HMS BROCKLESBY (M33)
I've included my Nam figures as well just as they fit better in this collection than going backwards and including them with my ww2 figures. I've also put a few of my Police SWAT figures in the photo although they are not an official military force. Again just as they fit with modern figures.
I haven't included my UN figures in the Photo...I have 20 of them. I'm still deciding what weapons they will have and I got lazy after setting all these up as it took a fair while to get them out of storage and decide who had what weapon with what I had on hand to give them.
I'm not seeing as many great modern builds as there was just a few years back..maybe the best time came and went although I hope not.

Rotterdam is the first navy visit since Covid-19 restrictions in March 2020, another sign of times returning to normal.
Arriving on Saturday 2nd October, berthing at Cruise 18 beside the East Link toll bridge, at 166 meters, it provided great photo opportunities of this gigantic Landing Platform Dock (LPD) amphibious warfare ship, its two landing craft were on display alongside. The ship also features a large helicopter deck & internal hangar.

Hey guys!
I decided to do some modding(I know) and here is what happened!
The M4 has a 3x magnifier(from ARC), Hollow sight(from HAC), suppressor(from spy pistol), and foregrip (from XMP).
I also added a pouch from an LCV onto the rails, which, in my opinion looks kind of like an IR laser.
I put a small pouch and backpack from the new webgear onto the front and back of a PCV and added a stun grenade to the back.
Please bombard me with questions if you are curious about anything on the fig!
C&C appreciated!
God bless!

I have quite a few more fig combos but didn't include them as it would give away what my next few Nam builds are ; )
A lot of people like to follow WW2 or Modern Military, where as the Vietnam war is something many want to forget or pass over, it was one of the most costly wars for the US and spanned not only years but different presidents and whole changes in culture. It's something that should be taught and something people should learn about. Nam vets get a rougher deal then WW2 vets, and it's stupid, they were no less heroes then the ww2 guys IMO. In many cases the people signing up believed what they were told by the government about communism taking over the whole world and wanted to help stop it or they had no choice and were drafted, heck many went because other family and friends had gone and wanted to do whatever they could to help. There are no 100% heroes or villains in life or war and many of the Nam vets on both sides went through Hell on earth, they got my respect.
I put a filter on the pic to try get a similar look of a photograph from that actual time period.
Navy seal members wait for the enemy to get off their boats and onto the beach but they will never see it coming it's a massacre in waiting. happy 4th guys also you would never guess where took it. not California or florida . it's Indiana or Indiana dunes . it on the south tip of Lake Michigan. great place exactly like the east or west coast but with no salt . I recommend to go for anyone in the Midwest.

Here is the second making of video for this picture ->
www.flickr.com/photos/shobrick/44550166495
The video is showing 4 main stages :
- The building of the set pieces, the buildings and the neon billboards.
- The costumization and the posing of the minifigs.
- The lighting process (how I built the light).
- The compliation of all the pictures, that shows the research for the best composition, lighting and live effects. And the final result image.
The main idea is to get everything in camera on the set and not to create anything in post-production as it will look less organic. Just like in movies, you try to get as much as live effects as you can.
I hope you enjoyed the behind the scenes video, please don't hesitate if you have any questions on the creating process and don't hesitate to leave a comment if you think that's awesome ! ;-)

The U.S.S. Michael Murphy is the 62nd ship of the Arleigh Burke class of guided missile destroyers in the United States Navy. She is named for Medal of Honor recipient Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy (1976–2005) who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions during Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan in June 2005. Her contract was awarded on 13 September 2002, the ship's keel was laid down on 18 June 2010, and on 1 October 2012 the destroyer arrived in New York for her commissioning, which occurred on 6 October. On 16 October 2012 Michael Murphy arrived in Barbados for her first international port of call and on 21 November, she finally arrived at her home port of Naval Station Pearl Harbor, part of Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam (where the photo above was taken).
Lt. Michael Patrick Murphy was born in Smithtown, N.Y., and grew up in the New York City commuter town of Patchogue, N.Y. on Long Island. Murphy grew up active in sports and attended Patchogue's Saxton Middle School. In high school, Murphy graduated from Patchogue-Medford High School in 1994. He then attended Penn State University. In 1998, he graduated with a double major from Penn State in political science and psychology. Following graduation, he was accepted to several law schools, but instead he changed course. Murphy decided to attend SEAL mentoring sessions at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point with his sights on becoming a U.S. Navy SEAL. Murphy accepted an appointment to the Navy's Officer Candidate School at Pensacola, Fla., in September 2000. Murphy was commissioned as an Ensign in the Navy on Dec. 13, 2000, and began Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training in Coronado, Calif. In January 2001, he graduated with Class 236. BUD/S is a six-month training course and the first step to becoming a Navy SEAL.
Upon graduation from BUD/S, he attended the Army Jump School, SEAL Qualification Training and SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) school. Lt. Murphy earned his SEAL Trident and checked on board SDV Team (SDVT) 1 in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii in July of 2002. In October of 2002, he deployed with Foxtrot Platoon to Jordan as the liaison officer for Exercise Early Victor. Following his tour with SDVT-1, Lt. Murphy was assigned to Special Operations Central Command in Florida and deployed to Qatar in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. After returning from Qatar, Lt. Murphy was deployed to the Horn of Africa, Djibouti, to assist in the operational planning of future SDV missions.
In early 2005, Murphy was assigned to SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team 1 as assistant officer in charge of Alpha Platoon and deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. On June 28, 2005, Lt. Murphy was the officer-in-charge of a four-man SEAL element in support of Operation Red Wing tasked with finding a key anti-coalition militia commander near Asadabad, Afghanistan. Shortly after inserting into the objective area, the SEALs were spotted by three goat herders who were initially detained and then released. It is believed the goat herders immediately reported the SEALs’ presence to Taliban fighters. A fierce gun battle ensued on the steep face of the mountain between the SEALs and a much larger enemy force. Despite the intensity of the firefight and suffering grave gunshot wounds himself, Murphy is credited with risking his own life to save the lives of his teammates. Murphy, intent on making contact with headquarters, but realizing this would be impossible in the extreme terrain where they were fighting, unhesitatingly and with complete disregard for his own life moved into the open, where he could gain a better position to transmit a call to get help for his men.
Moving away from the protective mountain rocks, he knowingly exposed himself to increased enemy gunfire. This deliberate and heroic act deprived him of cover and made him a target for the enemy. While continuing to be fired upon, Murphy contacted the SOF Quick Reaction Force at Bagram Air Base and requested assistance. He calmly provided his unit’s location and the size of the enemy force while requesting immediate support for his team. At one point, he was shot in the back causing him to drop the transmitter. Murphy picked it back up, completed the call and continued firing at the enemy who was closing in. Severely wounded, Lt. Murphy returned to his cover position with his men and continued the battle.
As a result of Murphy’s call, an MH-47 Chinook helicopter, with eight additional SEALs and eight Army Night Stalkers aboard, was sent in as part of the QRF to extract the four embattled SEALs. As the Chinook drew nearer to the fight, a rocket-propelled grenade hit the helicopter, causing it to crash and killing all 16 men aboard. On the ground and nearly out of ammunition, the four SEALs, continued to fight. By the end of a two-hour gunfight that careened through the hills and over cliffs, Murphy, Gunner’s Mate 2nd Class (SEAL) Danny Dietz and Sonar Technician 2nd Class (SEAL) Matthew Axelson had fallen. An estimated 35 Taliban were also dead. The fourth SEAL, Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class (SEAL) Marcus Luttrell, was blasted over a ridge by a rocket-propelled grenade and knocked unconscious. Though severely wounded, the fourth SEAL and sole survivor, Luttrell, was able to evade the enemy for nearly a day; after which local nationals came to his aide, carrying him to a nearby village where they kept him for three more days. Luttrell was rescued by U.S. Forces on July 2, 2005.
By his undaunted courage, intrepid fighting spirit and inspirational devotion to his men in the face of certain death, Lt. Murphy was able to relay the position of his unit, an act that ultimately led to the rescue of Luttrell and the recovery of the remains of the three who were killed in the battle.
Lt. Murphy was buried at Calverton National Cemetery less than 20 miles from his childhood home. Lt. Murphy’s other personal awards include the Purple Heart, Combat Action Ribbon, the Joint Service Commendation Medal, the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Ribbon and National Defense Service Medal.
