Sortie en VTT aux parcs des éoliennes situés au nord de Saint-Quentin. L'on voit bien la forme des nuages dessinée par le vent. Jai accentué volontairement le graphisme pour souligner la force de la nature. ATV outing to the parks of wind turbines located north of St. Quentin. You can see the shape of clouds drawn by the wind. I voluntarily highlighted the graphics of photography to highlight the strength of nature.
Course VTT Dré Dans l'Pavé
Vendredi 19 Août 2016
La troisième édition de la course urbaine en relai Dré Dans l'Pavé aura lieu le vendredi 19 Août 2016 au centre du village de Saint-Gervais-les-Bains.
Pas moins de 30 équipes vont s'affronter en relai pendant 1h15 sur une boucle de 1,7 km, agrémentée de divers modules et de parties techniques et physiques.
Found a picnic area to stop for 10 mins as my fitness levels aren't perhaps as brilliant as I imagined they would be after a, er, 10 year break from cycling. Semi-slick tyres proved to be a bit of a mistake in the low ground by the lake as it was pretty boggy, still they got through it all and they proved to be ace on the downhill return (and the couple of short road sections).
The "véhicule de l'avant blindé" (VAB) VTT is a french APC used since 1976 untill today. It was made in the context of the cold war to transport troops on the european theater, moreover it was amphibious to cross rivers quickly. This version can transport up to 12 soldiers and uses a 7.62 or 12.7 machinegun to provide fire support to the infantry, it also has trapdoors on the roof that can be used as air protection emplacements by soldiers. The vehicle is still massively used today by the french army (3500) because of its robustness, but it will soon be replaced by the new VBMR griffon.
The model that I built is the basic version used during "opération Daguet" which is the french participation during the gulf war, it is a heavily modified brickmania VAB with a desert camoflage called "Daguet". It has a bunch of trapdoors and hatches on the sides and on the roof but also 2 doors at the back to mount or dismount troops as long with a machine gun emplacement on the roof. There is enough space inside to put a driver, a copilot/gunner and a few men behind but they are very cramped to be honest since i put a motor section on a part of the left side. I've also made an optionnal attachement with an ATGM launcher in the back of the roof.
I've also made a few french soldiers in a "Daguet" camoflage to go with it, I chose to give them russian helmets since they have a similar shape as the french F1 helmets that were used at the time.
I'm sorry for that long period of inactivity but to be honest I don't think that it'll get better in the future, I do have a bunch of vehicles in LDD files (AMX-30, SA330 Puma, mirage 2000, ARL-44 acl1) but they are actually heavily inspired from other people (as close as I could to what they have done since I thought they looked really good) or, for the AMX, a modified brickmania kit or not even finished for the ARL44. But I also lost a bit of interest in building stuff, I mean first it's expensive so I have to limit my expenses for other hobbies, and then I started collecting historical items a few month ago (I could post a few of them here but I doubt that i will interest a lot of people tbh x) ) but it's exepnsive too so it's hard to conciliate both. To finish even if I passed my exams I'm going to start studies that will definitely drain my free time and my will to spend time in designing stuff. I'll try to build the models I have mentionned earlier but I doubt that I'll do it anytime soon.
Anyway I hoped you liked this one and the few soldiers too.
