F-14 Tomcat - Build with Lego
We have seen some amazing LEGO aircrafts in the past, but this F-14 Tomcat has to be the most awesome LEGO plane to date. In fact, it's so technically complex—most parts, including cannons, swing wings, landing gears, brakes, flaps, air intake doors, are electric and pneumatically controlled—that builder Jeroen Ottens got a dream job in Denmark as a Technic designer. Looking at the list of features, we are not surprised:- Electric controlled
- Canopy
- Cannon
- Swing wings
- Landing gear
- Landing gear bay doors
- Steering of front wheel
- 2 Engines
- Pneumatic compressor
- Pneumatically controlled
- Brakes (main fuselage+wings)
- Arrester hook
- Flaps (front & aft on main wings)
- Glove vanes
- Air Intake Control System doors
- Main landing gear lock
- Manual controlled
- Vertical flaps
- Differentially controlled stabilators
- Air fuel intake nozzle
- Ejection seats

I've Been Everywhere (in Texas that is...)
Via Youtube:
Here's a video of my journey across Texas on my motorcycle set to the tune of Johnny Cash and "I've been everywhere, man". The twist is, Texas singer/songwriter Brian Burns swapped out the towns in the original song for Texas towns, cities and communities.
My journey took 25 distinct trips and I rode 10,641 miles to complete the project. Some towns such as Spring Lake (formally knows as Clabbertown) ceased to exist 100 years or more ago, and others like Mill Creek and Valley Mills were nothing but rural communities with no true city limit signs. In these instances, a post office, church or significant landmark was photographed as proof of visiting that location. Bartleville doesn't exist in the Roads of Texas, atlas, or any mapping programs and there have been lyric references to Bartonville which was secured by photograph.
I hope you enjoy the trip. Hang on, because the ride is fast.....
