BIMEC - Batalhão de Infantaria Mecanizado / Mechanized Infantry Battalion.
Leopard 2A6 Main Battle Tank.
War medals of World War 1 awarded to my grandfather George William Hardy, Private with 116th Battalion Canadian Infantry.
After a lifetime of observing the creatures that live by the sea, there is no doubt in my mind that to a certain degree at least, the health of the beachside ecosystem has Soldier Crabs as one barometer. These hard shelled, blue crabs, the size of a big marble swam about in large choreographed numbers and a prodigious diggers. If disturbed they will dig into the sand in a second or two. This was only a fraction of the number that were plying about on the sand at North Bribie Island on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
In large numbers and if it's quiet you can actually hear them marching!
Here's the link. I have been fascinated since I was a young child.
Back from a hiatus. First, I am happy to announce the release of my website, picklegambino.com. It will function as a sort of "home base" for my content, including LEGO posts, free decals (!), and more! Not sure how successful it will be, but least I learned how to do some coding...
Anyway, announcement over.
This tank is interesting for its involvement in the four day-long slugfest to capture La Fière Bridge on June 6-9, "probably the bloodiest small unit struggle in the experience of American arms." (PBS) The little stone bridge was significant for crossing the Merderet River, which separated Utah Beach from the inland. Soldiers of the 507th PIR of the 82nd Airborne faced German grenadiers and a contingent of captured French Hotchkiss H39 and Renault R35 tanks manned by the 100th Panzer Training and Replacement Battalion (check out my other posts). This Panzer III attempted to lead a charge across bridge, but it was quickly knocked out by bazooka fire.
Hopefully more to come in the future...
Before the battalion arrived, we were sent in as usual to soften up the resistance. Same thing here on Kardoa as with every other kriffing Separatist stronghold. Cut off from any escape route once our positions were found, sprinting between inadequate bits of cover... yeah. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it, you know, for our commanders to suffer so many casualties by putting us out there... but then I see the havoc we cause before our battalion even arrives, and I'm proud to risk it all every time.
The blaster effect was achieved with my phone's flashlight, covered by a trans-green piece of plastic and limited by a small hole poked in construction paper.
This patch was used by the United States Army's 2nd and 5th Ranger Battalions from 1943-1946.
This design was replaced by the Ranger Battalion scroll patches which were authorized during W.W. II and remain in use today.
This monument commemorates the sacrifices made by 500 pioneer volunteers who joined the U.S. Army during the Mexican War. The 100-foot tall granite and bronze monument was sculpted by Gilbert Riswald and dedicated in 1927. Figures appear on all sides of the monument, chronicling periods of the battalion's history.
The monument is located at the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City, UT.
I made some figs which represent british volunteer fighters at the battle of Jarama in 1937. There is a machine gun crew in the middle and two volunteers on either side

Three of the features in the Blackcap Basin section of the western John Muir Wilderness have military names: Battalion, Regiment, Division. This is Battalion Peak (12,323'). Below its steep flanks, Battalion Lake sits out of view from here.

"My squad's at half strength and my brain feels like it's been toasted, if anything we should be rotated back to Kamino not back out into the field. Command said it was because we proved to be resistant to the spear's affects, but only me and Lucky were on Cularin the other five troopers under my command are fresh recruits, transfers from the 501st. If we do end up encountering that blasted spear again there's no way it'll end well..."

So I completely copied Justin Pyne for the helmet, but I really like how it looks and my original attempt at stickers failed miserably with the stickers sticking to everything but the trooper and every attempt to properly cut the stickers failing, but hey next time.
I'm still working on the build which might be up tomorrow or might be up next weekend who knows?
Also a reminder for the gents in the 253rd, make sure you post your squads!

This is Part one of a possible series of 5 I hope to finish from our seaweed day. Stephen uploaded a fantastic image last week www.flickr.com/photos/stephencairns/12043511013/ so I tried to pick a different angle and mood to start with.
With the new enemy rising, Australia has taken it to themselves and a few allies to take them down. Artillery and armor are being sent in battalions to be used against the enemy, Russia.
