Another chance encounter with a "BoBo", after the previous photo. This one is not great weather-wise, but it is my first photo of a TransRail class Re 4/4II in either the TEE (no. 11393) or Rheingold (no. 11387) liveries, here hauling a special train for travel agency ZRT, which had organised a Pentecost weekend trip to Rosenheim (D). Although historically, no Re 4/4 II was ever painted in this livery, I do think it looks rather good on the loco! Winterthur, 03-06-2022.
Taken from the old viewing deck at Exeter Airport. Jersey European still fly today as Flybe.

A rarity amongst Ext. weapons. Ceremonial use is apparent.
These are builds and photos I did for the LEGO Adventure Book Volume 2. Many thanks to Megan Rothrock for inviting me to be involved and to Pete Reid for loaning a few select pieces.
This one is all me

{ In the process of constructing a manual collage -- scissors, mutilated photographs & publications, glue sticks. ad nauseam -- I had these last few elements sitting on the counter along w/ some related detritus, amd needed to shoot them the way they were just sitting there. After that, I added additional simple elements to create a triple exposure -- did you really expect otherwise? ;}
I like Coltrane. in the center, looking up (sort of levitating above the r.e.m. lyrics, et al.).
Incidentally, I have lots of film rolls shot over (no kidding) recent years -- whenever the moment has presented itself -- and I'll develop as soon as I find someone, meaning a lab, to work with! None left in town! D'oooooooh.
Well, thank you, as always, for stopping by. Prost. 8^)
Oh, those lines are from a photo of a cracked HD TV screen. Oops. ;}
the EXT-8000 is a loader/repair mech that works on the rest of the Battle armor Battalion. they are usually built from parts leftover from other mechs but many of the parts are quite robust and seldom breakdown.
the design is fairly simple, with the exception of the extending waist. constructed from a construction scissor lift, it allows the mech to work on the taller mechs like the Devastator and Avalanche while not making it too large to equip and repair the smaller armors like the lancer squads or the vanguard
NOTES: really I built the arms for this one along time ago while playing with the ideas for the lancer, I had intended on building a much smaller exo-suit as a pre-war prototype for the mechs such as the lancer, I never got around to design much else for it but a matching leg design and really lost interest in the design until I had the idea to build a repair mech for the rest of the fleet, even then I just played around with some extending arm designs or a slider system until I had the scissor lift waist idea after I made a mock up the waist everything else basically designed itself! I ended up using a lot of the older greys after I built the feet but a few parts use the newer shades here and there
