La Ensign Commando, càmera britanica fabricada per Houghton-Butcher, té certes característiques curioses. Fou disenyada durant la II Guerra Mundial com a càmera per al exèrcit britanic, però el conflicte acabà quan amb prou feines s'havia començat a a fer servir. Per tant, Houghton-Butcher la adaptà al mercat civil. L'altra detall interesant és que el mètode d'enfoc no és movent la lent, sino el pla focal. Tota la pel·licula es mou endavant i endarrera contra una planxa tensora. Finalment, aquesta és una càmera de 2 formats, 6x6 i 6x4,5 cm. Però a diferencia d'altres models que necessitaven un marquet reductor extraible (que SEMPRE acaba perdut), en aquest cas el marc reductor de format està format per dues planxes giratories a banda i banda del enquadrament (com si fossin porticons).
L'objectiu és un Ensar Anastigmat f3.5 de 75mm i l'obturador un Ensign Epsilon.
Aquest exemplar en questió és la versió civil del 1946, just després de la versió militar, i és la meva segona Commando, ja que l'anterior tenia diversos problemes (era un model lleugerament posterior). Pels nº de serie de objectiu i obturador (13XX i 9XX) sembla prou inicial dins del periode de producció.
============================================
The Ensign Commando, a British camera manufactured by Houghton-Butcher, has certain unusual features. It was designed during the World War II as a military camera for the British Army, but the conflict ended when it had hardly begun to be used. Therefore, Houghton-Butcher adapted it to the civil market. The other interesting detail is that the focusing is not achieved moving the lens, but rather the focal plane. All the film moves forward and back against a tension plate. Finally, this is a 2 format camera, 6x6 and 6x4.5 cm. But unlike other models that nee a removable frame (which ALWAYS ends up lost), in this case the reducer frame is formed by two integral rotating plates on both sides (as if they were shutters).
Lens is an Ensar Anastigmat f3.5 75mm in an Ensign Epsilon leaf shutter.
This example in question is the civil version of 1946, and it's my second Commando (first one wasn't usable. It's interesing how early seems to be in the production line, as it's lens serial number is only 13XX and the shutter even less, just a 9XX. Camera serial number is a C16XX.

The Commando Memorial is a Category A listed monument in Scotland, dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces raised during World War II. Situated around a mile from Spean Bridge village, it overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle. Unveiled in 1952 by the Queen Mother, it has become one of the United Kingdom's best-known monuments, both as a war memorial and as a tourist attraction offering views of Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr.
100% Made in France neon lights, alpha male warriors, excessive violence, and bare breasts purely for free: it's the 80s with Commando Ninja, a movie that pays homage to the greatest action-type clichés with whom we grew up to become the degenerate beings steeped in pop culture that we are today.
Check out 80s retro flick "Commando Ninja" on youtube. The whole movie is on there :

Location: RAF Mildenhall, Suffolk.
Shayetet 13 is a naval special forces unit and is one of the main reconnaissance units of the Israeli Defense Forces. Trained for sea, air, and land operations, Shayetet 13 specializes in counterterrorism, sabotage, special reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, maritime hostage rescue, and boarding.
The unit has been involved in virtually all of Israel’s major wars, and its operations are highly classified. Shayetet 13 is considered one of the best special forces units in the world, comparable to the US Navy Seals.
Shayetet 13 was founded in 1949 and today is composed of around 300 personnel. Its motto is "As the bat emerges from the darkness, As the blade cuts through with silence, As the grenade smashes in rage."

Republic Commando Boss
After a long time I finished a new custom :( Please tell me what you think of it :)
Decals by AndrewVxtc
The new Arealight helmets are great so I decided to update one of my old Republic Commando figs.
The helmet shape is spot on in my view. The visor was painted on in layers from dark silver, light silver, blue wash, then light blues for the highlights and edging whilst the blue wash was still wet (blends it better).
Well, my football season ended prematurely, leading to more free time. With my ample time, I realized how distant from the hobby I was. So to make up for spare time, I did something I have always wanted to do, make my own Commando. I bought Star Wars: Republic Commando back in the summer, and I instantly fell in love with the game. This, and the release of Star Wars Battlefront II, revived the drive of wanting to dig out the tools and work with my parts. Also, I just realized that I missed my 7 year anniversary, which has also lead me on a trip down memory lane. I am more than grateful for the relationships and fun I have had on this website, and I hope that this will continue. Anyways, I'm done with the personal stuff, on to the figure.
The figure I have created is based off the basic Republic Commando from the Star Wars Universe. His name and color scheme are based off of my High School Football teams colors, maroon and white. The helmet and backpack were base commando parts from Clone Army Customs. The chest piece, knee pads, shoulder pads, and pouches are made from ProCreate. The crotch and ab pieces are cut from the Spartan Armor from BrickForge. I painted this myself with Apple Barrel and Citadel Paints.
Paodok'Draba'Takat, full name Paodok'Draba'Takat Sap'De'Rekti Nik'Linke'Ti' Ki'Vef'Nik'NeSevef'Li'Kek, but most commonly known as Pao, was a male Drabatan who served as a commando in the Alliance to Restore the Republic during the Galactic Civil War, and took part in the Battle of Scarif.Prior to the Battle of Scarif, Corporal Pao carried out a demolitions job on Foerost where he took out a communications tower similar to the one on Scarif. He was killed during the Battle of Scarif, along with the rest of Rogue One.
Another pretty good sculpt and paint job stymied by lack of articulation that makes fighting poses almost impossible. I'm not asking for much - I don't need super articulation, just a couple of elbow joints. Even swivel joints would be enough, just so that action figures can look like they're in action.
I finally finished Zondkar Commando with many varieties of weapons and equipment , worth around 10 Commando name , I took that piece that covered the front of the pelvis and I colored the head with black stripes .
A commando droid shield like the one in the "Citadel" Arc. It has another sideways handle similar to the LEGO Knights shields so the droids can also hold it with their sideways hands.

Brought a comic book character from my childhood into my collection. The comic wasn’t lengthy or very in depth, but I always loved the art style and design of the commandos.
Armor is from custombrickbuilder . Go support him while you can! Blaster is from clonearmycustoms. I used citadel and Apple barrel paints.
A.K.A Bosigran Ridge, the ridge was used to train commando soldiers in rock climbing in the years of 1940-1945.
So once I saw Gregor at first, my first reaction was to make him, but since theres not helmet available, I decided to get my buddy Andrew to do it! I must say it was an excellent choice as I love him! Andrew did some incredible decal work that I'm very pleased with!
A re-visit to the Commando Memorial in Spean Bridge - last visited in 2008
Spean Bridge Commando Memorial, Spean Bridge, Scotland
The Commando Memorial is a Category A listed monument in Scotland, dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces raised during World War II. Situated around a mile from Spean Bridge village, it overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle. Unveiled in 1952 by the Queen Mother, it has become one of Scotland's best-known monuments, both as a war memorial and as a tourist attraction offering views of Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr.
In 1949, the sculptor Scott Sutherland won a competition open to all Scottish sculptors for the commission, The Commando Memorial. Sutherland's design won first prize of £200. The base of the bronze statue is inscribed with the date of 1951. The sculpture was cast in the H.H Martyn and Company's foundry. The memorial was officially unveiled by the Queen Mother on 27 September 1952. The monument was first designated as a listed structure on 5 October 1971, and was upgraded to a Category A listing on 15 August 1996. On 18 November 1993 a further plaque was added to mark the Freedom of Lochaber being given to the Commando Association. On 27 March 2010 a 2 miles (3.2 km) war memorial path was opened connecting two local war memorials, the Commando Memorial, and the former High Bridge built by General Wade, where the first shots were fired in the Jacobite Rising of 1745 in the Highbridge Skirmish [information: Wikipedia ]
RAF Mildenhall
11-5733, Lockheed MC-130J Commando II of the 67th SOS spent the afternoon in the circuit.
Two commandos from Teroch Squad spring into action. This is just a parts mash-up, but I like the result (and no paint!). The new helmet designs from Arealight are very nice.
Under cover of darkness, a unit of British commandos prepares to disembark from an American submarine and go ashore to wreak mayhem and havoc on a part of Nazi-occupied Europe.
Why are they disembarking from an American submarine? Because it's my Lego world, and I can do that. And mostly because I couldn't come up with any good British sailor figures. I even had Winston Churchill there to observe before I figured that was just a little too overboard.
Just a small vignette to show off assorted British torsos. I will rebuild the deck gun when I get a chance.
