The tan baseplates are supposed to recall the sand-coloured terrain always shown on the original CS sets' box art, and also because I don't have baseplates in light bluish grey.
Hey look, another near-future space fighter. and look at this, another silly lengthy backstory:
The Coalition's most common lunar-to-orbit transport has long been the reliable and versatile Cerberus family of spacecraft. It was a natural extension, then, for them to make a weaponized model for defense. The relatively large payload area has been filled with heavy magnetic accelerators and a sealed projectile loading system, leaving its three operators cramped in the cockpit.
The Cerberus-K’s railgun is its sole weapons system, but boasts the ability to fire a number of different projectiles. Most common are the VS-8 “Space Grapeshot” kinetic packages, but nearly all the loads of their Lunar-based railguns are available, including nuclear EMP rounds (though Intel still maintains they are very low on fissile material). Indeed, the gun itself is effectively a lower-output version of their common SO-89 surface-based railgun, its power generators scaled down to fit inside the confines of the spacecraft. While its muzzle velocity and refire rate cannot match its surface-based brother, Cerberus can and does employ its powerful engine and substantial fuel supply to impart extra speed to its shots.
Each firing slams the Cerberus-K with a massive recoil, and the railgun’s batteries take much longer to recharge than the ones on the surface, but with more and more of these inexpensive ships rolling off the line, they have created a significant problem for our offensive operations. Coalition brass has even sent them on surprise raiding missions against under-defended outposts and ships. Mobility is the best defense against the Cerberus. Change course to outwit its non-maneuvering munitions, and engage it with high velocity or guided weapons to exploit its large mass and lack of maneuverability.

Street art where there are noe streets. Just an empty building, a house that housed an electric power generator. Artists Dolk and Pøbel was here a few years ago, in a project where they painted well known artwork on rural structures such as houses, under bridges, inside factories, and such. These artworks were ment to decay as the buildings themselves, and so they do. This house lost its roof during the last winter storm a few weeks ago, and with no doors or windows it will only be a matter of time before it is gone for good.

Several habitats WaterNest 100 can be installed with a radial or linear configuration on lakes, bays, atolls and sea areas with calm waters to create an eco-resort with floating villages. Both the floating docks and habitat are made from natural materials and environmentally friendly production systems that make this floating architecture up to 98% recyclable. Each home has a sophisticated natural internal micro-ventilation and air conditioning system configured for low-energy consumption in residential housing. Each WaterNest has 60 square meters of amorphous photo-voltaic panels that generate 4kW of daily power, making WaterNest Village a real solar power generator that produces all the electricity needed for day and night operation of the entire floating village. Fluctuations in water level are no problem for the WaterNest Village which adapts in a natural way by raising or lowering its floating level without the use of mechanical elements or any waste of electricity. The interior of each of 100 square meter WaterNest habitat is characterized by being warm and welcoming, with a contemporary style full of innovative. The wooden aromas of the structure fill the living space. The large windows allow light to enter and illuminate the interior environments all day long. The high-design furniture are made of eco-friendly natural recyclable material – the result of rigorous selection of the best known and established companies in contemporary ecological design which meet the highest stylistic demands. WaterNest Village designed by the renown Italian architect Giancarlo Zema is the ideal solution for hotel groups and hospitality investors working in the field of eco-tourism who wish to make a truly innovative floating resort and environmentally friendly way to live in style independently, exclusively and in complete harmony with nature.
“ATOMS FOR SPACE -- The Martin Company here has been awarded a contract by the Atomic Energy Commission to develop nuclear-powered generators to power equipment on satellites that will measure radiation and magnetic fields between earth and the moon. This is an artist’s conception of such a satellite, known as IMP (Interplanetary Monitoring Probe), with the generators on either side of it. The initial probes, to be launched late this year, will use solar cells for energy, but these are not felt to be as reliable as nuclear-powered generators.”
Mr. Fahdt is problematic. I know of him almost exclusively through one stupendous & iconic (in my world) work, linked to below. There may be others that I’ve come across…maybe even own, that are by his hand, that I’m not even aware of. However, it seems that the signatures of the entire Martin Co. artistic Dream Team, to include Mr. Fahdt, were permitted/preserved. Hence the problem. Where the hell are his works?! This photo boosts the total confirmed tally (that I’m aware of) of Frederick Fahdt works to a whopping THREE. To top it off, this isn’t even that good.
And don’t even get me started on Mr. (I presume) Olivari!
Interestingly, I don’t believe any of the IMP series of satellites utilized nuclear-powered generators, relying instead on solar arrays & chemical batteries. So, a total flip from this: two RTGs/zero solar arrays —> four solar arrays & batteries/zero RTGs.

A redesign of Lego set 1656 Evacuation Team. The redesign was both to upgrade the design to a proper scale AND make the scene more realistic. (I tried this once before about 10 years ago, but this is a completely new design of each piece in the scene.)
I tried to say true to every aspect of the original set. Even the barricades and power generator were redesigned to be more realistic.
For the 4x4-type vehicle, I assumed this would be a Dozer Tender in reality. See www.flickr.com/photos/mikesphotos_us/3381733771. Dozer and loader units are accompanied by Dozer Tenders (pickup-chassis-type trucks) that carry supplies and equipment. They also help clear the road for the Dozer unit.
The loader unit is completely self supporting, lifting boulders or any debris that needs removal for the "evacuation."
The designs feature lots of half-brick offsets, studs-upside-down techniques and custom chrome wheels. Thank you for viewing them!
The rebel scum were getting bolder. Several undercover rebels had been exposed in what looked like a purposeful leak through an intermediary to the ISB. Some of the rebels had successfully infiltrated the Second Sun Battle Station as Imperial Officers. None the less the scum had to be dealt with.
Some time later...
Agent Commander Amus had watched the officer the entire morning. Same routine as every other day. The only exception being around 900 hours. The officer had started taking seemingly random detours throughout the Battle Station, before resuming his duties at 918 hours.
These detours were not random. Amus knew - but he would not wait around to find out what the rebel had planned.
Today, the detour led the officer to the tractor beam power-generator trench 3. Amus was waiting for him. The officer opened the blast doors to trench 3, and stared down the barrel of the Agent Commander’s blaster.
“Step forward, and shut the door, Lieutenant!” Commanded Amus.
The officer followed the order. Amus shook his blaster at the officer, signalling him to move further out onto the walkway.
“The rebels have ratted you out!” said Amus. The officer’s expression slowly changed from perplexed to angry. Amus lowered his blaster, while he whispered; “Your friends have abandoned you!”
He turned his head away and gave the officer one hard push. “Your mission is over!”

This flashback displays a younger Amus - before the incident that turns his skin pale white - to his time as an ISB Agent Commander. I hope you like it. As always, see more on swfactions.net
Thanks for watching!

Machinery house of the P&H 2355 Crawler Dragline in 1:28.5 scale.
All those of you who think that the machinery house of such a large model mainly features Technic beams, gears and motors, I have to disapoint.
The dimensions of 38 studs across and over 60 studs in lenght rather allowed me to include a bunch of details that can be found on the machinery deck of the real dragline.
First of all there are two large drums for the hoist and drag cable with their respective motors. Furthermore the two swing transmissions with their motors and finally the boom hoist with its double drum.
All the remaining components are without a function for the operation of the model but add the necessary bit of realism:
- Two Caterpillar 3512 12-cylinder engines, complete with coolers, air intake and exhaust pipes, each powering generators for the hoist, drag and swing motors as well as for the auxiliary electrical comsumers.
- Various electrical cabinets
- Central lubrication unit
- Refuelling unit
- Air compressor
There are four openable access doors to the machinery house, two on each side. Large wall panels in front of the hoist and drag motors as well as on the back give access for maintenance duties.

Foden S.80 XRR171S, a former tipper truck with K&N of Hucknall, Notts continues to give sterling service to its present owners, associated with McKean's Family Funfairs of Leicestershire. The truck carries on its back a dodgem car ride along with a full Gardner 6LW powered generator set to power the ride. The Gardner 6LXB oil engine that originally powered the truck has been replaced with a more powerful Cummins unit, allowing XRR to maintain almost modern day performance. ...And long may it do so, what a wonderful vehicle.
The picture was taken at Bramcote Hills Park, Nottingham on the funfair's Easter visit to the area. The trucks are there until 2nd April 2016.

4 - 6 inches were forecast, no big deal. When I got up at 5 it was obvious we received a LOT more! All the trees in my yard were bowing over they were so ladened with wet, heavy snow. There were a LOT of branches down too. We headed out early, it took a while to wrap our heads around the monumental task of moving that much snow, over a foot! Then the calls started coming in... trees and limbs down, roads impassable. We quit moving snow and started cutting trees and clearing roads. Then the calls started coming in...power out in the entire town, pole or tree on fire, 4 sanitary pump stations out of power. Generators kept 2 of them running. Power was restored, all roads and trees were cleared, the towns transfer station is ready to go for the Saturday rush :-)

Iconic, robust, practical. This is my 3rd version of the iconic ship that has graced the screens, tv shows and in print. I took a step back from my first version and reworked the entire model.
Red 5, Luke's main ship. Stickers from the UCS model and custom ones were used. I may add more later, but that may be for the Gray model version.
Many other x-wing designs have come since my 2016 model as well as new LEGO parts that helped shape this ship.
Like my original design this model features a durable internal structure and frame that allows you to hold the ship in front of the cockpit.
I also included internal components like my previous model to help define the various parts shown in the X-Wing cross sections. Life support, compressors, coils, power converters, power generator, flight computer, repulsorlift, hydraulic lines, communications antenna, sensor computer, primary sensor array, and a functional cargo bay.
The Landing gear was another story. Since my model is a display one I wanted to not have a working rear landing gear until LEGO develops more curved slopes that would help shape the engines. Instead, I used a similar design from my previous model to swap out for landing mode or flight mode. The front landing gear fits snug into the ship.
I am particularly proud that my cockpit design from version 1 found its way back into my latest model with slight modifications to allow the side panels to properly stay together.
Custom parts are used here. I Cut a few curved windows to make the Laser magnetic flashback suppressors. I also cut a ribbed flexible hose to fit inside the cockpit. I took a flat 2x2 tile and drilled a hole inside it to slide the technoic axle through. LEGO currently has a 2x2 round tile with a hole, but I needed a square one.
Brickarms has great monoclips and u-clips that work great for smaller ideas, such as my joystick or holding parts inside the cylinders.
The stand design is great, but I think it would work better if I swap out some parts and have several technique axles run through it and into the x-wing.
Unused.
On scene a group of 10 men in a communications post somewhere behind the lines. On the far left is a petrol powered generator and a few soldiers are manning the radio transmitter. Most interesting however, is that two guys are on a tandem bicycle to generate power for their electronics. I've never seen a picture of one being used by the Germans in WWI yet. Quite and interesting find. The cyclists are wearing a M1915 Bluse, giving some indication of the period.

The full-rigged ship St. John Smith in dry dock at Knightville, Cape Elizabeth (now South Portland), May 1874. Newly built at Kennebunkport, the Smith has been towed to Portland to be “copper” sheathed. The local press customarily described every new vessel as being the most wonderful nautical advancement since the ark:
She is a handsome specimen of marine architecture and was looked upon with admiration by the large number that had gathered on the wharves as she proceeded up the harbor. No expense has been spared to render her perfect in every respect. Every modern improvement has been applied, and she is the pride of her owners, who embrace several of our prominent citizens .... The St John Smith at Portland Dry Dock Co in Cape Elizabeth, May 1874. The Cape Steam Power Generating Station was built here in 1921 (torn down 1979-80), now the location of two natural gas powered generators. Knightville to right.
First time I've seen this ship since October 2017, though captured a few videos and photos of her in brilliant sunshine down at the harbour today Thursday 7th February 2019.

Face Decal - Bertramtalespinner / Fine Clonier, printed by yours truly.
Updated version of the Turbolaser turret with motorized features hidden inside a power generator and imperial bunker.
The turret is moving left to right with firing leds in the guns. The Droids are buzzing up and down with a blinking led in the Probe Droid. The small antenna on the bunker is also rotating. There are also leds inside the bunker and above the bunker entrance and the turret entrance.
Imperial Autonomous Turbolaser Turrets (IATT) are pre-assembled heavily armoured turrets that were quickly mounted nearby important fortifications. The twin-barreled turbolasers served as heavy anti-capital ship weapons and could also annihilate any ground vehicle at very long range. There were however too slow to reliably target fast starfighters. They could punch through both deflector shields and armour on spaceships with the heaviest defensive layers.
The IATT did not need to be physically connected to any infrastructure as it contained a small power generator to operate. It also contains inside its basement a small hangar bay with a speeder that an operator could use.
Kabul - these houses do not have access to clean water and electricity.
Abflug von Kabul - zurück in zwei Wochen.
Ende April. Der Schnee hat dem Frühling platzgemacht.
An den Bergflanken sind die Häuser wie eine Welle hochgewachsen. Leider ohne Baugenehmigung. Es gibt keinen fließendes Wasser, keine Kanalisation, keinen Stromanschluss und auch keine Müllentsorgung. Aber auch andere Teile Kabuls haben keine richtige Stromversorgung und auch keinen richtigen Anschluss an die Kanalisation.
Die Luft ist im Sommer extrem schlecht. Die Stromgeneratoren knattern vor sich hin und verpesten die Luft. Die menschlichen Exkremente trockenen an der Luft und verteilen sich über die Stadt. Leider ist das nicht die beste Art die wenigen Grünflächen zu düngen.
Dennoch. Kabul ist eine spannende Stadt. Wenn nicht die Attentate wären.
-----
Departure from Kabul - back in two weeks.
End of April. The snow has given way to spring.
On the mountain flanks the houses grew up like a wave. Unfortunately without a building permit. There is no sewer, no connection to the national power grit, no clean water and no garbage disposal. But other parts of Kabul have no proper power supply and no proper connection to the sewer system, too.
The air is extremely bad in summer time. The power generators chatter and pollute the air. The human excrements dry in the air and spread over the city. Unfortunately, this is not the best way to fertilize the few green areas.
Yet. Kabul is an exciting city. If the attacks would not be.
Vandaag, 30 september, was de officiële (her)opening van station Lelystad. Het station is nu helemaal gereed voor de Hanzelijn, oa zijn perron 3 en 4 zijn in gebruik genomen.

Edda Ferd, PSV – Hybrid Platform Supply Vessel
The Edda Ferd is a platform supply vessel used to support oil rig operations in the North Sea.
A new build, the Østensjø Edda Ferd has been designed with a focus on quality, safety and efficiency. This is the first integration of a Corvus Energy ESS and Siemens’ BlueDrive PlusC propulsion system.

Iconic, robust, practical. This is my 3rd version of the iconic ship that has graced the screens, tv shows and in print. I took a step back from my first version and reworked the entire model.
Red 5, Luke's main ship. Stickers from the UCS model and custom ones were used. I may add more later, but that may be for the Gray model version.
Many other x-wing designs have come since my 2016 model as well as new LEGO parts that helped shape this ship.
Like my original design this model features a durable internal structure and frame that allows you to hold the ship in front of the cockpit.
I also included internal components like my previous model to help define the various parts shown in the X-Wing cross sections. Life support, compressors, coils, power converters, power generator, flight computer, repulsorlift, hydraulic lines, communications antenna, sensor computer, primary sensor array, and a functional cargo bay.
The Landing gear was another story. Since my model is a display one I wanted to not have a working rear landing gear until LEGO develops more curved slopes that would help shape the engines. Instead, I used a similar design from my previous model to swap out for landing mode or flight mode. The front landing gear fits snug into the ship.
I am particularly proud that my cockpit design from version 1 found its way back into my latest model with slight modifications to allow the side panels to properly stay together.
Custom parts are used here. I Cut a few curved windows to make the Laser magnetic flashback suppressors. I also cut a ribbed flexible hose to fit inside the cockpit. I took a flat 2x2 tile and drilled a hole inside it to slide the technoic axle through. LEGO currently has a 2x2 round tile with a hole, but I needed a square one.
Brickarms has great monoclips and u-clips that work great for smaller ideas, such as my joystick or holding parts inside the cylinders.
The stand design is great, but I think it would work better if I swap out some parts and have several technique axles run through it and into the x-wing.
At the beginning of the eighties I saw the television series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage by Carl Sagan. Cosmos gave birth to my interest in history, space and science. The sixth episode of the series is called "Travellers' Tales" and is focused on voyages of discovery, mainly on the journey that has taken us farther than any: the space travel of Voyager spaceships. That's why one of the first models that I designed and built with LEGO pieces (and one of the most loved by me) is the Voyager spacecraft and this is the last version of my design of the ship.
Voyager is my favorite spacecraft. It is the one that has gone farther. It was the first to leave the solar system and become a real interstellar ship. Voyager 2 visited four planets in its Grand Tour: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Besides it is not just an exploration ship, its Golden Record contains a message from humankind, a message addressed to the Universe.
Prior to the launch of the Voyager (in August and September 1977), little was known about the outer Solar System. But in the years that followed, between 1979 and 1989, these spaceships reached Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, they sent a flood of very detailed information about these planets, their moons and rings. This is already a formidable achievement, but the Voyager mission did not end there. They reached the limits of the solar system. Voyager 1 passed the helipausa in 25 August 2012, transforming into the first man-made object to reach interstellar space.
This 1:15 scale model of the Voyager spacecraft is very accurate and you can see numerous details of their communications systems, sensors and power generators.
The golden record, deserves special mention. It is a 12-inch gold-plate cooper phonograph record, containing some sounds and images of our planet, the instructions to play the record, and the location of our solar system. This album is aimed to the intelligent beings that the Voyager can find in its path in the future. Therefore, the Voyager is not only a space probe but a time capsule, a message of humankind thrown into deep space, into the future, into the unknown.
Jimmy Carter (President of the United States of America when the Voyagers were launched) said about the Golden Record of the Voyager: "This is a present from a small distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts and our feelings" (and his words were also recorded in the actual disc).
Before General Veers destroyed the Rebels' main power generator, he sent a recon force to scout ahead and take out the rebels guarding the generator.

It's been five months since the Uprising of the Station. The transmitter still did not work, we could not contact even with the moon ... Either way, during these months we have managed to win the station a couple of laboratories and industrial synthesators, so we are now provided with food, drink and...work. This prototype is an improved and modified version of automatic disintegrator that we have created a long time ago.
We created a number of stabilizers on the entire surface of the barrel, and got rid of the need to install external "Antennal" stabilizers, which are so often broken in the previous version.
This weapon has elevated rate of fire and a power generator for dark matter, we used a cyclonic accelerator, and import L'Sol energy core. This combination proved to be extremely effective, but this thing is monstrous eats ammunition. To trust such an inexperienced gun arrow - then simply burn gigaAmps of energy. Either way, I think this project successful.
