La Novia ( Umma Thurman )
Kill Bill Volumen I
¿La quieres ver más grande?
Hailing from an ancient tribe of warriors in Kenya and raised further by Proctors, the young woman who would end up naming herself Laquisha was seen as a prodigy among soulcasters. It was seen as a suprise by none when in 1812, she was officially indicted as the new Proctor Pisces. Her title as the youngest Proctor meant she was hailed as the face of a new generation and as such she became hailed as the "Proctor Origin" that would become a pillar for that century.
This didn't become the truth and Proctor Pisces learned her many experiences often in the hardest ways possible. The tall, dark woman has become a true veteran and a cold, tactful leader capable of making the worst decisions soley because of these mistakes. In her current role, she is a mother-figure to Jabberwock and Shelly and commands their ragtag-team together with the demon known as Kupira Akisame.
Currently ranking as the lowest of all Proctors, she is still a massive force of war. Her armored form boasts enourmous strength and agility, she is a master of many combat techniques that she has enhanced further with her four arms and her two swords can enlargen and set themselves ablaze with green bursts of fire!
However, as great as her abilities may be, the Proctor is a hoast to many secrets and regrets and feelings of resentment. It is unkown what she'll do in the future but only time will tell.

Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals.

I'm so glad that today was more relaxing than yesterday, even if I had a lot of house work to do..
Anyway I had time to prepare pancakes for breakfast ( actually lunch, because we woke up late this morning =)) and also to go out for a walk and enjoy the warm sun that winter is giving us these days :D
Wish you all a wonderful evening and a relaxing Monday :D

By Hafrsfjord, the monument Sverd i fjell (Swords in rock).
This was where Harald Fairhair gathered Norway into one kingdom in 872. The monument consists of three swords that are fixed into the grown. They symbolise peace, unity and freedom. The hilts of the Viking swords are taken from swords found in different parts of the country. The monument is made by Fritz Røed (1928-2002), and was unveiled by King Olav in 1983.

In der Draufsicht erkennt man die Elemente des Geschwaderwappens mit dem Schwert auf dem Rumpfrücken und dem Seitenleitwerksansatz sowie die Schwingen, die sich auf den Tragflächen wiederfinden. Das Ganze wird von einem Netz von Blitzen auf einem dunkelgrauen Hintergrund untermalt. Die grazile Ausführung der Sonderlackierung wird beim Blick auf die Details erst richtig sichtbar. Die Deutschland-Flagge auf dem Seitenleitwerk ist als wehende, dreidimensionale Flagge ausgeführt.
Here's another take of this monument front the front, taken a little later.
Three enormous bronze swords stand monument to the Battle of Hafrsfjord in the year 872, when Harald Hårfagre (Fairheaded Harald) united Norway into one kingdom. The monument was designed by local artist Fritz Røed and unveiled by Norway's King Olav in 1983.
The swords, which are about 10 meters tall, stand for peace and unification. One sword is larger than the others. This was Fairheded Harald's sword. The crowns on the top of the swords represent the three districts that participated in the battle. The swords are planted in solid rock - representing peace. The monument is called Sverd i Fjell (Swords in Rock).

1) Soren's Blade: A lightweight sword used in almost all situations.
2) Dreamcatcher: A lightweight sword that emits a small EMP wave.
3) Desecrator: A heavy saw like blade that is used to cause massive damage to armor (Not commonly used).
4) GateKeeper
5) Heaven's Key
6) Golem: An extremely heavy sword made from a special hardened steel that is used to crush enemies and shield the user (Not commonly used).
OK for now these are all of Soren's swords I am sure I'll get bored and make more :P
Sword-billed Hummingbird - Ensifera ensifera - Мечеклюв
Glamping El Color de Mis Reves, Villamaría, Caldas Department, Colombia, 02/26/2022
I just watched episodes 1&2 of the new Thundercats Series.
Being a huge fan of the earlier series, I needed to try my hand at a minifig-scale Sword of Omens.
It could still use some work. I think it needs some inset adornment in the quillions (curvy handguard bits).
It is just a CAD model for now.
And if you ask when it will be a production item, consider yourself permablocked. Maybe not really, but just try me.

An (approximately) life-sized mosaic of the Iron Sword from Minecraft. The colors aren't exactly right, but it's as close as I could get with LEGO's limited color palette.
I wanted to build a proper, fully wieldable, fully tiled version, but I don't want to spend a ton of money on BL orders right now. Maybe some day.
This female sword-billed hummingbird feels very superior to other hummers. And why shouldn't she? She has the longest beak of any hummer, longer than her own body. The beak is so big that she has to keep her head elevated when perched to keep from toppling over.
Sword-bills feed from long, deep flowers where the nectar is too far for traditional bills to reach. Often, these flowers hang downward, so that the hummingbirds hover beneath them and lap up nectar from below.
Male and female sword-bills have similar sized beaks but their feather pattern is different. The females have a primarily white chest while the males are mainly green.
These are South American hummers and are found in the higher elevations (mostly above 2500 meters) in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. This particular sword-billed was photographed in Ecuador.
The monument Sverd i stein (Swords in Stone).
This was where Harald Fairhair gathered Norway into one kingdom in 872. The monument consists of three swords that are fixed into the grown. They symbolise peace, unity and freedom. The hilts of the Viking swords are taken from swords found in different parts of the country. The monument is made by Fritz Røed (1928-2002), and was unveiled by King Olav in 1983.
