Hi.
Been working on him for a while now. Everything on the vest is sculpted except the pistol pouches. Not entirely accurate...like the gloves and missing mic. To me it looked better without the mic. Well anyway, enjoy!

Oh, one more thing, which one should I make next? Recon or support or a different faction?

Between 2018 and 2022 relief lifeboat RNLB MARINE ENGINEER served on the Douglas station following the withdrawal of the RNLB SIR WILLIAM HILLARY. She is seen here alongside the visitor pontoon at Battery Pier, Douglas whilst maintenance work is undertaken on the boathouse and slipway.
The station is currently served by RNLB RUBY CLERY the former Ramsey Lifeboat.

Douglas Lifeboat Station is located at Battery Pier, Douglas Head, in the City of Douglas, capital of the Isle of Man.
Douglas and the Isle of Man holds a special place in the history of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), previously the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS), as this was the home of its founder, Sir William Hillary, 1st Baronet, 1771–1847.
The first Douglas lifeboat was funded by the Duke of Atholl, Governor of the Isle of Man, and arrived in 1802. A lifeboat station operated by the RNIPLS was opened in 1825. The station was re-established by the RNLI in 1868.
The station currently operates one of the last two Mersey-class lifeboats still in active service, 12-22 Ruby Clery (ON 1181), on station since 2022.
In 1802, a lifeboat was provided to Douglas by the John Murray, 4th Duke of Atholl, Governor of the Isle of Man. She was an 8-oared 25-foot-long boat costing £130, named Atholl, and was one of 31 lifeboats built by Henry Greathead. There are no records of any service by the boat. The boat was kept out in the open on the beach and was washed away and wrecked in a storm of December 1814.
On 6 October 1822, the Royal Naval Ship Vigilant was wrecked on the Conister Rock (later the location of the Tower of Refuge), and it was only due to the daring actions of Sir William Hillary, Bt. and a group of volunteers, using local boats, that 97 men were rescued.
Having witnessed many wrecks and loss of life whilst living in Douglas, and now inspired by the events of 1822, Hillary published his Appeal to the Nation in 1823. He gained the support of his philanthropic friends in London Society.
A public meeting was held at the City of London Tavern, Bishopgate on 4 March 1824, with attendees including the archbishop of Canterbury, various MPs, and high-profile public figures such as William Wilberforce and sea rescue expert Capt. George William Manby FRS. It was resolved to form the National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck.
The Institution was granted royal patronage by King George IV on 20 March 1824, thus becoming the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck. Prime Minister Robert Jenkinson was made president, with Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Charles Manners-Sutton becoming vice-president. Hillary was awarded an honorary Gold Medal as founder.
In August 1824, Hillary requested of the Institution, that a new lifeboat station be established at Douglas. The request was approved, and an order for a boat, the first lifeboat ordered by the Institution, was placed with William Plenty of Newbury, previously the winner of a lifeboat-design competition. He provided a 20-foot lifeboat, named Nestor, which arrived in Douglas in early October 1825.
However, also following the events of October 1822, a group of marine insurance companies including Lloyd's of London had already agreed in April 1824 to fund a new lifeboat for Douglas. She was a 29-foot North Country type, built by Wake of Sunderland, and cost £112. She arrived in Douglas in November 1824, 11 months before the Institution boat, and was named True Blue.
It may be that Nestor suffered a very short career. On her first and only recorded service, to the vessel City of Glasgow in trouble in Douglas Bay, Nestor was driven onto the rocks on her return trip and badly damaged, although the 15 people rescued from the ship and the lifeboat crew made it safely ashore.
There are conflicting reports of exactly which lifeboats were in service at Douglas after this time. Certainly, the True Blue remained in service for many years until 1851, with many heroic and medal-winning services performed. Hillary requested that new stations be set up in Peel (1828) and Ramsey (1829), and a new boat for Peel was ordered from Taylor of Blackwall. Another boat was ordered locally, a 29-foot 10-oared Palmer-type boat, from boat builder Robert Oates of Douglas. Whilst one report shows that this boat was being built for Ramsey, another report indicates that Ramsey's boat was actually built by Harton of London and transported to Ramsey aboard HM Cutter Industry, arriving on 20 February 1829.
A Glasgow boat, Eclipse, ran aground in Douglas Bay in January 1830. Hillary, along with lifeboat coxswain Isaac Vondy and crew, took the unfinished boat from Robert Oates's yard and launched to her aid. In extreme circumstances, with the lifeboat still missing air-cases, causing her to carry excess water from the pounding waves, everyone was safely recovered. Hillary received his second Gold Medal for gallantry.
In 1833, RNLI records show two Douglas lifeboats in service. One was the True Blue, but it is unclear as to the identity of the second boat – maybe the unnamed boat from Robert Oates, or possibly the Nestor, which may have been repaired. By 1843, just True Blue was reported to be in service at Douglas.
A period of decline followed the death of Hillary in 1847, the driving force behind the Institution on the island. A report of 1851 records the True Blue as unserviceable. The Institution decided to commission a 24-foot Peake-class lifeboat from Wallis of Blackwall, to be named Sir William Hillary, Bt., and by May 1853, it was reported as ready. But no records show any service by this boat, or indeed that it was ever delivered to Douglas.
In 1866, the RNLI resolved to form a new lifeboat station at Douglas. A new boathouse was built on Harris promenade, at the corner of Church Road, and a 32-foot self-righting lifeboat was commissioned with Forrestt of Limehouse, London, costing £246.
£325 was received from the Manchester and Salford Sunday School Fund, which covered the cost of the boat, plus all kit and equipment, and the launching carriage. On 6 February 1868, the boat was transported by rail to Manchester, and paraded through the streets to Peel Park, Salford, where she was greeted by about 10,000 Sunday-school children and parents and was named Manchester and Salford Sunday School.
In 1872, William Curphey took over as coxswain. However, when a launch in September 1873 failed to rescue 3 men from drowning, he resigned, citing that the boathouse was in the wrong location, which had caused unnecessary delays in launching.
The RNLI subsequently decided to place a second boat at the harbour, to be kept afloat at its moorings, and creating a No. 2 station. This boat arrived in 1874, and was named John Turner-Turner in the memory of the late husband of Mrs Turner-Turner of Ringwood, Hampshire, who had provided the funds for the boat.
The No. 1 station effectively closed when the boat house on Harris promenade was sold to Douglas Corporation in 1892, although the No. 1 boat Thomas Rose (ON 191) was still in service, and kept under a tarpaulin at the quay. A severe storm of December 1895 caused the No. 2 boat, by then Civil Service No. 6 (ON 273), to break her moorings, and she was wrecked on the rocks. She was withdrawn from service, and No. 2 station closed.
In 1896, following a meeting between the RNLI and Douglas Harbour Commissioners, a new boat house on the Battery Quay was commissioned, along with a slipway. A replacement boat was also ordered, another 42-foot 12-oared self-righting boat, built by Rutherford's of Birkenhead. Costing £618, she was also named Civil Service No.6 (ON 384), arriving in Douglas on 5 June 1896. The entire cost was met by the Civil Service Fund. Thomas Rose was withdrawn from service.
In 1920, the RNLI announced that a new motor-powered lifeboat would be provided for Douglas. A new lifeboat house and slipway was constructed, mounted on piles built in the harbour in front of the existing boathouse, and costing £10,000. The lifeboat was a 45ft Watson-class, built by S. E. Saunders, costing £8,456. Arriving in Douglas in November 1924 and funded by the Manchester and Salford branch of the RNLI, she was sailed over to Trafford Wharf on the Manchester Ship Canal in June 1925, for a naming ceremony attended by over 25,000 people. She was duly named Manchester and Salford (ON 689) by Lady Fry, wife of the Lieutenant governor of the Isle of Man.
Present day: In March 2024, the 1920s boathouse is still in use, awaiting a decision on a replacement boathouse and lifeboat. All-weather Mersey-class lifeboat 12-22 Ruby Clery (ON 1181) is on service, having been transferred from her previous homes at Peel and Ramsey.

My uncle Ray was in the Royal Engineers in WWII. After serving in France and being evacuated from Dunkirk in May 1940 he was posted to India. During the Burma campaign he drove diggers and scrapers as part of the RE in-country airfield construction team.
I recently found this undated photo of Ray (right) and his comrades in my mother's things.
Day two with the engineers and pilots of the USCG/NORAD helicopter intercept squadron. I got straight into it, with the engineers working on one of the HH-65C helicopters in the Hangar 5 at Reagan Washington International, in Virginia. A number of mechanics were climbing all over her, but the one working on something out of sight, with his body buried in the back hatch, and just a set of legs sticking out caught my attention first. It was obvious immediately that he wasn't going to stay that way for long, but having his head out of sight meant he didn't realise I was there drawing. And Like I always say to beginner reportage artists, "you have to start the sketch in order to finish the sketch." So just draw. In the end he stayed still just long enough.

The engineer on NS 914 waves to my son (who was sitting on my shoulders) as the rail train rolls under stormy skies Saturday night. The train had just passed through CP Lees Cross Roads and would catch a red a mile down the track to wait on priority traffic. Lead engine NS 3531 was built in 1979 for the Burlington Northern. It was part of a batch of SD40-2's that Norfolk Southern purchased from Helm Leasing in 2014.
Level-headedness, a steady hand, and an encyclopedic knowledge of the trade are standard skills employed by engineers. For our Switchblade, however, these attributes are mere child’s play: she first showed her mechanical bent in infancy, when to amuse herself during her long naptime hours she would routinely dismantle the mobile that hung above her crib and reassemble it in more interesting formations. As a child, she dismissed the pinafores that were standard attire for young ladies of the age in favor of a far more practical pair of coveralls, in which she was accustomed to trot down to the local mechanic’s shop, where the proprietor reluctantly allowed the girl to watch him at his trade.
By the time she came of age, Switchblade was far from the village of her birth, designing improved navigation systems for submarines during the Great War. With her heavy tool belt rattling at her hips and a socket wrench most often clenched between her teeth, the young Engineer soon garnered a reputation for taciturnity, though her shipmates could attest to her eloquence in defending her opinions, political and otherwise, in the cabin below deck over cups of strong Russian tea.
Though she loved her life beneath the sea, a difference of ethical conviction led our intrepid Engineer to take her talents beyond the roving waves. Within the ranks of the Pastime Athletic Club, Switchblade proves her mettle daily through her inventions, ingenuity, and resourcefulness. Never before has one of our own been so unconditionally deft with ratchet, knife, and compass, nor designed such foolproof mechanisms as to defy the most doggedly curious investigators.
Carte de visite by Winans of Independence, Mo. This party of engineers worked on the W.K.C. & N.W.R.R. at some point relatively soon after the war. It is possible that some or all of these men were veterans from the U.S. and/or C.S. armies. The abbreviation may be for the Western Kansas Central & Norfolk and Western Rail Road, which ran just south of Independence, the home gallery of the photographer. The numbers at the bottom correspond to names written in pencil on the back of the mount. My best effort at transcribing them is:

Afghan civilians look on as Royal Engineers from 44 (Four Four) HQ and Support Squadron install a General Support Bridge (GSB) near Check Point Oqob in the northern part of Nahr-e Seraj District of Helmand Province.
To launch a bridge the Royal Engineers use the Automated Bridge Launching Equipment (ABLE) that is capable of launching bridges up to 44 m in length. The ABLE vehicle is positioned with its rear pointing to the gap to be crossed and a lightweight launch rail extended across the gap. The bridge is then assembled and winched across the gap supported by the rail, with sections added until the gap is crossed. Once the bridge has crossed the gap the ABLE launch rail is recovered. A 32 m bridge can be built by 10 men in about 40 minutes.

Offered in the US from model year 1997 to 2001, the Catera was a badge-engineered Opel Omega made in Rüsselsheim, Germany.
The advertisements for it featured supermodel Cindy Crawford speaking to an animated duck-like character anmed 'Ziggy', who lasted maybe 2 years.
It wasn't derided as much as GM's earlier, badge-engineered Cadillac Cimarron was, a car that was easily recognized that it had the same body as the economy Chevrolet Cavalier except with Caddy end caps. But the Catera wasn't a great seller, either, finishing its run of 5 years as a single-run model.
The one depicted has apparently survived and looks to be in very good condition.

31311 stands wrong line with a ballast train at Barnsley on very dull 5th June 1983. The two nearest lines served a parcels depot which had closed a couple of years previously. The shunting was usually in charge of a DMU that dropped off a a parcels van on the 18.00 from Sheffield to Barnsley if I recall correctly.
The line nearest also served the good shed on the left by means of a head shunt behind the photographer.
The Secretariat, Yangon, Myanmar was designed by British engineer Henry Hoyne-Fox. Construction began in 1889 the Victorian-style and the complex covers 16 acres of land in the heart of Yangon. The steel used in the support structure of the buildings was shipped in from Glasgow, Scotland and the original roof tiles were manufactured in France, the bricks and teak for the wood work were locally sourced across Asia.
The main entrance hall of the Secretariat, was once topped by a grand dome. The three-story atrium is now covered with glass and it features a magnificent double-helix spiral staircase, painted a rich green and with finials of Queen Victoria. The Secretariat was closed for many years after the Government moved to Naypyitaw in 2005 and the complex was mostly abandoned and left to decay behind locked gates and imposing fences. In recent years, renovations have been underway and the building was partially open to tourism and as an exhibition centre.
It contained the Yangon Parliament House where Burma’s self-rule first began and its West Wing was the location of the assassination of General Aung San, the father of Modern Myanmar, and 6 cabinet members on 19 July 1947.
