View from Red Head, New South Wales.
A small headland separates Diamond Beach from Shelly Beach. Red Head forms the southern boundary. It is composed of 250 million year old red shales interbedded with thin layers of volcanic ash together with fossil land plant remains (beachsafe.org.au). Further south is Black Head Beach, named after the Irish birthplace (Black Head, Antrim) of the first settler William Hoy, who moved to Black Head, New South Wales, around 1881.
This is the back side of a cool personalized area that they have in this store, if you can believe that! I'll save front view photos for future uploading ;)
The dominant geographical feature of this area is Mt Bryan at 936 metres (or 3,070 feet). Nearby is Mount Razorback which is 863 metres (or 2,831 feet.) Mt Lofty is a mere 727 metres!

Warhammer and Nexo Knights seem like a perfect match to me. I don’t play the table top games but I really like the vehicle designs and imagery.
Pointers from Jerac (www.flickr.com/photos/jerac/5164163208) and Slnine (flic.kr/p/q6dhmy) are clearly evident in this one, specifically the scale and design of the tracks.
I tried to come up with my own solutions to achieving the angles and offsets, and I hope it compliments their incredible creations.

BSF (Battlements and Spotting Frame) Razorback Type
The Razorback is a light-armored, front-liner frame developed for razor wire deployment and enemy spotting via a sophisticated sensor and flare suite. It features a chest-mounted anti-personnel gun, and a modular hardpoint on the right side of its hull, commonly outfitted with a 2 SUR (Single Use Rocket) launcher. While fairly mobile, the Razorback is not suited for extended combat. When under duress, the pilot can release up to 3 smoke cannisters from the left side of the hull to obscure escape.

This is the "Hummer" of the XXXI century. Yes, they still use shovels in the XXXI century. There's a place for five passengers if the fifth lies or for six if two of them are cramped in the back section (I stopped trying this in LDD, but I still believe it's possible) plus one (two seems to be nearly impossible) shooter. Four doors, one big hatch, motor hood and some big roof section including the windscreen - that's what can be opened here. Suspension is only on the front wheels and it is "not so much".
I think I like to build those 8-stud wide MRAPS much more than other vehicles... That should explain why I have much more of that stuff built.
Oh, and I added a flag :)
The jagged tip of the Razorback Ridge hike in the Southern Cathedral Ranges, Victoria. To get to this point you have three options. Climb the ridge from the north end, the south end (recommended) or the Wells Cave Track, which runs straight up the sheer side of the ridge. We chose to hike up the Wells Cave Track, a very tough climb but well worth it once at the top!
A-10C , no longer in service with the 188th Wing...retired in 2014. Shot by myself at Hillsboro, OR Airshow a few years back Another deep dive of my Hard Drive on a hot day.

(now demolished.) Locals said it was haunted, The cold foggy morning made it feel that way when I took this photo.
Taken on 35mm slide film, warming filter. Nikon F601 if I recall. Scanned into the computer recently.
From the archives, UP 6616 leads the EAMPR over one of the many bumps on INRD's Illinois mainline. These Ameren trains no longer run over the INRD and daylight moves are pretty hard to find west of Palestine.
A former Seaboard intermodal trailer is now used by Engineering forces at Tilford yard in Atlanta, GA. Hopefully this will be saved. Dec 14, 2017.

Along the ridge, the sharp edges and bumps are caused by wind-blown spray, which hardens small areas of rock. The softer rock around these erodes away, leaving an uneven surface.
Wave energy channelled along the sides of the stack carves the deep smooth grooves just above sea level. With one wave every 14 seconds, there's a lot of erosion over a year, century or millennium.
The Razorback once extended much further out to sea. The force of the waves gradually eroded and undercut the base of the stack. Vertical cracks such as that clearly visible towards the outer end, were widened by rainwater, forming a line of weakness. Huge blocks of rock then collapsed into the sea, leaving rock shelf just under the sea's surface.

This rock stack is called 'the Razorback'. The sharp edges and bumps along its back are caused by wind-blown spary, which hardens small areas of rock. The softer rocks around these erodes away, leaving uneven surface.

The USS Razorback (SS-394) is a Balao-class submarine that saw service in the Pacific Theater during World War II. The name “Razorback” came from the Rorqual family of whales, which are characterized by throat grooves that extend from the throat to the flippers. This submarine, after a long and varied service, is now docked in North Little Rock (Pulaski County), as part of the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum.
The USS Razorback was constructed at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Maine in 1943–44 and was launched on January 27, 1944. Between 1944 and 1945, the Razorback completed war patrols in the Pacific, which included being a member of an offensive group conducting patrols east of Luzon in the Philippines in support of the mid-September 1944 landings on Palau. It also operated in a group of submarines that patrolled in the Luzon Straits, where the Razorback damaged a 6,933-ton freighter on December 6, 1944, and sank an 820-ton destroyer and damaged another freighter on December 30. On February 1, 1945, the Razorback set out for the East China Sea, accompanied by the Segundo and the USS Sea Cat (SS-399), where it sank four wooden ships in three separate surface gun actions.
As a result of its World War II patrols, the Razorback won five battle stars, and it is also one of only two surviving submarines that took part in the formal surrender of Japan at Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945. Following World War II, the Razorback remained active with the Pacific Fleet, participating in patrols off Japan and China. After being modified in the early 1950s to make it more modern and competitive against possible Soviet submarine threats, it provided antisubmarine training services for surface and air units off the West Coast through 1956. From 1957 until 1970, the Razorback returned to duty in the Far East, earning its first Vietnam Service Medal in 1965.
Following its final deployment, it was decommissioned on November 30, 1970, transferred to the Turkish Navy, and renamed the TCG Muratreis (S-336). Due to their classified nature, little information is available about the Muratreis’s duties while in the Turkish Navy, though it is known that it was involved in the 1974 Turkish invasion of the island of Cyprus.
The Muratreis was decommissioned in August 2001. The city of North Little Rock succeeded in buying the submarine for $37,500 in 2004 (with the sale being finalized on March 25, 2005), following the intervention of city officials and submarine veterans groups, specifically the United States Submarine Veterans, Inc. The city of North Little Rock arranged for it to be towed from Turkey at a cost of about $500,000, most of which came from private donations; it arrived at the Port of Little Rock on August 29, 2004. A celebration, called an “American Homecoming,” was held for the Razorback later that month to celebrate its return to the United States.
