+3 in cmnts. All are almost sooc.
Rex got so big since I saw him in September! But he's just as hyper and goofy and crazy.
I think I like this lightboxed.
Playing fetch this morning for the first time with Lily, I'd throw this ball and she'd go get it and bring it back. I'd throw it again and she'd go get it and bring it back. Finally she got tired of me throwing it every time she brought it back ... so this time, she brought it back but put it behind a small bush to keep me from getting it and throwing it again!
From my Ponce Inlet set.
Lots of folks bring their dogs to the inlet because it's one of the few places where you're allowed to take pets in Daytona. Ponce Inlet is actually a couple of towns south of Daytona proper, and a whole world more delightful! This is one place where you still can get away from the crowds and find some peace. I thoroughly enjoyed the two days i spent wandering there to bring you these shots!

Actually, Crescent is such a talented retriever that he has trained the frisbee to play fetch with HIM ;) Silly, silly little boy.
These 'figs never thought that zombies could ever really happen; it was just too far-fetched a thing to occur.
They were wrong.
Luckily, they were prepared.
Well stocked in BrickArms and bullets, thanks to gunsmith and reloader Bert.
Ready to battle the undead with Bert's ex-Marine son, Jason.
With plenty of supplies and a remote mountain bug-out location thanks to prepper (who no one calls paranoid anymore) Sally.
Medically cared for due to the skill of Doctor Alexander Harris.
At times held together as a team because of the dedicated motivational speeches of their all-rounder, Dino.
And thanks to mechanic Joe's infected boss, (he kept use off-road toy at work, but was bitten before he could get to it) they had a ride ready to come through Armageddon and back, their mighty V-plow Unimog 416. Up-armored with ar500 steel around the cabin doors and frame, sandbags on the floor, and steel bars over the windows and around the cargo bed.
Although they could have armed her with a mighty .50 caliber M2HB, they opted for the easier to feed (due to weight and space requirements, and availability of ammo,) M1919, in still devastatingly effective .30-06.
They also fitted her with a v-plow, her signature "weapon." Although it is not designed to kill zombies, it is still capable of doing considerable damage as it pushes them out of the way, without having to deal with undead attackers getting stuck on spikes.
The team's overall philosophy is simple.
Be ready for every potential danger, and avoid every potential danger whenever possible.
The V-Plow 'Mog has proved very effective, allowing the team to go places that few other vehicles of similar size could, and survive not only zombies, but hostile human raiders as well.
Background.
I started this project at least 18 months ago, but never declared it finished. When I saw the latest BA contest, I knew I had to enter. So I tore it down to the frame and chassis, used the design elements I liked, and rebuilt everything else, unifying the color from a mix of light and dark gray, to just light gray. My apologies for the mix of old and new grays, but my collection is not large enough to use one or the other. I completely redid the cage/rear roll bars, added the doors, changed the weapon mounting system, added a pseudo-steering/suspension system, and made quite a few others changes. This is the first time that I have declared the project finished, or uploaded it anywhere, so I feel that I am safe in regards to the "new creation" requirement.
As for BrickArms used in the vehicle itself, I used
roughly 15+ U-Clips (black, these were essential to the bars and cage parts of the design. Man I love those things.)
1 M1919 (black)
1 SABR shotgun (brown)
1 Mosin Nagant (black)
1 M16-AGL (black)
1 baseball bat (gunmetal)
Seen on the primary 'figs:
2 M1911's v2 (1 black, 1 over-molded)
1 M1917 revolver (gunmetal)
1 combat knife (silver)
3 machetes (1 silver, 1 titanium I believe, and 1 black)
2 kurkis (silver)
2 SABR shotguns (1 brown, 1 black)
1 baseball bat (brown)
1 ARC (black)
1 HAC (black)
1 M16 (black)
And seen on the background 'figs:
2 M1851 revolvers ( black, one of which was lost in the snow while taking pictures. Silly me.)
As to using the snow as a photography medium. The idea was likely planted in my head by the beautiful showcase by SuperSpyx of his marvelous Polar Predator. I mean no infringement on your genius, but given my lack of photo-editing ability, it was snow, or printer paper and a sheet in the house. If you consider this my attempt to steal your thunder... well... it's a little late to take other pictures, but I will gladly do so if you wish.
Roxy Bear is a great retriever, now she is adding water to her skills. She had her first swim today in the Salinas River.
Out with daughter looking for dragonfly and we decided it was easier to photograph dogs jumping into the Black Pond in Esher Common.
Grey heron with stick. Fishers Green, Lea Valley, Hertfordshire. D7100_22688.NEF. Many thanks for views, comments and favourites.
