Still working on this, but nearly done. At 122 studs, it's not going to get much longer, and it really just needs some tiles, and maybe the TIE windows swapped out for blue hexagonal ones.
I know these might not look like spectacular pictures, but they’re incredibly difficult to take. Ever heard the expression “quick as lightning”? So in the same split-second, you have to spot the lightning bolt in a sea of black clouds from 400 km above, aim at this minuscule white dot with your viewfinder and a big 800mm lens, focus (in the dark), and shoot. Needless to say this is impossible unless you figure out another technique… Oh well, maybe looking at the thunder striking the planet from above the massive night clouds doesn’t impress you, but I find it excessively beautiful and menacing, like swimming in deep dark waters at night and wondering what’s below you… Huge respect to Andreas Mogensen who only spent eight days on the ISS but still managed to capture a lightning strike and an even more elusive blue jet erupting upwards from it. His photo (well it was a video still actually) encouraged the "space storm hunter" ASIM facility that is now outside the Columbus module. It is purpose-built to take pictures like this, but they are not so beautiful as they use different wavelengths that are much more interesting and useful to scientists. Also it takes 720 pictures of our planet a minute... continuously, how can we compete with that? Come to think of it, Andreas must be an extremely lucky guy! ;) ASIM is revealing things nobody knew about thunderstorms, explaining new phenomena and discovering new ways of how lightning is interacting with our atmosphere and influencing our climate! www.esa.int/asim
Survolés de nuit, les orages sont spectaculaires, à la fois magnifiques et un peu inquiétants – un peu comme nager de nuit dans des eaux sombres sans savoir ce qui se cache dans les profondeurs... On devine la couverture nuageuse qui recouvre les lumières des villes et donne une texture ouatée au noir du sol, et puis de manière aléatoire, une espèce de boule de lumière s’allume ici et là et dessine les contours du nuage jusqu’ici complètement indistinct dans l’obscurité.
Pendant ma première mission, je n’ai jamais réussi à prendre d’orages en photo de nuit, pour la simple raison que la durée d’un éclair ne donne pas le temps de viser, faire la mise au point et prendre la photo… Cette fois-ci j’ai changé de tactique : je vise une zone d’orages intense avec une mise au point qui devrait être la bonne et je prends les photos au hasard en espérant avoir la chance qu’un éclair claque au moment où j’appuie sur le déclencheur (et que mon exposition et ma mise au point sont correctes). Pour une fois, après 5 minutes de mitraillage, je ne suis pas revenu bredouille de la chasse aux éclairs. Mon collègue et ami Andy Mogensen a quant à lui réussi à photographier des jets bleus jaillissant par-dessus un orage pendant sa mission en 2015, dans le cadre de l’expérience THOR, et a ainsi permis de lever le voile sur un phénomène jusque-là resté très mystérieux. A la suite de son cliché, l’ESA a fait installer l'équipement ASIM sur l’extérieur de la Station, capable de mitrailler les orages (longueurs d'ondes différentes et 720 photos par minute !). On a encore beaucoup à apprendre sur la foudre, notamment comment elle interagit avec notre atmosphère et influence notre climat.

A terrific thunder and lightning storm during the night... dry lightning at first, then it started to pour buckets.This is the first rain in weeks and weeks....
As the thunder storms brewed, ready to break the drought, flamingos circled in the evening light, having been disturbed by hyenas coming to drink at Kein Namutoni Waterhole, Etosha National Park Namibia.
GRONINGEN - Pretty big thunder storm this night in The Netherlands, some nice lightning!
Een flinke onweersbui trok in de nacht van maandag op dinsdag over Groningen.

The JF-17 Thunder is a lightweight tactic multirole supersonic combat aircraft jointly developed by the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex and the Chinese Chengdu Aircraft Industries Corporation.
About 50% of the on-board equipment and avionics for the fighter is manufactured in Pakistan at the Kamra plant, while the rest of the assembly parts come from China.
Big Thunder Mountain closed a few weeks ago for a major refurbishment, but here's a shot I took a few months ago from Tarzan's Tree House. The Tree House is a cool place for taking pictures, it's one of the few elevated vantage points in Disneyland where you aren't in a line and you can stand and nobody will bother you.
A fast weekend upload that i hope you will like :)
I'm a big fan of lightning shot , actually i would like to be a thunder hunter one day :)

This the current Thunder Bay Jail, it opened in 1928. It's one of the oldest jails in Ontario and due to be replaced. The new jail will be completed by 2026 and cost 1.2 billion.

Thunder Hole is one of the most visited sites in Acadia National Park. The spray of ocean water makes for some unique photos.

Working on Thunder Child, currently have her half pulled apart for refitting and re-design. I've added a decent armoury, rather than a little gun rack in the lounge

Johnny Thunder is back from the dead! After having been missing in South America for eight years - and subsequently declared deceased - the young adventurer is prepared to renew his travels with greater treasures, ever-dangerous locations and an even more ostentatious hat. He is joined once more by ageing acquaintance Dr. Kilroy and Pippin Reed for a trip across the globe. As always, evil follows closely in tow: the ever-persistent Baron von Barron, despite his own expeditions costing him an arm and a leg, remains prepared to sabotage Thunder in his questing.

Built for a fig-off with MiscellanaBuilds and 7up over on FBC. It was quite a lot of fun to throw these together, being outside my usual realm of building and having to adapt to my lack of Adventurers minifig pieces. C&C welcome in the comments, like usual.
No, I did not mutilate the pouch piece myself. These things happen ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
