First red TIE Interceptor, now yellow TIE Fighter!
I am usually not too fond of "yet another TIE variant" but how could I resist a yellow one? Such a beautiful color to go with black and grey! This just screams "utalitarian design" and so fits the mining guild theme perfectly!
It is a relatively simple build, but it already contains some fixes I intend for the v2.0 TF, most notably better shape of the solar panel. Change is minimal but noticeable enough! And I am very slightly... quite proud of the stripe solution ^^
I was wondering what this would look like before a military company modified it for battle. So I made this. More pictures on Brickshelf (when public).
Alien or just weird mining ship ideas. The top ship grabs asteroids from above and processes them downwards. The bottom ship operates in the reverse direction.
Defunct copper mine at Burra, South Australia. Copper was discovered at Burra by shepherds in 1845 and by the end of the decade it had its own mine, smelters and a population of 5000 people. Burra mine was world famous for the richness of its copper ores and for the first ten years of its life was the largest mine in Australia. Wealth from the mine made fortunes for many of its original shareholders and its discovery marked the beginning of a period of unprecedented growth and prosperity for South Australia. At first, all mining took place under-ground. Open cut operation began in 1870 in an attempt to extract lower grade ore profitably, however low copper prices forced the mine closure in 1877.
The mine remained abandoned for nearly a century until open cut mining started again in 1971 and continued until exhaustion of ore in 1981. It is now a major tourist attraction in the area.
The Blue Bird mining area, in the background is the bunk house and the foreground was used for the vistiors.
A male Andrena mining-bee in our Staffordshire garden today. There were several active. This individual was resting on a bluebell flower.
By the size, colouration and long mandibles (with lateral tooth), I suspect that this is the Tawny Mining-bee (Andrena fulva). Lovely to see them at last!
Area of a Bakerville is Colorado's first Silver discovery in Steven's Gulch. John Baker established mining clams in 1865 as Silver boom through the 1870"s the RxR extended from Denver to Georgetown past Silver Plume to Graymount. Bakerville at 9787 ft with the Broken Handle mine at 11,201 which was part of the Steven's mine at 11.699 ft. which encompassed over 2700 acres prior to 1900.

Tawny Mining Bee (female) [Andrena fulva]

Only in this region of the country can you see seemingly gratuitous blocks of flats in the middle of a village: MĆŗcsony and SzuhakĆ”llĆ³ used to be home of many miners and their families.
After the fall of communism, most of the coal mines in the vicinity were shut down, leaving most people in the area without jobs and livelihood. Only the blocks of flats and the forever-rolling Ikaruses remain to remind us of the once glorious past.
GXD-417 is pacing through the village on it's remarkable Miskolc-RagƔly journey. It was manufactured in 98' for Russian export, but as with many 263s from this batch, it never saw service with the Soviets due to the big ruble crisis.

One of the buildings on the Paramount Ranch set. It was used as Grace and Robert E's home on Dr. Quinn, Medecine Woman.

Looking like a working shot but actually posing for pics for all the camera guys, the MKV Aec looked fantastic -but the look of the Reiver like this does it for me...
Big Pit Blaenavon. Former South Wales Coal Field works 1860 - 1980
Now a Heritage Museum where visitors can descend in the Miners Cage to coal faces
Enjoyed our visit back in 2010
This is a female Tawny Mining Bee (Andrena fulva); a beautiful bee I think. I saw some a few days ago but couldn't manage to photograph them.
For these white background shots, I capture the bee in a pot, put it in the shade for a while and then transfer with a water-colour brush onto a white card. I find that you then have around 30 seconds before the bee is ready to fly off. I then transfer them back to the garden.
Dwarfing the cities they serve, these ancient monstrosities are a feature of the dark and desolate Draggone homeworld.

Sego Ghost Town.
Henry Ballard, one of the founders of Thompson Springs, discovered an exposed vein of anthracite coal in Sego canyon in 1908 while exploring the many canyons of the Book Cliffs. He quietly bought the land and began to hire local laborers to mine the coal. The coal camp was naturally called Ballard. In 1911 the town was renamed Nelsen after the company general manager. In 1918 the town was again renamed Sego after the Sego Lilly so common in Utah.

GHH mining machine underground shovel, when they were introduced in the Monteponi mine, helped to make the work lighter and faster. He wouldn't mind seeing it displayed in a protected area and not exposed to the elements. A machine created to work indoors that ends its "career" outdoors. The most interesting part are the reinforcements made by hand welding along the entire profile of the blade of the shovel. Although not a certainly functional artistic work; this is proof of the mastery and skills that the staff had acquired in working in a mine like this.
Pala da sottosuolo GHH mining machine, quando vennero introdotte nella miniera di Monteponi aiutarono a rendere il lavoro piĆ¹ leggero e veloce. Non sabbe male vederla esposta in una zona protetta e non esposta alle intemperie. Una macchina che nasce per lavorare al chiuso che finisce al sua "carriera" all'aria aperta. La parte piĆ¹ interessante sono i rinforzi realizzati con saldatura a mano lungo tutto il profilo della lama della pala. Seppure non un lavoro artistico sicuramente funzionale; questo a riprova della maestria e delle competenze che il personale aveva acquisito nel lavorare in una miniera come questa.
I built this MOC for Andromeda's Gates on Eurobricks. It shows a MANTIS mining base in full swing, there's even some little loader trucks carrying loads of Awesomnium. The building has a full interior as well.
It wasn't easy to build, but I really like how the robot turned out.
I hope you like it!
(I'm one of the mice, the biggest one actually XD the other mice will post occassionally also. :D).
