Painting and markings:
Basically a simple affair, because I wanted to stay true to the original look of a typical Macross Destroid. These tend to carry a uniform livery, esp. the Tomahawk/Defender/Phalanx family is kept in murky/dull tones of green, brown and ochre: unpretentious "mud movers". Anything else or even complex camouflage patterns are rare. The OOB MBR-04-Mk. VI carries a reddish-brown livery, and Yamato also did an 1:60 Tomahawk action figure in an overall olive drab tone, which appears canonical.
However, for a personal touch I chose a greyish dark green as basic overall tone, Field Grey (Tamiya XF-65). The missile launcher covers on the shoulders were painted in NATO olive green (RAL 6014, Gelboliv, Revell 46), but the different tone became, after weathering, harder and harder to tell, so that the Tomahawk ended up with a relatively uniform livery.
Otherwise there's hardly any other color on the Tomahawk’s hull. The hands/fists were painted with Polished Steel metallizer, the bellows in the knees became anthracite (Revell 06). The characteristic white trim on the lower legs that many Destroids carry was painted with white - unfortunately none of the Destroid kits offers them as a decal. However, due to the legs' uneven underground, these would be difficult to apply, anyway. The lower camera visor was created with simple clear red paint on top of a basic coat with silver. The other small camera windows at the top and back are small decal squares in dayglo orange.
The model was thoroughly weathered with a heavier black ink wash and a total of three dry brushing turns: the first, generous treatment with acrylic Revell 67 (Grüngrau, RAL 7009), followed by the second, moer careful turn around the edges and other details with acrylic Revell 45 (Helloliv, a yellowish variant of RLM 02). The decals followed next, mostly taken from the OOB sheet, just with a few extra stencils, new tactical codes and the "Trixie” nose art (it actually belongs to a P-40F, piloted by Joseph A Bloomer Jr of the 318th FS/325th FG in the MTO) on the lower left leg – a typical detail of many Destroids.
The third dry brushing turn followed, this time with acrylic Revell 75 (a yellowish light grey), esp. on the edges and concentrated around the lower areas of the Tomahawk, simulating wear and dust/mud residue.
Finally, the model received an overall coat with acrylic matt varnish from the rattle can. Some bare metal showing through at a few edges was added, too, again through dry-brushing with silver. After final assembly of the elements, some mineral pigments were dusted onto the model with a soft, big brush. Around the feet, pigments were also applied into small patches of wet matt acrylic varnish, forming stable mud crusts.
Is it just me, or do those markings under the wing look
like bird wingspans? Thought I was seeing things... lol
Gyrfalcon from the Arctic Region
23rd Annual Florida Renaissance Festival
Winter 2015 ~ Deerfield Beach, Florida U.S.A.
(four more photos of this beautiful falcon in the comments)
*********************************************************************
The gyrfalcon is the largest of the falcon species. It breeds on Arctic coasts and the islands of North America, Europe, and Asia. It is mainly a resident there also, but some gyrfalcons disperse more widely after the breeding season, or in winter. Individual vagrancy can take birds for long distances. The gyrfalcon is dispersed throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere, with populations in Northern America, Greenland, and Northern Europe. Its plumage varies with location, with birds being colored from all-white to dark brown. For centuries, gyrfalcon has been a precious hunting bird, highly valued among the Vikings. It is the national symbol of Iceland.
The first part of its name comes from Old High German for "vulture", referring to its size compared to other falcons; or from the Latin meaning for "circle" or "curved path" from the species' circling as it searches for prey, distinct from the hunting of other falcons in its range. It is an extremely fast flying raptor in excess of 130 mph.
FYI: It is today the official bird of Canada's Northwest Territories. The white falcon in the crest of the Icelandic Republic's coat of arms is a variety of Gyrfalcon. The white phase gyrfalcon is the official mascot of the United States Air Force Academy.

Taurotragus derbianus gigas
The Giant Eland (Taurotragus derbianus also known as the Lord Derby Eland) is an open forest savannah antelope. It is found in Central African Republic, Sudan, Cameroon and Senegal. There are two subspecies: the endangered T. d. derbianus, found in Senegal's Niokolo-Koba National Park, and the low risk T. d. gigas, found in Central Africa.
Giant eland are typically between 220–290 cm (7.2–9.5 ft) in length, stand approximately 150 to 175 cm (4.9 to 5.7 ft) at the shoulder, and weigh 440–900 kg (970–2,000 lb). Despite its common name, it is of very similar size to the Common Eland. The smooth coat is reddish-brown to chestnut, usually darker in males than females, with several well-defined vertical white stripes on the torso. A crest of short black hair extends down the neck to the middle of the back, and is especially prominent on the shoulders. The slender legs are slightly lighter on their inner surfaces, with black and white markings just above the hooves. There are large black spots on the upper forelegs. The bridge of the nose is charcoal black, and there is a thin, indistinct tan-coloured chevron between the eyes. The lips are white, along with several dots along the jaw-line. A pendulous dewlap, larger in males then females, originates from between the jowls and hangs to the upper chest, with a fringe of hair on its edge. The tail is long, and ends with a dark tuft of hair. Both sexes have tightly spiralled horns, which are relatively straight. In males the horns form a wide "V" and can grow to 120 cm (3.9 ft) in length, slightly longer than on females.

18 REASONS WHY WE ALL LOVE COX
Seniors
Club legend Greg Barras sat nervously in his house at Albury as word quickly spread that his club record of 18 goals was in jeopardy. Lee Cox under the beautiful Autumn sun treated the fans to a marking and goal scoring frenzy. Cox had a near perfect game, equalling the club record, and even found time to give off four more goals to team mates in better positions.
For the first time this season Hepburn was able to score the first goal of the match, usually slow starters, the Burras showed no signs of being lethargic and had eight goals on the board by quarter time. At the main break 20 goals had been amassed with Cox kicking half of them. Cox’s sidekick, Andy McKay unusually flew under the radar, (as was Cox’s dominance) but “ Hollywood” was still close to best on ground honours with his 7 goals , superb high marking and pin point passing to Cox on the lead.
Creswick had a day they would rather forget, but to their credit, they never gave up and had some young players who had very good games. As usually is with an uneven scoreline, most of the play was forward of the centre square, in saying that Hepburn’s backline had to concentrate harder, but when the opportunity arose, Trevor Johnson, Allan Ware and coompany mopped up and created opportunities for their team mates. Daniel Smith’s big frame also posed problems for the opposition. Smith played a very versatile game, using his body to great affect so his fleet footed allies in Baker, Rees, and the James boys could get their hands on the ball.
Brian O’ Halloran, the former star rover of the 1970’s is a proud man. His oldest son Tim is doing well in his first coaching gig at Reserves level. Next in line Dan becoming a seasoned performer, but the youngest of the clan, Liam, has settled in nicely into Shane Robertson’s structure, bobbing up linking play, and showing maturity well above his years.
Next week Hepburn takes on the big improver Gordon at the Laurie Sullivan Reserve which should be a match worth watching.
Final Scores: HEPBURN 36-12-228 defeated CRESWICK 3-4-22
Goals: L. Cox 18, A. McKay 7, D. O’Halloran 3, J. James 3, J. King 2, R. Gundry, T. Johnson, D. James
Best: L. Cox, A. McKay, D. Smith, D. Rees, A. Baker, D. O’ Halloran
UNDER 18’s
For two and a half quarters Hepburn matched Creswick, but were blown away in the end by one of the premiership favorites. The highlight reel was pretty small, but Joe Malone would have featured prominently having a blinder of a game in the middle. His strong work in tight and then classy skills to finish something his younger team mates can learn from.
Tom Conroy battled hard in the ruck, certainly holding his own and Lucas Bossinger put in his best game to date. The small brigade of under 15 players who fill in each week again performed well, with Jackson Carrick and Billy Johns being rewarded kicking goals. Next week is a big game as the boys should aim to have their second win for the season.
Final Scores: HEPBURN 5-3-33 lost to CRESWICK 20-14-134
Goals: J. Malone 2, K. Frost, J. Carrick, B. Johns
Best: J. Malone, J. Liversidge, K. Frost, M. Allison, L. Bossinger, T. Conroy

Inside the Cathedral Church of St. John
The cathedral of ‘s-Hertogenbosch partly dates back to the early-13th century when a parish church dedicated to St John the Evangelist was built in the newly founded town ‘s-Hertogenbosch in the Duchy of Brabant. To reflect the town’s wealth and increased status of the church, which became a collegiate church in 1366, a new Gothic church was built from around 1370 onwards to systematically replace the Romanesque original. It only became a cathedral in 1559.
The Gothic choir was completed by 1415 and the transept by 1470. Subsequently, most of the original Romanesque church was demolished and replaced by a Gothic nave. However, money and interest ran out – the bases of the Romanesque towers were kept requiring the new nave to be shorter than originally planned. This can be seen by the narrower windows towards the western end of the nave. The Gothic church was in use by around 1530.

I was on a public footpath in a field when I came across these cows. I started snapping away when they started to come towards me. I was SURE they were quite friendly -- absolutely sure! But even while continuing to take photos, my feet took me backwards.
Luckily I didn't trip up over a cow pat, and reached the gate before they did.
I loved the face markings of this calf, and those of the sibling 00122 below. I looked for 00123, but no luck. Would be a nice thought that those were the parents on each side -- but they are both cows.
[14:27] beth Latynina winces as feels the prick of an knife but gives no more sign that it hurt after that, as blonde pigtails bouncing slightly along her cheeks just laughs softly," oh am sure there are lots of people wanting to beat you up, now problem is finding one brave enough to try"
[14:30] Shilandar Deledda lets out a soft, low chuckle, as if the words truly amused him. "I suppose thatshortens thelist down sme, doesn't it? You still o that list, blonde?" Head tilted to one sie as hand came back to side, a single step putting hm direcly in front of Beth and against her torso. CRimson gaze searched up andd own figure and over the clothing she wore, mumbling softly against the air between them. "Or have you given up on that little hobby at last?"
[14:36] beth Latynina stands her ground as you step closer till can feel the warmth of your body, head tilting backwards as those pigtails bob some more, as just gives you the sweetest of looks," now Chi do you actually think I could ever be am threat to you?" as only rocks hips slightly but otherwise down not move
[14:40] Shilandar Deledda laughed sharply and ran a hand forwards, slowly but steadily crawling over her hip. It traversed a course upwards until it foundthe purple shirt which she wore, and then started to worm its fingers between the cris crossing threads holding the front shut. Assuming she didn't move away his hand would push it aside until two fingers had captured left mound's peak, pinching it tightly between them while his words crawled out towards her. "Well I guess that depends on what you consider a ... threat. A threat to my life... maybe not. A threat to my continuedboredom? Well, now that's a different matter isn't it?" The rock of her hips brought a shift from his form, not moving away but keeping their bodies in the same position, pushed together from chest to waist.
[14:47] beth Latynina blue eyes widen as feels the drifting of your hand travel along her purple sweater, heart beginning to pound faster so as not to show any fear even as you grip the soft mound of breast in your hand, slight trembling to slender frame as she thinks not wanting to anger you, hips make the tiniest of rotation backwards as she laughs softly," am sure there are lots of people around to temper your boredom Chi"
[14:50] Shilandar Deledda nods in agreeance to her words, letting a slow grin crawl up his lips. "Of course there are. But are they all any fun?" While stillt hose words drifted no further than her ears his body shifted closer, free hand now traveling up as if ot join the first. Where it hadp reviously stopped though the other took up pace, moving past her other breast completely. With a sharp twist and tug on that clothed nub his other hand's clawed glove fond its way to her neck, making just the faintest of puncture marks should she not step backwards away from him. "Think you'd be any fun, Beth? Or are you the type to be broken and discarded after just one or two uses?"
[14:56] beth Latynina stills as blue eyes dilate to your words while feeling the roaming of other hand, as the first still holds gripping along that soft mound, till she would feel the prick along slim neck as she arches shoulders backward from those sharp tools, expression of sweetness maintained to pretty face at your whispered question," oh am fum at least thats what my husband thinks"

Went off out, across the Solway, on a convoy of tractors, to check that the boundaries of the Royal Burgh of Annan remained intact. This is part of the tradition known as Riding the Marches. There is a huge stone out there, called The Alterstane that marks not only the boundary of the Royal Burgh but also lies on the border between Scotland and England.
Some years the stone is visble but this year it was buried beneath the shifting sands of the treacherous Solway Firth. Luckily we had the help of some local fishermen including Big Spike and George, who drove our tractor, and the location of the Alterstane was soon marked using a bit of a broken umbrella and a wee flag and the boundary was reported to be intact by Cornet Bob, his Lass and the Standard Bearer. She has a big flag.
The importance of marking the boundary cannot be underestimated as many years ago, even before Boboftheglen started the school, there was a nasty incursion into our territory. Some scallywags from a wee village across the water nipped across the sands and nicked the church bell from Dornock Kirk. I don't know if the bell was ever recovered but it just shows what young lads are capable of when they are on the electrc soup. Nowadays they just dae the raft race.
It was a lovely day and we were waving to a wee wumin who was in paddling on the English side and obviously wondering what we were all doing. We last heard her shouting, as she ran away "Tomo hide the bell -I told you they would be back for it "
