Spot the differences ! 🔎
For 1 year now, I've been lucky enough to collaborate with the French magazine Briques Mag to create the "Spot 7 differences" game on the back page of each issue. A fun exercise that sometimes requires a lot of patience and attention to detail!
The month of November was an opportunity to re-establish a historical fact that has been kept secret by NASA for years 😊
Now it's you to play !

Since I'm under the weather, I thought I'd find my old Blacktron sets I had when I was little and rebuild them. Unfortunately, I wasn't as careful to save the instructions like I did in my later childhood, so I had to look them up. (I love the Internet and how you can find almost anything these days.) Although I'm missing some pieces, I'm still surprised how many I still have.
In case anyone is wondering the set number and name:
6851 Tri-Wheeled Tyrax
1494 Galactic Scout
6812 Grid Trekkor
Here they are with my Futuron set.
To me, I think the Blacktron II aesthetic is peak early 90s Lego Space. The black and white with neon green is the chef's kiss, IMO. It's why years later, I bought the 6887 Allied Avenger (top right corner). I also bought the Classic Space set, 6824 Space Dart I, so I could get an original Blue Spaceman, aka Benny from The Lego Movie.

🤩 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: @huehughes
Hello everyone!
It's time to direct the spotlight toward our community members, and today we will get to know better Hue Hughes!
"My name is Hue Hughes. I am a video editor and vfx artist living in coastal South Carolina.
The inspiration behind this photo is creating a practical image that had action and tension. Shooting outdoors is something I very rarely do but it is how I got started.
I begin taking my very first toy photographs in 2017. It all started when I purchased a camera and macro lens. I started shooting my sons diverse collection of robots, space ships and superheroes.
It was a short time later I found a unique connection with LEGO®. Its simplistic design, scale, detail and bright color palette of this toy lent itself very well to toy photography. So well in fact, I bought a few more lens and enough LEGO® sets to start a small toy store and never looked back.
I believe every great story has a beginning, middle and end. This same philosophy also holds true for a good photograph.
The image must tell a compelling story that catches the viewers attention and resonates some form of a response - a memory, excitement, joy or just a simple thought from your childhood.
Every image of mine is a window into another world and it’s that window we gaze upon to find a great toy story. Whether it’s throwing baking powder to simulate a winter blizzard on a mountainside or a fire cracker that showers a scene with sparks to mimic an explosion, I like creating all of my effects in camera and practically.
I build my own sets and create my own effects by hand using common household materials and old filmmaking techniques. This style of artisan photography adds an element of realism, personality and craftsmanship to a photo which forms a tighter bond between the viewer and the image.
I am a stronger believer that gear does not make a great shot. It helps but as an artist your equipment should help you achieve your style.
My camera is a Canon 7d. I pair this body with either a EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 or EF 85mm f/1.8 usm.
A single Litepanels Caliber Fresnel is my go-to for lighting. The final element is a fog machine that when combined with the Fresnel creates rich, dreamy photography."
Thank you for accepting our invitation and let the community knows you better!

At the beginning of September, I'm sorting through my photos… And it's a good opportunity to come back to old images and imagine what we'd do with them today… And sometimes take a chance, as in this picture!
I never really liked the initial rendering: the image wasn't transporting enough, the futuristic ice planet atmosphere didn't work, and in the end, this superb set (exosuit) wasn't well showcased. I went back to the raw image to try and give it another chance.
Here is the original version :

Classic Space CATT-2 Rover (Febrovery 2024)
The CATT (Configurable All-Terrain Truck) is a modular space vehicle designed for easily changing attachments and features for different capabilities. This configuration includes a front winch, top lighting and sensors, and a rear 6x6 cargo area with a lift gate.
I also have a longer four-seat variant (CATT-4) awaiting photos, and several ideas for other cargo/utility configurations.
