With full afterburner selected this 2 Sqn Typhoon FGR4 departs home base RAF Lossiemouth with a performance departure.
Colonial defence comes in many forms, but fledgling settlements often start with turrets before they outfit their militas with starfighters and the like. Targeting is computer assisted, technique easy to learn and the weapons are often potent enough to dissuade pirates from attacking either by ground or air.
Against a more professional opponent, however, static turrets are easy prey to orbital sniping and can only form part of a broader defence tactic, including ships and planetary shielding.
It was common for the german army to install tank turrets in bunkers, called turmstellung (turretposition). It was widely used on the Atlantic wall, Südwall, on the Italian front and in German cities. On the Atlantic wall it was common with captured french turrets, seen here is a small bunker with a Renault R40 turret, heavily inspired by 442 bricks (tagged).
There is also a concrete trenchsystem connected to the bunker. In the system is a Anti aircraft gun, 2cm FlaK 30 with a frontal shield. Some techniques and details are inspired by others, and some are my own.
Seen is also a soldier measuring the distances. Two soldiers with splinter camoflauge is in there one with camo helmet and one with MRU netted helmet. One is standing at his MG34 with a AA sight. It is modded by me, the design belongs to Mr.Jens.
This is the first time I use this birch design, which I really like!
If you fave, please leave a comment. I'll appreciate to hear your opinions!
P.S I got some really nice painted figs, and modded weapons in the works
The glandular hairs of the Saxifrages probably evolved to defend the vulnerable buds by trapping tiny insects without impeding pollinators from flying to the flowers once they open, although in his extensive work on carnivorous plants Charles Darwin suggested they also dissolve and digest the insects they trap. He tells us that in 1875 Druce reported in the Pharmaceutical Journal that he found tiny insects on almost all of the dozens of plants of Saxifraga tridactylites he examined, and a friend in Ireland found the same.
This little specimen of Rue-leaved Saxifrage (Saxifraga tridactylites) was on a mossy wall by Nottingham's NG2 Business Park
Month of Mornings 25/30, Tuki Tuki River, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
A change in the weather late yesterday and overnight meant my #monthofmornings trip out to the Tuki Tuki River mouth involved wild winds, crazy skies and the serious risk of getting wet.
The lights in the distance are the bright lights of Napier.

Black swallowtail caterpillar showing orange osmeterium partly everted - the defensive organ found in all stages of growth of papilionid larvae. It is everted when the larva feels threatened, perhaps as I had the macro lens a little too close!
The everted organ resembles a fleshy forked tongue not unlike a snake tongue and this along with the large eye like spots on the body might be used to startle birds and small reptiles.

Ho imparato
a cadere mentre corro
per cadere meglio
quando inciampo.
Ho imparato
la mattina
con la pioggia
a sentire le nuvole
nel respiro
e le gocce nello stomaco
per non tremare
mentre piango.
Ho imparato
a urlare con la luce
e tacere con il buio
per non temere
la notte
ospite invadente
dei miei occhi.
Situated in high mountains on a river island, Norstedt secures the northern border of the Crohnstein Kingdom.
Further north, there is only the Wild Land, to which no one makes any claim.
Every attacker must use the bridges of Norstedt to enter the kingdom.
A river crossing is impossible because of the extreme rapids.
Will the city be able to defend itself against the attacking orc army?
At least help is on the way.
The first knights of the kingdom have already arrived shortly before the gates of Norstedt.
After 20 months of construction I finally managed to finish my Moc for the Lego Exhibition "8th Berliner Steinewahn" back in September.
Phu!
Next year I will build something smaller!
....at least I hope so!
Lars, who somehow always builds everything a little bigger!
Verteidigung von Norstedt
Im hohen Gebirge auf einer Flussinsel gelegen, sichert Norstedt die nördliche Grenze des Königsreichs Crohnstein.
Weiter im Norden befindet sich nur noch das Wilde Land, auf das niemand Anspruch erhebt.
Jeder Angreifer muss die Brücken von Norstedt nutzen um in das Königreich zu gelangen.
Eine Flussüberquerung ist wegen der extremen Stromschnellen unmöglich.
Wird es die Stadt schaffen, sich gegen die angreifende Orkarmee zu verteidigen?
Zumindest ist Hilfe auf dem Weg.
Die ersten Ritter des Königreiches sind bereits kurz vor den Toren von Norstedt eingetroffen.
Nach 20 Monaten Bauzeit hatte ich es endlich geschafft mein Moc zum 8. Berliner Steinewahn im September fertig zu stellen.
Phu!
Im nächsten Jahr baue ich etwas kleineres!
....das hoffe ich zumindest!
Lars, der irgendwie immer alles etwas größer baut! ;-)
A lone sea defender at Leasowe, The Wirral UK. This is one of many defences in rows that form interesting patterns but the night i was there it was a low tide only covering the first row.
Taken from the beach outside the harbour wall. From the boardwalk inside the harbour you can see the waves crashing 30/40 feet into the air.
