    Happy Canada Day. Who is going to Brickfete Toronto this weekend?

    I think you're right. Brickshelf and Flickr have been spotty lately. Lets try Photobucket.

    Are you including the VIP folks who made qualifying LEGO purchases in your odds?

    Nice. What kind of cars are the Class 20 pulling? They look like they have transclear sides from the pictures. Maybe it's the lighting.

    Good run down looking MOC.

    LOL. Will your hamster be wearing a top hat in your review? He's certainly gentlemanly.

    Excellent review, Jim. This is definitely a buy.

    Since he had a white subject with a darkish background, he could set the camera to use spot or center metering instead of evaluative. Then the white probably wouldn't get blown out. I think blown out details would be hard to recover in post processing. I would go with RAW too if it is an important shot. RAW comes with extra work which you may or may not have time for. Lightroom can make the workflow easier. I would advocate learning to shoot correctly and getting good shots out of the camera first before relying on post processing as a clutch.

    This Photoshop stuff is hard.

    I think there is a difference in asking what can LEGO do to make their Technic sets more realistic for AFOLs versus what did LEGO do fundamental wrong? Some ideas may not be business case viable for LEGO to pursue, then maybe an enterprising 3rd party can produce them. Over in trains, we have more realistic 3rd party compatible wide radius curves that can be used with LEGO trains.

    Are there any more free ones?

    LEGO are toys. Toys are a representation of real machines but designed with child's play in mind which has different criteria than what you're after. Having real hydraulic fluid can be messy for little kids to work with and if they eat the fluid, you could be looking at some nasty liability lawsuit. There is a fascinating world of scaled RC modeling of trucks and construction machines if you haven't explored that before. It might be more suited for the realism that you seek.

    Yeah, like that when presenting it has a final product. I think for a teaser the whole model could be out of focus, not just part of it. Viewers see the mystery of the general shape. Alternatively put a sheet over the model and photograph that. Or provide a clear close up of some detailed part of the model without showing the rest of the model. You want to build up suspense of something great is coming. Wet their appetite for wanting more. Just don't disappoint when the final reveal happens.

    Your blurred background is perfect as your model is in focus. I was refering to shots where the front half of the subject model is in perfect focus and the rear half is out of focus. Your eyes follow the lines of the model and wondering if you're getting vertigo as things are going from clear to blurry. Cool NCU - nice cup usage.

    That's no rat, It is a hamster. It's fun to watch him/her, wondering if he/she is ever going to pee or poop in the model. The Arocs does come with a clam shell bucket to scoop stuff.

    Good work. Nice use of parts like the MF legs and rubber pieces from hoover craft.

    The big bad wolf is going to have trouble finding those pigs.

    Neat idea. Works great as a monorail. It even looks the part.
