Okay, so I figured it's high time I did a mech that wasn't a bug. I was inspired by the Tau Broadside Battlesuit from Warhammer 40K, but wanted to go much MUCH bigger with this one. Something more appropriate to Battletech or Robotech.
THRESHER - HEAVY ASSAULT MECH
After nearly three years in delays, the thresher is finally ready for combat. The thresher was designed as a "Front Line Artillery Mech". While Front Line and Artillery may seem like contradictions, the goal of the designers was to make a direct fire mech with as much firepower as a heavier slower artillery mech.
The Thresher's main weapons are the two giant Particle Projection Cannons (PPCs) mounted on it's shoulders. These massive guns are of a scale otherwise only found on capitol ships' weapon mounts. Each PPC has it's own generator and massive dedicated heat sinks allowing for an alarming rate of fire.
The Thresher's secondary weapons include a variety of missiles as well as pulse lasers and a Gatling cannon. The mech is heavily shielded and armored.
Though it looks ponderous, the Thresher is surprisingly nimble if not particularly fast. It is however equipped with jump jets allowing it sudden short bursts of speed, and the ability to leap over many obstacles.
Combat trials have shown that the Thresher's main liability is it's tendency to attract the attention of everything else on the field once it begins firing. Current doctrine dictates that the Thresher wait until the battle is fully joined before opening fire, allowing it to maximize on the confusion.
Armaments:
2 capitol scale PPCs
(shoulder mounted)
2 arm mounted LRM launchers
(6 missiles per arm - total 12)
4 arm mounted light pulse laser clusters
(6 lasers per arm - total 12)
2 shoulder mounted SRM launchers
(25 missiles per shoulder - total 50)
1 chest mounted Gatling cannon
(center chest directly under pilot)
So at last I can reveal the shield generator! However I have a confession: It's only half a shield generator. And at that, the two rings I have built are only finished on one side. It will take many more Bricklink orders to complete. I added some flames to suggest the empire at in the middle of destroying it! I hope you enjoy what I've done so far. I'll be displaying it at a show in Ireland next weekend.

This was a permission visit after sunrise.
A revisit to a local scrapyard that had loads of barn finds and salvage vehicles. Due to the council and environmental changes, a lot of the stuff had to be removed but there were some bits n pieces left in the buildings.

Generator wire holder that allows for easy removal. The customer came up with this idea and made it. I think I'll use this idea again. It's quite clever and effective.

if you look closly on the wheel, you can see the peeling paint remains from the gold pinstriping - they just don't make things like they use too.
YOUR COMMENT IS THE GREATEST "AWARD" YOU COULD GIVE -- No graphics please.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY COMMENTS!!!
Before General Veers destroyed the Rebels' main power generator, he sent a recon force to scout ahead and take out the rebels guarding the generator.
Only full telphoto shots show how BIG the disused generating hall of Didcot A power station really is. It dominates the landscape and only short trains can be used in a composition at this angle. Even a 3 car unit would be a bit too long

Some how I had lost the original so, I had to steal this from one of my sites. Sorry for the low quality.
People have asked how I built the shield generator. Here's the full technique. The outer uses 2x8 plates, with a 2x3 separating one end, and a 1x2-1x2 bracket attaching the curves (I tried using 1x2-1x4s, but the inner ring wouldn't fit on one side with them). Every fifth 2x8 plate has clips inserted to attach flex hose. The inner ring uses 1x4 plateswith a dot and bracked on one end, and a clip on the other. the clips are only half pressed in to their neighbours, so the spacing is 2½ plates at the inside end, and 3 plates at the outer end. Four inner segments are needed for every 5 outer segments. I did find the spacing of the inner segments slightly wider, so when building the full disc, it was necessary to sneak a few extra plates into the outer ring to compensate.
Hope this gives people enough to get started.
Sorry about the multi-coloured 2x8 plates - I used up all the grey ones!

The quiet places.
These are one of the things I enjoy most about my photography - the thrill of discovering and seeing with my own eyes the remote, little known and sometimes utterly deserted sites built on by man. I have no doubt of those thus far encountered, the vast majority I would never have visited (nor even known about) were it not for my desire to commit scenes like this one to permanent media. It's odd though, you'd be forgiven for thinking within this wide scope I might include historic buildings - abandoned churches, castles and the like, and in some cases you'd be right - except commonly these are still frequented by people and as such their interest wains for me. So how do I categorise these quiet places? Well, there are no hard and fast rules, but generally I find the less appeal a location has to the masses the more it holds for me. Old industrial sites, fortified remnants of the world wars, lighthouses, forgotten mines, ruined bridges and so forth all intrigue me. Does it have a single lane road, near-impassable dirt track or nothing at all leading to it? Chances are I will want to go there! Not listed on a map, cordoned off, hidden from sight by near-impregnable undergrowth? Tell me, where is it?!
So why do I like them so much? Well, leaving besides the obvious photographic possibilities, it's something about their auras. In my previous post I touched on how noise seems strangely amplified at night once people are sleeping - paradoxically enhanced when there's nobody to hear it. Of course, the cacophany we all make as we go about our daily lives is enough to drown out or deaden anything, and as you'll know visiting the kitchen in the middle of the night for a drink of water, or perhaps driving home after a night out with friends has a very different vibe than when all are awake and switched on... People create their own buzz, generating conflicting moods and atmospheres - they impress them not only upon themselves and others but also physical locations. Remove the people and the impressions fade. Remove them long enough and they vanish forever.
This building isn't completely bereft of activity, as you can perhaps tell from it's well maintained blockwork and fresh paint. It houses emergency generators for a working lighthouse, together with the frequency generators for a fog horn contained in the smaller building to the right. Despite this, just yards away is a row of five cottages that have remained empty for a decade, currently on the market for just under £1,000,000 the lot - or alternatively the same money will buy you the old, defunct lighthouse complex nearby now operating as a holiday let. Given the setting's extremely remote placement, as soon as I arrived I began to feel that familiar aura - an unmistakeable sense of solitude and calm. I've thought long and hard for a word that best describes my reaction to the mood(?), atmosphere(?), or ambience(?) that hits me when I'm at one of these quiet places. The closest I've come up with is reverence. It's a sense of profound pleasure at having been fortunate enough to visit, and a conscious, palpable regret that I may never have the opportunity to return.
When I occasionally meet other people at sites like this, I groan inwardly - knowing that social nicety (combined with the fact I have a camera on a tripod ergo instigating a talking point) will dictate us to interact, however briefly. It's not that I'm unsociable (my wife may disagree!), but I'm content in my own company. How odd then that conversely, chance encounters at quiet places are often with the most agreeable people one could hope to meet - as was the case here when Nick and Helen, as they introduced themselves, appeared beside me. We chatted a while about this and that before they headed on their way. My belief is a part of most of us enjoys these quiet places, yet at the same time we need affirmation that people are still within easy reach.

What is a 21st Century Energy Landscape?
Weather = Energy
The park is organized and designed to respond efficiently and creatively to climate. The intention is that the park serve as a barometer of regional weather events. WeatherField is simultaneously a public space, a dynamic energy icon, and a public weather service. The field is a registration of daily weather events including weather events such as Shamals winds, dense fog, and sandstorms, among others.
The Yas Island energy park is comprised of a field of 200 “Para-kites,” each is equipped with a base station of two flexible posts. Except for the posts that tether the para-kites, the ground and aquatic ecology is undisturbed. The para-kites use a parafoil system to remain aloft and a Windbelt™ system to harvest “flutter” energy from the wind.
At the Yas Island test site, the 200 para-kites extend across the site in a 60 meter grid that marks the tide levels. Each para-kite is capable of 6,220 kwh annually. Preliminary calculations generate approximately 21.6 kwh/month for each cell of the para-kite. With 24 cells per para-kite, that yields 518.4 kwh/month for each para-kite. Across the WeatherField, we calculate 1.24 GW annually, or about 620 energy-efficient homes. Or, more colloquially, each para-kite is able to power three homes for a year.

47418 derailed at the top of platform 5 at Liverpool Lime Street on 5th August 1984.
I seem to recall the Brush was bringing in a set of ECS for a Pennine service. and it looks like a case of road-spread as it appears to have derailed on plain line. Not massively spectacular and the only indication it has derailed is the proximity of the engine to the stock on platform 6!
This was a pretty unlucky loco - it was involved in a collision at Lunan Bay in Scotland in October 1975 when 40011 assisted it in rear, and promptly collided with the train causing 38 injuries and one fatality. In June 1976 it ran into a load of derailed track panels near Laurencekirk and itself derailed, with one rail entering the cab, another puncturing the fuel tank and another entering the engine room!
Its luck finally ran out in August 1992 when it was withdrawn. The loco was scrapped at Frodingham in December 1995.

I can get a record player, and a generator. Generate the music that makes you feel better.
i dont live in poverty, i got a little bit of money and i've got a healthy body. I'm not going to let stuff get me upset, and i wont let all the little things get me depressed.
when i was a young boy i got a stereo and i taped all the songs straight off the radio.
the sounds that the bands made, and the melodies is all i need to make me feel free.
sometimes you get so low, you don't know why, or a little upset all inside. May i remind you? that you don't live in poverty, you got your youth, and you got food in your belly.
