Taking a page out of Winston Churchill's book:

“I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.

At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty’s Government-every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation.

The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.

Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,

we shall fight on the seas and oceans,

we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,

we shall fight on the beaches,

we shall fight on the landing grounds,

we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,

we shall fight in the hills;

we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”

BA Commando Plate Carrier Vest (PCV)

The bars across the shoulders are stiffeners, to help keep the vest from collapsing when squeezed by eager fingers.

The back is smooth (except for the waffle-like pseudo-MOLLE depressions) to allow future backpacks to attach to the stud without collision.

Yes, the BA logo is found inside of the back stud. Of course.

I really like this gun. It captures that Star Wars theme, and exhibits it nicely.

The detail is amazing, and the asymmetry really adds to the realism of the gun. This color may be difficult to use in Star Wars themed vignettes and minifigs, but

I'm not complaining.

A very nice addition, the Lewis gun looks great in bronze. This was my first Lewis gun, and I must say that the amount of detail is amazing! A very nice gun which fits the theme perfectly. Now for the Bayonet. I like it, I don't love it. While this may be a welcome addition for pirate and military fans, I will have to work hard to find uses for it, as I am more of a sci-fi fan. I also think the bayonet would work better with the gun if it were a different color. The solid bronze doesn't make the gun feel as interesting and

unique as it could be.

This takes the cake as my favorite weapon included with the Rocket Commando. It also helps that this is my favorite gun in the Brickarms arsenal. I've managed

to get 3 of these beauties including this one. Enough gloating! The gun is a work

of art. Due to it being a blend of many rayguns from a variety of sources, this gun fits with many minifigs and scenes. The one detail that completes the utter

awesomeness that is this gun is the trigger in the trigger guard. This is, from

my knowledge, the first gun to have this, and I hope this isn't the last. It looks

amazing, and makes the raygun feel finalized.

The minifigure is top notch. The torso choice is excellent, and one of the reasons

I purchased him. The dial is a nice touch, adding to the steampunk feel. My only complaint is that the two neck pieces to hold the dial and jetpack make his head too tall to be proportionate, but this is too easily fixed for it to matter much. I'm glad the helmet is

reddish brown, as the old brown wouldn't fit the rest of the figure.

I wanted to take a shot at this because I saw Delta Squad with damaged armor so I wanted mine to look the same...

Thanks to JPO1997 for decals!

Sargent Snake is an expert in camouflage and commando infiltration and neutralization tactics. He teaches each of his men to blend into their environment. His training includes having each clone trooper paint their own armor to understand how each color allows them to further elude detection during missions.

This is one of my worst result. Because of using cambo 6x9 fujinon 150mm + overuse of tilt effect too much.

It means that I am still beginner, less experiences, and I should notice my bonehead.

The Commando Memorial in Lochaber, Scotland, is dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces raised during World War II. it overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry, Scotland, following a request from the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, for a force that could carry out raids in occupied Europe. The ranks were filled initially from volunteers from within the British Armed forces as well as foreign volunteers from occupied countries. After WWII, the Commando’s were disbanded but the modern Royal Marine Commandos, Parachute Regiment, Special Air Service, British Army commandos and the Special Boat Service trace their origins to the Commandos. Their legacy also extends to a number of mainland European and North American special forces.

"You will be superior to your more common brethren. For you are a commando, an elite unit, something truly special."
