The West Woods, Novelty, Ohio
Another shot from the brass concert, at The West Woods, just before Christmas.
Post office I built for an event the Irish postal service are holding with a speaker from Lego. It was done in a bit of a hurry, so I could only use parts I had to hand. I think it worked out quite well considering. The upper floors were recycled from the pet shop I built last year. The custom stickers were printed at a local print bureau. Unfortunately they could only print paper labels rather than proper glossy stickers.

I decided to do another Post-Apoc weapon, this time, with the AK-47.

In the near future, the undead has risen. Somewhere in Russia, a man took his weapon along to defend himself. Over the days, the weapon has become rusted, scratched, and on the verge of being broken. But if its still usable, might as well....

Post-Apocalyptic Survival Outpost
Located off the Texas Coast
I have always wanted to build a post-apocalyptic diorama but I didn't want to recreate the usual dio of dilapidated structures and cities in ruins.
In almost every apocalyptic scenario, the cities usually are the first place survivors head due to large amounts of supplies, weapons, non-perishable food, and the possibility of finding other survivors. However, urban areas are usually hit the hardest in any apocalypse. Large amounts of destruction, lack of electricity, presence of outlaw gangs, and other dangers await survivors that hope to find shelter in the metropolis.
With this in mind, where would you turn to find sustainable safety and security for a group of survivors? The county side? Rural towns? The coast?
A while back, I was out fishing near some gas and oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. I thought to myself, "why not build a survival outpost on rig a mile off the coast?"

Offshore structures can provide all of the 5 resources required to survive.
Water - A basic desalinization devise along with large amounts of coastal rainfall would provide all the fresh water required
Food - Sea life of all kinds can be acquired near offshore rigs. The structure creates cooler water with shade from the sun and the underwater structure acts as a natural reef which attracts bait and then predators. Crustaceans and shellfish can be collected from the surrounding waters. The tropical climate makes for great greenhouse conditions.
Shelter - A roof and walls offer a place to keep supplies dry and a refuge from the elements.
Protection - Being offshore, the risk of attack is reduced. Survivors are better able to detect possible threats and react accordingly. The near proximity to the shore also makes trips to the mainland feasible. And of course, lots of guns.
Energy - With an almost infinite supply of natural gas and wind, you could power almost anything using natural gas engine conversions and wind generators.
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.
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.
The Philippine Post Office Building, the center of Philippine postal services and the headquarters of the then-Bureau of Posts, was completed in its present-day Neo-Classical style in 1926, it was destroyed during World War II. It was rebuilt in 1946, after the war.
Well the landscape looks that way to me. Empty trains from the spoil tip sometimes paused here. I can't remember whether the ramshackle cabin was manned or not - although given that the front is missing from it, I doubt that it was. So typically Fuxin at the time.

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.

After seeing some post-apoc presets AK SMGs, I decided to make my own. Although its not as good as Wylee's (credit for FX), its still my own.
