![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The art of masonry or laying bricks to build walls has been around since ancient times. The reason of course, is that it is a lot easier with LEGO to simply stack bricks, than it is to try to mimic the actual internal structure of a real skyscraper. My LEGO models of skyscrapers however, are built very much like conventional masonry structures with walls created by stacking bricks. These exterior walls make up the façade of the building but don’t actually support any weight. Instead, they have a steel framework to which “ curtain walls” made of brick, stone or glass are attached. What separates modern skyscrapers from the tall buildings that preceded them is the fact that, unlike masonry-built tall buildings, skyscrapers don’t have load-bearing walls. In fact, the scale I pick is usually the smallest one that would allow me to accurately represent the floor count and the window count of the original building (a scale that usually ends up being around 1/200). I try to find the sweet spot with my skyscraper models-a scale that is somewhere between the small scale used in the LEGO Architecture series and the huge scale used for the models you would find in a LEGOLAND Miniland. On the other hand, using too small of a scale can force you to compromise on accuracy (probably more than you would find acceptable). But too large of a scale can also result in a massive, unwieldy model with a prohibitively high piece count and cost. The bigger the scale, the more accurately you can represent all the elements of the original building in your LEGO model. Of course there is a trade-off involved here. well, let me not get too carried away here!Īs far as I am concerned, picking the right scale is the most important decision you need to make when you are designing a LEGO model of a real building. Armed with a good understanding of scale and proportion that my training as an engineer had provided, I set to work designing my first-ever MOC: a model of the Empire State Building. The best part of course, was that we could use the same LEGO pieces that my daughter had been playing with-but we would need many more of them. And as awe-inspiring as this model was, it also looked like something that would not be too difficult for my daughter and I to build (and hopefully we could put our own unique spin on it!). ![]() Something about this model appealed to my lifelong fascination with skyscrapers. One model that really grabbed my attention was a model of the Empire State Building built by Sean Kenney. An innocent query from my daughter about building a “really tall” building out of LEGO prompted a Google search that led me to stumble upon the world of AFOLs and all the amazing MOCs out there that have been built out of LEGO. In my case, I was completely in the dark about LEGO (having never played with it as a child) until I discovered it as a 40-something dad to a then six-year-old who had just started playing with LEGO. Many AFOLs talk about a “dark age” that they emerged from to rediscover their childhood passion for LEGO. It took a few more weeks to figure out how to capture the Cathedral of Learning at such a small scale.My name is Deep Shen and my journey to AFOLdom has been a little unusual. Ultimately, I finished a satisfactory prototype of US Steel Tower which felt like an appropriate height for a skyline model. The two buildings that dictated the scale of the set were US Steel Tower due to the technical complexity of the triangular shape, and The Cathedral of Learning due to the complexity of the many stair-stepped setbacks as you get closer to the top. While I quickly settled on this set of buildings, I also did some early sketches of a few buildings that were not included in the final design.īuilding sketch models is important in identifying the most difficult details to re-create using LEGO, and identify when complex building techniques will be required. In the meantime, here’s a short answer:įor this model, I created many “sketch models” for various buildings I wanted to include in the model. I am working on a follow-up article which will explore topics like establishing the scale for your model, selecting which landmarks to include, and related topics. ![]()

![]() It is believed that tortoiseshell cats have a bad attitude. Tortoiseshell cat personality – Tortitude You may well find a calico and a tortoiseshell in the same litter. ![]() Calico, like tortoiseshell, is the name of a coat pattern rather than breed. While the genetics that make the tortoiseshell pattern are much like the ones to make the calico pattern, the calico carries the white spotting allele.Ī tortie will have little to no white in her fur pattern. While all tortoiseshell cats are calico, not all calicos are tortoiseshells. A tortie with lighter, almost pastel colors like cream, lilac or cinnamon is known as a dilute tortoiseshell. Cats with that last coloring in them are known as torbies. The darker parts can be black, chocolate brown, grey blue or even a tabby pattern. The red patches can also be cream, orange or yellow. Because this is carried on the X chromosome, chances are very good your tortie is a girl. The gene for dark colors (brown, black, cinnamon, etc.) can often be masked by the co-dominant gene that makes the orange color. Just as genetics will determine whether you have a short haired or long haired cat, genetics determine the color pattern of the fur as well. It is a unique genetic structure that makes a tortie a tortie. This pattern is simply called calico in the United States and Canada. In the UK they are known as tortoiseshell-and-white. The ones that are mostly white and have tortoiseshell patches are known as tricolor. “Tortoiseshell” is usually reserved for multicolored cats that have rather small or no white markings. Even the paw pads might have some spotting. ![]() If you still want something beautiful, mottled and warm, why not get a tortoiseshell cat? What is a tortoiseshell cat?Ī tortoiseshell cat, also known as a tortie, is a cat born with a fur pattern resembling the mottled red and black tortoiseshell material. Let's keep the shell on the tortoise (turtle, whatever) where it belongs. Today, it is illegal to import or export tortoiseshell products or harm a hawksbill sea turtle in any way. This came as great relief to the still critically endangered hawksbill sea turtle, where this material was coming from. ![]() Then, environmentalism became a thing and it was no longer in vogue to kill animals for decorations. The mottled black and dark reds were beautiful and it had an oddly warm texture. Prior to the 1970's, tortoiseshell was a popular material for eyeglasses, jewelry, combs and furniture inlays. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Once I figured out how to use Pyinstaller (after remembering how to set a PATH variable in Windows), then I just have to drop the portable EXE file into a nice, out of the way place in Windows (might as well put it in a folder in C:) and make sure that folder is added to the PATH variable. Of course, it took me a little bit to deconstruct the program (as well as re-learn Python, which I hadn't really used in any significant capacity for half a decade at least), but now I have it working exactly how I want it to work, and it feels right! Of course, I had never used Python on Windows before, either, so wrapping my head around PowerShell has been enlightening as well (Yes, I'm late to the PowerShell party, so I'm making up for it). To do this, I simply altered the section to only look for serial ports and moved the connection settings to a series of prompts in the main function. ![]() So, I want to be able to just click on a new tab and get that full retro terminal feel without needing to pretend I'm even in Windows! What I need to do is alter the program just a smidge so that instead of looking for flags in the command-line structure (ie -b for setting baud rate), the program will just ask me what settings I want to use (including some defaults for simplicity). I can fire up Windows Terminal, invoke the command in PowerShell, and I'm good to go!īut this is Windows Terminal, and I have this lovely menu of drop-down presets that will automatically spawn the environment of my choice with some lovely aesthetic theming. This little gem was exactly what I was looking for in terms of functionality! It automatically connects to the COM port (or drops a list of available ports) and connects using some default settings for baud rate, stopbit, and parity. It's a simple serial terminal written in Python that can be compiled as a self-contained exe. I mean, it works, but I really just felt it inefficient to have to fire up Debian (the install is smaller than Ubuntu) just so I could use Minicom.Īfter a little more digging, I found Makerdiary's Terminal-S. If I wanted to use those tools, I would either need to change the WSL version every time I wanted to use the serial port or install another instance of Linux under WSL 1. Now, since I have Ubuntu installed, I could just install Screen or Minicom and call it a day, but WSL 2 does not support serial communication. The problem is that, since the removal of HyperTerminal in Windows Vista, Windows has not included a CLI solution for serial communication (which is kinda weird because Telnet is still buried in Windows 11 if the reasoning was because obsolescence, you'd think that Telnet would also get the axe). In other words, I didn't want to have to resort to using a separate GUI like PuTTY when a command-line tool like Screen or Minicom would do just fine. However, because much of my command line work falls into communicating with an external device over serial, I wanted to be able to keep that workflow within Windows Terminal like I'm used to doing already. Since switching to Windows 11, I have fallen in love with Windows Terminal-the built-from-the-ground-up terminal emulator for Windows that combines everything that I loved about Linux and MacOS with the functionality of tabbed windows and a serious dose of customization. ![]() ![]() ![]()

This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This empirical approach, which involved modifying the geometry of an existing airfoil, culminated in the development of the four- and five-digit-series airfoils in the mid 1930’s (Refs. This series was significant because it represented a systematic approach to airfoil development as opposed to earlier, random, cut-and-try approaches. Munk, was tested in the Langley Variable-Density Tunnel (Ref. The first series of airfoils, designated “M sections” for Max M. Shortly thereafter, the development of airfoils by the NACA was initiated at the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory (Ref. By 1920, the Committee had published a compendium of experimental results from various sources (Ref. In its first Annual Report to the Congress of the United States, the NACA called for “the evolution of more efficient wing sections of practical form, embodying suitable dimensions for an economical structure, with moderate travel of the center of pressure and still affording a large range of angle of attack combined with efficient action” (Ref.
