The Netopyr, Tongoria's ultimate land weapon. The first three's production was halted and a the vehicle was redesigned. They will be completed in the bis layour and they will be able to overcome any obstacle they would ever face.
The original tank's front part was simply turned around and the two part joins in the middle, allowing it to turn.
The engines are located in the four wheel hubs. Those radial engines have an amazing combined power output of 1200hp and it needs all that power as the tank, is 112,4 tons, the heaviest tank roaming the lands of Tongoria. With such power the Netopyr can reach 17km/h speeds.
The final version resulted in the tank shown here, the Netopyr. It is armed with a high calibre naval gun in a casemate, four 76.2mm field guns in sponsons, another field gun in a turret on top and in the rear, four machine guns looking forward and another four facing the rear. The triple 25mm AA gun is mounted on the back of the vehicle.
Being on the frontline it was thought that it would come under heavy fire. It needs to be appropriately armored to be a successful vehicle, thus the front of the tank is protected by 100mm thick armor, the sides by 70mm, the sponsons by 55mm and the rear by 40mm. Also the wheels were reinforced significantly to keep the tank moving.

Just finishing up the tryptic, I can't tell which one is my favorite but I think there is a story to be told here. Thanks for all the positive feedback!
I still have more from the roll to show though so there's still some excitement there!

This is my Photo-Heart Connection of June. I had not to think very much because the only photos I have taken along the whole month have been a series of these cherries
The day after I finished checking the paper of my students and once I uploaded their marks, I took my camera. Only a few weeks had passed without taking a single photo, even so, it was like a foreign object in my hand that I didn´t know how to handle. I felt sad and tempted to let it aside, but I had the feeling that this could create a breach, a rupture (...)

Last weekend was a rainy, windy and cold one which of course makes for cool photos especially in a backless dress 😉 I scrambled up the wet rocks trying not to slip and doing my best to not look pained from the cold 😯 my fingers hurt so badly from the cold that I was like I'm never doing that again 😨😲 but who am I kidding I'll always jump at the chance of a good photo opportunity 📷
Help Chile Overcome the Earthquake Chile stepped up efforts to find survivors of an earthquake registering 8.8 magnitude that struck before dawn yesterday, killing more than 700 people, severing the country’s main highway and damaging 1.5 million homes.
The eartquake was centered 200 miles (317 kilometers) southwest of Santiago near the main winemaking region and close to Concepcion, a metropolitan region of more than 500,000 people. Highways and airports were shut by damage and some copper mines closed. The total economic damage may be as much as $30 billion, or about 15 percent of the South American country’s gross domestic product, according to estimates by disaster- scenario modeler Eqecat Inc.
We need your help to overcome the earthquake.

SUMATE A LA CAMPAÑA SOLIDARIA CHILE AYUDA A CHILE¡¡¡¡¡¡
Are you a cat owner who wouldn't fathom living without your feline friend, but have become frustrated with its recent "spraying" issues?
Are you at your wits end trying to figure out how to find a solution? Look
no further.
Cat Spraying No More is a system that has all you need to understand why your cat is doing what it's doing, and how to bring about a peaceful solution that will not only fix the problem, but will serve to bring you closer to your cat.
Spraying, or peeing, around the house is a big no-no, for obvious reasons; and sometimes, cats that regularly use their litter box turn to other areas of the house to urinate or spray. As a result, owners tend to focus on the issue of the mis-targeted urination, rather than on why the behavior is occurring - the key element to Cat Spraying No More.
The Cat Spraying No More System carefully outlines various scenarios of unwanted spraying and targets possible causes in an easy to understand and well-laid out format. The system eases the reader into the topic and playfully chides with owners about the author's own unfortunate experiences, how the author was able to overcome them, and how you can, too.
The author's encouraging voice helps cat owners understand their cats better. There are underlying reasons for why cats do what they do, and when things are not quite right, they react. This system helps cat owners understand their cats better by discussing reasons why cats urinate outside their litter box.
It then outlines a system for owners to follow, based on their specific situation, so results are targeted and more effective. Depending on each scenario, there are detailed step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow. The author guides cat owners with reassurance and support.
Some of the major plus points behind Cat Spraying No More are:
Saving money and time. No more carpet cleaning, upholstery shampooing and time wasted finding these incidents and attending to them.
Tricks you can use to get your cat to "like" its litter box again. This system helps you direct your cat back to using the litter box, on its own, without force.
A home free of stress and smell. Once you see how easy it is to get your cat back on track with this system, your home will be cleaner, you’ll be less stressed, and everyone will be happier. Trust me.
Helpful hints to effectively clean up the misfires. The system provides detailed instructions on clever concoctions that will effectively and permanently clean accident areas so you never know they existed.
Four bonus guides to boost your knowledge of caring for your cat:

101 Recipes for a Healthy Cat

An affordable and easy system to follow. Nothing in this system is overly expensive or difficult to execute. It also comes with a 60-day money back guarantee.
On the negative side, the following are points to consider before purchasing this system:
This system is not a perfect solution for 100% of cases (of bad cat behaviors). While the system is effective in 95% of the cases, there are instances in which the system does not work.
Results may differ. As long as the system is used as instructed results are generally achieved very fast, however if the system is not followed properly, little to no results are experienced.
In Conclusion
There really is no risk in trying out this product. With a no questions asked money-back guarantee, if things don't work out as you expected you get what you paid back.
Without risking anything, you will give yourself and your cat a chance to fix what's wrong and grow a little closer in the process. It's a deal worth every penny.

Overcoming fear is probably one of the most challenging things that a human being ever does in his/her lifetime. Do not be afraid of what lies ahead. You will be hindered; you will be battered and bruised, but do not lose hope. It takes only one shot to grab that chance at success and you don't know what it'll strike.
