La crisis económica obliga hasta a las aves a desprenderse poco a poco de sus pertenencias para poder sobrevivir.
Well it was cool to film Fletch in the old C605017 (You can still see the Veolia numbers on the cab). Got a good 9 minutes of footage in 4k with the iPhone 6s+, takes AMAZING photos and video!

I did this because all the equipment involved was cheap and easy to get, but it sucked. It wasn't worth it. Here's my blog post about it.
Ram (0): Your ship’s bow tells the world that you’re tactically a madman, spatially conscious, and a little bit… dangerous.
With all of the high-tech activity on Endor it was only a matter of time before the Ewoks started getting ideas of their own.
I've also started using Instagram to upload a few little things. If you have one of those fancy iPhones, I'll see you there! I'm on there as Balakov, unsurprisingly.
This Advanced Disposal front loader pulls out of their Rolling Meadows division, which is a subsidiary of the Northbrook yard. However, it used to be considered a subsidiary of the Melrose Park division, so it hosts a unique fleet of trucks.
In an effort to replace an aging fleet, this truck hit the road late last year, replacing a Mack MR Heil.
Advanced Disposal provides curbside leaf collection in three municipalities in Lake County, Illinois. This Mack DM is seen collecting leaves in Zion on a Friday morning with a GVM8000 vacuum attached to a modified compactor.
I believe that this truck initially operated out of Advanced Disposal's hauling operation in Waunakee, Wisconsin, as that hauling site's phone number is still displayed on the cab's doors. The unit is also a hook-lift, which is not used by any Advanced shop in the Chicagoland area.
This 2004 Mack, paired with a Heil Half/Pack Front Loader, is seen tackling a commercial waste route in the Chicagoland suburbs. This combination has accounted for the bulk of Advanced's Melrose Park fleet for some time, but units such as this one are slowly being replaced and put on "Spare" duty.
The Melrose Park fleet has seen some variance in their new front load orders with primarily McNeilus units mounted on Macks, Peterbilts and Autocars.
This truck dates back to at least Veolia days, and perhaps even Onyx. The unit received an Advanced Disposal wrap/sticker upon Advanced's acquisition of Veolia's North America solid waste operations.

The blue and orange G&H originally came from Pennsylvania. Most of these trucks live on today with a fresh coat of GFL paint.

I was contacted by the Deputy Editor of Advanced Photographer, asking if I remembered our encounter 3yrs ago in Piccadilly while she was doing street candids for DSLR mag, she found the moo card I gave her and wanted to know if they could do a feature of my reflections images, needless to say I said yes and the results are now ready for anyone to buy in any good newsagents.
With a few days till the end of Legomoc's contest, I thought I'd upload my entry before it's too late. With so many clone troopers being overdone these days, I wanted to make something unique and new.
Honestly, this fig was fun to make, but a pain in the ass! Anyway, let's go over the elements:
-Helmet: custom molded from 2 action figure helmets (tie fighter pilot and clone trooper) The helmet also incorporated a TT radio as an antenna, a warhammer piece on the helmet, and several Republic customs decals. I used some shiny black testor's paint to make the visor more shiny. This is the only time I used Testor's paint, as it's too thick for my taste. The rest was painted with citadel.
-Body armor: A set of brickwarriors Gears of War RT armor, painted and decal'ed. Features hand painted Star wars droid language on shoulder straps (?). A warhammer piece is attached to the chest, giving the soldier more bulkiness. A republic customs decal was applied on the left shoulder and then painted over, to make the ACT (Advanced Combat Trooper) insignia.
-Jetpack: a retired(?) Brick Affliction jump pack, painted and decale'd. Republic customs decals are on the sides of it.
-Arms/hands: Republic customs decals cover most of the arm, with Brickforge Vambrances covering the other half. The left one even features the communication device! The hands have bits of Brickwarriors greaves.
-Body: Republic customs decals cover the body under the armor.
-Hip piece: BrickMOC Modern combat Rig hip piece
-Legs: Republic customs decals on top of brickwarriors modified greaves. Brickwarriors greaves scraps are also on the sides of the legs, which had to be sculpted on to give them more bulkiness. A TT pouch is on the left leg.
-Minigun: I knew this fig had to have a minigun, to suit his bulky build, so I found the Minigun that Republic Customs gave me long ago during his eBay days as a freebie. I;m not sure on who originally made it though.
Well that's it! Hope you guys enjoy! Hugely inspired by many of you!
The pile of extra stuff sitting behind the Shiremanstown borough building. I’m not quite sure what all these are for, the cascades have been here for years and they use them for trash at the parks when there’s large parties, but these sierras and bins just showed up this week.

A spare truck was recently on the route that serves my neighborhood so I made sure to get a photo. With the pending sale of ADS to Waste Management this may be the final time I'll get the chance to see one of these old ex-Veolia side-load units. Though I suppose WM could decide to fix them up and keep them running as well.

When packing models, it good to pack similar models together. In the unlikely event that parts do break off in transit, parts will often be interchangeable making the models much easier to reassemble. One of our club members demonstrates this technique here using his S-class diesel and steam locomotives.
