During the Cold War, the new Japanese Naval Self-defense Force built a series of large destroyers (Haruna and Shirane classes) which featured large hangars on the rear for up to three locally build Sea King Helicopters. Back then, protect Japan´s naval routes from hostile Soviet or Chinese submarines were the main mission of the JMSDF.
Although very capable and effective, these large destroyers could only take to sea a small number of Helicopters (3) when compared to a regular Aircraft-carrier which reduced their combat potential. Proposals for a true Anti-submarine Helicopter carrier were made but refused.
However, with the end of the Cold War and the recent increased in size of the Chinese Navy, (and since Helicopters continued to prove to be the best ASW weapon for a ship), a decision was made to develop a much larger anti-submarine ship.
However, this would lead to a series of political problems.

A modular marksman rifle, capable of chambering multiple calibers, such as 5.56 NATO, 7.62 NATO, 7.62x39mm, 7.62x45 or 6.8mm SPC.
A combination of the ACR and SCAR receivers was the inspiration for this design. I wanted a sleek extended lower RIS. I think it looks good. If you think it'd be week, just imagine its made of titanium. Problem solved. :P

I’m an everyday reader of J’s Everyday Fashion, although 90% of her outfits are a bit tame for my taste. I would venture to say that 90% of my outfits are too crazy for hers. In the Venn diagram of our styles, there is a point where they intersect and this outfit is a perfect example of something we’d both (I assume . . . I didn’t ask her) wear.
Shirt, Maeve (consignment). Skirt, Mossimo. Shoes, Steve Madden. Sunglasses, Target. Necklace, Heart Boutique. Bracelets, Charming Charlie and Tala’s Distant Treasures. Bag, Imoshion.
The first time I formally started taking photos of trains was here, Yuanbaoshan, Inner Mongolia, China, with two friends. At that time, I did't have a good camera and even did not know how to take a photo. This journey gave me a completely new world so that when I feel down I can have a way to cheer myself up. Without it I should be livng a much worse life now. Now these steam guys have stopped their breath. Farewell! Thanks for what you gave me, my old friend!
Jack Storm - The Island is a LEGO webcomic created by my good friend and LDD magician Pixel Fox. The first episode of this "Nate Drake meets Indiana Jones" story, can be viewed in its entirety here. I can't recommend it enough - read it, you'll be blown away.
The above scene is loosely inspired by the original story, I built it for the NCLUG display we had at the NC Comicon on 9 & 10 November 2013. My objective was to raise the awereness of the public towards fan made LEGO comics.
The crashed plane is mostly based on the set 7643.
Big thanks to Legogal from Eurobricks for lending me all the palm trees!
