I hadn't really planned on train chasing, but Mike phoned me to say what he was doing, so I thought what the heck, I may as well do the same. Rolling cautiously into Watco's base at Warwick, the train will stop here for an hour while the locos are refuelled.
"That's it?"
"Fort Zhukov, mates. Used to be a shining example of soviet imperialism."
AP: "Now it's a rats nest."
RH: "Most are, Patton."
AP: "This ain't your first deactivated soviet base?"
RH "Not my first military base if that's what your asking."
"Stay focused, ya bellends."
"Y'know, it's not as big as I though it'd be. Doesn't look like a military base. More like a prison...."
RH: "....most are."
AP: "There's only one gate and the walls are pretty tall. Not to mention the concrete's gotta be thick."
"May look impregnable, but this ol' Fort ain't ran by the commies no more. Just raggered locals walkin' around in night gowns."
"Still, breaking in is gonna be all kinds of a pain in the dick. Destroying it is just another layer of hell."
AP: "You brought the Sky Slayer along, right? It's got airstrike capabilities. Though honestly I'd rather have an A-10..."
RH: "Plus we left it at an airbase in Laitava. Stealth chopper or not it goes over the border and they'll probably catch wind that the sky's gonna be on fire soon."
AP: "The Sky Slayer's stealth VS whatever decades-old radar this place has? You shitting me?"
RH: "Kinyetz loves his tech. He's probably got modern radar, and the stuff the Chinese and Russians got now make's all of Uncle Sam's jets just another waste of taxpayer money."
AP: "Yeah, lower frequency stuff. Shit, Sky Slayer's set up like modern jets, only higher frequency radars."
"Does it matter? Sky Slayer's pretty much immune to missiles."
"Lookit all them SAMs, lad. All the gizmos on your chopper might not do that much it all that's comin' at ya at once."
AP: "He's right. Sky Slayer can deal with a couple SAM's and another aircraft but all that down there? Too much to handle, one's gonna get through."
RH: "Well, this base was made in the like the 80s, can't all be analogue down there. Gotta be able to hack into those SAMs and shut them down remotely. Hell, self destruct could be possible."
"The more shit that blows up the better. Those fuel silos will definitely be the first to go when we bust in."
"Alot of lights on the walls, though. Can't get them by surprise if they see us a mile out."
AP: "Like eyepatch said, can't all be analogue. Maybe we can just disable everything remotely and kick the place into the dark ages."
RH: "Biggest problem is I don't have a single idea how to do that."
"Gon' be honest with you blokes, don't think we have enough soldiers on our team for this, anyway. May not look big but I see alot o' wankers in rags down there carrying all kinds of Kalashnikovs. Some are new, shiny AK-12s...."
"Maybe the Wymarcie military can help us?"
RH: "Yeah, good luck with that. Most outdated, unmotivated armed forces on the entire damned planet on our side backing us up against these animals. Hell, Kinyetz probably has them under his thumb."
"The kid in the village wasn't. All we need to do is boost their morale ourselves. But how....."
AP: "Well, I see a place I can help out from. That radio mast about half a mile out to the northwest would be a pretty good sniping spot."
'Sniping from a radio tower?"
AP: "I can do it!"
RH: "Anybody notice that hatch by the west wall?...."
"Look, we got a fuckload of stuff on our plates as is. Let's just go home and try to figure things out. Most importantly how to turn the everything off on this place."
"Sounds like a plan."
AP: "Break!"
RH: "Wonder what's in there...."

I realized that the colour scheme I choose for Module 1 did not match the rest of the base so I've re-done it in red.

Thinking about changing my orange / trans light blue Nexus Force space base to blue / trans-yellow for Classic Space. I've already built 99% of the base in orange, I just needed to build the large power supply room and the second "T" intersection to finish it, but now I'm not so sure if this would be a better color choice to compliment my modified Benny's SPACESHIP! and support fighter craft. (Benny's ship shown in picture, but the other ships are not.) Oh, and the white plates are actually light grey / bley base-plates in various sizes, with a 1970's crater plate added in a corner.
Overall, around a $200 (US) changeover if done all at once... which it probably won't be done like that.
Any thoughts or suggestions on this are always welcome!

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence took on the Quake rugby team in a game of kickball in Cal Anderson Park, on Seattle's Capitol Hill. It was a fundraiser for the Capitol Hill Alano Club.
This beautiful Mercedes Hispano, based at Stranorlar in Co. Donegal, smiles for the camera. Fleet number MH33, registration number 99 D 58123. She is seen here in the Ulsterbus bus depot at Foyle Street in Derry City, shortly before operating on the evening service route 480 from Derry to Ballybofey, via Carrigans, St. Johnston, Raphoe, Convoy, Stranorlar, and Ballybofey.
This bus was new in 1999, spent a short while on CIE Tours work, then spent most of her service life operating on route 32 from Letterkenny to Dublin, which at the time operated via Lifford, Strabane, Omagh, Aughnacloy, Emyvale, Monghan town, Castleblayney, Carrickmacross, Ardee, Collon, and Slane, with a request stop at Ashbourne, then on the N2 into Dublin City (Busaras). These days the 32 route operates via Dublin Airport, so as normal from Letterkenny to Castleblayney, it now stops on the outskirts of Carrickmacross town, stops at the bypass at Ardee, then straight up the M1 to Dublin Airport, then into Busaras bus station in Dublin City. In some cases this bus would do 2 trips a day, depending on the particular rostar that she was on on that day.
In approximately 2007, she was downgraded to schools work, and can now usually be found around the Ballyshannon area of County Donegal. One man drives this bus all the time, and he keeps her looking exceptionally well. You've really got to hand it to him, he is a credit to the company.
This powerful coach (powerful being the operative word) is fitted with a Mercedes V8 Twin Turbo engine, amazing tork from it. MH33 has well over 2 millions miles on her clock at this stage, and believe it or not, still retains it's original engine. Some of the MH class were known for being problematic, but this bus has never given an ounce of trouble since she arrived on the scene in 1999, apart from the basic work that coaches need to go through during their lives, this bus has never needed any major work done to it, she was always the star performer. The MH (Mercedes Hispano), in a class of it's own.
Thats our way to get a well presentation for our minfigures.
There is a standard base for one minfigure wich can be connected with another one. Two bases are connected by the legs of a minifigure in the retral line. So you get two lines of minfigures with a great view of all of them.

A childhood dream come true: This is the Moon Base I would have loved to have when I was a kid: 9×3 baseplates filled with stations, vehicles and spaceships.

The Perrine Memorial Bridge spans the majestic Snake River Canyon on the northern edge of Twin Falls, ID. The bridge is 1,500 feet long, with a deck height of 486 feet above the Snake River. It is the eighth highest bridge in the United States.
BASE jumpers enjoy the Perrine Bridge year-round as the launching point for parachuting to the canyon floor below. BASE is an acronym which stands for Building, Antenna, Span and Earth. These four categories relate to the types of exit points most typically used by BASE jumpers. Jumping off the bridge is incredible, but I was more impressed that after a jump, the jumpers would climb, up and up and up, from the river to the bridge deck to jump again and again.
