The marauder leader looks anxiously at the hangar's blast door. He doesn’t know why the intruder bordered his ship. Maybe he is some sort of vigilante or some bounty hunter but he doesn’t care.
Surely he can’t stand a chance against all the men he sent to kill him.
He continues to look at the blast door. No sound can pass through the sound-proof bulkhead and all he can do is to wait.
A blueish, feeble light colors the corridor.
“Some of you idiots fix those energy grid problems!” he yells but nobody can hear him because communications went offline the moment they were bordered.
Everything is going wrong today. Not even his fancy view screen is working properly.
“Damn! Why the colors are greenish! That star is supposed to be yellow! If they didn’t fix it soon I’ll kill them! I can’t miss today episode of Captain Phasma’s Trash Compactor Chronicles series!” he shouts at he does not even know who. Nobody is listening.
Bad day and the intruder is going to pay for that.
A violent impact shakes the blast door. Once…twice..then a blast.
From the breach on the bulkhead emerges a fully armored figure. The corridor’s lighting makes him even more fearsome.
The marauder tries to crawl away but an armored hand grabs him.
“Not so fast. It’s question time” say the armored man…
The action figure is Starcraft Tychus sixth scale figure from Sideshow.
It’s a truly impressive piece, standing over 39cm (about 15.5”) high with countless details, many points of articulation, light up parts etc.
It has some drawback due to its size: under certain circumstances stability ca be problematic and posing the huge assault rifle is painful sometimes but it’s still one of the most impressive collectibles I own :) It’s a very particular item and I’m still getting accustomed to it :)

Just one more note on the action figure :) You may have noticed one of the many details they put on the armor is, well let’s call it “a not so politically correct” phrase lol :)
It’s a just a slang phrase said before firing weapons (I made some research so I’m sure lol :) ) and it appears to be a reference to the famous Duke Nukem video game :)
They put it there because it’s exactly what appeared on his armor in the the video game. The character is not a very politically correct lol :)
If it disturbs you let me know, I can remove it during editing.
Personally I don’t think it’s a huge problem, in the end it’s just humor, but let me know :)
Anyway I already wrote a wall of text lol, so let’s focus on the photo :)
I hope you like it:)

The Engineering Building (1959–1963) was the first major building by British architects James Stirling and James Gowan. This Grade II* listed building comprises workshops and laboratories at ground level, and a tower containing offices and lecture theatres.
The building is part of the Red Trilogy by James Stirling. Beginning in the late 1950s, the architect designed three university buildings featuring distinctly red materials: red bricks and red tiles. The Red Trilogy includes the Engineering Building, University of Leicester (1959–1963), the Faculty of History, University of Cambridge (1964–1967), and the Florey Building, The Queen's College, Oxford (1966–1971). James Stirling and James Gowan worked together on the design for the Engineering Building. The Trilogy's two later buildings were designed by Stirling, without Gowan.
The Engineering Building is a large and complex structure. Stirling and Gowan were tasked to design spaces for offices, laboratories, auditorium, and workshops with heavy machinery. The design also includes a water tank on top. The workshops are located in the low-rise section of the building, in a hall with a rectangular floor plan. Connected to the workshop hall is the tower, which houses auditorium, offices, and laboratories. The water tank sits on top of the tower. The tower section is notable for its chamfered edges and its prismatic geometry. The auditorium is located at the base of the tower. The auditoriums seating arrangement is designed typically stadium-like with staggered rows of seats. The angled auditorium floor results in a pronounced wedge-shape on the building's exterior. The tower's facades are clad in glass and red tiles, the workshop hall's facade is entirely made of frosted glass.
A unique feature of the workshop hall is its roof construction. The roof's geometry is rotated by 45 degrees in respect to the floor plan's orientation. This results in a unique jagged roof line and a diamond-pattern-like perimeter. The roof appears as a series of multiple translucent prisms. The translucent effect was achieved by lining the glass panes with fibre-glass. Other parts of the glass shell are completely opaque, in contrast. Here, the glass panes were coated with a thin layer of aluminium.
Stirling and Gowan were commissioned in 1957. The design is dated to 1959. Construction lasted from 1960 to 1963. The consulting structural engineer was Frank Newby.
I've mentioned before how friendly train staff are in America. Look carefully and you can see the engineer / driver returning our wave when he saw photos being taken. As so often there were also a couple of 'hello' blasts on the horn : )
FURX 5520 leads BNSF 2020 as they haul a freight from LyondellBasell's Equistar chemical plant outside Matagorda, TX. It is probably heading for the docks at Corpus Christi.
For the rail aficionados - FURX 5520 is a rebuilt GP38-2 locomotive. The unit was originally built as Norfolk & Western 4140, a GP38AC, in September 1971. The "FU" stands for "First Union" though that company was taken over by Wells Fargo Rail late in 2015. That is a leasing company based in Illinois.

There are a number of processes that take place in deserts that will cause exposed skulls and other bones to decompose. Decomposition is not limited to biological means though these may play a role in many desert conditions. Deserts are typically not entirely without moisture, but rather have less than some arbitrary amount. Studies in the deserts of the southwestern US have shown that typically within one year of death, the initial stages of bone deterioration will take place, often as a result of bleaching due to sunlight, leading to embrittlement and exfoliation of bony material. Other processes, including the erosive effects of wind, can accelerate the decay. But it is not possible to give a single answer for the time required for a given bone to “decompose” since there are ranges of factors to take into account.

The engineer of Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad Rotary OY concentrates on the task at hand as the machine removes snow from the narrow gauge right-of-way at Coxo, Colorado, on March 1, 2020. Because of limited visibility from the plow, Engineer Max Casias gets some of his information on how much throttle is needed on the plow by a pilot up front on the right side of the rotary, who happens to be his dad Marvin Casias.
My 4 years old brother gives me idea to make pliers. When I customing my figures, my brother saw the BrickArms bipod, and said "It's pliers". I explained him there isn't pliers, there is bipod. After that I want make german engineer, and I use my brothers design, so here it is.
Goddard engineer Tom Grubb manipulates a 3D simulation that animated the speed and direction of four million stars in the local Milky Way neighborhood. Goddard astronomer Marc Kuchner and researcher Susan Higashio used the virtual reality program, PointCloudsVR, designed by primary software developer Matthew Brandt, to obtain a new perspective on the stars' motions. The simulation helped them classify star groupings.
Another application developed under Goddard and NASA research and development programs makes designing spacecraft, instruments and repair missions easier, allowing engineers to experience the space before they start to build it.

66535 heads a collection of JNA ballast wagons through Blaydon station on 3rd January 2016. The Newcastle Carlisle was closed west of Halthwhistle due to engineering work around the Low Row/Brampton area.
This was the second of two workings within an hour carrying used ballast from the possession back to Tyne Yard.
As can be seen dreary damp weather continues to be the order of the day as it has been for most of the Christmas period.
It's a summer Friday, and McCloud Railway is running its weekly train east to the BNSF interchange at Lookout, California. The train runs with just engineer Malen Johnson; a helper will drive to Lookout and assist him with the switching moves there. The last 34 miles into Lookout are over BNSF-owned track that is operated and maintained by MR.
When this image was exposed at Bartle siding in August 2001, the future was looking bleak. In a couple of years, BNSF would enter into a haulage agreement with Union Pacific that enabled abandonment of the old Great Northern from Lookout west to Hambone. Traffic off MR for BNSF would go to UP at Mount Shasta, and UP would then turn it over to BNSF at Klamath Falls, Oregon. The last McCloud Railway train to Lookout ran in December 2003.
Ultimately, MR stopped hauling freight entirely in mid-2006. All its trackage east of McCloud is now abandoned and dismantled. For now, BNSF has left a couple miles of the line west of Lookout in place. This spur to nowhere is used periodically for car storage.
