MC Hercules CAN actually touch this. Not really a common bird in these parts, the MC-130J is the latest in a long line of special operations MC-series Hercs, and was in town to support a large-scale evacuation exercise of the local US embassy. Of particular note are the underwing stores: fuel tanks inboard, with a capacity of 5,300 liters each (slightly less than the total fuel capacity of the Q400) - and air-to-air refueling pods outboard, in this case used by two HH-60G helicopters that made up the core of the exercise.

'Some highly decorated soldiers in the Red Army who've suffered debilitating mutilation can end up awakening to find themselves interred in robotic shells. Prosthetic Commandos are primarily used as bodyguards for dignitaries and in perimeter defense at missile silos located near the border or in high risk locales. They're a particularly favoured ceremonial figurehead in the Warsaw Pact's elaborate military parades. '

This is my Lego version of Keith Thompson's awesome 'Prosthetic Commando', my favourite drawing from his collection. See the original one here.

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.

Fancied some drybrushing and it came out pretty well! Sadly, the pic begs to differ :( Also because of this pic (www.flickr.com/photos/kalcustoms/8946680812/) so this is kind of for you, KalSkirata ;)
Comments and favourites are always much appreciated ;)
Enjoy!

I never wish such a result.
What is wrong point? tell me whatever you think.
THE COMMANDO MEMORIAL - The Memorial commands wonderful views of Ben Nevis, the Grey Corries and the western end of the Great Glen. It was unveiled in 1952 by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and commemorates the elite soldiers of the Commandos who died during the Second World War. Achnacarry, six miles from Spean Bridge, was the Commandos' Basic Training Centre from 1942. Over 25,000 men were trained here and in the surrounding area including British, American, French, Belgian, Norwegian, Polish, German (Jewish) and Dutch troops. With Ben Nevis only an 18 mile run from Achnacarry, reaching the summit was just one of the challenges for a day's training! Many veteran Commandos make the annual pilgrimage to attend the Service of Remembrance and Wreath Laying held at the Memorial in November. At any time, this moving tribute offers a rewarding visit, and spectacular photos are often available, especially at sunset.

Took me a little over an hour to paint all those tally marks on the helmet.

Never forget to check the ceiling when clearing a room. A rookie mistake this Cobra Trooper won’t make a second time.
I was playing Republic Commando this morning and realized that the Gunship Doors in RC are infinitely cooler than the ones in the movies.
I'm still working out the kinks, but this is more or less what I'm going for.
A Rebel Commando is a Rebel Trooper trained for special forces operations. Rebel Commandos fought in the Battle of Endor. As well trained soldiers, Rebel Commandos were often used for scouting and demolition missions. The commandos on Endor were a special 12-man team with members from all seven Regiments of the Alliance Special Forces, they helped out Princess Leia, Chewbacca and Han Solo blow up the shield generator to the Death Star II.
Robert's Norton 850 Commando At Bushy Park on 1 July 2013. This is a medium format version of an image I did with a 35mm Contaflex SLR at the same time, which you can find here: www.flickr.com/photos/43224475@N08/37206848154/in/datetaken/
Apart from the obvious comparisons between the formats, the point that struck me comparing both, was how a similar camera location in the same setting shooting the same subject looks somewhat different, due to the viewfinders used on each camera and the resulting height difference.

An incredible figure, made by the Red Laser.

The Commando Monument at Spean Bridge. I've been visiting this since 1956 at that time it was just a monument at a road junction with a small area at the side of the road where you could pull off park and visit with just room for a couple of cars. Now there is a large parking area for cars and coaches a memorial garden and it has so many visitors that you have to be very lucky to get a photograph or even view it without lots of people milling around it. In many ways I prefer it as it was with the three commandos looking across to the hills in which they trained in a lonely quite spot, but progress is progress and at east lots of people now get to remember them and see their monument.

I loved that 1973 Jeep Commando with the 304 cu. inch engine. I learned how to work on cars because it broke down so much.
I wrote about this pic on my blog at www.imakethings.com/2007/03/30/1973-jeep-commando/
Small teams of Royal Marines are conducting discreet Reconnaissance exercises in freezing conditions deep inside the Arctic Circle.
A small team from the Surveillance Reconnaissance Squadron of 30 Commando Information Exploitation Group landed in small inflatable boats to conduct a technical reconnaissance mission on the shores of an Arctic fjord.
The Squadron’s Shore Reconnaissance Team carried out a survey of the area, studying the surroundings to establish a beachhead for amphibious forces to crash ashore and attack enemy positions.
This essential training ensures the specialist team are razor sharp for operations, no matter how extreme the environment.
Their role is to ensure that amphibious forces are able to access coastlines, establishing the best points of access and feeding back vital information on the terrain.

He's actually starting to fall here. Although it kind of looks like he's got a paw on the wall, this shot started as one of a cat's stomach protruding through a missing ceiling tile. The tile gave way as the flash went off, and voila!
The crabapple tree training really paid off and he pulled himself back using nothing but his hind legs. He recovered his balance and backed up inside the ceiling again where he continued to knock out the tiles.
I love my cat.
