A fitting memorial to some of the bravest men in history.

Commandos are much too tough to be concerned about a little rain, but the statues at the Commando Memorial near Spean Bridge in Lochaber were about to be hit by a very heavy deluge! Facing the incoming weather, the memorial overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle.

The Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge
Another trawl through the archives. this was taken more years ago than I care to remember on my first digital camera, an old Fuji Finepix. The quality is a bit dodgy but I think it is a good representation of the atmosphere of the place.
We are the offspring of warriors;
In days of darkness and despair
we are the future they could not see.
We are the destiny they hoped for.
The generations yet unborn
for which they fought and died.
The inheritance for which many waded
through blood and survived
to live a life imprisoned in bodies
maimed and mangled
by the inhumanity of war.
We are the offspring of warriors:
Men and women who remain
bloodied but unbowed.
Perfect in spirit and brotherhood.
See their path before you.
They have left a road much travelled.
The Road to Valour.
The Path of Truth.
Each paved with integrity, with bravery,
with blood, sweat, and tears.
May the tracks we leave behind
for our future generations
be as worthy of the journey
as the ones we now follow.
Do not tread upon their footsteps.
Walk beside them, learn from them
and leave your own mark
for others to pursue.
We are the offspring of warriors:
Their voices echo down the years
exhorting us to stay strong,
to be vigilant in our own battles,
to recognise our true enemies.
They cry in horror as we so easily
give up the freedoms for which they laid down their lives.
Their lives demand that we too
make our word our bond,
that we too stand up for what we believe in
That we too represent our truth
with integrity, with perseverance.
That we too may leave a legacy
and not just a memory.
We are the offspring of warriors:
With clear hearts and eyes
we all march down a path in history.
Whether, in the telling of our journeys,
we weave a tapestry of greatness or of loss,
that story will be told to our generations.
Make it a tale worth the telling,
for we are the offspring of warriors.

A Rebel Commando is a Rebel Trooper trained for special forces operations. Rebel Commandos fought in the Battle of Endor. As well trained soldiers, Rebel Commandos were often used for scouting and demolition missions. The commandos on Endor were a special 12-man team with members from all seven Regiments of the Alliance Special Forces, they helped out Princess Leia, Chewbacca and Han Solo blow up the shield generator to the Death Star II.

Miami International's compounds were notorious - and mostly inaccessible!
In my case I never got to try so I had to be content with just some brief glimpses from Eastern Airlines Tristar, DC-10 and Boeing 727 cabin windows when flying in and out during a 1980s family holiday
In this shot there's a real mix.
Behind are at least four Douglas DC-6s including N93BL (to the right) plus at the back, are pair of Convair 340/440s
There's a DC-9 tucked in there too but the two stars are a pair of Curtiss C-46's (Commando when miltary) - one is tucked nose-on behind N89BL being front and centre

Hi all,
We have just restocked the sold out printed commando helmets now. And we made more two new ones for you. Niner and Skirata helmets. By the way, we also release a new color dark gray in our Sci-Fi helmets. Hope you like it.
But I'm sorry that we can't make it for the other sold out items at this time. e.g. Utapau and 501st airborne helmets. And due to the post office closing schedule. We will temporarily close store from 9th December to 1st of next January. I'm sorry again for inconvenience.
I had them lined up and thought a picture would look nice :3 This pic makes Gregor's helmet look so ugly ;___; It's not really like that.
Oh yeah, I'm redesigning Shadow Squad again. Look out for that within the next few weeks.
I've been building my Space Police army recently but I have fallen behind with pictures.
Time to put that to rights, I'll start small with these three commandos. Watch out for more coming soon!

The commando monument near Spean Bridge in Lochaber. Unveiled in 1952 by the Queen Mother. A well known Category A listed monument dedicated to the men of the British Commando forces raised during WWII. Monument sits in a prominent site and looks over the area used for training with the mighty Ben Nevis and Aonoch Mhor as a backdrop. Took this moody shot as the sun was trying to pierce through the clouds. Looks like the statues are looking into the light...
Here is it with his finish helmet. I'm kinda proud of that helmet it's just impossibly awesome. Let me know what do you think of him.
Thanks

As we walked through the catacombs, Blast and Nix took the front, while Sharp and I filled in the rear. I was thinking about that helmet, and what could of killed that trooper so brutally. As we were walking, I heard the mechanical clank of a droid, along with the chittering of a Geonosian. I had no time to warn Blast when a huge half Geonosian, half droid charged in front of him and kicked him in the chest with his metal foot. Blast hit the ground hard, and went limp. Nix ducked behind a rock as the droid slowly walked past. As he did, I realized that the helmet belonged to a Commando, and this must have been the thing that killed him. Sharp quickly drew his rifle, and started shooting. The thing took the shots surprisingly well, as he slowly walked towards us. I finally snapped to attention, and shot him at the same time as Sharp. We hit him directly on his head, which sent him down. I quickly ran over to Blast, and found him still breathing, but his chest armor heavily damaged, and a small amount of blood seeping through. I scooped him up, and we kept walking.

This shot has a really weird angle, mostly because of how big the mechanical wings turned out to be. Do you guys think its not too bad? Also, what do you think of the Geonosian?
I finally finished Zondkar Commando with many varieties of weapons and equipment , worth around 10 Commando name , I took that piece that covered the front of the pelvis and I colored the head with black stripes .
During the Second World War British Commandos and other specialist forces trained in this remote part of north-west of Scotland - an area that was completely closed off for secrecy.
This memorial, located at Spean Bridge, near Fort William, commemorates the Commandos. This is the area they trained in.
Close nearby is a poignant area put aside for personal tributes to individual Commandos - to those who died in that war but also there are many more modern additions as their deadly job continues.
My photo was taken in "Summer" but if you look closely there are still very small areas of snow on the mountains.
