Description of Historic Place
St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church is a landmark red-brick structure, located at the corner of Douglas and Broughton Streets in downtown Victoria. The Church is notable for its prominent corner tower, which is situated at a bend in Broughton Street and terminates the view to the west. The church displays a number of distinctive features, including crow-stepped gables, a variety of projections and towers, corner tourelles, and a picturesque roofline. Three sets of double entry doors are set in round-arched openings. At the rear there is a curved two-storey projecting bay.
Heritage Value
St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church is valued as a symbol of Victoria's ecclesiastical history and is representative of the ethnicity of its early immigrants. Victoria’s first Presbyterian church opened in 1862, but in 1866 the new congregation of St. Andrew's was formed with the blessing of the Church of Scotland. Their early ministers were integral in fostering Presbyterianism on Vancouver Island and in the interior of the province. From the earliest days of settlement, Victoria’s population had a high proportion of Scots. As the population of the city grew, so did this congregation, necessitating a larger place of worship. The cornerstone of this new building was laid on March 7, 1889 and the building was dedicated on January 12, 1890. When the United Church of Canada was formed in 1925, this congregation declined to join, and stayed with the Presbyterian Church of Canada, where it remains today.
The prominent site, massive size and lavish construction of this church, the largest in Victoria at the time of its construction, symbolized the importance of Scots in the social structure of the city. St. Andrew’s was associated with many notable members of Victoria’s society. Members of the congregation included pioneer industrialist, coal baron, politician and railway builder Robert Dunsmuir (1825-1889). Dunsmuir died before the church was complete, and his family donated the rose window in the church and the two flanking windows in his honour. All three windows were made by A. Linneman of Frankfurt am Main and shipped over to Victoria. Robert Burns McMicking (1843-1915) incorporated the Victoria Electric Illuminating Company with a group of local investors, which in 1883 introduced the first commercial electric lights in Canada and lit up the streets of Victoria. McMicking had the church provided with electric light, a rarity, as there was only one other church on the continent that was powered with electric light. Premier John Robson (1824-1892) was an elder of the church, and his funeral was held at St. Andrew’s.
St. Andrew's is valued as an important example of Late Victorian ecclesiastical architecture with distinctive Scottish Baronial elements as well as innovative structural engineering. It was designed by architect Leonard Buttress Trimen (1846-1892), who came to Victoria in 1887. He had a prolific, but short career, designing commercial and residential buildings, and the church was his most prominent commission. The style of St. Andrew’s is the Scottish response to the Jacobethan Revival in nineteenth-century England, and was a popular style for Scottish country houses. Drawing on the characteristics of fortified medieval tower houses and castles in Scotland, the style employs such elements as battlements, tourelles, and conical roofs as a declaration of national identity. Polychrome red and black banding demonstrates an awareness of contemporary architectural trends in England. The interior retains its distinctive amphitheatre seating with surrounding balcony, wrought-iron balustrades, and high vaulted ceiling; interior features have remained in notably intact original condition. The organ, in a round-arched surround inscribed with the text 'The Lord is in His Holy Temple – Let All the Earth keep Silence', is on axis with the entrance to the sanctuary. It retains some of the components from the organ that originally stood in the first St. Andrew’s, made by S.R. Warren & Son, Toronto. There are stained glass windows on the side and rear walls, including the large rose window. The church is also a highly sophisticated example of late Victorian-era construction, with massive brick structural walls; reputedly a million bricks were used to build the church. The complex roof truss system displays an early use of metal tension rods, which allowed the sanctuary to be spanned without interior columns.

Looking down E. Broad St. with the Norfolk Southern railroad line in the center and the F.M. Coker Cotton Warehouse on the right. The warehouse is part of the Warehouse Historic District as which was added to the National Register for Historic Places in 1988.
The Warehouse Historic District was developed relatively late because construction of the Georgia Railroad from Augusta in 1841 failed to bridge the North Oconee River, terminating instead at Carr's Hill on the east side opposite the Athens Factory; for the next forty years Athenians had to tediously haul freight from Carr's Hill across the river by wagon, as seen here. The Georgia Railroad finally bridged the river and built a new depot in the 1880s for both freight and passenger service, and by 1893 the district had begun to assume its present character. The Seaboard Railroad added another freight depot to the district at the turn of the century, and two other railroads later known as the Central of Georgia extended rail service to the warehouses on Foundry Street.
Stimulated by these rail connections, the warehouse district became a bustling area of shipping, wholesale, and storage enterprises including grocery distribution, cotton and fertilizer warehousing, and small industry; by 1926 it had become almost exclusively a warehouse and wholesale center.
The Farmers Hardware Building (not shown) has recently been converted into lofts; the Hodgsons Oil Building (not shown) has been renovated and is now home to the UGA Police Department, Office of Public Affairs, and the Office of Real Estate and Space Management. The strip of run-down little warehouses along Foundry Street behind today's Classic Center have been very much cleaned up and the addition of a new bus and train station as well as a highrise building seen here on the left have given the area quite a different and urban feel.

A friend of mines half scale Sideshow Terminator, with built in lights. Apart from crop and border, this is straight from camera. It sits in an alcove in his house, so all the lighting you see is produced from the statue. Infact, if you look closly, you can see me!

I Didn't use bricklink back then so i bought some Castle themed LEGO and a Star Wars Ship (and lots of other sets) which resulted in not the exact replica of the model also i didn't want it to have the factory offline look but a action pose.

He looked more like a yankee but the scene was pretty fun ^^
I really like the angle shot, but you can see another view of the scene on the screen behind them ;)
The TXR-7000(named after the "Terminator" from the movie) was invented in 2014 by the FM Advanced Technology company. Original models had thinner arms and legs, but were armored and thickened after reports of bullets and too much carrying weight would break off arms and legs. Also, a "ski" was placd on each foot because the robots sometimes would fall over.
Soldiers in their young twenties would be reqruited for this job that were(as the Army put it) good at video games. The single soldier would operate the TXR with a video game controller and a video game fake gun for a gun controller. The sight of the robot would be seen on a portable television.
The operators said it was rather fun to operate the TXRs because it was like a video game. One they would buy, they joked.
A army of robots would be unlikely because the TXRs were slow compared to humans and were used along side humans. Other TXRs were equiped with anti-tank guns and other TXRs soon were adapted to operate tanks. But all TXRs were operated by humans because the reactions of the Terminators were too slow when not under human control.
Congradulations if you read it all.
