I wasn't really happy with the D4-K4's body, so I made it wider and changed the arms. I think it looks a lot better now. (Side shot when public. I didn't change the back.)
[Desc. pulled from original photo.]
As with every other frame in their arsenal, the Golden Suns like their heavy weapons platforms highly mobile. While this might limit how big of a gun one could put into this role, the D4-K4 custom frame pushes the limit of how much gun you can fling through the air (and still shoot it when it lands).
The problem with sticking large guns on frames with jump packs is the weight of the gun and the support systems it requires. If you put too much weight on the frame, it simply crumples when it lands. If you try to compensate with gentler landings the frame is open to enemy fire during the slow descent.
The Golden Suns have solved most of this problem by making a frame that can withstand the strain of high-thrust, high-impact "jumps" (with some pilots claiming that you could "drop 'em from orbit and scare the [expletive] out of the target"). The massive legs and overbuilt knee joints paired with wide feet and the "largest rockets we could find two of" allow the D4-K4 to literally leap across battlefields and put fire from it's coilgun or autocannon wherever it's needed (or deemed to make the biggest explosions).
This unusual looking trailer is a fully mobile Sheep Dip. I got this shot in the yard of a local farm.
Selected for this subject as I doubt anyone else will post one of these ;o)

It's wonderful how technology frees us up to work anywhere anytime and maybe for ourselves rather than others. There are responsibilities too, new boundaries that have to be drawn, consideration of work / life balance. This shot, taken on a Saturday, caught my eye as the striking looking gentleman was focusing very intensely on his laptop. He could have been on Facebook for all I know (or Flickr!), but in affluent Mayfair it made me wonder about the lifestyle of the locals.
#5 and the last in my mini series of photos taken a week ago.
I took this shot through the window of the cafe, using my legacy 50mm Pentax lens on a Micro 4/3 camera with an adapter. The lens is taken off my old 35mm SLR camera.

1 of the 3 Mobiles in the SHADO A.R.T. team (Access, Recovery, Transportation).
A Crack team of 3 Mobiles based in the Highlands (Scotland, UK).
Here is the Recovery Vehicle B3192 showing its heavy duty lifting and recovery gear.
Converted from a standard SHADO Mobile with 2 independent chain hooks, on board Workshop behind the cab area. This is a serious piece of SHADO kit used when nothing else can get near to wreckage. Numbered B3192. B = Britain, 3 = Base No.3 (Scottish Highland Area), 192 Vehicle service number.
Diecast vehicle converted from a standard Dinky Toys Shado Mobile by Dave Crittenden using etched metal and plastic parts with some finishing & minor detailing and lettering by myself. This is a one off Code 3 model.
Photos of the other 2 vehicles (Access and Transportation) will follow soon.
In Japan, the mobile phone is like an extension of the right arm. People rarely look up from them in public.

Exercise Cobra Warrior On the Monday following the end of the Cobra Warrior exercises, I made a final visit to RAF Waddington to try and capture the departure of the popular Indian Air Force Dassault Mirages, and I wasn’t disappointed this time, although it was still a bit touch-and-go as they say 😀.
I headed out to the airfield bright and early (for me at any rate :) at around 8.30 a.m. and as I approached Bracebridge Heath I had a bit of déjà vu feeling as, yet again, I was rather beaten to it when I saw one of the Indian Air Force Boeing C-17s gracefully lift into the air, and make a low swoop over the village! I could have got a great video if I’d been just ten minutes earlier, as they had switched to runway 02 departures and the C-17 fairly filled the sky.
Nothing else much moved for a while, except the mobile control tower, which had planted itself at the end of runway 20 until someone must have informed them that they had actually switched runways 😅 I grabbed this short video as it lumbered off down to the other end of the airfield.
Does anyone have any history about this interesting vehicle - is there such a type at every RAF airfield?
Exercise Cobra Warrior is a biannual exercise run by the Royal Air Force and is designed to exercise participants in high intensity large force tactical training.

Low-res shot taken with an iPhone 6s iPhone photography - apologies for the poor quality of some of these phone photos - sometimes they're nice and sharp - sometimes they're all pixelated and not up to my usual standard. The videos are better :)

Here's a version of 7249 Mobile Crane shrunk to Micropolis scale. It's kinda big for a Micropolis vehicle, but it's the smallest way I can think of to include the support legs. At four studs wide, it would fill a Micropolis street.
If you like cranes you should really look at Steebles' wonderful Micropolis construction site.
