I built two other Star Trek style ships and then decided to go for broke with a bigger, less conventional, more dramatic and all out bad-ass design. There was a lot of engineering involved to work out the internal framework of technic that holds up the saucer and the huge angled wings, plus I had to balance the warp nacelles so they don't droop. I also went nutty with the LEDs lighting up just about everything that could be lit and 3D printed some special pieces for the photon torpedo launchers. Really pleased with the colour scheme and the overall appearance which is really rooted in the Star Trek aesthetic but spun out in a cool new direction.
A team working on NASA’s Psyche spacecraft transitioned it from a vertical to a horizontal test configuration during prelaunch processing inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 9, 2022. The mission is targeting an Aug. 1 launch atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy. The spacecraft will use solar-electric propulsion to travel approximately 1.5 billion miles to rendezvous with its namesake asteroid in 2026. The Psyche mission is led by Arizona State University. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed for the agency by Caltech in Pasadena, California, is responsible for the mission’s overall management, system engineering, integration and testing, and mission operations. Maxar Technologies in Palo Alto, California, provided the high-power solar electric propulsion spacecraft chassis. NASA’s Launch Services Program (LSP), based at Kennedy, is managing the launch.

Following the Civil War, the cotton industry industrialized and grew considerably in Waco, Texas. The construction of the Waco Suspension Bridge and arrival of the Waco Tap Railroad in 1870 increased the number of people and goods entering and departing the city. Waco’s cotton market boomed, and by 1885, the city became known as the largest inland cotton market in Texas. When a second railroad connection arrived, it was named the Cotton Belt Route in honor of the large market to which it primarily catered. The Cotton Belt-Brazos River Railroad Bridge itself is of historical and architectural interest, being the second structure to span the Brazos after the 1870 Suspension Bridge. The St. Louis Southwestern Railway of Texas built the steel truss bridge in 1881 as it continued its expansion from Tyler to Corsicana to Waco to McGregor, according to the “Handbook of Waco-McLennan County History, Texas”.
This steel-truss bridge was the leading bridge design in Texas from 1880 to 1930. Constructed of a noteworthy pin-connected, multi-span structure displaying the Parker configuration that consists of 3 seven panel main truss spans and plate girder approaches. It was built as the Texas & St. Louis Railway, which reached Waco in 1881. The line, later known as the Cotton Belt or St. Louis and Southwestern Railroad, ran from Bird’s Point, Missouri, to Gatesville. The Waco Daily Times-Herald reported on June 5, 1907, that the new Cotton Belt Bridge was dedicated that morning to great fanfare, including a performance by the Baylor band at the Cotton Belt station at Third Street and Mary Avenue. The railway, also known as the Cotton Belt, had a depot on South Third Street until it was destroyed in the 1953 tornado. The railroad, which was part of the Southern Pacific system, ceased operations in the Waco area in the mid-1980's, leaving the bridge to sit vacant.
There have been plans in recent years to convert the abandoned railroad bridge to a pedestrian walking bridge but these have not panned out as of 2024.

Soldier Configuration - 2Rd / 2Rh / 2W
Imbrium Lunokhod Industries Model VS-M/S-71 'Degei' - The next evolution of the Imbrium Lunokhod Industries Frame System, the Degei takes the lessons learned during the development of the VS-A-GR5K 'Krivlyaka' and applies the well loved stylings that made the VS-MX-04 'Rangi' and the VS-M/A-Z9A 'Muku' such a success. The Degei is a versatile assault frame perfect for space-based interdiction and other zero-g tactical operations.
From a design perspective, the frame fits perfectly into the 7P scale and aligns with the desired aesthetic. Unfortunately, the thigh joints that worked so well on the Krivlyaka were very fragile when paired with a stiff ankle joint. Additionally, the design of the shoulder joint didn’t add enough range of motion to justify the parts usage. Finally, the hip/waist connection was too loose, even with a friction pin which made it difficult to find stable footing.
If I was going to revise this build, I think I would start with the ankles. A looser and more scale-conventional joint (using a pneuma-T or tap) would probably work better in the long run.

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a British breed of toy dog of spaniel type. Four colours are recognised: Blenheim (chestnut and white), tricolour (black/white/tan), black and tan, and ruby; the coat is smooth and silky.[2] The lifespan is usually between eight and twelve years.[1]
The Cavalier King Charles changed dramatically in the late seventeenth century, when it was inter-bred with flat-nosed breeds. Until the 1920s, it shared the same history as the smaller King Charles Spaniel. Breeders attempted to recreate what they considered to be the original configuration – a dog resembling Charles II's spaniel of the English Civil War period, when supporters of the king were known as Cavaliers.[3][4]
History
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel; lesser stop; skull not inclined to be domed with spot in centre of skull on the Blenheim. A white blaze between the eyes is standard of the Tricolour variety.
Correct Ruby Cavalier King Charles Spaniel; uniform chestnut colour, with no white markings; ears and slippers are often slightly lighter but dark chestnut colour should predominate
During the early part of the 18th century, John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, kept red and white King Charles type spaniels for hunting. The duke recorded that they were able to keep up with a trotting horse. His estate was named Blenheim in honour of his victory at the Battle of Blenheim. Because of this influence, the red and white variety of the King Charles Spaniel and thus the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel became known as the Blenheim.[5]
Attempts were made to recreate the original Cavalier King Charles Spaniel as early as the turn of the 20th century, using the now extinct Toy Trawler Spaniels. These attempts were documented by Judith Blunt-Lytton, 16th Baroness Wentworth, in the book "Toy Dogs and Their Ancestors Including the History And Management of Toy Spaniels, Pekingese, Japanese and Pomeranians" published under the name of the "Hon. Mrs Neville Lytton" in 1911.[6]
Divergence from King Charles Spaniel
In 1926, the American Roswell Eldridge offered a dog show class prize of 25 pounds of sterling silver each as a prize for the best male and females of "Blenheim Spaniels of the old type, as shown in pictures of Charles II of England's time, long face, no stop, flat skull, not inclined to be domed, with spot in centre of skull."[7] The breeders of the era were appalled, although several entered what they considered to be sub-par Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in the competition. Eldridge died before seeing his plan come to fruition, but several breeders believed in what he said and in 1928 the first Cavalier club was formed.[7] The first standard was created, based on a dog named "Ann's Son" owned by Mostyn Walker,[8] and the Kennel Club recognised the variety as "King Charles Spaniels, Cavalier type".[7]
The Second World War caused a drastic setback to the emerging breed, with the vast majority of breeding stock destroyed because of wartime hardship and food shortages. For instance, in the Ttiweh Cavalier Kennel, the population of 60 dogs dropped to three during the 1940s.[9] Following the war, few dogs survived as the new beginning from which all present-day Cavaliers descend. And in 1945,[10] the Kennel Club first recognised the breed in its own right as the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.[7]
The first recorded Cavalier living in the United States was brought from the United Kingdom in 1956 by W. Lyon Brown who, together with Elizabeth Spalding and other enthusiasts, founded the Cavalier King Charles Club USA that continues to the present day. In 1994, the American Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club was created by a group of breeders to apply for recognition by the American Kennel Club. It was recognised by the American Kennel Club in 1995,[2] and the ACKCSC became the parent club for Cavaliers.[11] Since 2000, it has grown in popularity in the United States and ranks as the 15th most popular pure-breed in the United States.[12]
Description
"The purebred Black and Tan uniform."
A purebred Black and Tan uniform.
Historically the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was a lap dog and is small for a spaniel, with fully grown adults comparable in size to adolescents of other larger spaniel breeds. The tail is usually not docked,[13] and the Cavalier should have a silky coat of moderate length. Standards state that it should be free from curl, although a slight wave is allowed. Feathering can grow on their ears, feet, legs and tail in adulthood. Standards require this be kept long, with the feathering on the feet a particularly important aspect of the breed's features.[13]
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the English Toy Spaniel can often be confused with each other. In the United Kingdom, the English Toy Spaniel is called the King Charles Spaniel, while in the United States, one of the colours of the Toy Spaniel is known as King Charles. The two breeds share similar history and only diverged from each other about 100 years ago.[citation needed] There are several major differences between the two breeds, with the primary difference being size. While the Cavalier weighs on average between 13 and 18 pounds (5.9 and 8.2 kg), the King Charles is smaller at 9 to 15 pounds (4.1 to 6.8 kg). In addition, their facial features, while similar, are different; the Cavalier's ears are set higher and its skull is flat, while the King Charles's skull is domed. Finally, the muzzle length of the Cavalier tends to be longer than that of its King Charles cousin.[7][14]
Colour
"Two dogs with long ears sit on a wooden platform overlooking the sea. They are mostly white, but have black ears and black and brown markings on their faces. Their fur is ruffled by the breeze."
Tricolour Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Blenheim variety, with chestnut brown markings on a white background on its back, patches over eyes and all brown ears
The breed has four recognized colours. Cavaliers that have rich chestnut markings on a pearly white background are known as Blenheim in honor of Blenheim Palace, where John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough raised for assistance in hunting the predecessors to the Cavalier breed in this particular colour. In some Blenheim dogs there is a chestnut spot in the middle of the forehead: this is called the "Blenheim" spot.[15] The Blenheim spot is also known as the mark of the "Duchess Thumb Print", based on the legend that Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough while awaiting news of her husband's safe return from the Battle of Blenheim, pressed the head of an expecting dam with her thumb, resulting in five puppies bearing the lucky mark after news that the battle had been won.[16]
Black and Tan are dogs with black bodies with tan highlights, particularly eyebrows, cheeks, legs and beneath the tail.[17] Black and Tan is referred to as "King Charles" in the King Charles Spaniel.[7] Wikipedia

So here's the SS configuration, it's basiclly the same as BvS except it doesn't have the turret on,
So if you're into more non-tank looking batmobiles this is the combo for you !
Interested ? go here to get yours ! :http://www.ebay.com/itm/222512661420?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649
Here's the BvS configuration, and by far my favorite i think Patrick Tatopoulos and his team did a great job with the design so it was very important for me to get it right this time.
Fun fact: this was the first variant i did, i just modded it to change the look to how it appears on JL & SS.

The ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover is seen here sitting on top of the Kazachok surface science platform in stowed configuration, rather similar to how it will journey to Mars in 2022.
The duo were mated in a dedicated clean room at Thales Alenia Space (TAS), Cannes, together forming the so-called ‘landing module’. The latest round of tests include electrical, power and data transfer checks between the two elements.
The landing module will later be integrated inside the descent module for mass balancing checks, together with the carrier module that will transport the mission to Mars.
This is not the last time the two flight models will be mated. After completion of the tests in Cannes, the rover will return to the TAS cleanrooms in Turin, Italy, for further functional testing, before being shipped to the launch site in Baikonur.
In this image, the back right solar panel of the landing platform is seen partially deployed. The front of the rover is seen, with its iconic drill stowed in horizontal position. A first in Mars exploration, the drill will extract samples down to a maximum of two metres, where ancient biomarkers may still be preserved from the harsh radiation on the surface, and deliver them to the rover’s sophisticated laboratory for analysis.
The mission is targeting a September 2022 launch window, landing on Mars in June 2023. Its goal is to determine the geological history of the landing site at Oxia Planum, once thought to host an ancient ocean, and to determine if life could ever have existed on Mars.
The ExoMars programme is a joint endeavour between ESA and the Russian State Space Corporation, Roscosmos.
The integration activities at Cannes were carried out by Thales Alenia Space and Airbus Defence and Space teams.

Every year I do a family photo for our Christmas cards. I intended to do something much more elaborate and interesting this year, and failed miserably. So, I was stuck with this rather conventional shot...
Note that the EXIF is misleading. This was shot with a pair of off camera flashes, second curtain, into umbrellas in a clamshell configuration and triggered with Pocketwizards.
I cannot believe this of all my recent photos has made Explore. Ridiculous. LOL.

Looking down on displays from a balcony at the museum.
The Sibley Park is one of a batch of eighteen cars named after various Canadian national or provincial parks, of which some are still operating. The Park cars are streamlined passenger vehicles made of stainless steel having a double function: they are at the same time sleeping-cars and panoramic observation dome-cars. Each one of the “Park” cars offers a similar configuration: a triple occupancy room, three double occupancy rooms, twenty-four seats in the dome, a shared bathroom, a bar and a panoramic lounge room in the rear. Before its passenger train acquisition by VIA Rail in 1978, the Canadian Pacific Railway used them between 1954 and 1978.
Eighteen Canadian artists, some from the Group of Seven were responsible for painting appropriate frescoes in each car with the aim of capturing the essence of each park of which the cars bear the names. Yvonne McKague Housser, the only women painter working on this project and one of the founding members of the Canadian Group of Painters was chosen to decorate the Sibley Park car.
All the information used with the pictures was taken from information at the Canadian Railway Museum Site.

Hi guys, I didn't post stuff for months so decided to show this build - a Mi-24 Hind in a rare configuration, with twin-barrelled autocannon and modernised scopes under the nose together with old, long wings.
Basic structure of the model isn't new, I made a Hind years ago and posted it on Flickr, but recently decided to rebuild it with slight changes. I think it came out okay except for few parts. Model took me forever to make, as I was constantly losing interest in it and finding it again, and I could have taken pictures a few weeks ago already. I am sorry for lack of proper paintjob on the bird, decided to leave it as it is because I know it would take me months to actually finish the camo and I would be even more fed up with this build then. Also, thanks to @nbm_lego and @dariobricks on Instagram for the cockpit idea, my previous iteration used brick built one. I might change it up again in the future, but I kinda like the current look. Enjoy!
Also, the photos are meh and don't do the model justice - I am lazy and also don't have a good setup for taking pictures
Seen here in her original configuration, painted in the light grey standard on Carolinian ships during the late 1930s. CSS Brandywine, first of the class, was launched in 1932, with CSS Shelby to follow as third in the class a year later. 1935 would mark the end of the United Carolinian States, the continent splitting up into various rump governments - and so it was that the Specific Fleet was split between the fledgling Republic of Jefferson and the Western Defense Command, a territory under the remains of the Federal High Command. All ten of the Brandywines obtained (and later built) by the Federal Navy underwent extensive refits in 1940.
Federal forces invaded Jefferson in 1942 (marking the start of General Chaffee's campaign to reunify the continent), and it was at the outbreak that the first and only major naval battle of the war would be fought, in the Belfaunt Strait between Merriweather Island and the mainland. Five Brandywines - including CSS Shelby - were sunk at the battle, but they took with them to the bottom eight of the Jeffersonian Quincy-class cruisers, which were the ships the Brandywines were designed to complement and eventually replace as fleet scouts. While the operational goal of landing a force of marines on Merriweather Island had failed, the Federal Navy nonetheless achieved a strategic victory, bottling the Jeffersonian fleet (including the now-crippled battleship JWS Yreka) upriver in Yreka for the rest of the war and buying time for four new Federal superdreadnoughts - the Currituck-class - to finally cast off their mooring lines a week later.
Federal forces would achieve victory after the Siege of Yreka a month after the war began. This opening move of the Reunification was to be the last to see naval combat, as one by one the other rump states of the continent fell to Federal armored brigades and strategic bombing squadrons. With the Reunification complete by 1944 and the Arcadian Commonwealth declared, the few remaining Brandywine-class cruisers were mothballed and later scrapped.
One of the 8" guns from CSS Woebegone may be seen mounted on a pedestal outside Whipple Hall at the Arcadian Naval Academy.

My entry for the Assemble the Fleet Competition. This version of the Nebulon-B Escort Frigate is inspired by EC Henry’s design as seen on his YouTube Channel.
Length: 32 studs
Backstory:
The Nebulon-B Escort Frigate Sentinel was originally built for the Galactic Empire by Kuat Drive Yards prior to the outbreak of the Galactic Civil War. The Sentinel was deployed for system patrol duty and avoided being mothballed and scavenged for parts by KDY technicians for their ongoing construction of Imperial Star Destroyers. Unlike its contemporaries who were liberated and saw service with the Rebel Alliance, the Sentinel retained its original Imperial configuration.
With the collapse of the Empire, the ship was utilized by the Remidian System Defense Force for anti-pirate operations during the years of the New Republic. It was one of the many ships to answer the call for help from Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca aboard the Millennium Falcon. While outdated, the Sentinel still had functional turbo-laser emplacements, military-grade shield generators, and a reduced complement of obsolete TIE/LN starfighters aboard and made a welcome addition to the fleet that opposed the resurrected Emperor Palpatine’s Sith Eternal fleet above the planet Exegol in the Unknown Regions.
yikes I sized this up and lost about half of it off screen... so we'll call this done.
You kids and your shipbucket are making it hard to keep up in PMG, but here we go :P Also I used paint to stick these two babies together.
The Cutter Variable Sweep Wing Fighter is an attempt by the Empire to provide a heavily armed fighter that is fast enough to intercept bombers but manoeuvrable enough to excel at dogfighting. The variable sweep configuration offers this versatility, meaning that the Cutter can be used as both an interceptor and an air superiority fighter.
The Cutter is equipped with 2 30mm autocannons, and has 10 hardpoints with a capacity of 6,600 kg of ordnance and fuel tanks
I will probably be fielding the Cutter in late 60's or early 70's, and by the 90's I'll be adding a ground attack upgrade just like the F-14 got.

Same configuration, Sony A7 (M1) & Metabones + Canon 24-105 f4L IS USM.
Today in Eindhoven. This lens always has been one of my favorites. I used it with my Canon 5D M1 many years and it always delivered great images.
Now it serves with the Metabones adapter on my Sony A7 travel and fun camera, with amazing results.
