Now in 4K! Also, some modifications here and there.
The K50 is intended to replace the Tsar-class, as that design was found to be heavily flawed. However, the good features were borrowed from the Tsar-class, like its bridge that gave an excellent view on the battlespace.
The ship is based on the Pearl battlecruiser's hull, but modified to meet the needs of battleship. This class is supposed to fill out the gap between the said battlecruiser and The Divine superbattleship.
It utilizes many new features that makes it lighter and cheaper. Firtsly, it has only three turret versus the usual four of other nations' battleships while still having the same number of cannons. With one less turret a lot of weight was saved due to less machinery and a shorter citadel, this way more weight could be used for armor. At standard load it has a displacement of 38,230 t.
Armor
The ships' armor protection was designed to break up 16-inch (406 mm) shells from a distance of 15,000–20,000 meters and the primary armor plates made of Krupp cemented armor (which reduces spalling) are backed up by splinter bulkheads intended to contain any shell fragments.
The ship's waterline armor belt is 305 mm (12 in) thick and tapered to a thickness of 100 mm (3.9 in) at its bottom edge; above it is a strake of 229 mm (9.0 in) armor. The main deck armor is 104 mm (4 in). The turrets are protected with an armor thickness of 305 mm on the face, 230–190 mm (9.1–7.5 in) on the sides, and 152 mm on the roof. The barbettes of the second turret is protected by armor 305 mm thick, while the casemates of the 150 mm guns are protected by 37 mm armor plates. The sides of the conning tower are 369 mm (14.5 in) thick.
Propulsion
K50 is equipped with four steam turbines, each of which drove one propeller shaft. The turbines were designed to produce a total of 91,000 shaft horsepower provided by oil-fueled boilers. The ship could carry 5,000 long tons of fuel oil, giving her a range of 10,200 km at a speed of 16 knots. The ship exceeded her designed speed of 26.5 knots during her sea trials, reaching 26.7 knots .
Armament
K50 class' eight 50-caliber 41-centimeter guns are mounted in three turrets, one twin and two triple superfiring turrets fore and aft. Numbered one through three from front to rear, the hydraulically powered turrets give the guns an elevation range of −2 to +35 degrees, giving them a maximum range of 30,200 m. The rate of fire for the guns is around two rounds per minute.
The ship's secondary armament of 12 150 mm guns is mounted in four twin turrets and the remaining in casemates. These guns have a maximum range of 20,500 metres and fired at a rate of six to ten rounds per minute.
These guns are complemented by smaller oness, a dozen multipurpose 107 mm guns in twin turrets. Between the turrets is two twin torpedo launchers to give the ship more versatility.
Anti-aircraft defense is provided by six 84 mm high elevation guns, eight 40 mm guns in two quad turrets and eight 25mm guns, six in twin turrets and two as single mounts.

Nothing can replace a precious pet that has been lost, but between Ragnar and Freja, I am feeling comfort over losing Squeeks. They are so alive and honestly are the sweetest kittens I've ever seen.
This was Ragnar, waiting outside my brother's room and catching some sunlight in the hall. He graciously allowed me to capture several fairly decent shots of him. Kittens in motion aren't an easy thing to grab, and he doesn't stay still for long!
Of the two, Rags is definitely the little lover. He has to cuddle and be on me. The jealousy between him and Barrymore is already setting in, and Ragnar took his first swipe at poor More-More yesterday! He still has claws, but Barrymore doesn't, so I'm hoping he doesn't realize it! He's growing rapidly, and with size comes threat.
Freja, on the other hand, is quick as lightning, but smaller than her brother. I can tell I'm going to have a whole lot more pics of him through the years, simply because he's calmer, especially with a full tummy!

Sadly, this beautiful DC-10 didn't last long. Built with a main deck cargo door, this aircraft could be used for either passengers or cargo. It was delivered to ONA Overseas National Airways as N1032F in Jun-73 and was written off at New York-Kennedy just 2.5 years later on 12-Nov-75.
Note:
The aircraft was departing on a ferry flight from New York-Kennedy to Frankfurt and Jeddah at the start of a series of Haj Pilgrimage charter flights with 129 staff passengers and 10 crew.
During the take-off run the aircraft hit a large flock of seagulls on the runway and the take-off was abandoned. The damage to the No:3 engine fan blades caused a rotation imbalance and the compressor case disintegrated, causing a fire in the engine pylon and the right wing.
It also damaged the No:3 hydraulic system which affected the aircraft braking and the No:3 thrust reverser couldn't be deployed.
The runway was wet and it was apparent that the aircraft was not going to stop on the runway, so the crew steered onto a taxiway with the aircraft still doing 40kts which caused the undercarriage to collapse. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair. There were no fatalities.
Webb Coal Tank 1054 arrives at Quorn with the 10:00 Loughborough – Leicester North, 26th May 2013.
Locomotive History
The London and North Western Railway introduced in 1881 a tank engine version of its 17” Coal Engine 0-6-0. Both designs were by F.W. Webb and the tank engine had the tender replaced by a trailing radial truck supporting the bunker making it a 0-6-2T. Three hundred of the tank engine design were built at Crewe works between 1881 and 1897. The first to be withdrawn was as early as 1921 and withdrawals continued over the next thirty seven years with the final members of the class being withdrawn in 1958. Coal Tank 1054 entered service in 1888 and was renumbered 7799 and then 27799 by the London Midland and Scottish Railway, and then 58926 under British Railways after the railways were nationalised in 1948. The engine's early service before the First World War is understood to have been in the Birmingham area, followed by North and South Wales before it was withdrawn from service in January 1939. The locomotive was almost broken up however the outbreak of the Second World War granted it a reprieve and it was overhauled and reinstated in December 1940. The locomotive continued to move around the country seeing service in the Manchester area working local trains from Bolton, and the Liverpool area from Edge Hill, before moving south to Bletchley where it worked the local passenger service to Dunstable. In 1950 it was at Shrewsbury, again working local passenger trains this time to Craven Arms and, after four years, moved to Abergavenny from where it was loaned to the National Coal Board for 12 months working alongside two of its class mates at Windsor Colliery in Ynysybwl near Pontypridd. It returned to Abergavenny as the last survivor of its type and, incidentally, the last Webb designed locomotive in operation. It was kept as a spare engine and fitted with a snowplough during the winter months in case of heavy snowfalls on the line. It is doubtful, however, if it was ever utilized in this role. After working the last train on the Abergavenny to Merthyr line with 0-8-0 'Super D' 49121 it ended its days at Ponytpool, where it was finally withdrawn in October 1958. Following withdrawal it was sold for preservation and after twenty years on static display it was overhauled and returned to working order in 1980 and restored to the London and North Western Railway condition in which it would have appeared just prior to the First World War. In May that year it attended the great exhibition at Rainhill near Liverpool. 1054 was taken out of service in 1999 for its third and most extensive overhaul since it was bought for preservation. This was completed, with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, during 2011.
Replaced the laser cannons with "Jitte" looking parts from Lego Ninjago. I need to get another gray jitte to replace the golden one. Gotta save up (for next month)!
Also, I must confess that today, one of the wings went broken down at the turning of the toggle to change wing positions. I had to reinforce upper wings with some changes in the construction.

By now it was 30 years old and it was stored at Southend, UK. In late 1989 it made it's final flight back to Malmo, Sweden, where the engines were removed and repossessed by the owners.
It was dismantled during 1992 and transported to the 'High Chaparral' Wild West Theme Park at Kulltorp, Sweden, where it was rebuilt and displayed. As of Oct-15, the aircraft was still on display at Kultorp.
