Lego TtV contraption 2.0 - a photo on Flickriver

Lego TtV contraption 2.0

            I was a little unhappy with the previous version of this because I had to switch to blue blocks at the top, and it looked like a big plastic bruise. Here I've gone with a classic art deco kind of look: it could be the strangest cocktail shaker ever. 

I jammed in a couple of folded bits of paper to keep the Duaflex snugly in place (and lined up -- no more endlessly rotating my pictures by tenths of a degree in Photoshop!) and made the whole contraption a bit taller for better focusing. Because I had to go all the way down to the level of the lens to remove that fun, ultimately ridiculous bubble hood I had there before (it kept falling off), I was able to put in some stripes and give it that vintage bakelite look. Also, I dug up enough smooth "veneer" white legos to cover the top. Next up is red, but that will mean disassembling my monitor stand . . .
