For me, K-2SO is easily the best part about Rogue One. After seeing the many awesome versions of this droid out there I was inspired to build one myself. (The folks pointing out the K2 influences in this bot got me thinking about it as well.)
I'm pretty happy with how this turned out! The shoulder/hip articulation is below my usual standards but for this build I decided to prioritize the shape and look.
I'm even happier I can stop thinking about it; I've been working on this and obsessing about it for weeks so it's nice to let my mind move onto other things (who else does this?). Of course there are still some areas I'd like to improve (*cough*feet*cough*) but what else is new?
I usually let the pieces do all the talking but in this case I couldn't resist dotting the balljoint with some eyes. I may have to relax my "rules" a bit!

BR Standard 4MT 76079 presses on up the steep gradient to Goathland, passing Thomason Foss. Afterwards I walked down to the waterfall itself, which provided some much appreciated respite from the heat of the sun.

It may be in shadow on the right but British Railways Standard pacific 70013 Oliver Cromwell is generating a smoke & steam screen which has wreathed the building site that is Battersea Power station as we cross the Thames on Grosvenor Bridge with the Sherborne Christmas Carols rail tour.
If you look carefully just to the left of the engine you can see the signal feather directing us down to Stewart's Lane, under the main line and on to the Staines side of Clapham Junction.
A beautiful sunrise over London but the weather turned progressively grey as we headed west.

The Standard in Copenhagen houses a couple of nice restaurants. It used to be the ferry terminal, for the ferries to Sweden.
The tourist overlooks along Mt. Washington have spawned a billion photos. Here's number 1,000,000,001.

Standard 5 73156 leaves Loughborough and passes under Beeches Road and the fine set of signals there during a Don Bishop charter earlier this month.
Another new and interesting exhibit. This Standard Atlas was apparently found in a lockup, having been stored for years. Someone appears to have been in the early stages of turning it into a camper van; work which looks to have stalled many years ago! The museum decided to put this on display in 'as found' condition, aside from a clean. Unfortunately the DVLA record doesn't tell us when it was last taxed, which is a shame. I think we can assume it was quite some time ago - I'd guess the 1970s.

Most hill tops have a crown of stones marking the summit. Nine Standards has taken the custom to the next level. The cairns in the picture are a result of local crafts folk recently getting together to preserve and embellish what is thought to be an ancient arrangement of decorative stone structures on the top of Hartley Fell, overlooking Kirkby Stephen.
The origins of the structures are shrouded in mystery, some say they are medieval, some say Bronze Age and most shrug their shoulders and say, haven't a clue.

Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim + Hybrid Redscaled Konica Minolta VX Super 200 + Double Exposure. (Print first, Redscale 2nd.)
Continuing experiments with redscale... First run through as standard print film mostly around Bristol, Blagdon Lake, & Stanton Drew. The film was then removed from the canister in a dark bag, reversed then replaced in the canister (all still in the dark bag) and shot through as Redscale around Bristol, Weston Super Mare (briefly) & Glastonbury.
I did not line up the film, nor take notes, nor plan the compositions, beyond remembering that the first run through might take up some variety of colour and the second run through might work well with strong lines & silhouettes or textures.
The negatives were returned uncut as requested, but I did get lab scans - any overlaps of one frame over another, are a result of this. I have cropped where I feel it is most helpful to do so, so any inclusion of frame overlap is these uploaded images has been an active choice. I will almost certainly return to the negs with a home scanner to search for alternative compositions to complement these.
Redscaling.
Basically it involves taking a roll of ordinary 'bog standard' print film, reversing it and respooling it into another film canister (all done in a dark bag) so that the light is exposed on 'the wrong side of the film' when you take a shot. You then lose two 'stops' on the optimal exposure conditions from the original. It gets developed in exactly the same way as print film, but be prepared for the technician to be a little startled (at best) or a little irritated (at worst) when they realise that something very odd has happened to the film. :)

A limited production variant of the Seraphim III/IV, the Strike Seraphim III/IV was created to be used by the UEF's special forces branch ECSO as well as other special operations groups. The ECSO were still using D-type Seraphim IIIs which were woefully inadequate come the Third Colony War. 150 Strike Seraphim III/IVs were built with a focus on firepower and maneuverability. Power output was increased over the standard Seraphim III/IV and the Strike was given a large amount of armaments allowing it to even take out a battleship single-handedly. In order to keep costs down components were taken from other Kampfers in service with the UEF such as modified hip binders from the refit R-type Seraphim III and modified grenade racks from the regular Seraphim III/IV.
Armaments include head-mounted CIW, shoulder-mounted missile pods (x2), a hyper-beam bazooka, wrist-mounted double-ended beam pick, melee bracer on one arm, chest-mounted beam particle cannon and a beam shotgun (stored on back).

Yussssss, variantssss strikeeee againnnnn
So I threw some kit onto the Seraphim III/IV and it looks pretty snazzy I think. Fins on the missile pods serve no function other than looking cool. Was thinking of ZZ Gundam for some reason. Hip binders are once again stolen straight off my R-type Seraphim III. I like the design, ok? XD
Think I got the lighting just right this time too. Might retake some of the photos I uploaded within the past 2 weeks now that I've got the lighting working again.
Will also take a photo of and upload a view of the back at some point. I thought the beam-shotgun design was kinda nifty but you can't see it at all here lol.
Still fits a fig with opening cockpit hatch as per norm.
NS train 21Z, aka "The Zipper" (Rutherford, PA to Chicago, IL, 63rd St., Park Manor Yard hotshot trailers/containers) flies through downtown Waterloo, Indiana on NS' ex-LS&MS/NYC/PC/CR Chicago Line with NS 8102, the Pennsylvania Railroad Heritage Unit in charge. The PRR was known as "The Standard Railroad of the World". The NYC era tri-light signals are still in service here. The Zipper was over on the #2 main passing other slower westbound trains.
I guess it was meant to be Norfolk Southern's day today. SD40-2 3563 and GP60 7123 wait outside TRRA's Madison Yard at Granite City, IL with the 31N, down from Decatur.
