Short description today, this is my version of a ReFrame, based on the mech Wars book, so look it up, it is good.
Very interesting build, very different from my usual build style, but I've learned so much, in fact, this is part one of the project, I'm going to build a hybrid ReFrame build using the original design and some of my own stuff, so stay tuned for the Valiant M version!
Thanks to Lu Sim for the input, It was really helpfull, og and the Gleace-gun does actually shoot, and has ground and air modes.
Hope you like it!
HMS Valiant was the first British nuclear submarine to be refitted and refuelled at Chatham Dockyard’s new nuclear power base in December 1966. It marked a significant expansion of the Royal Navy’s submarine branch during the 1960s, being the first all-British nuclear submarine and holding a special place in British naval history.
Constructed in Barrow-in-Furness during the Cold War, Valiant, although not built at Chatham, is significant to the Dockyard's history. In the 1960s, Chatham became a refitting and refuelling base for nuclear submarines, with Valiant being the first to visit for maintenance and Christmas leave in December 1966, leading to regular visits from nuclear submarines.
After departing Chatham, Valiant set a Royal Navy record in April 1967 by travelling 19,312 kilometres in 25 days while fully submerged on a return trip from Singapore to Scotland.
The Valiant measured 87 metres in length, had a beam of 10 metres, a draught of 8 metres, and a submerged displacement of 4900 tons. Submarines of the Valiant class were derived from the Dreadnought class but were marginally larger in dimensions.
The Valiant class consisted of nuclear-powered fleet submarines that were active in the Royal Navy from the mid-1960s until 1994. They were the first fully British nuclear fleet submarines, unlike the earlier HMS Dreadnought, which used an American reactor. The class included only two submarines: Valiant, commissioned in 1966, and Warspite, launched the following year.
Improvements over Dreadnought allowed the Valiants to operate much more quietly and included a Paxman diesel-electric generator for silent running. In most other aspects, the Valiants were similar to Dreadnought.
R.J. Daniel, former head of the Royal Corps of Naval Constructors, noted that US Admiral Hyman G. Rickover initially dismissed the Valiant class's proposed rafting system, which acoustically isolates machinery from the hull. This gave the Royal Navy a silencing advantage that the US Navy adopted much later.
The Valiants primarily served in anti-submarine roles during the Cold War and underwent several refits, including the ability to launch Harpoon missiles. They participated in the Falklands War in 1982.
Warspite was decommissioned in 1991, followed by Valiant in 1994 due to cracks found in her cooling system. Both submarines had successful careers and influenced the design of the Resolution-class ballistic missile submarines and subsequent Churchill-class fleet submarines.

Diamond's LF51 CYC (30402) is seen on Studley Road Island coming off the Washford Drive, before turning onto the Studley Road, with a 58 Matchborough Circular towards Redditch Bus Station. LF51CYC has also had the registration A9 UOB, which it wore for use on Wessex Connect (Rotala PLC) University of Bath services. A9UOB was new to Go-Ahead London Central as their VWL1. VWL 1 was mostly used on 486 services. It is a Volvo B7L/Wright Eclipse Metro.
Studley Road Island is usually good for photoing during the day as you can follow the sun around the island, but at the time I took this is better because you can also photo them on the Washford Drive. If you notice, you can see where the old centre door was because there is a little lip above where it was. In the interior, you can tell where the door was because the old control housing is still there.

Seen defiant of a scrapper's torch is one of (at the time) First Wyvern's Dennis Lances. After the sale of the Redditch operation to Diamond Bus (Rotala PLC), and a few weeks service with Diamond, this smart example was sold into preservation.
First Wyvern's M246 MRW (67246) is seen unloading at the Crooks Lane stop on Littlewood Green, Studley, while operating a 143 towards Birmingham Smallbrook Queensway. The 143 used to operate up to every hour between Studley and Birmingham. At the time it was a combination of the 67 (Studley to Redditch) and the 143 (Redditch - Birmingham), giving a direct service between Studley and the City. M246MRW was new in July 1995 to Midland Red West, as their 246. It is a Dennis Lance/Plaxton Verde.
Seen passing through a bus only section in Lakeside, Redditch, is one of Redditch's Versas. None of the car drivers follow the rule of the roads, and always pass through the bus only section, sometimes being too arrogant to move for the bus, and driving on the path to avoid reversing for it. However, when I witness this, the bus drivers maintain a professional image.
Diamond's YJ57 XVW (30968) is seen turning off Kingsley Avenue onto Arthur Street with a 67 towards Studley, where it will then do a loop of the village. The 67 operates up to every hour between Redditch Bus Station and Studley, along the Studley Road. YJ57XVW was new in February 2008 to Transdev's Burnley & Pendle operation, as their 259. It was branded as Transdev Starship. In late 2014/early 2015, Central Buses acquired this and three sister vehicles. XVW was allocated to their Kidderminster outstation, where it saw service on the 125. Sadly, in February 2018, Centrad decided to sell their bus operations to the Rotala PLC, where it has been integrated into their existing Diamond Bus operation. This Versa was transferred to Diamond's Redditch depots, and given the fleetnumber 30968 (previously Central 252). It is an Optare Versa V1110 and is Cummins powered.
The National Railway Museum’s former British Railways Standard Mark 1 (diagram 711) full brake coach VALIANT outside the station hall at the National Railway Museum at York. Monday 1st June 2009
Note, VALIANT was built in 1956 by Cravens Limited as part of Lot Number 30224 as British Railways number 81025. As a result of coaching stock being included in the TOPS numbering system in May 1983 81025 was renumbered 84025. It was withdrawn from service in July 1986 and purchased for preservation by the Merchant Navy Locomotive Preservation Society in 1988, being allocated the TOPS number 99783 circa 1990. It was purchased in 1995 by the Orient Express Northern Belle, and was purchased by then Railfilms Limited in ? (by 01/1996) as 84025 It was named VALIANT in 1997, renumbered 81025 in ? (between 01/200 and 01/2001) and was purchased circa 2007 by the National Railway Museum for static catering use, being renamed Countess of York in winter 2014

PACIFIC OCEAN, (June 18, 2006) – USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) and USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) carrier strike groups steam in formation during a joint photo exercise (PHOTOEX) in preparation for Valiant Shield 2006. The PHOTOEX featured 14 ships as well as 17 aircraft from Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corp including a B2 bomber. The Kitty Hawk Carrier Strike Group is currently participating in Valiant Shield 2006, the largest joint exercise in recent history. Held in the Guam operating area (June 19-23), the exercise involves 28 Naval vessels including three carrier strike groups, more than 300 aircraft and more than 20,000 service members from the Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.
