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.

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.
1979 Dodge 100 Commando G08 cherry picker registered AMS182V, off the road since 1998. Still carries the livery of Ritchies of Haddington, who were engaged with international haulage and evidently access hire services too. The Dodge is visible in this position from satellite view going back at least 17 years. It almost looks like a Matchbox or Dinky toy in this charming colour scheme... Seen here hiding in some bushes in East Lothian in January 2026.
Atlantikwall Regelbau L487 Bertha - Commando Bunker for Luftwaffe Night-fighter From World War 2 1945.
Bunker L487 is a ww2 German bunker for radio measurement device evaluation for night fighter control "Bertha" in English.
The Bunker L487 communications is 22.10 meters long, 22.90 meters wide and 8.60 meters high and has two floors.
The night fighter (also known as all-weather fighter or all-weather interceptor for a period of time after World War II) is a fighter aircraft adapted for use at night or in other times of bad visibility. Night fighters began to be used in World War I and included types that were specifically modified to operate at night.
During World War II, night fighters were either purpose-built night fighter designs, or more commonly, heavy fighters or light bombers adapted for the mission, often employing radar or other systems for providing some sort of detection capability in low visibility. Many WW II night fighters also included instrument landing systems for landing at night, as turning on the runway lights made runways into an easy target for opposing intruders. Some experiments tested the use of day fighters on night missions, but these tended to work only under very favorable circumstances and were not widely successful.
Avionics systems were greatly miniaturized over time, allowing the addition of radar altimeter, terrain-following radar, improved instrument landing system, microwave landing system, Doppler weather radar, LORAN receivers, GEE, TACAN, inertial navigation system, GPS, and GNSS in aircraft. The addition of greatly improved landing and navigation equipment combined with radar led to the use of the term all-weather fighter or all-weather fighter attack, depending on the aircraft capabilities. The use of the term night fighter gradually faded away as a result of these improvements making the vast majority of fighters capable of night operation.

Tonight's Net Flicks candidate:
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

100% Made in France neon lights, alpha male warriors, excessive violence, and bare breasts purely for free: it's the 80s with Commando Ninja, a movie that pays homage to the greatest action-type clichés with whom we grew up to become the degenerate beings steeped in pop culture that we are today.

Shayetet 13 is a naval special forces unit and is one of the main reconnaissance units of the Israeli Defense Forces. Trained for sea, air, and land operations, Shayetet 13 specializes in counterterrorism, sabotage, special reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, maritime hostage rescue, and boarding.
The unit has been involved in virtually all of Israel’s major wars, and its operations are highly classified. Shayetet 13 is considered one of the best special forces units in the world, comparable to the US Navy Seals.
Shayetet 13 was founded in 1949 and today is composed of around 300 personnel. Its motto is "As the bat emerges from the darkness, As the blade cuts through with silence, As the grenade smashes in rage."
God bless

A commando droid shield like the one in the "Citadel" Arc. It has another sideways handle similar to the LEGO Knights shields so the droids can also hold it with their sideways hands.
La Ensign Commando, càmera britanica fabricada per Houghton-Butcher, té certes característiques curioses. Fou disenyada durant la II Guerra Mundial com a càmera per al exèrcit britanic, però el conflicte acabà quan amb prou feines s'havia començat a a fer servir. Per tant, Houghton-Butcher la adaptà al mercat civil. L'altra detall interesant és que el mètode d'enfoc no és movent la lent, sino el pla focal. Tota la pel·licula es mou endavant i endarrera contra una planxa tensora. Finalment, aquesta és una càmera de 2 formats, 6x6 i 6x4,5 cm. Però a diferencia d'altres models que necessitaven un marquet reductor extraible (que SEMPRE acaba perdut), en aquest cas el marc reductor de format està format per dues planxes giratories a banda i banda del enquadrament (com si fossin porticons).
L'objectiu és un Ensar Anastigmat f3.5 de 75mm i l'obturador un Ensign Epsilon.
Aquest exemplar en questió és la versió civil del 1946, just després de la versió militar, i és la meva segona Commando, ja que l'anterior tenia diversos problemes (era un model lleugerament posterior). Pels nº de serie de objectiu i obturador (13XX i 9XX) sembla prou inicial dins del periode de producció.
============================================
The Ensign Commando, a British camera manufactured by Houghton-Butcher, has certain unusual features. It was designed during the World War II as a military camera for the British Army, but the conflict ended when it had hardly begun to be used. Therefore, Houghton-Butcher adapted it to the civil market. The other interesting detail is that the focusing is not achieved moving the lens, but rather the focal plane. All the film moves forward and back against a tension plate. Finally, this is a 2 format camera, 6x6 and 6x4.5 cm. But unlike other models that nee a removable frame (which ALWAYS ends up lost), in this case the reducer frame is formed by two integral rotating plates on both sides (as if they were shutters).
Lens is an Ensar Anastigmat f3.5 75mm in an Ensign Epsilon leaf shutter.
This example in question is the civil version of 1946, and it's my second Commando (first one wasn't usable. It's interesing how early seems to be in the production line, as it's lens serial number is only 13XX and the shutter even less, just a 9XX. Camera serial number is a C16XX.

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 .
Well, my football season ended prematurely, leading to more free time. With my ample time, I realized how distant from the hobby I was. So to make up for spare time, I did something I have always wanted to do, make my own Commando. I bought Star Wars: Republic Commando back in the summer, and I instantly fell in love with the game. This, and the release of Star Wars Battlefront II, revived the drive of wanting to dig out the tools and work with my parts. Also, I just realized that I missed my 7 year anniversary, which has also lead me on a trip down memory lane. I am more than grateful for the relationships and fun I have had on this website, and I hope that this will continue. Anyways, I'm done with the personal stuff, on to the figure.
The figure I have created is based off the basic Republic Commando from the Star Wars Universe. His name and color scheme are based off of my High School Football teams colors, maroon and white. The helmet and backpack were base commando parts from Clone Army Customs. The chest piece, knee pads, shoulder pads, and pouches are made from ProCreate. The crotch and ab pieces are cut from the Spartan Armor from BrickForge. I painted this myself with Apple Barrel and Citadel Paints.
Unfortunately, the only alternative to Neo-Classicism, Jacques-Louis David, the 'Terror', and the emergence of the Hero, Napoleon, was going 'full commando' with Boucher and Fragonard.
Funny thing, these patterns.
AI Overview
"Full commando" or "going commando" is informal slang meaning to wear no underwear, opting to go without underpants for comfort, airflow, or preference, a practice potentially originating from soldiers in hot climates avoiding rashes, and often used generally to mean forgoing standard protection.
Then along came Goya.

Brought a comic book character from my childhood into my collection. The comic wasn’t lengthy or very in depth, but I always loved the art style and design of the commandos.
Armor is from custombrickbuilder . Go support him while you can! Blaster is from clonearmycustoms. I used citadel and Apple barrel paints.
