I didn't like my old entry, so I came up with this guy.
Ugh, this pic makes the sleeves look weird. They aren't like that in real life.
I'm really happy with the Multicam, which was inspired by KalSkirata.
Inspirations added.
Comment if you fave please.

Schweiz / Berner Oberland - Kleine Scheidegg
In the background you can see the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.
Im Hintergrund sieht man die Eiger, Mönch und Jungfrau.
The Kleine Scheidegg (English: Little Scheidegg) is a mountain pass at an elevation of 2,061 m (6,762 ft), situated below and between the Eiger and Lauberhorn peaks in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. The name means "minor watershed", as it only divides the two arms of the Lütschine river, both converging at Zweilütschinen, while the nearby Grosse Scheidegg divides the Lütschine from the Rychenbach stream.
The pass is traversed by a walking trail and the Wengernalp Railway, which both connect the villages of Grindelwald with Lauterbrunnen, passing through Wengen between the pass summit and Lauterbrunnen. In winter, Kleine Scheidegg is the centre of the ski area around Grindelwald and Wengen. In summer, it is a popular hiking destination, and is one of the passes crossed by the Alpine Pass Route between Sargans and Montreux. The Jungfrau Marathon, a mountain race that takes place every year in early September, ends at Kleine Scheidegg.
The Kleine Scheidegg railway station is sited at the summit of the pass. Besides being an intermediate stop on the Wengernalp Railway, the station is also the lower terminus of the Jungfrau Railway, which climbs steeply through tunnels inside the Eiger and Mönch mountains up to its terminal at the Jungfraujoch, the highest point reachable by rail in Europe. Both railways operate year-round, and any passengers travelling to the Jungfraujoch must change trains at Kleine Scheidegg. The pass is linked to the summit of the Lauberhorn and to Arvengarten, on the approach to the pass from Grindelwald, by chairlifts.
There are also several restaurants and hotels at the summit of the pass, including the historic Hotel Bellevue des Alpes that dates back to 1840.
History
Prior to the coming of the railways and the introduction of tourism to the area, the twin passes of Kleine Scheidegg and Grosse Scheidegg provided access for local livestock and dairy farmers to the important export route to Italy over the Grimsel Pass. With the coming of tourism and the opening of the first mountain hotels in the 1830s, the transit of the Kleine Scheidegg became busier, and more important than the Grosse Scheidegg.
In 1840, Christian Seiler built the inn Zur Gemse on the summit of the pass. Guests and supplies reached the inn by mule train over the pass tracks, and the inn grew into the internationally famous Hotel Bellevue. The Wengernalp co-operative opened the competing Hotel des Alps alongside the Hotel Bellevue, but sold out to the Seiler family, thus creating the merged Hotel Bellevue des Alps.
In order to satisfy tourist demand, construction of the Wengernalp Railway across the pass commenced in 1891, and the line opened in 1893, as a steam hauled summer only service. The line was electrified in 1909/10, and year-round operation started in 1925 (to Lauterbrunnen) and 1960 (to Grindelwald). Construction of the Jungfrau Railway started in 1896, and it opened in stages from 1898 to 1912. Since the 1930s, Kleine Scheidegg has been the base of expeditions on the north face of the Eiger.
Geography
Kleine Scheidegg is among the most celebrated mountain passes in the Swiss Alps because of its position just north of the point where the Bernese Alps makes a salient angle, whose apex is the Eiger. From there, a series of high peaks rise in line towards the northeast, on the left side of the trail that follows a direct route from Meiringen, southwest across the Grosse Scheidegg, to Kleine Scheidegg. On the south side of the apex at the Eiger, the still higher summits of the Mönch, Jungfrau, Gletscherhorn, and Mittaghorn follow in succession from north to south.
Hidden by the Eiger from the vantage point of Grindelwald, the Mönch and Jungfrau break upon the traveller at Kleine Scheidegg in full grandeur, rising from the narrow gorge of the Trümmletental. Three comparatively large glaciers, with several minor accumulations of ice, are found in the hollows and on the shelving ledges of the three peaks that rise above the Trümmletental. The Eiger Glacier lies in the recess between the Eiger and the Mönch. This is separated by a huge projecting buttress of the latter mountain from the Guggi Glacier. Farther on is the Giessen Glacier, formed, at a higher level than the two last, on a shelf of the northwest side of the Jungfrau.
Politically, the pass at Kleine Scheidegg marks the boundary between the municipalities of Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald, both of which are within the canton of Bern.
In popular culture
The film Kleine Scheidegg (1937) was set on the eponymous pass, directed by Richard Schweizer, and starring Susanne Baader, Leopold Biberti and Emil Hegetschweiler.
In the summer of 1974, Clint Eastwood and his cast and crew stayed at the Hotel Bellevue des Alpes at Kleine Scheidegg while filming The Eiger Sanction (1975). Several scenes were filmed in and around the hotel.
The 2008 film North Face, about Toni Kurz and Andreas Hinterstoisser's 1936 attempt to climb the Eiger north face, was shot to a great extent at the Hotel Bellevue des Alpes. Footage of the mountain's profile was also shot from Kleine Scheidegg's vantage point, though the climbing scenes were created mostly using computer generated imagery and green screen technology.
The hiking track in the area is the basis for the fictional Eiger Nordwand tracks in the racing video games Gran Turismo HD Concept, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Gran Turismo 5, and Gran Turismo 6.

Die Kleine Scheidegg ist die Passhöhe (2061 m ü. M.) zwischen Eiger (3967 m ü. M.) und Lauberhorn (2472 m ü. M.) im Berner Oberland in der Schweiz, die Grindelwald mit Lauterbrunnen verbindet. Auf der Kleinen Scheidegg befinden sich Hotels, Restaurants, Skilifte sowie der Bahnhof der beiden Zahnradbahnen Wengernalpbahn und Jungfraubahn.
Die Wengernalpbahn führt von Lauterbrunnen und Wengen über die Kleine Scheidegg nach Grindelwald. Die Jungfraubahn führt von dort durch Eiger und Mönch hinauf zum Jungfraujoch. Erstere wurde im Jahr 1893 fertiggestellt. Im Sommer 1896 wurde mit dem Bau der Jungfraubahn begonnen. 1898 wurde der Abschnitt bis zum Bahnhof Eigergletscher in Betrieb genommen; 1912 wurde die ganze neun Kilometer lange Strecke bis zum Jungfraujoch in Betrieb genommen. Der Tourismus hatte sich aber schon vor dem Bau der Bahnen entwickelt: Seit dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts besuchten Reisende auf Grand Tour das Berner Oberland und wanderten über die Kleine Scheidegg. Ein erstes Hotel für Touristen wurde 1840 erbaut. Mitte der 1920er Jahre waren die Hotels erstmals auch den Winter über geöffnet. 1941 wurde der Skilift aufs Lauberhorn erbaut.
«Die Kleine Scheidegg wird alljährlich von ungezählten Touristenscharen besucht, welchen so schon lebhaften Verkehr die Eröffnung der Jungfraubahn noch bedeutend gesteigert hat.»
– Geographisches Lexikon der Schweiz (1906)
Die Kleine Scheidegg ist bekannt für das eindrückliche Panorama mit dem Dreigestirn Eiger, Mönch (4110 m ü. M.) und Jungfrau (4158 m ü. M.) und zahlreichen Gletschern. Zudem bietet sich hier eine gute Einsicht in die Eiger-Nordwand, um Bergsteiger in der Wand mit dem Fernglas zu verfolgen.
Im Winter ist die Kleine Scheidegg – zusammen mit dem Männlichen – Mittelpunkt eines ausgedehnten Skigebiets rund um Grindelwald und Wengen. Am oberhalb der Scheidegg gelegenen Lauberhorn befindet sich der Start des bekannten Lauberhornrennens.
Seit 1993 ist die Kleine Scheidegg jedes Jahr im September Ziel des Jungfrau-Marathons, der in Interlaken startet. Von 1998 bis 2020 wurde auf der Kleinen Scheidegg jeweils zum Abschluss der Wintersaison das Snowpenair mit bis zu 10.000 Zuschauern veranstaltet. Eine Einigung bezüglich einer Einsprache gegen den Bau der V-Bahn sah vor, das Festival nicht länger durchzuführen.

In the harsh deserts of the Middle East, one Desert Operative was morally forced to go back to rescue his brother who was taken by an extremist group.
Each Kommando Spezialkräfte (KSK) operative was handpicked from the ranks of Germany's Bundeswehr and trained to combat counter-terrorism, counter-insurgency, hostage rescue and many other threats.
This Lego variant of the elite special forces military unit is given a dark grey camo which I really like.
Hand painted and it took me 2 weeks!
Please fave, comment and enjoy!

I'm back from a fun weekend at Brickcon and met a bunch of people including all of the Op.M crew, Lego Junkie, Ghost Soldier, Justin Pyne, and many more. This figure was heavily inspired by Ghost Soldier's awesome photography.
Remember how a while ago, I said this guy was probably my favorite fig?(www.flickr.com/photos/customizedlego/8007890683/in/photos...) Well scratch that. Definitely this guy.
Inspired by Fritz G.
Title inspired by the Co-Operative's ( Glenn Tilbrook + Nine Below Zero ) version of this old classic ( www.bing.com/videos/search?q=the+co-operative+someday+i%2... ) .
Nine Below Zero were so underrated.
The Piltown Co-Operative Agriculture and Dairy Society looks like it was well up and running in May of 1925 almost 100 years ago. The Co-Ops made a massive contribution to the development of rural Ireland and conditions for the people. One wonders what was happening that prompted them to commission this photograph from the Poole Studio?

Co-operative Sundries Manufacturing Society offices on Greenside Lane, Droylsden. This was known as the Beehive Works and a hive with industrious bees is represented on the central gable. It has proved tricky to find what the sundries were, but after a bit of research it has become clear that in the early 1900s it included mincemeat and mixed peel in barrels. The was also a reference to the manufacture of syrup of violets.

I changed her hair a little, wanted it to be more blonde and less red so I tried dying it with watered down paint, it actually worked pretty well but it did turn her hair a little more solid, but in a way that works too helps keep it from going all over the place.
Nice little table scrap i made in 15 minutes. Next on my list to upload is another mech might be tomorrow. If you want a breakdown enough just ask and i might do a three step photo but it's simple enough to reverse engineer. Enjoy!
The former Co-operative Society building on Lugsdale Road in Widnes was built in 1905 and announces its ownership in red terracotta.
This used to be a shop, but is now a beauty parlor.
The co-operative movement started in Rochdale, and you can read more about it here:

It's an interesting and important story that is still relevant.

The Arabian Peninsula Royal Army was quick to rebuild after the Events. Being one of the least affected areas in the Middle East, most of the country was spared (although large portions of the country were now underwater). With money from the remaining oil fields (which are still largely intact) and the support of private benefactors, SCUBA gear has been developed by the APRA for it's special elite forces (around 500 personnel total).
These Operatives are essentially the APRA's equivalent to US Navy Seals, and whether they work alone or in squads, they can be a threat to any country - they would rather die for their own country than risk national security.

I'd appreciate some feedback on this fig, I'll have some more standards up once I get some Minifig Cat in a few days.
Comments, feedback, and faves are appreciated!
For many years the CWS/SCWS published an annual yearbook detailing the progress and develoments of the Co-operative movement at home and abroad as well as detailing various events of national and international importance. The hardback volume also includes a selection of images of pertinent scenes and in 1934 this appears.
It shows the exterior of the CWS's 'Federation Bicycle Works" in KIng's Road, Tyseley, Birmingham that produced bikes for both affliated Co-operative Socities use as well as for retail sale under the 'Federation' brand. Situated in the heart of the country's 'metal bashing' industries where many other steel tube and bike manufacturers were based the works also manufactured prams - baby carriages under the 'Queen of the Road' brand - and toys seen int he carefully positioned billboard. Somehow one hundred lads have been assembled to take the photograph of the carrier bikes produced for the Manchester & Salford Co-operative Societies retail butchery department and some of you may recall these once familiar sights - the bike with the large wicker basket and pannier over the front wheel. They were used for home deliveries in days when home refrigeration was rare and meat was required as a daily delivery from the butchers.
The Co-Op Store:
The Petersburg Co-Operative Society Ltd was formed in 1906 and intially opened from the Diamond Jubilee Buidling until 1932 when it relocated to this large premises. The Co-Op Store continued operating here until it closed on the 15th of September 1965.
The Co-Op Store was a general store and stocked just about anything. Their motto printed in the member's book was "Let each man find his own in all men's good and work together in noble brotherhood." At one stage, the Co-Op had more than 650 members and traditionally held a social and dance every year for them.
The corner section was built in 1897 and originally had a verandah on the front and ide. The section alongside the Capitol Theatre was built in 1906 and was taken over by the Co-Op because of the need for more room. The original timber mullioned windows are still extant.
The mural on the side of the building depicts a scene from the Store in about 1935.
The Capitol Theatre:
The Capitol Theatre was built in 1926 by Messrs Silver and Ollrich.
Prior to this, pictures were shown in the old town hall but with only 350 seats it became inadequate for a prosperous town.
Messrs H. W. and Thos Rees, tiring of waiting for a new town hall, decided to build their own theatre. It was officially opened on the 15th of May 1926 by Mr A. R. G. Hawke, local Member of Parliament and later Premier of Western Australia.
It had seating for 1020 people and included a very large stage. The two round leadlight windows near the top of the building incorporate the letters "CT" (Capitol Theatre).
Silent movies were shown, and live shows were also featured. The "Talkies" were introduced in 1930. The latest film releases came by train from Broken Hill, so Peterborough was the first town in South Australia to see them.
Following massive restoration efforts, the building was re-opened as a cafe in 2011.
Peterborough, South Australia:
Peterborough was part of the Eldoratrilla Run from 1851 until the Hundred of Yongala was broken up for selection in 1871. Farm land was taken up in 1875 by a group of German settlers; Peter Doecke (after whom the town was named), Johann Koch, and Herman Rohde.
In 1880, while the railway was under construction from Port Pirie, Koch surveyed his land into town allotments and named it Petersburgh. The coast railway arrived from Port Pirie through Jamestown in February 1881, and the inland line from Burra through Terowie connected with it in May 1881, so within months of its foundation Petersburg - as the Post Office and South Australian Railways insisted on spelling it - became a major railway junction.
The town rose to prominence very quickly, and has remained the major population centre in the eastern half of the region. From its early development, Petersburg became a classic railway town in layout - like Gladstone and Quorn - with its main street parallel to the railway, and its principal hotels, banks, and commercial buildings clustered opposite the railway station. Petersburg's growth was assisted by the extension of the railway to Broken Hill in 1887, and by the construction of the Transcontinental Railway to Perth and the
Ghan line to Alice Springs in the early twentieth century, making it a strategic hub of the national railway network.
Under Railways Commissioner William Webb, a large railway maintenance workshop was built at Petersburg, and a suburb of railway workers housing went up at the western end of town, using innovative cast concrete construction techniques developed by Adelaide builder Walter Torode.
In 1918 the Nomenclature Committee renamed the town Peterborough, oblivious to the irony that its German founder had originally given it an English name, and it had only been
made to look German by a bureaucratic mis-spelling. During the 1930s depression, a gold crushing battery was built at Peterborough to encourage local mining. The town has lost most of its railway function since the 1970s, but remains an important regional centre.

Hello Flickr! I am new to Flickr, but here are some minifigures that I made a while ago... Helmet design credit (oil can) goes to Jasbrick. Enjoy!

Let me take you back in time, way back before hyper and supermarkets. Way back before packaged and brand names. The earliest grocery shops where goods where sold loose and you asked for every thing. This is a reconstruction of an early Cooperative society shop in the Beamish Museum. Coperative shops (co-op or co-ey) where owned by the customers who also shared in the profits. The society was formed in 1963 when the Co-operative Wholesale Industrial and Provident Society Limited was launched i n Manchester UK. One of the key reasons for forming the society was to ensure that the goods sold where unadulterated and pure. It was common practice to cut flour or other loose goods with cheap additives.
Co-operative House, opened on 2 January 1897 as the headquarters of the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society. Glasgow's very own statue of liberty too
I hope they won't mind but I borrowed this from the recent youtube video about the new/old Co-op logo (one of my photos is in their video so I didn't think they'd mind!)
At the top of the former bakery building in Sutton Road, City of Southend-On-Sea, Essex.
The beehive symbol with bees buzzing around it was first used by the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers and went on to be used by other co-operative societies. It is supposed to represent values and principles. The wording on the plaque has the date 1921 and says that H.E. Tufton was the architect and surveyor. He appears to have worked in those roles for the Co-operative movement.
The building now converted to flats with a small convenience store.
