Ugh, the one thing I hate about brinklink is that some orders take inexplicably long to reach me, the last order I made for my last big buidl spree came 2 weeks after the rest, all the order were placed a month ago!
Anyways, fianlly got the parts to finish this, and thus here it is.
For those just tuning in this was based off of Armored Core V's most recent Trailer

Physical characteristics
Medium-sized, somewhat skulking shrike, with adult almost totally pied except for chestnut rear crown and hindneck but immature intermediate in appearance between immature Lesser Grey Shrike, and red tailed shrikes, particularly Red-backed Shrike. Male has center of forehead, forecrown, lower lore, and broad patch around eye and over ear-coverts black, with small white spot on rear crown, nape, and uper mantle. Rest of mantle brown-black, with cream-white scapulars which form on sides of back most conspicuous patch of all shrikes, back grey, rump and upper tail-coverts white. Tail black, with fringes and tis increasingly white from center to edge but not particularly bold. Wings brown-black, with quite broad white patch across base of primaries and white tips to tertials and secondaries. Sexes dissimilar, little seasonal variation.
Habitat
Breeds in west Palerctic in middle and lower middle latitudes mainly in Mediterranean climatic zone, but extending in west into temperate zone, and in S-E to edge of steppe and desert. On plain and lower slopes of large open valleys and requiring fairly tall trees, these must be well spaced in open woodland, garden, or meadows, with plenty of room between lower branches and ground, which should either be bare or carry only very low plant cover. Also occupies roadside trees, woodland margins near cultivation, and parks or hedges with large thorny bushes.
Other details
Lanius senator is a widespread summer visitor to much of southern and central Europe, which constitutes >50% of its global breeding range. Its European breeding population is large (>480,000 pairs), but underwent a large decline between 1970-1990. Although some populations?notably in south-east Europe?were stable or increased during 1990-2000, the species continued to decline across most of its European range, including in its Spanish stronghold, and underwent a moderate decline (>10%) overall.
Feeding
Mainly insects and other invertebrates, principally beetles, occasionally small vertebrates. Perches on exposed look-out from which drops or glides down onto ground prey or makes sallying flights after flying insects.
Conservation
This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence 30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size is extremely large, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. [conservation status from birdlife.org]
Breeding
Breeding starts May to mid July in Germany, mid May to early July in France, late April-May in Spain, early May to late June in Greece, late April to late May in Algeria and late March to mid June in Israel. Nest site always in trees, especially fruit trees and olive in fork of trunk. Nest is a strong cup of leafy plant material and roots lined with wool, hair, fine roots, cobwebs, moss, and lichen. 5-6 eggs are laid, incubation lasts 14-15 days performed by female, rarely also by male.
Migration
Migratory, wintering in sub-Saharan Africa north of Equator, and in small numbers (perhaps regular) in southern Arabia. Autumn movement probably broad-front in south to south-west direction- recorded in smaller numbers than in spring, presumably due chiefly to unbroken flights. Spring movement conspicuous throughout North Africa and Mediterranean, slower progression probably contributing to impression of seasonal difference in numbers. Leaves European breeding grounds in second half of August or beginning of September (July to early October), adults before juveniles. Arrives in winter quarters August-October, mainly September. Departure from winter quarters protracted, February-May. Passage through Mediterranean area late March to early June, with main arrival on northern breeding grounds around mid-May. Annual vagrant to Britain and Ireland, with average c. 14 birds (4-24) per year- peak period late May or early June and late August or early September. Annual vagrant in Netherlands, especially May-June with some August-September.

The wooden bridge at my local nature reserve is usually populated with many gulls by late afternoon, causing squabbles and frantic activity. Generally, the gulls will tolerate humans walking up to them to within a safe distance and then they will all depart

Vests for my armies in the vitrine.
Also got the Hatchet as prototype! :)
Thanks GIBrick for the great service (as always, amazing!) Missing one rus OD green helmet tough.
Actually, this is my first order for Lego (or Lego stuff) other than from Lego.com.
I ordered 4 M1 helmets, a G36 (cause i love it), an M4, a PSG1, 4 M67 grenades, a World War Weapons Pack (for my History class), and my free weapon was a silver AK. Brickarms rocks!

“Sky what are you doing with the man’s timewaster machine?”
“I heard him say that he could order food on it and it would be delivered. I thought we could order our honey that way Posh.”
“Do you know how to use it and what to do?”
“Not yet but it can’t be difficult if the man does it.”
“I don’t know he does know Sky for I haven’t seen it deliver any food yet. It seems to me that it just shows you pictures of things and you can’t eat pictures.”
“I know Bertie and that is worrying me a little bit. Look I managed to find this shop and it says that I’m in a queue and I’m number 4,782 in line. I can’t see any queue and I think you probably would Bertie if there were more than 3. Posh is 4,782 more than 3?”
“Yes, a lot more Sky, and the reason you can’t see them is because they are in a queue on the computer in their homes.”
“Oh! In their homes you say?” Sky said shaking his head in bewilderment. “This place must sell the bestest honey on the planet then if all those people are waiting to buy some.”
“Sky if all those people are in front of you then I can’t see there being any left for you when you finally get to be served.” Said Bertie.
“Hey, you’re right Bertie. This has been most enlightening for me as I had no idea that all those people were buying our honey. It’s no wonder those small buzzy things are going crazy flying about trying to keep up with demand. You’d think they would recruit other buzzy things to help them.”
“Maybe they do Sky. Why did the picture go when you jumped on that place with all those lettery things on it?”
“Not sure Bertie, although being of a technical mind I’d say it is broken. Something to do with gremlins so I’ve heard the man say. If I give it a boost with this strange thing, he calls a mouse, that seems to do something.”
“A mouse? That is nothing like a mouse Sky.”
“I know that Posh, and Bertie knows that, but the man thinks that is what it is, so let us not disillusion him too much.”
“True, I do so agree, it is better not to tell him he’d never understand it anyway so just say nothing and pretend he is right. Mind, I’d like to see what he thinks a mouse-trap looks like. You know Bertie I do sometimes wonder about the man and his kind, for what is supposed to be the master race, I don’t see much logic, intelligence or common sense there.”
“No Posh, best just to humour them and give them a cuddle when they need it.” Said Bertie smiling sadly.
“I think I’ll leave this ordering on line and get my honey by a more direct route that doesn’t have queues that nobody can see.”
“You mean you’ll go to the shop and buy it Sky?”
“I may do, well when Posh runs out I suppose I’ll have to. Posh did you know you only have five jars left?”
“No, make that four Posh.” Said Bertie licking his lips.

Status: Widespread summer visitor from April to September to uplands and scrubland throughout Ireland. Scarce passage in spring and autumn mainly to eastern and southern coasts.
Conservation Concern: Amber-listed in Ireland due to a decline in the breeding population. The European population is currently assessed as Secure.
Identification: The same size as Robin and Stonechat and broadly resembles the latter species. Frequently uses exposed perches like Stonechat. In all plumages has a grey-brown rump, with a broad black stripe at the base of the tail. The white base to the tail is not obvious. Adult males have a dark head with a broad white supercilium. The back is streaked brown and black. The underparts (throat and breast) are a rich orange-buff. In flight, shows two large white patches on the wing. Adult females are similar to adult male Whinchats, but have a buffy-brown head and beige supercilium. The underparts also tend top be less extensively orange. Juveniles resemble adult females, but have some dark spotting on the breast.
Similar Species: Stonechat
Call: A soft "yu-tek-tek". Sings mainly at night and so infrequently heard. A distinctive series of whistled notes and rasping sounds, intermixed with mimicked calls and songs of other bird species.
Diet: Insects and other invertebrates.
Breeding: Breeds in a wide variety of habitats, including insect-rich meadows and bracken-covered slopes in uplands. The Irish breeding population has been decling in the last few years.
Wintering: Winters in tropical Africa.
Where to See: Coronation Plantation in County Wicklow and the Shannon Callows near Banagher are good areas to see Whinchat in Ireland.
Physical characteristics
Medium-sized, strong-billed, long tailed, and sprightly chat, with posture frequently recalling Winter Wren. Plumage essentially bright rufous to grey-brown above and buff-white below, with obvious pale supercilium, double wing-bar, and diagnostic orange-rufous tail tipped black and withe, Flight chat-like in action but silhouette recalls large warbler. Sexes similar, no seasonal variation.
Habitat
Breeds in dry middle and lower middle latitudes, in Mediterranean, steppe, and desert fringe zones, mainly in lowlands. In N-W Africa, only natural habitat in uplands is in tamarisk and vegetation bordering wadis. Not attracted to natural maquis and forest, and avoids both mountains and bare plains. More attracted by man-made habitats such as parks, orange groves, gardens, and groups of prickly pear. In steppes, favours areas planted with bushes and trees.
Other details
Saxicola rubetra is a widespread summer visitor to much of Europe, which constitutes >75% of its global breeding range. Its European breeding population is very large (>5,400,000 pairs), and was stable between 1970-1990. Although the species declined in many countries—notably Finland and Ukraine—during 1990-2000, the key population in Russia was stable, with other sizeable populations such as Belarus, Poland and Romania also stable or increasing, and the species probably declined only slightly overall.
Feeding
Mostly insects and earthworms, often rather large, occasionally fruit. Feeding method varies with prey. Pursues ants, etc, on ground. Takes small Diptera and Hymenoptera from flowers, sometimes hovering to do so. Locates earthworms by probing in soft ground, throwing earth aside with bill once worm found.
Conservation
This species has a large global range; the total size has not yet been quantified, but the Extent of Occurrence in Africa alone is estimated to be 4,600,000 km². It has a large global population, including an estimated 11,000,000-21,000,000 individuals in Europe (BirdLife International in prep.). Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern. [conservation status from birdlife.org]
Breeding
Nest site is situated in thick bush or low tree, often near trunk. Nest loosely constructed untidy structure of fine twigs, trasses, and rootlets, lined with vegetable down, wool, hair, and feathers, and often a piece of snake skin. Building by both sexes.3-5 eggs, incubation 13 days tended by female only.
Migration
Essentially a trans-Saharan migrant, wintering in tropical Africa, though also regularly in Algeria and Iraq; other wintering records north of Sahara are exceptional but widely scattered through Mediterranean basin and western seaboard of Europe north to Britain. Wintering range extends from Sénégal through Nigeria and Zaïre to Uganda, and uncommonly in Kenya and Tanzania, south to Malawi and Zambia. Birds leave north European breeding grounds in late August and September, with peak numbers on passage in western Europe in early September. First arrivals at wintering sites are in mid- or late September. Return passage begins February-March, continuing into early May.
