My countrymen died brave deaths, aside our king. The Hoards from the East came and surrounded our stalwart walls, battering them unmercifully. At last, they scaled and breached our defences, striking down the valiant defenders. Few escaped that day; I was one. Now I go to beg the armies of the West to aid their brothers. Perhaps then my lack of courage on the walls will be forgotten, and I shall be counted as a hero.

Just a quick WIP for a future build.
"If you don't know how to die, don't worry; Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you; don't bother your head about it." ~ Michel de Montaigne
Since Iron Fist was released today, I whipped this up for you guys.
Yes I know that is not the right hair for Jessica, and right head for Luke Cage.
If I post accurately, this seagull and the squirrel will sit side-by-side and tell the story of what was happening when I got these shots.
I had taken the camera down to the lakeshore at Jack Darling Park along with a couple of loaves of bread just to see if I could get some seagull photos with a new lens. It's always fun to rile them up a bit with crusts of bread and start shooting the action.
There was the usual scramble as the gulls shrieked at one another and fought for first position in the breadline but this particular bird got my attention because she appeared to be getting really aggressive and it was toward me. Talk about 'biting the hand that feeds you'!
The verbal assault continued and I then realized her anger wasn't directed at me but at what was behind me: a wily squirrel who had found his way into the bag I'd brought with me to the beach---the bag with the loaves of bread and this seagull was defending the food supply.

Ants
“ Defend the colony !”
Feeling threatened by me, the soldiers in the colony get into fighting position ......... mandible wide open, ready to strike with their jaw and chemical weapon. Ants attack and defend themselves by biting and, in many species, by stinging, often injecting or spraying chemicals like formic acid. Some Malaysian ant species has enlarged mandibular glands that extend into their gaster, when disturbed, the ants rupture the membrane of the gaster, causing a burst of secretions containing acetophenones and other chemicals that can immobilise small insect attackers. That particular ant will subsequently dies.
HMS Defender is the fifth of the Type 45 or Daring-class air-defence destroyers built for the Royal Navy. She is the eighth ship to bear the name. Construction of Defender began in 2006, and she was launched in 2009. She is seen here entering the Clyde for a short stop at Her Majesty's Naval Base Faslane in Scotland.
The best thing about micro's is they don't take long to build! I liking this one a lot more than my last one! My second entry for LoB Micro Castle Contest.

Working in the desolate lands of Nam Chorios, Odge spent many hours on his project. His distance from civilization allowed him the focus needed to work on his ship.
However, this remoteness brought added danger. Small bands of mutated droch roam the sands looking for human technology. A few times Odge has had to cease work to fight off these band, losing precious time and materials as a result.
This view looks at two representative cannons on the bastion of Calshot Castle. The castle is one of Henry VIII's device forts, built on Calshot Spit near Fawley to guard the entrance to Southampton Water. In the first phase of Henry’s fortification programme, 30 castles or forts were built. A curvilinear form of fortification was developed which consisted of squat artillery towers surrounded by round bastions to provide platforms for artillery. Good examples of these are Walmer Castle and Deal Castle in Kent, Calshot Castle and Hurst Castle in Hampshire and St Mawes Castle in Cornwall.
Also known as a Henrician Castle, Calshot was built as a circular blockhouse with a three-storey central keep in 1540 using stone from Beaulieu Abbey. The outer walls were lowered in 1774 and the gatehouse was rebuilt in order to provide more living space. The south-east battery was added in 1895 but has since been demolished. Due to its strategic location, the castle was kept fully operational and an artillery garrison stationed there right up to the middle of the 20th century. Although deemed an isolated outpost for the garrison’s crew and their families, the surrounding beaches and inlets were an ideal place for smugglers to land their small ships.
Between WWI and WWII, the castle was closely associated with the Schneider Trophy air races, the competing seaplanes taking off and landing in front of it. A famous name that was associated with these races was an Aircraftsman Shaw, who is better-known to many as Colonel T E Lawrence of Arabia.
Now built in real life!
It started out as a MOD of set 40650, but finally became a totally different model.
7 studs wide and 1 stud longer than the mentioned set, the MOC is now in 1/32 scale and matches gauge 1 railway models. Also, it now has the distinctive "barrel side" waistline and the triple rear window, both missing on the 40650 model.
The colour scheme with its black hood and roof is inspired by the 2015 "Autobiography Edition".

Defending the Nest.
This Osprey obviously got too close to the Fish crows' nest at Ocean City NJ. Both crows continued harassing the osprey until they had chased it a long way.
What goes around comes around - both crows were mobbed by red-winged blackbirds as they flew back to their nest.

Red Bull dj's event truck off road and in the dunes near the start of the Battle on The Beach 45 kilometre cycle race around three laps of the Pembrey Country Park,Carmarthenshire,Wales,UK....The vehicle is a modified Landrover Defender...Amazing
Finally, new LEGO MOC pics instead of old holiday stuff...well, decide for yourself what do you like better...
I managed to get my hands on my girlfriend's camera when she was inattentive for a sec...HA!...
The Landrover Defender is my favorite off-road vehicle - the ultimate off-road dinosaur...well, indeed a real macho car, but with a little more british reserve then his US cousin, the HUMMER...nevertheless it's raw, edged, reliable and almost indestructible...and nearly built externally unchanged for decades...not such a mushy SUV junk they design nowadays...
...Does this sound like an advertisement?...who cares...this car is a classic, so I think you'll probably have mercy with me...
...oh, I almost forgot to mention: some shapes and parts usage of this MOC (mostly the front) are influenced by Pitrek02 awesome vintage Landrover!

Land Rover Owner International Show 2023 at Belvoir Castle, near Grantham, Leicestershire, United Kingdom. Saturday 9th September 2023.
About the photograph.
Those two are heavily customised Land Rover Defender 4x4 modified for extreme off-roading. I have no idea what kind of engine they got, and I don’t have much information about them, as I didn’t get a programme for this event.
Seen in the photo, they are showing off their off-roading abilities over some kind of a mock up rough terrain, during a live display show in the arena. The one at the back is seen going on a seesaw, a balancing beam.
About the day.
In the early morning, I woke up, got ready, and took a three hours drive to Belvoir Castle, but that morning was already very warm, with a cloudless sky and the sun beating down on the land.
By the time I got there, I was already feeling very hot. I worn light coloured t-shirt, lightweight trousers, and a lot of sun cream, plus plenty of water.
Sadly, after about a couple of hours, I became a bit overheated in the burning sky, there weren’t much shades around, and it was kind of a heatwave of some sort.
So I had to give up, and return home to avoid getting a heat stroke, I only took like about 400 shots, and that was all I could manage.
When I got home, I had to have a cool down and a rest, and thankfully managed to stay well.
Land Rover Owner International Show.
Land Rover Owner, often abbreviated as LRO, is a British monthly magazine for Land Rover enthusiasts, published by a company based in Peterborough. The full title is often Land Rover Owner International.
It first started in July 1987 by a group of East Anglian businessmen, and was a mainly black and white 40 pages magazine. By the mid-1990s, it was bought by a publishing group, and became one of the popular Land Rover magazines.
The Land Rover Owner International Show is a yearly event ran by the magazine, and usually during the weekend in September. It features many various Land Rover vehicles on display, and includes an action arena for Land Rover drivers to display their driving skills.
