1986 Volkswagen Scirocco GTX.
Tax expired on 1st January 2022 and last MoT test expired today (15th July 2022).
The more modern version of the Hecate II with synthetic furniture. Firing the kinetic penetrator round, or APFSDS(armor piercing fin stabalized discarding sabot) because i figured a plain ol' .50 is to boring.
FM Me for the pastie
Edit: Nevermind, lost the pastie :(

A PGM-17 Thor missile (left), is displayed alongside a Blue Streak rocket stage at the National Space Centre in Leicester, UK.
The Blue Streak was a British-developed intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) project during the Cold War, while the PGM-17 Thor was an American IRBM. Both missiles were developed around the same time in response to Cold War tensions, with the goal of delivering nuclear warheads over intermediate ranges into the Soviet Union.
Due to development problems and delays with the indigenous Blue Streak program, the UK agreed to a US proposal to deploy American Thor missiles on British soil as an interim nuclear deterrent, in a program known as "Project Emily". There was a degree of technology transfer; Rolls-Royce obtained the design for the Rocketdyne S-3D engine, which powered the Thor and other US rockets, and developed an "anglicized" version called the RZ.2 to power the Blue Streak. The Blue Streak was ultimately cancelled as a military project in 1960, partly due to escalating costs and its vulnerability to a pre-emptive strike, especially when compared to the quicker-to-launch US systems like the Thor or the later Polaris submarine-launched missiles.
After its cancellation as a military weapon, the Blue Streak found a second life as the highly reliable first stage of the European Launcher Development Organisation's (ELDO) Europa satellite launch vehicle.
The National Space Centre is a museum and educational facility that houses various space-related exhibits, including this PGM-17 Thor Able rocket and a Blue Streak rocket, within its iconic 42-meter-high Rocket Tower. The Thor was originally an American intermediate-range ballistic missile deployed in the UK by the RAF during the Cold War from 1959 to 1963. The Centre offers six main galleries, the UK's largest planetarium, and various interactive experiences for visitors.

As a future Marine, I decided to upload something Marine related. So I decided to create a battle-worn/beaten up M16A4, which is currently being used by the USMC in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This is only like my 3rd pmg creation, so feel free and leave tips on what I should touch up or work on.
Vista de les trinxeres i el paisatge desolador del front de Chemin des Dammes, a França. Es tracta del que els alemanys anomenaven Winterberg,i els francesos, La Californie.
Crec que la foto data de just després del armistici del 11 de novembre de 1918.

=====================
View of the trenches and the desolate landscape of the Chemin des Dammes front in France. This is what the Germans called Winterberg,and the French, La Californie.
I think the photo dates back to just after november 11, 1918.

Upload errors abound, but they were a pain, so I fixed what I could.
Here is a recreation of the PGM UR Hecate II. Or the Anti- Materiel Rifle from Fallout New Vegas. Didn't put the Bi-pod. I know the upper part of the receiver is not in proportion, this is my first recreation.
If anybody wants to fix it up, here's the code.
Crash Landing is an ongoing show at Berlin Nightclub in Chicago hosted by three of our city's most popular queens, Trannika Rex, Nico, and Lucy Stoole. I've been a spectator in the Chicago drag scene for so long that I finally decided to take the step and performed in Crash Landing cycle 10 under the name Francis Slay, excited to get four minutes on the stage where I've seen so many performers who are legendary to me. The other performers gave me nothing but love and I'm happy with my look, dimented clown punk mime Baby Jane Jonbenet Madonna schoolgirl.

The Jupiter was the first mobile strategic ballistic missile to use the ablative (melting or vaporizing) heat shield on the nosecone section. It was a single-stage, liquid-fueled missile using an inertial guidance system. Some modified versions of the Jupiter were used as first-stage boosters for early U.S. space satellite launches. The Jupiter was deployed in Turkey and Italy from 1961-1963.

Here be it, the PGM Hecate II
Credit to Derrick L. for most of the gun... i just decided to make it look a little more like the actuall one. the hinge on the barrel is not on the real gun. i thought it would be useful for carrying it around.

The Redstone missile program, begun in 1951 by the U.S. Army, was designed to be mobile, capable of being launched by combat troops under battlefield conditions.

The Jupiter Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM), in service from 1960 to 1963, was an important link between early, short-range rockets and later weapons that could reach any point on Earth. Jupiter was a close relative of the Army's Redstone missile, and its development began in 1956 as a joint US Army and US Navy project. Rocket pioneer Wernher von Braun conceived the Jupiter after the Redstone proved successful, and rockets with a range of up to 1,500 miles seemed possible. Soviet development of similar missiles around the same time underscored the need for Jupiter. President Dwight Eisenhower gave the IRBM high priority in weapons development, second only to the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM).
Originally designed for shipboard use, Jupiter was a compromise between Army and Navy designs. In 1956, the Department of Defense gave the USAF responsibility for building and operating all missiles with more than a 200-mile range, but the Army continued developing Jupiter in case the Air Force's Thor IRBM program failed. The first successful Jupiter launch took place in May 1957.
In October 1957, the USSR launched Sputnik, the first satellite-an event that caused the US to greatly speed up missile development to counter the Soviet threat. As Jupiter was quickly made ready, the US explored basing options. The single-stage missile's range of 1,500 miles required bases on the periphery of the USSR. Negotiations with France proved unsuccessful, and finally Italy and Turkey accepted IRBM bases. Italian and Turkish crews trained to operate the missiles, but Americans controlled the nuclear warheads. Two squadrons with a total of 30 missiles were operational at Gioia del Colle, Italy, by 1961; a single squadron of 15 Jupiters became operational at Cigli Air Base, Turkey, in 1962. Due in part to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, the US removed its Jupiter missiles from Italy and Turkey by July 1963.
Jupiter No. 22 is launched on a test flight in Florida, February 27, 1959. The particles flying off the missile's midsection are ice from condensation caused by the missile's super-chilled liquid oxygen propellant. Jupiter ground support equipment was complex, involving vehicles carrying liquid oxygen, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, generators, and other tools
