Proving all previous astronomers wrong, in the year 2116 it is discovered that the moon actually *is* made of cheese …at least under the surface. Builder Galaktek is here to help though, having constructed a booming mining industry; one that utilizes cranes, cargo ships and chainsaws to extract the precious substance. The most useful mining […]
This crazy conglomeration of tiny twee turrets and giant crazy treads, all decked out in a blindingly yellow color scheme is somewhere in the middle of terrifying and adorable. Huib Versteeg calls it the Obnoxiously Yellow Landship. I call it awesome.

H. Loomis. (GPS N42°47.880, W085°37.444) The monument script says that He Died as He Lived, For His Country. The story of Libby prison: also some perils and sufferings of certain of its inmates The old brick building in the 3rd image is the notorious Libby Prison, was built about 1852 by Mr. John Enders, the father of the tobacco trade of Richmond. Mr. Enders. lost his life by a fall from a ladder while the building, was in course of construction. Capt. Libby, from whom the building takes the name, was only a tenant under Mr. Enders, He conducted a ship chandlery business. The block of buildings which constituted the prison consists of three tenements, each 110x44 feet, four stories, fronting north on Cary street and south on Dock. The western end of the block, generally seen in the various cuts of the building, opened on the cross street. The corner tenement is now owned by the Southern Fertilizing Company, and the other two by Mrs. George S. Palmer, a daughter of Mr. Enders who built the block. The building was converted into a prison in 1861, and was used as such until the end of the war. It was more especially an officers prison, but prisoners of all grades were received, registered and transferred to Belle Isle, Andersonville, Salisbury and other points It is estimated that from 40,000 to 50,000 prisoners passed through this prison during the period from 1861 to 1865. The books of the institution were carefully and systematically kept, including a complete register of arrivals, departures, deaths, burials, &c., &c., and are supposed to be now in the possession of the government In February, 1864, Colonel Streight and a number of his comrades made their escape by tunneling under the prison walls on the east side and into an adjoining building from which they emerged into the street. Some of the party were recaptured, but others, with Colonel Streight, made good their escape. At times the demand for troops to meet expected raiding parties was so urgent that every available man was sent from Richmond; and on one occasion, when the Libby contained a thousand officers, the entire guard on duty there, excepting the relief on guard, was marched to the city defences to meet the enemy. A large part of the guard duty at the Libby, especially in the latter years of the war, was performed by citizens of Richmond far beyond the age of exemption and totally unable to endure the fatigue of active duty. Probably no more humane or harmless men ever watched over the slumbers of prisoners of war. The “rules and regulations” provided, “nor shall any prisoner be fired upon by a sentinel or other person except in case of revolt or attempted escape.” Five or six cases occurred in which prisoners were killed or wounded in their attempts to escape. An ample supply of water was conveyed to each floor by city pipes, and the prisoners had unlimited supply for bathing and washing. By act of congress, and by order of the Secretary of War, the rations furnished prisoners of war were to be the same in quantity and quality as those furnished to enlisted men in the Confederate States army. If the rations of the prisoners in the Libby deteriorated in quality and diminished in quantity as did the rations of the Confederate soldier in the field, he had cause to complain. But it is doubtful if the prisoners there ever at any time suffered the total deprivation of food for days, or such irregular and limited supply, as the Confederate soldier was familiar with. Any person interested in the “prison” history of the war will find many historical facts in relation thereto in a volume entitled “The Treatment of Prisoners,” published by the Southern Historical Society. The biography of General Bartlett, of the Federal army, who was a prisoner in the Libby, contains very interesting incidents of his stay there. The day has happily come in which the soldiers of each side are agreed that even the bitterness of prison life shall be forgotten. The present owners of the Libby have generously allowed some of the timbers to be removed and made into gavels, which will be on sale at the Lee Camp Fair for the Home for disabled Confederate soldiers. The presiding officer of every Grand Army Post should have one of these “souvenirs” with which to “rap” the Post to order. The above is printed here as a not inappropriate introduction to the list of names, initials, sentiments, etc., written or graven on the walls, window frames and doors of the Libby prison by numbers of those who were so unfortunate as to have suffered forcible detention within its walls. If any of those whose names are here printed now survive, surely this little pamphlet will serve to remind them of the part they took in the cause of the Union, NOW so firm1y established, but THEN in such jeopardy, and will be a valued souvenir to their children in the years that are to come. Nor will the list be less prized by those who read here the name of some dearly loved one, who escaped the dangers of the prison only to die for flag and country on And it may chance that some one will read here THE ONLY RECORD LEFT of some soldier, good and true, who loved his country well, but gave no cry when he died: whose only epitaph was written with his own hand on the walls of his prison.

Alec Doede shows his skills with constructing screen-accurate Star Wars builds again with this Walker Assault scene on planet Sullust inspired by EA Dice’s Star Wars Battlefront. The highlight and most prominent feature of the LEGO diorama is of course the AT-AT, with incredible detail in the legs and armor plating positioned at just the […]
One problem I’ve noticed with standard deadlocks is they can be a bit fragile with the one-stud connection to the upper torso. So I tried replacing the brick-with-stud with a 1x1 technic brick into an upside-down jumper, to get a Deadlock A. This works to keep the top from coming off, but the connection is so clutchy that if you try to rotate the torso, the force required will cause other parts of the frame to break. And I’m not crazy about the options for attaching heads to a studs-down torso.

Haven't given NATO any love in a while. This is my third NATO APC; versions one and two. Fun to see how much they've changed over the years. I've been wanting to build an APC in this configuration ever since Jamie built this awesomeness back in the day.
