The Gloster Gladiator Mk I was a British biplane fighter introduced in the mid-1930s, serving as the Royal Air Force’s last biplane fighter before transitioning to monoplanes. Powered by a Bristol Mercury radial engine, it had a top speed of around 257 mph. Despite being quickly outclassed by newer aircraft, the Gladiator played a vital role in the early stages of World War II and gained fame in battles like the defense of Malta.
I built these models for fun after I had the idea to design combat suits around trophy figs— yes, there are trophy figs inside of these! Meet (from left to right) Bugbite, Whipslash, and Pinhead. Which one would you pick as your fighter in the ColiZeum?
Gladiator processed with the Topaz suite for a totally different look. Just playing around.

Here, and about time, is the whole of my MOC for the MOCOlympics final round. Here more of the statuettes can be seen as well as the Caesar and a couple other details. Still way behind in uploading things, but for this MOC I only have one photo left, though it's my favorite of the lot. Hope you like it!
I find it tragic that the Gladiator name would eventually be replaced with "Jeep Pickup".
My dad has a fun story about driving one of these on a corrugated dirt road while in the army; the air-filter got shaken loose and around far enough that the breather tube hooked the throttle open on full. At a moment where he "really didn't want the throttle open on full."
This is my 30th offroader in this series. I might take a break from offroaders to do a few other things. Or I might not. I still have some left on my list to do. We'll see.
My first flickr uploads were of the opening scene from gladiator and I always wanted to do a purist version of Maximus in classic gladiator armour but the right pieces never existed - until set 853687 came out which provided the bulk of the body :)
I just couldn't get the iconic helmet quite right but the ultra sentry helmet was close enough...
Here is the scene, enjoy!
This architecture does not need an introduction. Infact if you see a Roman postage stamp or a coin or even a postcard, its this Colosseum that is featured everywhere!!
Reputed to be the largest ampitheatre in the world, it was the largest amphitheatre of the Roman Empire, and is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering.
The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, and was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.
In 2007 the complex was included among the New7Wonders of the World, following a competition organized by New Open World Corporation (NOWC).
Here's another "oh wow" moment from my trip to Tuscany.
I was zoomed in with my long lens to capture a pano of the road and villa that featured in the movie "Gladiator"... when all of a sudden my friend Jan announced... "hey guys, this looks amazing through a wide-angle lens"! I was so concentrated on the task at hand... that I wasn't even aware of these streaky clouds forming above me. Thanks Jan... if it wasn't for you... I might never have noticed this!!

A rather unusual Dark Hunter, while one might first think Gladiator is a raw brute along the same line as Devestator, this could not be further from the truth.
Quick, strong, and agile, Gladiator can easily dance circles around most foes, dodging attacks and landing brutal punches on their unguarded back. He takes advantage of his appearance, advancing slowly and ungracefully, allowing him to catch opponents completely off guard with his speed once close.
As his reputation has grown, the bait and switch tactic has grown less effective, but he still has the skill to more than make up for it.

The Gloster Gladiator was a British biplane fighter aircraft developed by the Gloster Aircraft Company in the 1930s. It was the last biplane fighter used by the Royal Air Force and saw combat during the early days of World War II. Despite being outdated compared to newer monoplane aircraft, the Gloster Gladiator achieved success against enemy aircraft in various air battles.
The Jeep Gladiator J-Series pickup truck was based upon their Wagoneer model.
This style of grille that spans the width of the front end and resembles an electric shaver head indicates a year model likely from the early 1970s.
Happy Truck Thursday!

Gladiators training in the roman amphitheatre
The Roman Theatre of Mérida is a construction promoted by the consul Vipsanius Agrippa in the Roman city of Emerita Augusta, capital of Lusitania (current Mérida, Spain). It was constructed in the years 16 to 15 BCE.
The theater has undergone several renovations, notably at the end of the 1st century or early 2nd century CE (possibly during the reign of Emperor Trajan), when the current facade of the scaenae frons was erected, and another in the time of Constantine I (between 330 and 340) which introduced new decorative-architectural elements and a walkway around the monument. Following the theatre's abandonment in Late Antiquity, it was slowly covered with earth, with only the upper tiers of seats (summa cavea) remaining visible. In local folklore the site was referred to as "The Seven Chairs", where, according to tradition, several Moorish kings sat to decide the fate of the city.
