Last week I posted a pic of the classic 1986 Vipers, here we see one 10 years after World War III devastated the Earth.
In my post apocalypse setting the story is that Cobra Commander and a legion of Cobra troops were safely aboard Cobra Space Station when the bombs fell. But the Commander decided to conveniently forget about Major Bludd and his battalion stranded on the surface.
So this custom represents one of Bludd's faction, now raiders with degrading equipment and far fewer numbers than they started with. They pillage and terrorize, and even trade shots with "original" Cobras that come down from orbit occasionally.
I had previously put together about half a dozen customs for this concept in 2016, but decided to revisit and improve the ranks with figures that were part Cobra and part Mad Max.
I LOVE Post its!!
So colorful
I collect post-its, since it's expensive here.. I ask my cousins to buy for me then send it.
A few improvised night shots (sans tripod on way home, balancing camera on posts and railings to steady it) of the Union Canal, in an around its terminus at Lochrin Basin in Fountainbridge as dusk fell on a December evening, old elements like the historic canal itself, the old lift bridge, then the modern buildings alongside it after its regeneration.
Day six of the post-flight tour with a visit to Thales Alenia Space to open their new Clean Room.
In the afternoon an event with 400 school children at the W5.
Lastly a show at Ulster Hall with Tim Kopra.

We all take photos of the iconic weathered post @ Thornham harbour. Different angle using some camera zoom to get the end few

THE KINGDOM OF MUSHROOMS
More than 30 years have passed since the Chernobyl disaster, since then the radioactive magma that was generated following the explosion of the fourth reactor was buried under a vault of steel and cement. Over the years the various and systematic inspections of the protective sarcophagus have revealed a black mushroom rich in melanin which, despite a very inhospitable and prohibitive environment, grew more and more flourishing on the walls of the protective structure. A team of researchers from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York has studied the phenomenon and found that strong ionizing radiations, more or less deadly for most living beings, are a major vital resource for fungi, in fact, researchers have shown that mycetes, thanks to a mechanism similar to that of chlorophylline photosynthesis, can absorb the radiations to develop and thrive.
I believe that in any post-nuclear scenario the mushrooms can not be missing and so as they have colonized the walls of the sarcophagus of the Chernobyl reactor are definitely destined to colonize the world. It seems unbelievable that this simple spongy and brainless organism, in the case of a nuclear catastrophe, is sure to survive the human species.
In Italy the boletus edulis also known as porcino is one of the most loved and sought after spontaneous mushrooms, and is considered the king of mushrooms and woods, it is a sin that it is greedy with ionizing radiation, especially cesium 137.

I have arrived in San Fransisco. It is not quite how I imagined it. I thought there would be more people. I changed my MP5 for an M14 that I found on a mutant that had been shot. He lied on it and I almost missed it. It had a broken stock though. The handguard was ruined and would hurt my hand. It is bolt action because the gastube it gone and a sight that was weld onto the bolt. I named it Jill after my friend that died four days ago. I went into a house for shelter and supplies, and there I found a man. His name is Liam Anderson. I gave him my first name, but not my last. I don't know why.
Following the unveiling of the new nameplate adorning the newly painted class 66 an exchange of gifts was made featuring miniature mounted plates and exhibition display models of 66 747 and a NWT truck with Maersk container.
