MOC WARS 2020! Clunkers! Fellowship Of The Brick!
A small utility ship sent into "uncharted" asteroid fields to measure their richness in valuable minerals, prior to company acquisition.
A dangerous job for the pilot, given the lack of basic safety features, and the constant threat of inhospitable "natives". Fortunately, the company fitted a gatling gun on the rear of the ship, so the pilot can protect the valuable cargo from pursuers, even if they have to climb to the back of their moving ship to use it.
Some clear views of the front, sides and back.
I had the strong feeling of being alone when I captured this picture. I tried to transform this feeling to the viewer. I had never seen so often such a dense fog. So I felt lost when I went across the open meadow. When I spotted this lonely tree, the fog isolates it from the surroundings. The snow and the fog creates a cold atmosphere. Normally I don't like to use central composition, cause it often considered to be dull. But the asymmetric tree crown holds against this aspect. So I feel it fits perfectly. The central position gives the tree also the mayor subject. Everything surround becomes the content to be framing. Also I think it brings peace and harmony into the image.

To keep away those pesky Blacktrons from around your digging sites.
The front fits two hard working M-tron security dudes side by side. I wanted to sit a gunner in the back but it turned out to be too tricky for my patience.

phase C
This was pretty much the first complete set up for the book.
This early version was taken with a normal digital camera and the lighting was a bit off. A smoke machine produced the fog in the background, an idea we later dropped.
It took at least three attempts until we were happy; it was worth it but it involved a fair bit of swearing.
Some pictures are beautiful, and some pictures are not. But once in a while those ugly tells you something. And you know you've had a rough trip, when the best you've ever seen is such a flying thing.

The EFU's Tactical Insertion and Extraction Vehicle (TIEV) nicknamed the 'Wyvern' is a light vtol capable of carrying small cargo or a small strike squad.
Features of the Wyvern are:
- Seperate cockpit with one pilot and one onboard AI, same as the EFU's Cyclops walker.
- Space for up to 6 people and/or small cargo.
- Deployable shields to protect passengers.
- Other features include; Multi Spectrum Sensors, Active Protection Radar with Interceptive Countermeasures, 40mm Cannon, Refueling Probe, Optical Jammers and Retractable Landing Gear

Concept of the Wyvern is inspired by the Little Bird, Halo Reach's Falcon as well as some Sci-Fi Aerial Vehicles artwork on Artstation. The EFU's Air Force troopers are inspired by SamTheLegoMan from the WiD discord.
Jake's plan had worked perfectly, the last of the 'volgans' that had hidden deep inside Dinosaur Valley had been eliminated, except a few stragglers, but the bombs Goldie had planted would take care of them! The helicopter had arrived, now all the needed to do was board it!
“Wait!
Before you take the secondary replacer out, I have a few more instructions for you on how to set up the
extraction so that it follows through to our greater advantage. It is inconvenient that the she-human is so moralistic, and extra steps will be needed to prevent unpleasant results after the extraction.
The she-human will expect the target replacer to make some attempt to save the secondary replacer, out of 'human decency' or 'chivalry' or something like that.
Make the secondary replacer seem as inhuman as possible right before 'she' is extracted. Command the replacer to attempt an attack on the subject based on your fabrication. Make 'her' appearance less human; play on the subject's existing fears regarding mutants. You will find sufficient material to create an effective composition if you examine the subject's mind again.
Besides this, you might as well have the Extracting Officer 'wound' the target replacer, it will provide another reason to excuse his negligence in 'saving' the secondary replacer.”
“It will be done, O Queen. Your wisdom is inimitable.”
I can't believe what's happened!
We were walking along, musing to each other over why we were banished here, when a loud RIP! sounded behind us. I spun around as Djiimi shrugged her cut bonds off and removed her gag in one fluid movement.
“Thought you could restrain me, did you?” she spat, charging toward us. Toward me.
Reldan jumped in her way to protect me but she jumped over both our heads with inhuman agility, landing nimbly at our backs. From behind me, Reldan gasped as she began to change...
Her face contorted...
Her eyes turned orange...
Fangs sprouted from her mouth...
She spoke again, her voice audibly sibilant.
“He'sssss MINE!!!” she screamed at me, and prepared to pounce.
Before I could react, a thunderous rumble emanated from the ground and some sort of...worm thing erupted in a cloud of sand. In the same second wicked mantis claws snatched Djiimi up and lashed Reldan with a barbed tail as he made a move toward it. Struck in the head, he lurched backward.
The creature made a slight movement with its claws and snapped its prey in two like a cookie. I watched it as it greedily sucked gory contents from the body that had just been about to attack me.
It paused to look our way but I froze and Reldan had passed out. Its motion-detecting eyes seeing nothing of interest, it lowered its serpentine body beneath the sands, taking its meal with it.

O'Neil and his squad reach the the LZ as the Dragonfly Gunship touches down. Another successful mission accomplished. Day 1348 Y4D244
C-FPBJ, a de Havilland Canada DHC-7-103 Dash 7, at the Marine Laydown Area (MLA) at Bathurst Inlet, Nunavut - just north of the Arctic Circle. It had just arrived as TIN806 (Air Tindi Ltd.) from Goose Lake, Nunavut and Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
Its 70" x 91" cargo door permits oversized objects to be loaded and unloaded with ease.
Serial number 9 is currently the oldest Dash 7 in service around the world. The 44-year-old workhorse began its career as A6-MLM with Emirates Air Service at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on July 31, 1978. It later served with Air Greenland A/S of Nuuk, Greenland and with Trans Capital Air Ltd. of Toronto, Ontario before joining the Air Tindi fleet on March 10, 2021.
For heavy equipment fans, the machine shown is a Caterpillar IT28G Wheel Loader.
Another view of the kitchen....not sure if it's melting away...
Thanks for looking in....appreciated....best bigger....hope you have a Great Day
Berengrave Nature Reserve is in two parts, dissected by The Lower Rainham Road.
The Area to the south was Rainham Chalk pit. It is now part of Riverside Country Park.
In The 19th Century the area was an orchard, but in 1901, The British Standard Cement Company started chalk extraction from Rainham Chalk Pit.
In 1921 The British Standard Cement Company opened a new Cement Works at Motney Hill.
Chalk extraction ceased and the pit was abandoned when the cement factory closed in 1931.
Cement produced here was used on much of the buildings in the rapidly expanding London and for rebuilding San Francisco following the devastating Earthquake on 18th April 1906 and subsequent three day fire..

I tried to follow his way of lighting hands but I couldn't nail it. So these are lit from above with a bare flash and my hands were resting on some black felt.
El wire pulled through a hole in the felt after the flash had fired. Hands desaturated in LR...
