from the cold-war era. Housed and on display to the public certain days at old Fort Barry, GGNRA, Marin Headlands, California.
In their underground bunker.
Because the locomotive has windows in its sides, which offer views of the interior, I went to town on some of the interior detail as well. The M62 is powered using a large "Kolomna 14D40" V12 diesel engine that drives a generator. This provides electrical power to motors that drive the wheels.
Red-breasted Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus ruber)
Rithet's Bog, Saanich, BC
The sapsuckers continue to make regular food runs to the nest cavity. There is still no sign of the chicks. This adult had finished its delivery and left like missile launched from a silo.
The High Resolution Coronal Imager (Hi-C) instrument is scheduled to launch on a sounding rocket May 29, 2018 from White Sands Missile Range. This will be the third launch of the Hi-C instrument. The instrument is going to study one of the biggest questions in heliophysics - why the sun's atmosphere or corona is so much hotter than its surface. Seen in this image is the sounding rocket payload going through pre-launch activities at White Sands. The Hi-C experiment is led by NASAs Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, MA, Lockheed Martin Solar & Astrophysics Laboratory in Palo Alto, CA, and University of Central Lancashire in Preston, UK. Launch support is provided by NASA's Sounding Rocket Program 'at the agency's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia, which is managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt, Maryland. NASA's Heliophysics Division manages the sounding-rocket program for the agency.

I tweaked a few things on my Patriot launcher, since taking the original pictures a few weeks ago. I added a 2x2 trans orange dish behind the missile, to hide the fact that the launch cannister isn't actually hollow and I added a bit of Technic flex cable to the top of the antenna.
The large mast next to the missile launchers is used to communicate with other elements of the system. On the real system, a narrower antenna can slide up from the inside of the mast.
As the Second Greco-Roman War dragged on, the resources at the NGRF's disposal continued to dwindle. This was accelerated by the URE's capture of the Macedonian construction yards, effectively cutting the Federation's manufacturing output in half. No longer able to produce Hastati IIs at an acceptable rate, they fell back on bolstering their forces with Decurions.
The Decurion began its development cycle as an early prototype for the Hastati. Based largely off of tech from the Gremlin, the original design was updated with modern armor and features to become the System we see today. Its performance falls short of the URE's Aardwolf III, but it makes up for that in sheer versatility. It specializes in ground combat but the B-type equipment adds a number of propellant tanks and thrusters to allow for limited use in outer space. This equipment has also been used for dropping Decurions into combat zones from the air, a tactic that has proved somewhat effective for surprising URE forces.
The Decurion's standard armament is a 100mm machine gun but it is also capable of wielding the "Pilum" heavy beam bazooka. Optional equipment includes "System Buster" warheads that can be mounted on the waist and missile pods that fit over the shoulders.
Geez that description took a lot out of me. I make most of it up on the fly and have to scour through all my old descriptions to properly reference stuff and make sure I don't contradict anything.
Anyway I wanted to do a build inspired by Dipo Muh's work, especially his Zaku redesigns. I put a lot of effort into the weapons as well, and really like how the flip-out stock on the rifle turned out as well as how all the parts on the bazooka mesh together. The backpack looks pretty heavy but it stands up pretty well. Only weight issues I've had is with holding the bazooka, where the shoulder guard is kinda necessary.
I made this one for a little boy who's having his birthday this weekend!
Have a good one..

Hawk missiles at the ready on Monkey Mountain, DaNang 1968/69. 1st MAW, 1st. LAAM, B Battery (I think it's B). We see the Ham River and DaNang below, with the harbor to the right. The air strip is lost in the haze, but between the river and the distant mountain. The Marble Mountains would be to the left, out of the shot. The missiles probably obscure China Beach. My assignment on Monkey Mountain was brief, maybe a month. I have a sheaf of letters I sent home that my mother squirreled away, and I suppose I could research where I was and when. Today, I have to guess. I did not see daylight too often--I think I served comm watch on the night shift mostly. There was a shared mess hall. With all of the communications gear on top of the mountain, and everyone working odd schedules, the mess hall was open 24 hours.
Landscape. The cloud is launching missile#1, direct hit on the mountain:)
Jet aircraft's trail was merged by the cloud.
今天,九份的山,向老天爺歎了好長的一口氣. 難得的景緻,可遇不可求.
While I have no intention of ever running this on a LEGO train layout, I d want it to be able to navigate curves. And because the bogies themselves are quite long, I had to come up with a way for them to follow a curve as well, which I did by mounting the central axle on each bogie such that it can move side-to-side.
South Dakota, USA
Where else in the world can you go to see where Armageddon could have started?
For those not familiar: During the cold war, the USA had hundreds of underground missile silos in the middle of the northern plains states like the Dakotas, Wyoming, and so on, ready to launch on a few minutes' notice. A couple of these, like this one near Badlands, are now open for the public to walk up to and look inside.
Remarkably, this site and another like it are totally unguarded. Just walk in and look around, call the phone number on the sign for the talking tour if you like.
I'm not sure how many people even know this is there, the place was totally deserted for the entire half hour that we hung around. Détente indeed !!

The missile is transported on a hinged cradle that can be used to put the missile upright on top of its firing table.
Getting everything on the trailer to fold properly was quite a challenge. The actual launchers lie flat during transport. I also had the antenna mast to contend with and I had to build the four struts that support the trailer when it is set up. It's by no means a small vehicle, but space was at a premium.

8 missile launch bays are mounted behind the rails, half oriented up and half down, with armor plating to provide cover for the magazines.
Plokštinės raketų bazė.
From wikipedia:
Plokštinė missile base (Lithuanian: Plokštinės raketų bazė) was an underground base of the Soviet Union. It was built near Plokščiai village, 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north of Plungė, in the sparsely populated Plokštinė forest near Plateliai Lake, Samogitia, Lithuania. This was the first nuclear missile base of the Soviet Union, built to house underground R-12 Dvina ballistic medium-range missiles. In 2012, a Cold War Museum was opened at the site.
Duga-3 / Дуга-3 - Chernobyl - Kyiv Oblast - Ukraine
This gigantic antenna system called Duga-3 is located near Prypiat in the Chernobyl area.
The radar, at almost 150 metres in heigh and 660 metres in length, was built in the late 1970’s as part of the Soviet Union’s “Over-The-Horizon” project. This was a widespread system developed to detect American Nuclear Missiles being launched towards the USSR. Built near the city of Pripyat, the zone around the Radar was entirely off limits and was known as Chernobyl 2 – however it wasn’t to be found on any official maps.
It was also called the Steel Yard hence its distinctive appearance. The antenna was deactivated in 1989, three years after the Chornobyl disaster.
The Russian Woodpecker was a notorious Soviet signal that could be heard on the shortwave radio bands worldwide between July 1976 and December 1989. It sounded like a sharp, repetitive tapping noise, at 10 Hz, giving rise to the "Woodpecker" name. The random frequency disrupted legitimate broadcast, amateur radio, and utility transmissions and resulted in thousands of complaints by many countries worldwide.
Starting in 1976 a new and powerful radio signal was detected worldwide, and quickly dubbed the Woodpecker by amateur radio operators. Transmission power on some woodpecker transmitters was estimated to be as high as 10 MW EIRP. As well as disrupting shortwave amateur radio and broadcasting it could sometimes be heard over telephone circuits due to the strength of the signals. This led to a thriving industry of "Woodpecker filters" and noise blankers.
