The Mining Tanker is built to go into in low underground tunnels to provide refueling needs for mining equipment.
This model was built for both the Lego Space Discord's Febroverary build challenge, as well as the Old Gray Bricks Discord's Color My Bricks contest.
The mine was a challenge to my preconceptions. In Kailo they mine wolframite and casserite. Before the war the mines were operated by a state run company, the defunct infrastructure can be glimpsed under bushes and vines. The company still has a smart office in the centre of the village, but instead of mining they take a percentage of the proceeds of the artisan miners and the traders. Most of the workers are from the area, although I met some from the province of Kasai. Children were working with their parents, helping with panning for the ore, carrying and selling goods to the workers. The mine is made up of widely dispersed open pits. Most pits were 4 to 10 metres deep with the occasional 25 metre pit. Next to the pits were the temporary huts of the workers. There did not appear to be the squalor or disease that we find in gold mines. Although there were ‘maison de tolerance’ as they are politely called here with the associated risks of sexual diseases, AIDS and child prostitution.
As we left the mine we crossed two four wheel drive cars carrying men from a British company interested in investing in the mine.

Four LNG terminals are approved for construction in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, leading to direct criticism from the World Heritage Committee monitoring mission that “the decisions that were taken to proceed with approvals based on offsetting therefore appear to not correspond to an agreed approach within the World Heritage Convention.

A scrap merchant would be in heaven here with all this metal hanging around. Given the high price of scrap there must be thousands of pounds worth lying around on this part of the site alone.

Lebanon mine in Georgetown, Co - a shaft going down behind the fence full of water now - with the light's and the settings on camera I came up with a blue shade.

Long after the effects of Aurum's collision with Arcadia, the inhabitants of the mining facility slowly started to pour out onto the new world. Peace, however, was not in their immediate future.
As such, the Ijad Enclave within Aurum ordered the militarization of all available construction frames. One such frame was a Chub, brought on the asteroid from their previous star system. It was modified initially for aquatic exploration and salvage after the crash, giving it a hydrodynamic aesthetic that breaks away from traditional Chub standards. It was modified a second time with Ijad technology into a fearsome amphibious assault frame. Utilizing a rare crystalline structure that was the main export of Aurum, the frame's durability to withstand undersea pressure as well as combat was increased twofold.
This frame is armed with a flechette rifle and a hammer/spear made of the same diamond-hard crystal. Though small in number, these frames are given to squad commanders who have received top marks in frame piloting.
It seems like ages since I've posted any macro. I've been playing around with some new lenses, but today I felt the need to go out and find some small friends, so on went the MP-E!
I found this small solitary bee wandering around on the patio floor. I think it had a damaged wing as it could only fly small distances before wandering around again. I placed my finger in front of it, and it quickly climbed up so I guess it must have been a bit cold.
It was happy to pose for a few photos, so I gave it some honey-water by way of payment before leaving it in a quiet corner.
