Burning wheeled mechanical red fury which exhales carbon dioxide and slices in two everything in its way.
Nothin`much to say about it, a moc that was built last year waiting for my lazy ass to make a youtube video or take it photos. I'm not very convinced with the legs, they're really messy and don't have a clear shape, but the whole thing looks ok I guess
We bolt into the building we just saw Kinyetz in. He's not getting away from me. Failure is a fate worse than death, and I always get my quarry. In the damaged building there wasn't as much resistance as you'd expect their to be for a commander's quarters, but the men who were guarding had heavy armor on and used light machine guns. All the armor and big guns in the world mean nothing if you can't use them in tandem with skill and discipline, something these men were short of. They weren't even a problem for Mykhailo, and he's using that rusty, primitive pea shooter and had no armor. This kid has the potential to be a great warrior with some proper training. Honestly I dare say he'd be as great as me, if he had the privilege of being military labrat, anyway. On the third floor we're still dashing around the halls, blowing away anyone who's stupid enough to get in our line of sight. Out of the corner of my eye I see Kinyetz rounding the corner. Junior and I give chase. He makes it into an elevator and slams the button with the one hand he has. That hand was holding onto a TT33 pistol, with his finger on the trigger. Amateur move. Or so I though went after slamming the button he seamlessly points it and takes aim. He wasn't aiming at me, though. Oh god!!
"Junior, loo ou--"
*BANG*
She's finally done! With fifty minutes to spare! That was a close one!
This ugly duckling is "The Ravager Hive". She used to be a military drone fighter carrier, but during a routine training exercise, she was hijacked by a gang of mercenaries. Over the years, many modifications were made to better suit the needs of her new owners. Her own mother wouldn't even recognize her now!
The Ravager Hive carries four drone fighters that are controlled by four crew members inside the upper deck. Crew quarters are also found on the upper deck. The lower deck has a lounge area and an access passage to the bridge. The bridge has room for the pilot and co-pilot. In the rear of the ship is the engine room.
The Hive is equipped with four autonomous twin-barreled ion cannon turrets. None of which are standard issue. She also has an expanded communications array on the nose and much thicker armour plating than usual.
Alright, time for some specs! The Ravager Hive clocks in at 123 studs long, not including Antennae. 136 including them. 57 studs wide and 45 tall. Without using a scale, I'd estimate that it weighs in the neighbourhood of twenty to thirty pounds. So you probably won't see me swooshing this one either.

This was one of the homes I had to work in while helping out member of the community that were ravaged by the flood of 2013. It looks like it should be in a horror movie and not part of an actual persons house.
Barfreston and the surrounding lands were given as a fief by William the Conqueror to the De Port family (from Port-en-Bessin in Normandy) for services rendered at the Castle of Dover, at a time when Odo, half-brother of William, was both earl of Kent and bishop of Bayeux in Normandy. This French family built the parochial church that was dedicated to Saint Nicholas.
One of the most remarkable Romanesque (aka “Norman”) churches in the United Kingdom, Barfreston was built with local flintstone for the lower parts of the wall, and in “pierre de Caen”, a kind of limestone found in Normandy and lending itself quite well to sculpture, for the upper parts. Most of the church was built during the late 11th century, with some parts remodeled around 1180 by Hugo’s grandson. While the outside remains very genuine, the inside of this church was unfortunately completely ravaged by Victorian “restorers”: alfresco wall paintings from the late 1100s disappeared forever in this disaster, and only drawings of them remain. In this respect, English monuments were not better treated than their counterparts in France —in fact, it was often even worse. The apse wall, in particular, with its great rose, was entirely rebuilt in the 19th century, although mostly with original stones, as least for the decorated upper part.
The big Romanesque rose (or wheel window) with its French-influenced, wheel-like spokes and monsters pretending to consume them into their gaping maws... Surrounding the rose is an interesting and picturesque gallery of monsters from the Mediæval bestiary.
Notice the lineup of grotesque modillions: it runs all around the church, not only under the roof of the side walls.
Notice also a probable Emperor Constantine trampling over Paganism —although the statue is very small and it is unclear whether it is actually trampling over anything... It is also damaged and probably came from somewhere else. This theme is never touched upon in British religious sculpture and reveals a direct influence from Elinor’s Poitou or Saintonge provinces.
Finally, one also hopes to identify severely mutilated symbols of the Evangelists. Those may have come from somewhere else, too, although some scholars opine (without clear documentary proof) that there was at one point a Christ in Majesty somewhere on this gable, and a Tetramorph to accompany Him.

"Manner (German pronunciation: [ˈmanɐ]) is a line of confectionery from the Austrian conglomerate, Josef Manner & Comp AG. The corporation, founded in 1890, produces a wide assortment of confectionery products. These include wafers, long-life confectionery, chocolate-based confectionery, sweets, cocoa and a variety of seasonal products.
The company's best-known product are the "Neapolitan wafers", introduced in 1898. They are sold in blocks of ten 47 x 17 x 17 mm hazelnut-cream filled wafers. The hazelnuts were originally imported from the Naples region in Italy, hence the name. The basic recipe has remained unchanged to this day.
The company logo is a picture of St Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. This dates to the 1890s, when Josef Manner opened his first shop next to the Cathedral. The Archdiocese of Vienna and the Manner Company agreed that the company may use the cathedral in its logo in return for funding the wages of one stonemason performing repair work on the structure.
The Stephansplatz is a square at the geographical centre of Vienna. It is named after its most prominent building, the Stephansdom, Vienna's cathedral and one of the tallest churches in the world. Before the 20th century, a row of houses separated Stephansplatz from Stock-im-Eisen-Platz, but since their destruction, the name Stephansplatz started to be used for the wider area covering both. To the west and south, respectively, run the exclusive shopping streets Graben (literally "ditch") and Kärntner Straße ("Kärnten" is the German for Carinthia). Opposite the Stephansdom is the Haas-Haus, a piece of striking modern architecture by Hans Hollein. Although public opinion was originally skeptical about the combination of the mediaeval cathedral and the glass and steel building, it is now considered an example of how old and new architecture can mix harmoniously.
The Stock-im-Eisen ("staff in iron") is located at the corner of Kärntner Straße and Graben in a niche on the corner of the Palais Equitable. It is a section of tree trunk into which hundreds of nails have been hammered since the Middle Ages, and which is ringed by an iron band closed by a large padlock. The earliest written mention of it dates to 1533 and it is the subject of legends about the Devil.
Vienna (/viˈɛnə/; German: Wien [viːn]) is the national capital, largest city, and one of nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's most populous city, with about 1.9 million inhabitants (2.6 million within the metropolitan area, nearly one third of the country's population), and its cultural, economic, and political center. It is the 6th-largest city by population within city limits in the European Union.
Until the beginning of the 20th century, Vienna was the largest German-speaking city in the world, and before the splitting of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in World War I, the city had 2 million inhabitants. Today, it is the second-largest German-speaking city after Berlin. Vienna is host to many major international organizations, including the United Nations, OPEC and the OSCE. The city is located in the eastern part of Austria and is close to the borders of the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. These regions work together in a European Centrope border region. Along with nearby Bratislava, Vienna forms a metropolitan region with 3 million inhabitants. In 2001, the city center was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In July 2017 it was moved to the list of World Heritage in Danger. Additionally to being known as the "City of Music" due to its musical legacy, as many famous classical musicians such as Beethoven and Mozart who called Vienna home. Vienna is also said to be the "City of Dreams", because of it being home to the world's first psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. Vienna's ancestral roots lie in early Celtic and Roman settlements that transformed into a Medieval and Baroque city. It is well known for having played a pivotal role as a leading European music center, from the age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century. The historic center of Vienna is rich in architectural ensembles, including Baroque palaces and gardens, and the late-19th-century Ringstraße lined with grand buildings, monuments and parks.
Vienna is known for its high quality of life. In a 2005 study of 127 world cities, the Economist Intelligence Unit ranked the city first (in a tie with Vancouver and San Francisco) for the world's most livable cities. Between 2011 and 2015, Vienna was ranked second, behind Melbourne. In 2018, it replaced Melbourne as the number one spot and continued as the first in 2019. For ten consecutive years (2009–2019), the human-resource-consulting firm Mercer ranked Vienna first in its annual "Quality of Living" survey of hundreds of cities around the world. Monocle's 2015 "Quality of Life Survey" ranked Vienna second on a list of the top 25 cities in the world "to make a base within." The UN-Habitat classified Vienna as the most prosperous city in the world in 2012/2013. The city was ranked 1st globally for its culture of innovation in 2007 and 2008, and sixth globally (out of 256 cities) in the 2014 Innovation Cities Index, which analyzed 162 indicators in covering three areas: culture, infrastructure, and markets. Vienna regularly hosts urban planning conferences and is often used as a case study by urban planners. Between 2005 and 2010, Vienna was the world's number-one destination for international congresses and conventions. It attracts over 6.8 million tourists a year.
Evidence has been found of continuous habitation in the Vienna area since 500 BC, when Celts settled the site on the Danube. In 15 BC the Romans fortified the frontier city they called Vindobona to guard the empire against Germanic tribes to the north.
Close ties with other Celtic peoples continued through the ages. The Irish monk Saint Colman (or Koloman, Irish Colmán, derived from colm "dove") is buried in Melk Abbey and Saint Fergil (Virgil the Geometer) served as Bishop of Salzburg for forty years. Irish Benedictines founded twelfth-century monastic settlements; evidence of these ties persists in the form of Vienna's great Schottenstift monastery (Scots Abbey), once home to many Irish monks.
In 976, Leopold I of Babenberg became count of the Eastern March, a district centered on the Danube on the eastern frontier of Bavaria. This initial district grew into the duchy of Austria. Each succeeding Babenberg ruler expanded the march east along the Danube, eventually encompassing Vienna and the lands immediately east. In 1145 Duke Henry II Jasomirgott moved the Babenberg family residence from Klosterneuburg in Lower Austria to Vienna. From that time, Vienna remained the center of the Babenberg dynasty.
In 1440 Vienna became the resident city of the Habsburg dynasty. It eventually grew to become the de facto capital of the Holy Roman Empire (800–1806) in 1437 and a cultural center for arts and science, music and fine cuisine. Hungary occupied the city between 1485 and 1490.
In the 16th and 17th centuries Christian forces twice stopped Ottoman armies outside Vienna, in the 1529 Siege of Vienna and the 1683 Battle of Vienna. The Great Plague of Vienna ravaged the city in 1679, killing nearly a third of its population.
In 1804, during the Napoleonic Wars, Vienna became the capital of the newly formed Austrian Empire. The city continued to play a major role in European and world politics, including hosting the Congress of Vienna in 1814/15. After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, Vienna remained the capital of what became the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The city functioned as a center of classical music, for which the title of the First Viennese School (Haydn/Mozart/Beethoven) is sometimes applied.
During the latter half of the 19th century, Vienna developed what had previously been the bastions and glacis into the Ringstraße, a new boulevard surrounding the historical town and a major prestige project. Former suburbs were incorporated, and the city of Vienna grew dramatically. In 1918, after World War I, Vienna became capital of the Republic of German-Austria, and then in 1919 of the First Republic of Austria.
From the late-19th century to 1938 the city remained a center of high culture and of modernism. A world capital of music, Vienna played host to composers such as Brahms, Bruckner, Mahler and Richard Strauss. The city's cultural contributions in the first half of the 20th century included, among many, the Vienna Secession movement in art, psychoanalysis, the Second Viennese School (Schoenberg, Berg, Webern), the architecture of Adolf Loos and the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein and the Vienna Circle. In 1913 Adolf Hitler, Leon Trotsky, Josip Broz Tito, Sigmund Freud and Joseph Stalin all lived within a few kilometres of each other in central Vienna, some of them becoming regulars at the same coffeehouses. Austrians came to regard Vienna as a center of socialist politics, sometimes referred to as "Red Vienna"(“Das rote Wien”). In the Austrian Civil War of 1934 Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss sent the Austrian Army to shell civilian housing such as the Karl Marx-Hof occupied by the socialist militia." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

Une journée pour dire son refus de la misère « Il y a une pandémie qu'on oublie. Elle fait des ravages partout dans le monde, elle tue. C'est la misère. » Ces mots ont été prononcés par le responsable d'ATD Quart-monde en préambule à la présentation de la journée du refus de la misère.
A day to say his refusal to misery "There is a pandemic that we forget. It wreaks havoc around the world, it kills. It's misery. These words were uttered by the head of ATD Fourth World in the preamble to the presentation of the day to Overcome Extreme Poverty.
Ce qui est paradoxal, c'est que cet homme est allongé là dans le froid juste devant la vitrine de la banque et j'ajouterais : le comble de l'ironie c'est une banque qui a pour slogan "la banque à qui parler !"
What is ironic is that this man is lying there in the cold just outside the window of the bank and I would add: the height of irony that a bank which has the slogan "a bank to talk !
Taking this shot the temperature was at 12°C, we're expecting for next night morning 0°C.....
Début d'après-midi prenant la phot, il faitsait 12° au soleil, nous attendons pour demain matin 0°........
This is yet another photo from a dio (a "dio" is a comic book made of toy photos) that I haven't finished yet.
The toy is called Ravager, and apparently he's from a video game called Red Faction. I bought several of these figures recently.
Burning wheeled mechanical red fury which exhales carbon dioxide and slices in two everything in its way.

This is the pistol used by the ravages and most notably Peter Quill (aka star lord) built to 1:1 scale. This took me a very long time to build mainly due to it relying mostly on technic, which made it very difficult to build, and I still didn’t get all the details just the way I wanted them, but I am still very pleased with the way the build turned out, and I will be posting more pictures for it soon. Let me know what you think.

Returning in the last week or so to a more traditional weather pattern for this time of year, South East Queensland has had storms and rain and the parks and gardens have come alive. It's hot and humid too. And better still, large parts of the parched state have had some good early rain including the bushfire ravaged parts which are sadly quite widespread. For the first time in ages, 'Shrooms have raised their heads in our back yard. Nothing fancy but it's nice to see them - I liked this one that almost has petals.
The history of the Franciscan Church - similar to the history of Salzburg Cathedral - can be traced back to Salzburg's early Christian period. Both churches are distinguished by their contrasting architectural styles: the Cathedral, a dominating Baroque bishops' church and the Franciscan Church, a slender, Gothic church for the middle class. The Cathedral, a stately ecclesiastical structure, the Franciscan Church a place of silent communion.
The church's origins are obscure, it is maintained that it may be older than the Cathedral. Its construction is attributed to St. Virgil. As most of the other churches in Salzburg it was repeatedly ravaged by fire and fell victim to the chastisement of Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa in 1167. The aspiring Salzburg burghers left their mark on the city with their reconstruction of the church at the turn of the 12th century and again at the beginning of the 15th century. The self-confident middle class could afford to have the church renovated by the most famous architect in the Salzburg region, Hans von Burghausen. At that time Hans von Burghausen had gained recognition through his churches in Landshut and Neuötting. His masterpiece is the magnificent hall choir which effectively reflects the fusion of light and darkness, one of the Fransican Church's special features. The original high altar was built by Michael Pacher from 1495-1498 but has, unfortunately, not been preserved. Fortunately, the statue of the Madonna with Child, one of Michael Pacher's masterpieces, was integrated in the high altar designed by Fischer von Erlach 1709/1710 and thus preserved for posterity. The tower holds one of the oldest preserved bells made by the master bell-founder, Jörg Gloppischer, in 1468.
In my mind I conjure up images from post holocaust documentary films of the death camps taken by the allied forces. Bodies piled up one on top of the other, as the bulldozers would shovel them into the massive graves. Trees symbolize life. Cut down gives me an ominous feeling that foreshadows an end of humanity.
These photographs were taken in Canada where the lumber industry is well regulated to maintain the forests. As the grown trees are cut down there are young ones planted to keep replenishing the tree population. Nevertheless the feeling of sadness and doom is ever present.
Ok so since i saw guardians of the galaxy volume 2 i wanted to make the original guardians team as they appeared in the post credits scene. for stakar i want to use the newer bruce wayne hairpiece from the lego batman movie sets. I'm not sure whether i would paint it grey or leave it as it is. For stallones head i thought that the angry clone piece was perfect, although im still undecided on a body for him as well as a shoulder piece to use. im considering using a navy blue police officer torso because of what he is wearing in the film. I figured that a police badge would make a good stand in for the ravagers logo but we'll see how it goes. And lastly for thor im looking to use a qui gon jinn hair piece painted blonde to represent his long hair in the film. i feel that lego hasnt done the best job in the past regarding thors hair and that this would be the best fit for him. Another option would be to use the lego friends Emma (i believe?) hairpiece which i have seen used before on custom game of thrones figures. Anyway thats it for now let me know what you think, i have one more to upload!
