I road along with a local Minneapolis based vintage airplane club for their annual River Run along the Mississippi. The planes are WW2 era T-6 Texan warbird trainers from different military branches. The photo was taken in a formation over a eastern suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota called Cottage Grove.
I did a little research and this looks to be a WW2 army truck! Long retired, it basks in the sun on a quiet farm, reliving the glory days!

For this field airport "Pohledec Mountain" is a 10x10 km impenetrable forest. Here parachutists jumped off the RAF and parachutists from the USSR. SS tried to prevent it, but members of the SS were killed with knives directly on motorbikes. My native land was meaningless and therefore it circled the fascists rather than risk big losses.
Za tímto polním letištěm "Pohledecká hora u Nového města na Moravě" je 10x10 km neprostupný les. Zde seskakovali parašutisté RAF i parašutisté ze SSSR. SS tomu zkusila zabránit, ale příslušníci SS byli zabíjeni noži přímo na motorkách. Můj rodný kraj byl bezvýznamný a proto ho fašisté radši objeli, než by riskovali velké ztráty. Podrobnosti se dočtete v knize Odboj na Moravě od doktora Holemáře, která vyšla těsně po revoluci, ale cenzura ji stáhla. Atentát na Heindricha je tam vylíčen trochu jinak, než nám je léta vtloukáno do hlavy.
I have an uncle who was a marine during ww2 who fought in the pacific. This is a Japanese flag that he brought home, it has a few names written on it from some of the men that he served with. The names on the flag are:
Charles F Blanbo from Washington DC ( I think that's what the last name is, its kinda fuzzy)
Harold L Bachelor from Portland Oregon
Wm Roberts from Brookville Indiana
Frank Trusky from Akron Ohio
James E. Day from Huntsville Alaska
Douglas P. Searbrough from Monterey Tennessee
Harlan Bunnilk from Rockford Minnesota
John L. England from Jacksonville Texas
and my uncle Charles Fortney
I'm still trying to get more information like the unit he was in and if my uncle can remember where he got the flag from. He gave this to me about 25 or 30 years ago, it's been at my parents house till I asked them to send it to me.
Here are some of my new Japanese soldiers, including: Ghillie Sniper, Sgt. or a high rank soldier, a regular soldier, and a messed up pilot. I hope you guys enjoy!
A candid black-and-white portrait of Seimon Pugh-Jones sitting by a classic military Jeep. Taken at a classic vehicle show.
Shot on a Canon 70D with a 50mm lens, I aimed for a timeless feel by using monochrome, enhancing the textures and contrasts to bring out the details of the uniform, the netted helmet, and the rugged Jeep.
Seimon Pugh-Jones also operates a mobile museum, preserving history through immersive experiences. To learn more about the mobile museum, please visit their Crowdfunder page:
A friend and I were at Bunker Bash 2009, the annual military rally at the former Government bunker at Kelvedon Hatch, near Brentwood in Essex. We had been undecided about going so arrived late and not in the best of weather.
We found an enthusiatic bunch of re-enactors and military vehicles owners covering both World Wars. One part of the site had been laid out as mock entrenchments with various national groups including British, US, German, Soviet and even Serbian forces dug-in.
Now part of a large set: www.flickr.com/photos/barryslemmings/sets/72157618288704499/

Yes I am still alive! Unfortunately I won't be around Flickr much anymore.
Forgive me for not answering any messages/requests these recent months. After I moved house, we had great trouble getting an internet line, had no internet access for 2months. When we did get it, it is very slow and patchy. Then my Mum got diagnosed with cancer and had to have emergency surgery. After over two months she is still very sick and weak.

Part of the February in Narva character photographs taken for the end credit scene of the stop motion.
Inspired by the one and only Phima', the reason I ever started posting on here in the first place. I doubt you'll ever see this but if you do, cheers.
As for the build itself, I've been meaning to build myself an updated Jeep for quite some time now, and by quite some time I mean just a wee bit under 4 years, haha. Now that I've finally gone and built one, I'm pretty darn happy with it. The front bar isn't perfect so I'll probably try a minor redesign in the next few days, as well as taking some pictures of it without the canvas top. I've come up with a neat little Browning design as well that I'd like to implement.
As always, c&c is welcome.
PS check out my YouTube Channel if you're into that kind o' stuff. Channel name Carpet Lego, you can find links in the picture I posted earlier.
Thanks!
Still messing with the stickers, alternative parts and detailing, but this is pretty much the two first kits! Includes: GP Mech, Custom Minifig, custom sticker sheet and interchangeable weapons, Do you have any suggestions for these little guys?
