Edited NASA image of a Ranger spacecraft used to explore the Moon in the 1960s.
Original caption: The Ranger fleet of spacecraft launched in the mid-sixties provided for the first time live television transmissions of the Moon from lunar orbit. These transmissions resolved surface features as small as 10 inches across and provided over 17,000 images of the lunar surface. These detailed photographs allowed scientists and engineers to study the Moon in greater detail than ever before thus allowing for the design of a spacecraft that would one day land men of Earth on its surface.
“Model of the Ranger A spacecraft—The objective of the Ranger A mission is to obtain photographs of the lunar surface. Six TV vidicon cameras, two wide-angle and four narrow-angle, will begin taking photographs ten minutes prior to impact and will send the video signals to tracking stations for recording on magnetic tape and reconversion to image on film. The first pictures will be taken 1,000 miles from the lunar surface. The last photographs could be taken as close as one-third of a mile from the Moon Ideally some 3,000 photographs could be reproduced by the six cameras.”
“Ranger A” was the first improved Block III Ranger, aka Ranger 6. Per the Space Review website/Andrew J. LePage, at:

Ensign Ranger ll strip-down. The hinge to the film compartment door had long since come adrift. Whilst solidly made, the hinge assembly is not really upto the job of handling the weight of the door. And it was riveted to the body, whereas most other components were screw fitted. The bellows have many pinhole leaks too, but the shutter is good. I would like to try and seal the bellows. They cannot be removed as they are fixed in place within the cast alloy bodywork.

A Skitarii Ranger of the Adeptus Mechanicus is a hunter of sentient creatures in the same way that tech-priests are hunters of knowledge -- the enemies of the Omnissiah in particular. Skitarii Rangers are the unstoppable cyborgs of the Skitarii Legions that do not rest until the bloody deed is done, for they are driven ever onward by the imperative to locate their foes and ensure their destruction.
They do this not by Drop Pod strikes launched from above, nor by sudden teleportation into the midst of the enemy, but by stalking their quarry over the course of solar weeks or even months until it can run no more. Once the designated target is in their crosshairs, the air fills with the thump and crackle of Galvanic Weaponry, even as the Skitarii continue their restless advance. The stink of electrocuted corpses is never far behind.
As with so much of the Cult Mechanicus' business, the truths of the Skitarii's creation are kept a close secret. Some are vat-grown or cloned, whilst others are repurposed from mind-wiped convicts or warriors handed over as punishment for failure or desertion. Regardless of origin, all find a fanatical faith in the Omnissiah soon after their inception. It is then that their true transformation begins.
Without exception the Skitarii have pallid bodies of puckered flesh and sutured cybernetics. Ceramic valves and adamantium sockets stud hard knots of translucent muscle. In imitation of the ancestor cohorts that first ground their limbs to stumps upon the dunes of Mars, the Skitarii cut off their lower legs and replace them with prostheses of inviolate alloy. Even the brains of these warriors are grotesque hybrids of grey matter and twisting neurocircuitry.
One who looked for consistency in Skitarii augmentations would be sorely disappointed. A soldier of the Mechanicus may have a punchcard skullslot and leather bellows for lungs, whilst at the same time housing quantum bioware in his brain.
It is often said that were one of these enhanced warriors to be rendered down, traces of nearly every element known to Humanity could be found somewhere in the remains. The tech-priests know this to be no exaggeration, for dissection is but one of the dark fates a Skitarius might undergo in order to satisfy his masters' predatory curiosity.
The most blessed of Skitarii pass a point called the "Crux Mechanicus," their body more machine than flesh. Those that reach this stage of mechamorphosis are known as "Skitarii Alphas."

I was greeted near my front door in Tucson when I arrived by this blooming Texas Ranger. Love the fringe on the petals and how drought tolerant they are. The blossoms are only about 1/2 inch across.

Parting shot of my faithful Ford Sport Ranger as it was being sold and replaced by its bigger brother a Ford F150 Heritage pickup. Gave the the two tone yellow and black motif a classical black&white look for a change
A little self-promotion...National Wildlife Federation's Ranger Rick Jr. magazine published my photo of bluebirds in their latest issue. It's always fun to see something published.
The elite rangers are a special airborne division of the covenant navy, specially trained and equipped to work in the vacuum of space.
I built this MOC about 3 months ago for a 4-H project, and have kept it together, as I think it is one of my best MOCs to date.
Thanks for looking, feedback is appreciated!

HMS Ranger (P293) is an Archer-class patrol and training vessel of the Royal Navy, based in HMNB Portsmouth. She is affiliated to Sussex and Brighton Universities' University Royal Naval Unit (or SUSURNU).
HMS Ranger was built at Shoreham-by-Sea by Watercraft Ltd. in 1987 and was originally allocated to Ulster Division of the Royal Naval Reserve based in Belfast on HMS Caroline and used for Junior Officer training. In 1991 she went to Gibraltar with HMS Trumpeter to form the Gibraltar Squadron, and returned to the UK to become Sussex URNU's allocated P2000 in early 2004. Her badge is a ship's wheel superimposed on seven blue roundels, representing the seven seas.
Being a cadet training ship, Ranger is not normally equipped with live weaponry unless required for a supervised training exercise. She is fitted for - but not with - a 20mm 85 GAM Cannon, as well as storage for four standard service rifles and two GPMGs.
Alongside HMS Trumpeter she was deployed on the Thames for the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant as part of the Royal Squadron escorting the Royal Barge (above). Ranger is also due to assist with security for the 2012 London Olympics.
