Yep, most associate decoys with hunting and guns. Well we hunt, just with cameras :)
The Bufflehead, at least here, is a super skittish creature. Maybe this will get them closer?

In the twilight of their years, old spies of the Cold War era found themselves grappling with modern technology.
A master of clandestine Morse code, now baffled by the intricacies of sending a simple text message.
These veterans of espionage, once adept at outsmarting the KGB, faced their greatest challenge: surviving the digital age with their dignity intact.

CZ: Dne 30. prosince 2024 byla nedaleko stanice Štrba zachycena lokomotiva 151.006 v čele mezistátního expresu EC 241 "Košičan" [Praha hl.n. - Košice]. V rámci rozloučení lokomotiv řady 151 s vozbou mezistátních expresů na Slovensko byly ve dnech 26. prosince až 30. prosince 2024 tyto stroje nasazeny spolu s klasickou soupravou na tento prestižní mezistátní výkon z Prahy do Košic a zpět s kilometrickým proběhem přes 1300 km. Pod vrcholy pohoří Vysoké Tatry se jednalo o skutečně důstojné rozloučení s touto železniční epochou.
EN: On 30 December 2024, locomotive 151.006 was photographed near Štrba station at the head of the interstate express EC 241 "Košice" [Praha hl.n. - Košice]. As part of the farewell of the 151 series locomotives to Slovakia with express trains, these engines were deployed together with a classic set on this prestigious service from Prague to Košice and back with a length of over 1300 km from 26 December to 30 December 2024. Under the peaks of the Vysoké Tatry Mountains, it was a truly dignified farewell to this railway era.
The Arrow made it's second publc display this weekend at the NCLUG Bricksboro LUG show at the Greensboro Science Center October 1st-2nd, 2022. This is the first time since the Arrow has been built that I have been able to open/deploy ALL of the hidden features! I had to strengthen a few sections after its debut show, but now it's ready to take on the convention circuit!
"From the personal logs of Protector Class ARC Trooper 018 "Galaar"..."
" It was 0200 and three days until our deployment to Geonosis when Mandalorian Cuy'val Dar member Vhonte Tervho, my mentor and training Sergeant summoned my squad to a nearby classroom. She hadn't specified why, nor was it my place to ask, but that didn't stop me from being curious. The barracks gossip from other squads described Mandalorian Sergeants putting their troopers through pre-battle "rituals" the previous night. That couldn't be it though, sure Sergeant Tervho followed the Mandalorian Resol'nare, but hazing her troops just nights prior to their first battle wasn't her style. Maybe she had one last lesson for us, one critical piece of advice that would carry us through what was to come, that seemed more likely. I entered the classroom along with several of my brothers, we had all trained under Vhonte, and had all been tasked with the destruction of a Techno Union tank foundry during the coming battle. The Mandalorian Sergeant stood behind a small holotable in the far corner of the classroom speaking with another Mandalorian in a hushed voice, I didn't recognize him, sure he could be Cuy'val Dar from one of the other facilities, but something about him was off, his armor was dirty caked in a thin red dust. The Mandalorians of the Cuy'val Dar cleaned their armor regularly in order to maintain a dress appearance while here on Kamino. Keeping my curiously to myself I lined up with the other troopers, a hodgepodge of armor, and garrison uniforms and waited. Eventually she turned away from the unknow Mandalorian and addressed us.
"Troopers it's been an honor being your mentor over these last couple years, before you go off to battle in three days I have one last lesson and one gift to give you. Preparation is everything, with proper preparation you will always be able to take down any mark and accomplish any task. The leadership of this army has neglected to prepare you for this battle and have decided to send you in blind. This will not do, I won't have my soldiers march blindly onto an unknow battlefield to be slaughtered, especially over some Jedi. This here is a colleague of mine from Mandalore, he owed me a favor and was kind enough to recon the factory which you've been tasked with destroying. Take notes troopers, this information will serve you well. You will be the best soldiers this galaxy has seen in a long time and will be the pride of not only the Republic, but of us few who had the honor of raising you, I know you are ready for what's to come. Oya Mando'ade, Oya.
And with that she stepped back and the other Mandalorian stepped forward and activated the holotable. The table displayed a detailed schematic of the tank factory on Geonosis, our target. I did my best to commit every inch of that factory to memory as the Mandalorian briefed us, some of the information wasn't even mission critical, but as Sergeant Tervho had said, it pays to be prepared. The briefing ended several hours later, just in time for morning mess and before we left Sergeant Tervho once again told us just how proud of us she was and that we were more than ready to tackle anything the Geonosians could throw at us. I left the room beaming with pride, feeling invincible, Geonosis felt like it would be a cake walk, nothing more than just another one of the thousands of simulations we had drilled during training. Victory felt guaranteed, well at least up until I made it to the mess hall and saw what they were serving."
END LOG
-----------------------------
Coming off of a pretty rough period of builders block, so I'm hopping that I can pump out another build or two before I leave for a month due to work. As for this build, it's defiantly nothing special, or very good, but necessary to advance Galaar's story within the 253rd. Let me know what you guys think, an d I promise not to take a week to write the story.
As always, thanks for stopping by!

Pirate's chopper & mobile landing platform
.
"Modified from surplus farm helicopters, these small and handy aircrafts are used to scout the toxic ocean surface - mostly in attempts to spot shipwrecked sailors. However, some rogue treasure divers have begun mounting illegal scanners that can reach deep below the water surface, hoping to be able to find precious loot more easily.
These choppers are either deployed by mobile carrier boats, or from more commonly used concrete pontoons. These mobile landing platforms can be easily towed by the average pirate ship."
.
Yet another build in the series - been wanting to expand into the aerial aspect of maritime settings. Mostly inspired by classic Lego Town sets as well as the German Fa 330 from 1943.

When it's warm enough, the owners advertise sail boat rides and deploy the colorful sail. This has happened often as we walk by.

Protests took place in different towns in France the night after french elections, against the election of Macron. Here, in Paris. a deployment of policemen. View from my open window (strong smell of tear gas)
Accidentally finding and gaining access to the yard at Vila Nova de Gaia was a real bonus during my recent trip to Portugal. The icing on the cake, however came when a visit to Regua was made. In and around the station environs was an old tank that on public display, a fine restored larger tank that was deployed on mainline trips to and from Tua and three long abandoned Henschel & Son 2-4-6-0 tanks.
Two of the three tanks, E-201 and E-208 are seen here on a road off the turntable. They seem to have been there almost forty years and are the last of almost a dozen that were initially stored around the turntable.
Variation on the Macro Mondays theme: "When I was a child..."
When I was growing up I was an Army Brat and lived on and off base in several places. Naturally I loved my toy soldiers and spent hours playing with them in the sandy soil of the various flower beds around our houses.

Gold Leader: "Deployment 4 is all accounted for and ready for departure. Who's ready to get off this living hell?"
Thresh: “I’m ready to light some more of those blue boys up. My baby just can't wait too either!"
*loading of magazine*
Sarah: "Don't get too trigger happy. You'll shoot yourself trying to get out of here alive..."
Thorne: "Copied, Gold Leader, I'm sending you the coordinates for the extraction point as of now... Be there in under 2 hours on the clock now and you should be able to avoid any unnecessary distractions.
Gold Leader: "Just received the coordinates. We’ll be there this time. And there will be no casualties, unlike last time. Alright boys, pack up."
Tancred: "Charges are set and secure. Our traces should be mostly covered up."
Thorne: "I'm picking up heat signatures south eastbound, so light the damn thing up"
Sarah: "Sni-"
*sniper rounds*
Vern: "Man down! We're gonna need a medic!"
Gold Leader: “Pull her inside and patch her up. Do anything you can to stop the bleeding."
"Thorne, call in the medics. We’re going to have a belated arrival… again."
Thorne: "I'm on it."

Air to air image of a RAF F-35B Lightning ll aircraft, from Edwards Air Force Base in California, USA. Where it is stationed with 17 (Reserve) Squadron.
The F-35B Lightning II will place the UK at the forefront of fighter technology, giving the Royal Air Force a true multi-role all weather, day and night capability, able to operate from well-established land bases, deployed locations or the Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers.
Lightning II has been designed from the outset to carry out a wide range of mission types, able to use its very low observable characteristics to penetrate Integrated Air Defence Systems and strike a number of types of targets. In a permissive environment, Lightning II is able to carry weapons on external pylons, as well as in the internal weapon bays. This will allow a maximum weapon payload of 6 Paveway IV, 2 AIM-120C AMRAAM, 2 AIM-132 ASRAAM and a missionised 25mm gun pod.The Lightning II design applies stealth technology manufacturing techniques and, to minimise its radar signature, the airframe has identical sweep angles for the leading and trailing edges of the wings and tail, and incorporates sloping sides for the fuselage and the canopy.
