.R. Giger and Beksinski, oil paint on canvas, detailed strokes, psychedelic collage, cryptid taxidermy in Bogomils Universe, imperial colors
This "Upscale Halloween Party" was held on October 28, 2008 to benefit "Paws for the Cause" and The Palm Beach International Film Festival.

I was just published in Upscale Living Magazine and it was pretty cool. A lot of my favorites, including this one, didn't make it in so I wanted to share them with the world. The entire set is over on Facebook if you wanted to take a look!
Also, I want to meet new people. Check me out on Twitter: @CassKris or Instagram: CassidyKristiansen. You won't regret it (too much).
I was drawn to the contrast between the buff and red bricks.

For half a century, London Underground’s A60/A62 Metropolitan Line stock threaded its way among the upscale North West London and Home Counties suburbs, with termini at Watford, Chesham and Amersham. The Metropolitan Railway also provided the rolling stock for the East London Line between Shoreditch and New Cross/New Cross Gate after it was electrified in 1913. This line became part of the London Underground network in 1933.
The A Stock was only drafted into East London Line service in the 1980s, 4-car units providing the service along the 5.6 mile route. I captured this view of 5060 approaching Surrey Quays Station on a northbound service. These trains terminated at Whitechapel, with only peak-hour M-F trains going to the end of the line at Shoreditch.

When I am doing some upscale shopping I like to dress the part. It's important to look classy to the ladies working in the stores and blending in with the other fashionable women shoppers. A moderate length hounds tooth skirt fits the bill for this type of shopping, and oh yeah, a happy big smile helps too !
This addition to the modified 1x2 Plate family features hollow studs on top and a 3.18 bar centered on the underside, allowing for offsets and inversions in one compact package. Originally this came from a struggle to narrow a microscale ship down to a single stud width without compromising on the structural integrity.
