SORRY everyone, the pace of our travels have been making it hard to get time to process and upload images to flickr --- they are going to have to wait until we are home in a couple of weeks.
BUT meanwhile ---- here is a picture from the final point of our pilgrimage to Belgium following my grandfather's steps in 1916/17. This is taken from the furthest point achieved in the attack on Paschaendale Ridge by the Battalion in which he served. [39th Battalion, 10th [Victorian] Brigade, Third Division AIF.
If you look closely, the spires of the [reconstructed] Cloth Hall and Cathedral in Ieper/Ypres are visible in the middle-left — silhouetted above the trees. Ieper is 8 Kilometres from where I took the picture. So, it took the Australians, together with British, NZ and Canadian troops, more than three months to cross that space and attack this ridge from which German artillery was pounding Paschaendale to a pulp of totally destroyed moonscape. The spires have only just been reconstructed.
The Australians never made it into Paschaendale village or its remains. They were thrown back with massive casualties from this spot where the cemetery now stands, and eventually the Canadians captured the site.
During those months of fighting it rained almost continuously. Artillery of both sides had fired over 6 million shells, which destroyed the ancient drainage systems built over centuries by Flemish farmers to drain the low-lying land, turning the farmland into a massive swamp. The water table is less than 50cm below the ground, so all trenches, shell craters etc were full of water, polluted by human & animal remains; and crawling with rats. Thick mud restricted movement to a crawling pace. Men who fell off the wooden walkways into shell-holes often drowned under the weight of their kit which was in excess of 35Kg.
There are conflicting figures as to the losses suffered by the respective armies but it seems that somewhere in excess of 500,000 men in total were killed or wounded during the 3 months campaign. Tens of thousands of these have never been found in the mud and chaos. Every year bodies emerge from the ground. Many of the burials we saw are unidentified: some have nationalities deduced from uniform or equipment relics found with their bodies, but many. many, many others are totally unidentified. The Tyne Cot cemetery where the picture is taken contains about 12,000 graves of which only about a third have names.
Just as you can order just about anything from at Amazon.com today, one could get just about anything from Sears back in the day. Sears did one better, in that you could not only get the kitchen sink, you could get the house to put it in.
This is an old Sears (or maybe Montgomery Ward) kit house near Estancia, NM
Here's, more or less, my current kit.
Two Pelican 1560 cases hold my lights, one for Elinchrom Quadra units & accessories, another for several speedlights, some nano stands, Justin Clamps, gels, grids, pocket wizards, ttl Cables...
Camera case is a 1510 (absent: 5DMKII & 24mm f/3.5 L II Tilt Shift used to take the photo)
I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

Some background:
After the space-worthy conversion of the CVS-101 Prometheus and the SLV-111 Daedalus carriers, these ships were docked with the SDF-1 Macross and it became clear that this new gigantic vessel required a specialized unit with a heavy armament for medium range defense.
The resulting Space Defense Robot (SDR) Phalanx was tailored to this task. Development of the Phalanx began in a hurry, during the already ongoing Space War I in July 2009. Its systems and structural elements were, to save time and minimize development risks, taken over from a pre-war Destroid standard mass production model. The "Type 04" biped chassis from 2001 was common to several Destroid types, including the Tomahawk medium battle robot and the Defender anti-aircraft robot. The main frame from the waist down included a common module which consolidated the thermonuclear reactor and ambulatory OverTechnology system, and for the Phalanx it was combined with a new, jettisonable torso that was suited to space operations and could also act as a rescue capsule with modest independent propulsion. Thanks to this dedicated mission profile, the Phalanx was the best adapted Destroid to space operations, with the best zero-G maneuverability of any Destroid type during Space War I.
With this proven basis, the Phalanx quickly reached rollout in December of that year. Armed with dozens of missiles in two large launcher pods, the Phalanx made an excellent semi-mobile missile-based battery. On board of spaceships, the Phalanx also performed as a substitution deployment for the much more complex ADR-04-Mk X Destroid Defender, and it complemented this type with its longer-range guided missile weaponry. Minor Phalanx variants featured additional light close-range armament, such as a head-mounted gatling gun that replaced the original search light array, or more sophisticated sensor arrays. The latter led to the dedicated Mk. XIII version for space operations.
During the final battle of Space War I against the Zentraedi Bodol Zer Main Fleet, the Phalanx units, originally delivered in a sand-colored livery, were repainted in dark blue and refitted to fire long-range reaction warheads for use against space warships. The Phalanx’ on board of SDF-1 had their finest hour when the SDF-1 Macross broke through the Zentraedi fleet defenses and entered the interior of the massive Fulbtzs Berrentzs command vessel: all the Phalanx units unleashed their missiles and aided in the swift destruction of the enemy flagship.
However, Phalanx production only reached limited numbers, due to the type’s high grade of specialization and its inherent vulnerability in close combat - the Phalanx’ combat operation capability decreases substantially once the missile ordnance had been exhausted. Beyond the initial production on Earth, roughly 20 more Phalanx Destroids were also built aboard the SDF-1 Macross shipboard factories, and many of these were later updated from the Mk. XII to the Mk. XIII standard. Post-Space War I, Phalanx Destroids were deployed as part of defense forces on various military bases and used in the ground attack role as long-range infantry support artillery units, fighting from the second line of battle. Nevertheless, the Phalanx remained a stopgap solution and was quickly followed by the more versatile Destroid "Nimrod" SDR-04-Mk. XIV.

Production Notes:
The rather obscure Destroid Phalanx made its media debut in Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Episode 27, and it's actually the only occasion where it appears. Original mecha designer is/was Miyatake Kazutaka.
The kit and its assembly:
I have been pushing this build away from the workbench for a long time. I was – after building two conversions - missing a canonical Destroid Phalanx in my Macross mecha collection, and since I had one stashed away (you never know…) I tackled this project now. The kit is Bandai’s re-issue of Imai’s 1982 1:100 kit, a vintage “Matryoshka” construction (= build one element from two halves, place it between two more halves, etc.) which does not make the assembly process easy.
The kit was basically built OOB, but “under the hood” it received some mechanical mods and improvements. These primarily include scratched joints for the arms/launcher pods and the hip. The pods remained detachable through an internal styrene tube construction. An important improvement for the “04 chassis” is a completely now hip joint arrangement because the Phalanx’ OOB posture is pretty stiff, with the legs and feet facing straight forward. The mecha model is just supposed to just stand upright and with the model’s OOB joint options it is really hard to create a vivid poise at all, so that a 3rd dimension improves the posing options a lot. Furthermore, the bolts that hold the legs are prone to break off, even more so because the kit is from the 1st generation of mecha kits without vinyl caps and just a very tight joint fit to hold the appendages in place. My solution was the implantation of a new hip “bone”, made from plastic-coated steel wire, which is stiff in itself but can be bent in two dimensions. The thighs had to be modified accordingly, since the wire is much thinner than the original bolts, and it needs a rigid attachment point. Resulting gaps around the hip joints were filled with bits of paper tissue drenched in white glue.
Other visual improvements include launch tubes inside of the missile pods. These were made from thin plastic drinking straw material, they fill the (rather ugly and well-visible) blank space between the warheads. Additionally, the hollow “heels” were filled on their insides with putty.
While the kit itself is a pretty simple affair, fit is mediocre, and you have to expect PSR almost everywhere. A direly weak spot area is the shank’s rear: there’s a recession with a seam running right through, and there are side walls missing in the section, too. I tried to mend this through putty and decals.
Painting and markings:
Since I wanted to stick to the authentic OOB livery, I gave the model an overall basic color, a greenish-grey, dull beige (RAL 1019) from the rattle can. The canonical Phalanx also features some dark contrast highlights all over the hull, and these were created with RAL 7013 (Revell 46), an olive drab tone that looks, in contrast to the light beige, almost like a dull brown on the model. The box art suggests a very dark grey, but I found that this would not work too well with the overall light beige tone.
Strangely, the characteristic white trim on the lower legs that many Destroids carry was in this boxing provided with the decal sheet – other Destroid kits require them to be painted manually!
Otherwise there's hardly any other color on the Phalanx’ hull. The missile pod exhausts as well as the launcher interior were painted with steel metallizer (Humbrol 27003) and treated with graphite for a shiny finish, the inside of the launcher covers and the missile tips became bright red (Revell 332). The bellows in the knees became anthracite (Revell 06), later dry-brushed with a reddish brown.
Quite a challenge were the three search lights in the “head unit”, because they consist of massive molded opaque styrene. I simulated glass and depth through a bright silver base, with vertical stripes in thinned white and medium grey and a coat with white translucent paint on top of that. Finally, extra artificial light reflexes were added with opaque white paint and, finally, everything was sealed with glossy varnish, which also adds some visual depth.
The model was thoroughly weathered with a black-and-brown watercolor washing and a generous dry-brushing treatment with Hemp 168 (RAF Hemp). The decals came next, taken from the OOB sheet, the Bugs Bunny artwork on the lower right leg is a typical individual detail of many Destroids, taken from a WWII USAAF P-47D.
After some additional weathering with watercolors and some graphite rubbing around the many edges for a worn and beaten look, the model received an overall coat with acrylic matt varnish. After final assembly of the model’s elements, soot stains were added around the missile launchers’ openings as well as to the small thrusters, again with grinded graphite, and some mineral pigments were dusted onto the model with a soft, big brush, esp. around the lower areas.
A build that took some time because of the mediocre fit of the kit and the mechanical mods it IMHO requires. But I am quite happy with the outcome, “just a Destroid” in its gritty heavy ordnance look, and the dull beige suits the Phalanx well.

kit de bebê contendo um babador, uma fraldinha e um porta bolsinha de água quente, com carneirinhos bordados em ponto cruz.
"Have a break... have a Kit Kat"("Tómate un respiro, Tómate un Kit Kat").
A falta de un Kit Kat, tampoco es mala idea una cerveza, por lo menos eso fue lo que pensaron estas tres personas que se encontraban vendiendo genero en la Plaza de San Martin en Leon .
Es difícil encontrarse a las personas que ejercitan este tipo de trabajo,( llamémoslo irregular ), con tal aparente relajación, no es habitual, o por lo menos yo no lo he visto así, normalmente suelen mostrarse nerviosos e inquietos, evidentemente los motivos todos conocemos.
Gracias por visitar esta fotografía.
Un saludo.
