Just a Notice

Everyone seems to be very excited over at TBB about the 2009 sets leak, but all the talk has been pirates, farmers, blah blah blah...



HAS NO ONE SEEN THIS?

Here's what I think.

1. It's clearly labeled an RC car. That means powered drive and steering.

2. The floating hands are controlling the car via a PF remote, and you can see the IR receiver poking up just in front of the rear spoiler.

3. The chassis is only eight studs wide. There is only one kind of motor you can fit in that kind of space and still have room for all of the detailing on top (in addition to a battery pack):

Why do we misspell things here? To be cool, obviously. How interested would you be if the title was "Orange Girl"? Not very, I'll tell you that. Here's another "unmanned control experiment machine" from sugegasa:



Oh, sugegasa. Who else builds mecha with bangs on a regular basis?

There Are No Rules

As Andrew Lee proves by destroying all the set guidelines to the NASCAR fad, with
this super cool car.

Tankin' through SPACE...

I wish Soren would upload more than one picture of his models, because they're pure eye candy.

Hey, no tongue!

And today, guns.

Yeah, there have ben some decent models posted today. Some of them are kind of cool. I might even blog one of them if I have to... wait. What's this? Dan Jassim to the rescue!



There is no doubt that his Blacktron Destroyer is worthy of our hall of awesome. In particular, he's used a giant UFO piece on the front; those are hard to incorporate at full-scale, let alone micro.

What, no guns?

Jehkay is continuing his theme of exploration vehicles with this truck:



Visit his photostream to see it in action, and read the fun description.

All I Ask Is A Tall Ship And A Star To Steer Her By.

One of my favorite builders from my early days on CSF is Chris Mallow (porschecm2)
His latest build is this lovely microscale cruiser. My favorite parts are the stripes on the aft, and the indention in the bow. Nice shaping using simple techniques.

9.49 PM

As I type this, our area is being hit by a ferocious thunderstorm. It was only raining when I walked outside to get my root beer from the store, but now the roads are rivers, and the lawn is half-white with small, grape-sized hail. At one point, there was a thunderclap that sounded like a large gunshot.

Damn, I love this weather.

EDIT:

12.54 AM

Slight flooding in the basement, looks like the ground was just that saturated. Moved all the furniture off the wall and now we're standing on towels to absorb the water. Thankfully, we're getting off with a bit of dampness. It's still raining mediumly, and thunder and lightning are frequent.

Recipe For The Day

Step 1: Otto builds a hovercraft
Step 2: I see said hovercraft.
