Note, this is not a reproduction of the iconic photograph. Both the apple's coloring and orientation have been changed. I tried capturing the essence.

The coloring on the second half of the apple is unrelated. I wanted to try out different schemes, and I'm not making any other apple projects.

The third half of the apple is just a mystery to me. It does show the shape of the apple sans kablooey.

Please excuse the picture quality, if it is lacking. I obviously had to use a very fast shutter speed to capture the action. And since I did not also reproduce the professor's stroboscopic apparatus (I don't quite have enough universal joints), you can imagine I had to go through a lot of apples before getting the timing just right, manually. I'm not showing the gun used to fire the bullet because it contains non-Lego elements. ;^}

Unfortunately, I did a lot of work shaping the apple, most of which is lost, at this scale, to the shape of the bricks. I started with a sphere with plate and 1/2 stud features, elongated the bottom, and bulged or depressed it subtly here and there. I think that subtlety got washed out. I don't see how to avoid the disappointment without having a much bigger one (wipe the grin Phipson, you get nothing for spiking a perfect set). The same granularity issues apply to the coloring.

Aren't you glad you're not an apple? Except possibly the apple of your mother's eye.
