When I saw that helmet was available in dark tan, I grabbed one off Bricklink as fast as I could just for my old Yeren Power Armor. Then I did some alterations to the armor itself, including reworking the arms and changing the colors to a camo pattern that matches the Titan Mech I built in the same theme.
Damn, I should put an underhull on this ship, but I should also finish this final project...
She's basically a fat Akizuki with missiles. Built in DC8 but never finished until recently.
Patriot is an American air-defence/ anti-ballistic missile system that was developed in the eighties. It is used by the US Army and was also exported to US Allies, including the Netherlands. My model represents a Transporter-Erector-Launcher unit, as used by the Dutch military.
Some US Army infantry dismounted from their Matvee while on patrol in support of NATO's Stabilization Force in Eastern Europe (SFOR). Much of the American contingent of this peacekeeping mission is a armored brigade intended to deter aggressive action by the revanchist Yugoslav People's Army, so separate infantry brigades are often rotated into theater to better provide a lighter-weight way to interface with the local population. Still, the heavily mechanized and modernized Yugoslavs and their proxy Black Hand organization remain a significant threat in the Balkans, forcing the American military to consider heavier armaments for their soldiers' utility vehicles. Options such as the Reconfigurable Integrated Weapons Platform are an outstanding choice for this job, and provide units quite a bit of flexibility on what kind of weaponry they bring to the field. The M-ATV pictured above is equipped with a 30mm chain gun and 7.62mm coaxial machine gun, alongside a pair of FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank guided missiles, and a counter-drone jamming system.
The V2, for Vergeltungswaffe 2, also known as the A-4 was the world's first ballistic missile. Used by Nazi Germany in the last years of WW2 against targets in the UK and later in Belgium and The Netherlands, V-2s killed more than 8000 people, mostly civilians. At the time there was no defence against a weapon like this.
One of the things I do for a living is calculate missile trajectories. This is the granddaddy of them all and I've been thinking about building one of these ever since I saw a real one at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington last year, but never got around to building it.
the model is built to a scale of approximately 1/43, which makes it suitable for use with minifigs. If I have some time in the near future, I intend to build a Meillerwagen -the trailer that the missile could be transported on and that was used to erect the missile before launch- and its tractor and perhaps a service gantry.
I've been working on this model since March, so the construction took about six months. It's built to a 1:40 scale. The length is approximately 56 cm, and the wingspan is about 36 cm. The MiG is armed with 4 air-to-air missiles R-40 (AA-6 Acrid). The aircraft has retractable landing gear, and I'll be sharing photos of that soon.
I borrowed the technique for making the nose from Awesome O'Saurus, and the engine nozzles are a Dmaclego's patent. I recommend checking out their galleries on Flickr.
In US Army service, launch trailers are typically pulled using a version of the HEMTT truck. The Dutch military uses a DAF tractor unit instead.
Dec. 2, 2023: Sunset at Point Mugu Missile Park. The park is in good condition and worth a visit. An EA-6B Prowler aircraft has been added to the F-14 Tomcat and F-4 Phantom II on display at the park.

Since early this year I have been building models for a Cold War collaboration at BrickFair Virginia, which will take place in late July/ early August. I've mainly focussed on missile systems. This is likely the final model I'll be building for this project. It's a Soviet-built 4K51 "Rubezh" coastal defence system that served with the East-German Navy from the late seventies until German reunification. This is a mobile system (on a MAZ-543 chassis) that can launch two SSC-3 Styx anti-ship missiles, using a mast-mounted radar on the vehicle to find the targets.
Much of the vehicle is done, including the radar mast. What is left is completing the containers on the back that house the missiles and the mechanism for elevating and rotating them.

Photographed during a Ferrari meet a while back in Melbourne. Wish I had new stuff to post, but for the time being, I'm just going through cool stuff that I didn't post :) I wish the weather was nicer so I could go out and photograph.
School holidays are coming up soon, so when I'm not studying I'll try to do some photo shoots I've arranged.
Thanks for stopping by everyone.

April 12, 2014: Deactivated Titan II missile sits in a silo at the Titan Missile Museum south of Tuscon. The former U.S. Air Force Missile Site 8 served as a Titan II base from 1963 to the mid-1980s. Located near Interstate 19, the site became a museum. Per a USSR/USA agreement, the doors to the silo can only open halfway. Russian spy satellites can take photos through the permanent plexiglass roof to confirm the rocket is a dummy. #titanmissilemuseum #arizona

During the Cold War the Soviet Union exported R-17 ballistic missiles (better known as the SS-1 Scud-B) all over the world. They are typically carried on large 8-wheeled MAZ-543 Transporter-Erector-Launcher (TEL). This model represents an Iranian version with a North-Korean development of the Scud, known locally as the Shahab-2.
With the roof and the doors closed, there is little to reveal that the rear car houses missile launchers. Hiding launchers means that any adversary that wants to destroy them on the ground has to play a shell game. Keeping track of which car is just a freight car and which houses rockets becomes extremely difficult.
The Hack Green Secret Nuclear Bunker is a former government-owned nuclear bunker in Nantwich, Cheshire.
Hack Green's involvement in modern warfare defense began in 1941, when the area was a decoy for World War II raids on the large railway junction about ten miles away at Crewe.
From 1941 to 1949 it was a World War II radar station. In the 1950s it became part of a secret radar network codenamed Rotor, closing in 1958. It then became an Air Traffic Radar Unit.
RAF Hack Green closed in 1966 but the site was retained by the government. After a decade in mothballs, it was turned into a blast-proof nuclear bunker capable of housing a 135-man post-nuclear attack regional government team for 12 weeks. The site became fully operational in 1984, before being decommissioned and declassified in 1993.
Inspiration for some of the framing of the shots came from the 1975 New Topographics exhibition.
A Sandwich Tern diving to catch a fish. This time I almost got the water dive. I missed it for a split second and only got the water splash :) Gotta keep trying Cheers everyone.

For my video; youtu.be/HrXVggJ4OV4,
Varyag, the flagship of the Russian pacific Fleet, is a Slava class missile cruiser designed as a surface strike ship with some anti-air and ASW capability. The sixteen SS-N-12 Sandbox nuclear-capable supersonic anti-ship missiles are mounted in four pairs on either side of the superstructure, giving the ship a distinctive appearance.
NATO experts have dubbed Russian combat ships of this class "the killer of aircraft carriers," as they can launch 1,000 kg of high-explosives or a tactical nuclear warhead to a range of 300 miles.
