I finally have this guy back in my collection. I originally lost this guy in one of my toy mass extinctions (garage sale). He was one of the last figures to go in it so I was hoping he would stay. he was the last turtle figure I bought as a kid. I've been looking for this one in good condition and with weapons, so I got him for a decent price
RECOVERY: RED FLAG 16-2 General Dynamics F-16C Viper s/n 88-0499 USAF WA 16th Weapons Squadron @ Nellis AFB, Las Vegas, NV
Violence is a reality that we all face in poverty ravaged neighborhoods. Everybody has their weapon to rise out of the madness, so what would yours be if you was in that situation? 5D Mark Duce, f2.0 @ iso 100.

Built during 1945 at the Martin factory in Omaha, Nebraska, with the US military serial 44-86292.
She was allocated to become one of a squadron of ‘Silverplate’ aircraft, specifically converted for the carriage of atomic weapons. The conversions were carried out by Martin’s Modification Center and as well as the necessary bomb bay modifications they also had all gun turrets except the tail turret removed and were fitted with Curtiss electric propellers.
44-86292 was identified as ‘Silverplate Victor 82’ and was delivered to the 393rd Bomb Squadron under the 509th Composite Group, although for security reasons she was painted in the markings of the 6th Bomb Group.
On 24th and 26th July she dropped ‘Pumpkin’ bombs on Japanese industrial targets. Pumpkin bombs were conventional bombs developed by the Manhattan Project to closely replicate the ballistic and handling qualities of the ‘Fat Man’ plutonium bombs.
Then, on 6th August 1945, she delivered the first nuclear weapon ever used in combat. At 08.15 local time, the gun-type fission weapon ‘Little Boy’ was released from 31,000ft over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. 66,000 people were killed and 69,000 injured by the blast, which had a calculated yield of 15 kilotons.
‘Enola Gay’, as she had been named before the mission, was returned to the United States in November 1945 and was stored at Davis Monthan AFB, Arizona, between July 1946 and July 1949.
She was stored at Park Ridge, Illinois, from 1949 to 1952, along with other aircraft allocated for museum use. In January 1952 she moved to Pyote AFB, Texas, and remained in store there until 2nd December 1953 when she flew for the final time and delivered herself to Andrews AFB, Maryland. At Andrews she was stored outside until July 1961, when she was dismantled and moved to Silver Hill, Maryland, to join the Smithsonian Institutes other stored aircraft. A mammoth restoration was started in December 1984 and was finally completed in 2002, with spectacular results.
She is seen on display in the Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center as part of the National Air and Space Museum.

Psionic Energy Rifle -- This rifle collects and enhances psionic energy from the pilot, concentrating it enough that it will actually inflict damage on another mech. The section at the end of the boom arm is the collector, the main body is the enhancer, and the circular section at the front is the projector.
Heavy Snub Battle Rifle -- Inspired by Zizy's work.
Multi-Beam Rifle -- Another attempt at a Mechaton scale weapon.
Heavy Assault Cannon -- Based on a vague rememberance of the BFG Aeryn Sun is firing in one of the scenes of the Farscape intro.

Honestly, I don't know what I'll use this guy for yet. But like the flashy B.A.T. Tech, I love it! My kid calls it the "Flamas B.A.T." Maybe it runs on Doritos?
So I recently got time to sneak in some Lego and I made some new Mods. Along with that, I made the sickest MW3 figs ever! I finished Soap and Price, and Sandman and Nikolai are in the making. Another week and I'll reveal them. They all have extremem detail. But basically here are mods and credit for the M14 EBR goes to Kalskirata. Enjoy :)
If you use, please give credit :)
"Fear's a strangely effective weapon."
---
In the middle of a conversation between a gunsmith, and a roaming stranger, whose interest has been piqued by a strange firearm sitting atop a shelf behind the gunsmith, who had a role in its creation:
"Now who said overkill existed in the first place? I never believed in that nonsense. I doubt anyone else would disagree with me here. If you look at all the weapons we carefully crafted now and over the years, you can see that we genuinely don't care about the safety about the enemy. Why? Well, we just answer that ourselves with another question: 'why should we?' Now this right here, what I'm showing you, is a true example of that tenet. I personally call it 'The Dreamcatcher,' simply and only because this thing right here is a nightmare to behold. After all, it was meant to match the client in terms of intimidation. If you ever do get to meet the original owner of this gun, you'd think to yourself, 'there's no way she could've been the one to shoot, let alone hold and even ask for this weapon to be made.' You'd think some big, menacing guy would be the one massacring enemies of the state with this but no, it's a slim woman about your height. Completely the opposite of what you'd expect. Looks aren't everything. After all, that's one of the basic things an assassin like her learns, but I'm no expert on that field. I'm a creator, not a destroyer."
"Tell me more about this 'Dreamcatcher.'"
"Oh this? Like I said, it's a nightmare to behold. Not only does it look menacing, it behaves menacingly. Of course, you probably already knew this. Our weapons essentially are made to match the person who's going to hold and use them in the future. I already told you about the person this was meant for."
The gunsmith picks up The Dreamcatcher from the shelf and places it on the counter.
"Look here. See this blade? It hasn't been cleaned off still. That was an order straight from the client herself. She said something about the weapon's condition being a way to store memories of battles and such, like a museum or something of that sort. You can really picture what this thing went through. The tip of the blade right here is razor sharp. Some poor fellow was too unfortunate to find himself on the receiving end of this, and the blade didn't even go in far. You might be wondering why the blade is this size too. Well, let's just say it's because of the overkill thing. Can't ever have a blade that's too big. Of course, we did keep weight in mind so it's not that ridiculously big...
Now the main component of this is the SMG itself. The rounds hit hard for their little size. More bang for your buck, as the saying goes. In terms of fire rate, I'd say this thing competes with assault rifles more. Same with the accuracy."
He then holds The Dreamcatcher and aims at a target, emptying out the magazine loaded in the gun. All of the shots landed roughly around the middle of the target. The gunsmith reloads the gun and puts another magazine in, before setting it down on the counter once more.
"See? Accurate. There's also a few gadgets here and there to help you really stay on target. The front sight has an integrated laser sight so you aim better and readjust your aim when necessary. The beam goes roughly as far as the effective range of the gun, so you can better assess your range from the enemy and move up if you need. There's tritium iron sights so you have some sort of visibility and hope of target acquisition at night. I personally don't believe in all of this complex nonsense about having the best tech on the market and having a gun be 99% extra attachments, so when I headed the production of The Dreamcatcher, I made sure it was not only effective, but simple. It's a proof of concept that complexity isn't always mandatory or necessary."
I point to the gun right under the blade and ask what it is.
"This? This is my personal favorite part. It's a sidearm that can be attached to the gun as an underbarrel weapon. What it does is that it charges up energy and then boom! Laser beams! Deadly ones to be exact. It's experimental so you won't see things like that around too much. Those beams are strong enough to melt through and pierce not only armor but human skin as well, but the energy output needed is so high that it's nearly impossible to create a sustaining beam. You have to wait a while before firing your next shot. In seconds, I'd say that's roughly 3-4 seconds of your time. I know, I know, 3-4 seconds are a lot but what can I do? Technology is like that sometimes."
"What's this?" I then point to the ornament on the weapon.
"That ornament was put there by the assassin. It's a good luck charm to be exact. You know, one of those things that people use because they think it'll help them or something. Well, I think this one right here is one of those times where it actually did help. Don't worry, these lasers are harmless. They're merely for decoration."
The weapon was indeed interesting, but it didn't deserve to just sit around here idly.
"Is it possible for me to acquire this gun?" I ask.
"Oh, well uhh...it's not for sale. I'm not sure how the original owner would feel if I just gave it to some stranger," the gunsmith said.
"I'm looking for her anyways. I think it'd be nice if it came back to its original owner, don't you?" I reply.
"Well, that's true. Hmm, actually I think you're right. It should be where it belongs now. Tell you what, since you're on your way, you could give this as a gift. That way, it won't end up with a stranger. I don't think many take interest in war artifacts anymore either so it'll just end up collecting dust if it stayed here with the people that worked on making it. At least it can be put to use, even if nobody pulls the trigger."
He hands the weapon to me.
"It's more than just a weapon, remember that. Like everything that's made, it carries a story with it too, and I entrust you to bring that story back to its author."
"Very well. Farewell, and thank you." I place the rifle on my back and walk off on my journey to reunite this weapon with its distant owner.
1943 WWII Soviet Red Army - original, I bought from Rguns.net for $800, I suggest to get one while you can - their original sniper rifles are super nice
Yup, see there's an old Russian adage, that I just made up, that says: "If something has a lot of guns, that's all the reason to add more!"
This here is the T-120 MkIII Scout model. On those dangerous missions, they can blast out anyone that comes their way with a 130mm gun, four ATGMs, one 12.7mm coax, one 12.7mm minigun, and one 7.62mm manned MG. It's a rolling arsenal, alright! Of the 1,500 T-120s ordered, 100 of these will be Mk IIIs, the rest will be Mk IIs.

This photo was taken at the Gloucester Point end of the George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge (in Virginia). Before the bridge was constructed, residents on either side of the York River depended on ferries. At that time Gloucester Point (where I grew up) was a loosely connected rural community of perhaps 200 people. Today it’s an unincorporated place of about 9,500.
“The George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge (known locally as simply the Coleman Bridge) is a double swing bridge that spans the York River between Gloucester County and York County between Yorktown, Virginia and Gloucester Point, Virginia. It connects the Peninsula and Middle Peninsula regions of Tidewater Virginia.
Originally built in 1952, it was reconstructed and widened in 1995 through an unusual process which greatly reduced the time the important commuter artery was out-of-service from conventional methods. The current 3,750-foot (1,140 m)-long double-swing-span swing bridge carries U.S. Highway 17, a 4-lane arterial highway. The movable span is needed to allow ship access to several military installations that are upstream of the bridge, most notably, the U.S. Navy's Naval Weapons Station Yorktown. The roadways are almost 90 feet (27 m) above the river at the highest point of the bridge. The bridge is the largest double swing bridge in the United States, and second largest in the world.
The toll bridge was named for George P. Coleman, who from 1913 to 1922 was the head of the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, predecessor to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).”

Hey guys, someone kindly asked me to show what camo weapons we have left that have never been listed and here is what remains. Not a whole lot but some cool stuff none-the-less. I miss getting to tinker around with the camo weapons, but with the prototypes and all I've not had any time. I have no immediate plans for these pieces. -JD
Get any weapon you could need from Kai and Nya's blacksmith shop! Who can say no to a blade signed by the Master of Fire?*
Another section from Kai and my NINJAGO collab, and one of my favorites - I just love the colors here! Plus, as this was the first on I built, I didn't have to worry too much about parts and size, so that was definitely a plus, haha! The stone floor/pathway was a new technique for me here, but I'm very happy with how it turned out!
This is also the second largest of my sections of the collab - be on the lookout for Sensei Wu's Monastery sometime next week!
Scroll on through my photostream for more closeups and interior pictures, or check out all the sections I've uploaded
here, and don't miss Kai's in this album!
Thanks for viewing, C&C welcome as always!

Large original photograph. The back has a tag saying: "Aus dem Westen. Geschützen werden durch mannschaften in die Stellungen gezogen".
Most likely a BUFA shot, August 1918.
On scene are 3 groups of soldiers, each pulling a piece of light artillery, possibly a 7.7 cm Feldkanone, but I can't find the exact model. Do note the late-war camouflage applied to the cannons. Possibly, these are modified versions and fairly unknown. The men are flanked by an NCO and an officer of the unit.
The soldiers are wearing a mix of M15 Bluse and M1907 Feldrock. All are wearing puttees and trousers with leather reinforced knees. Such pants were worn by mountain troops, assualt troops and other specialty units. Gear is limited to a gasmask, Kar98 on the back and bayonet. All soldiers have steel helmets with an interesting camouflage pattern applied to it. Also notable are small decals on the side of their helmets. I first assumed it had to be postwar, but to top it off, a knocked out British tank, as well as a French Snider tank can be seen in the battlefield behind them, i.e. it was made during world war one.
Little is known about which unit this actually is, but it is very likely to be a Infanteriegeschützebatterie (Infantry Gun Battery) or Sturmbegleitbatterie (Assault Accompanying Battery). Such units were formed on a divisional level and accompanied infantry for the duration of one operation. Prior to 1916, these were also called shock batteries or Stossbatterien, for their part in supporting advancing shock troops.
A typical unit consisted for 4 guns and a 6 man crew for each gun and these would position on the flanks of the second wave of infantry shock troops and would advance 1000 yards after the first assault wave. Guns would move in two-gun detachments, so that the two other pieces of artillery were always at the ready. The aim was to take out enemy strongholds at close range.
53 of such batteries were formed by the end of the war and I'd say that were looking at one of them. I'm seeing some shadows of men walking in front of the first cannon, so this could be the 4th cannon of the batterie. The number of men seems to be pretty much correct.
Some are of the opinion that this is the Kanonenabteilung of Sturm Battalion Nr. 5 (Rohr) and that the camouflage M1916 helmets have a Baden Crests hand painted on the side. The Ersatzabteilung of the Gebirgs-Artillerie-Abteilungen Nr. 5 and 6 (located in Breisgau/Baden) provided replacement soldiers for Infanteriegeschützebatteries Nr. 1, 3, 6, 9, and also for the Infanteriegeschuetzbatterie of the Sturmbataillon Rohr, hence the Baden crest. This must however be incorrect, as the stripe on the Baden crest points in the other direction.
It is however correct that a lot of the crewmen of the Infanteriegeschützebatterien were trained by Assault Battalion Rohr. Another type of badge has been found on the helmet of another Infanteriegeschützebatterie, so this suggests that some had their own unofficial helmet insginia.
Thomas Wictor, who has a similar looking picture is of the opinion that these men are from Infantry Gun Battery No. 2, which was Bavarian. He enforces this by pointing out that, on close inspection, the tunics are Bavarian ones . They have a single digit and since Infantry Gun Batteries 2 and 10 were Bavarian, it can only be the 2nd. Also, it is a digit only and no flaming bomb, consistent with what Bavarians did.
The shield might be an unofficial infantry-gun emblem that was different for each battery.
Thomas also shared with me that the cannons are Krupp 7,7 cm Infanterie-Geschütz 18. This 1918 model never saw combat,making this a picture made during a training.
Make sure to check out the other uploads for today, it would be a shame if this one eclipses those!

It can not go unnoticed that some of the weapons shown here may be anachronistic in
the context of a modern war, but were to be produced and distributed to the soldiers, who
often built by themselves blunt objects for personal use.
Clubs and maces were used by almost all major nations, Italy did not use them, but used other equally effective means.
Soldiers Often used as weapons the entrenching tools, including shovels with sharpened
margins, which proved to be robust and effective, or the pioneers' tools, designed to break Chevaux of Frise and wooden poles
of wired obstacles.
The bolo knife was a Filippino work knife, it was adopted after the Philippine-American War (1899-1902)
Daggers were used primarily by shock troops, they were much more effective
and robust than bayonets that often broke or could not hurt
enemy when this was heavily dressed. Daggers as well as being a weapon were
often also a symbol of belonging to the elite regiments, and in a certain way also a psychological tool,
they meant that the soldier would be able to infiltrate the
defense system of the enemy coming finally to the melee, without first being mowed by machine gun
or tattered by artillery shells, how often happened in small tactical contexts,
but rarely in large strategic attacks.
In fact the percentage of soldiers killed by these weapons was very little, men were killed by big shell explosions, gas, machine-guns
and shots of gunfire, and more than 30% from diseases and starvation.
These weapons can also do think that this war has been deliberately barbarous, merciless and inhumane.
I believe it wasn't so in reality, this was a war fought with great fair play and fighting garb, the context was inhumane,
but not the minds of senior officers and fighters.
Here's a little teaser on what I'm working on. Catch me at Fantasy Gacha Carnival introducing new work in collaboration with Equinox.
A female bordered mantis (I think Stagmomantis limbata) grooming. This is the time of year we find adults in our yard. In this species, the females don't fly (although they have wings, they're not big enough to get them airborne), so if I spot one I can usually find it again. They are usually either green or brown, but sometimes have markings that are pink or even purple. Photographed on a black background then released where found -- in the garden right outside my front door.
Thank you so much for the visits, favs and comments :)
