MAJORAS' MASK (Project: Terrible Fate)
First step after primer, the base coat. In this case I used a wood color for the front of the mask because when I paint with the other colors there will be areas where those colors will be faded revealing the base coat simulating wood. As for the back of the mask I used a metallic spray simulating metal. It looks too shiny and clean but now comes the fun part! weathering, with this I will make sure everything looks old, rusty and beaten.
RC-135 Rivet Joint reconnaissance aircraft moves into position behind a KC-135T/R Stratotanker for an aerial refueling at a speed greater than 250 knots over Southwest Asia. When connected to the refueling boom, the aircraft will receive more than 40,000 pounds of fuel allowing it to remain on station or move on to other stations to perform its mission. The RC-135 flightcrew of Capt. Mike Edmondson, pilot; 1st Lt. Erik Todoroff, copilot; and 1st Lt. Chris Young, navigator are deployed to the 763rd Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron, in Southwest Asia, from 343rd Reconnaissance Squadron, Offutt Air Force Base, Neb. They are natives of East Moline, Il., Jackson, Mich., and Charleston S.C.. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Lance Cheung)

One viewers asked if a similar shot I posted earlier was an HDR (High Dynamic Range) image. It is not. It is a single image that just happened to be shot when everything was just right (light, luminosity, reflection, camera settings, etc. ). To give credit where credit is due, even a blind squirrel can find a nut once in a while!

Perhaps surprisingly, it did not seem to be a problem to park among the final approach lights at Ramstein Air Base after a Sunday afternoon drive!
EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska (April 27, 2020) - An F-35A Lightning II from the 388th Fighter Wing at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, takes off for Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, April 27. Four fighter jets from Hill will be on loan to the 354th Fighter wing at Eielson as they stand up F-35A operations. More jets on hand at Eielson allows for more operational and maintenance training.

Douglas Adamek, 4th Quartermaster Detachment (Airborne), of Fayetteville, N.C., demonstrates the compass center-hold method during land navigation training at Training Area 7B, JBER-Richardson, on July 26.

I added some trees to my moc and i also added a zipline that goes from the roof of the base to a tree. Its pretty cool and the zipline idea was inspired by michaelmgf. Also my base should be done very soon. :)

My Blacktron Base, built March 2010 - My biggest moc since i came out from my dark ages - It started as a small outpost, but grew and grew, so that i had to stop the build because i run out of parts - If i ever manage to visit a convention i have to transfer it on a standart baseplate - I also tried to build some playable features and came out with a foldable entrance stairway, a Tower with a roof that can be opened and a foldable Ladder, the big canopie can be removed and there are several balconies to mount the weapons -
It is a long journey from the capital Juba to reach remote communities on the West Bank of the Nile.
First, it takes an early morning flight to Malakal over its large United Nations protection site, then a short hop via helicopter to Kodok, and finally an hour-long ride with the Bangladeshi riverine patrol.
The trip is an opportunity for the Head of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan to assess potential sites for a new peacekeeping base. There are a number of factors in favour of establishing a presence in Kodok.
“Firstly, we don’t have a presence on the western bank of the Nile and it is very difficult to get here if we don’t have a presence already,” says UNMISS head and Special Representative of the Secretary-General, David Shearer. “Secondly, while the security situation is the responsibility of the Government, I think it would be a positive step if we can provide confidence and add to that sense of stability so that people can come back. Thirdly, humanitarian organizations may be encouraged to establish themselves here if the UN has a regular presence.”
Along with a mini boom in the local wildlife in the form of a resident, loved, and protected tame ostrich, people are also beginning to return to the area. The market is still very short on supplies, but it is beginning to bustle with activity. Children are also back in school, eager to return to their lessons.
The community wants the UN to set up a base to provide a protective presence for internally displaced persons and refugees returning from camps in Sudan. It is hoped that, with their coming back, life will begin to become normal again.
There is also hope that the second round of talks during the High Level Revitalization Forum in Addis Ababa will help build durable peace in Kodok and across South Sudan.
“The hope for peace is the wish of everybody,” says Fashoda State Deputy Governor, Nyiker Okoth Awin. “We are still hopeful that the coming round of talks will bring peace, not the same day, but that it is a process that will start from that day, as people start negotiating and put away their differences and work for peace.”
Locals say the UN’s help with this process and bringing peace to Kodok is vital.
“People are coming from many different places and they need food. We also need a reliable water supply and the bridge needs to be rebuilt,” says Paramount Chief Paulino Tipo. “We need the UN to protect the citizens here so they can come back safely.”
Down the river from Kodok, the environment is less welcoming.
Wau Shilluk has the appearance of a ghost town although it is difficult to know what is going on behind the multitude of large corrugated iron-type compounds.
Local authorities limit the access of the UN team to the town’s main street. In the past few days, about 100 people have left Wau Shilluk for the safety of the nearby protection site at Malakal. Very few women and children seem to remain in town.
The Governor for the Central Upper Nile, James Tor Munybuny, says that is because of a lack of services in the area, with many people choosing to return to the surrounding villages rather than the town itself.
Malakal was one of the worst hit areas during the height of the civil war. Today, the security situation has improved with people moving freely between the UN protection site and the town during the day.
“Malakal has seen a lot of changes. The security situation here is quite calm. You can see there is peace,” says the Governor. “Now we need to move away from emergency management to increasing the level of partnerships to build the capacity of the community and try to change the humanitarian situation by improving the most basic infrastructure, like schools, health facilities, and water points for the growing population.”
The focus across this region is building trust and confidence so that families can safely return to their homes and look forward to a peaceful and prosperous future. A permanent UN presence in Kodok may go some way to achieving that.
