  1. Thank you! This other image is clearer.
  2. Hi guys! I have a new few questions. There are landmarks that are not better identifiable on the map, although you can zoom in. For example, what is that place of interest in B4 in the middle of the hills? Or, what is that place of interest in G5 annexed to the port, is it a tower with a crane above? And finally what is that mound in C5 next to the ruined arch north of the houses in the desert? I say this because I want to respect the rules of the campaign as much as possible and I don't want to be penalized because I misinterpreted a place of interest. Is it possible a minimum of personal interpretation of the map? Thanks for the attention.
  3. Thank you! The tank is a combination of multiple styles, mostly inspired by the K2 and Leclerc, with some additions. In the future, moreover, I will publish a topic focused on this tank, in the dedicated section. I am trying to develop a story as much as possible in line with the game, and at the same time that it is plausible from every point of view, in anticipation of further developments.
  4. At Catway Proving Ground, General Elisa Tress was called by the operational director of the APMIP (Advanced Plighia Military Innovative Projects), Robert Pauli, to attend the definitive test of the capabilities of the new ERA (Explosive Reactive Armor) nicknamed "ADAMANT", with which will be equipped with the old and new MBT of the Plighia army. In this case they are tested on the new and more innovative MBT P12A3 "Wolverine". P12A3 "Wolverine" ERA Test at Catway Proving Ground by Jordan Parmegiani, su Flickr Director Pauli: "we managed to develop an innovative system of ERA plates that guarantee almost total protection from the weapons of our enemies, we called it ADAMANT. In practice it is a system with layers of explosives and metal plates that can block any type of warhead or bullet. It can even block tandem heads that manage to penetrate normal ERAs, the disadvantage is that it is very heavy, and significantly decreases the speed and agility of the tank ". Gen. Tress: "I read the project reports, which my collaborators followed step by step. The words for our new government are no longer enough, the facts are needed, especially now that international tensions are at the highest levels. I am confident that your department has succeeded. Is of vital importance". P12A3 "Wolverine" ERA Test at Catway Proving Ground by Jordan Parmegiani, su Flickr Director Pauli: "I understand your concern and impatience, this project has lasted for years and we guarantee that it will not be a failure. At this moment one of our operators is loading the test cannon, it is a cannon of the type mounted on the P12A3, a 125mm York C233, we will use a tandem ammunition to better test the new ERAs ". Gen. Tress: "excellent, remember, this technology, in addition to remaining secret, must go to war sooner or later, if it is a success, your department will be further financed. " P12A3 "Wolverine" ERA Test at Catway Proving Ground by Jordan Parmegiani, su Flickr Director Pauli: "in this bunker we will be safe, from here you have the perfect view of the test area. A very high speed video camera will retake the test, in case of fire, the test area is equipped with a hydrant. Lucas, report. " *Test area alarm sounds* Lucas (gun operator): "all systems are online and fully functional, have already started recording, the sensors in the tank are operational and the weapon is loaded with the correct tandem bullet. Countdown starts: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 .. ". P12A3 "Wolverine" ERA Test at Catway Proving Ground by Jordan Parmegiani, su Flickr Lucas (gun operator): "3, 2, 1.. Fire!" *Boom!* *The smoke dissipates* P12A3 "Wolverine" ERA Test at Catway Proving Ground by Jordan Parmegiani, su Flickr Lucas (gun operator): "the sensors indicate that the impact has occurred, that the ERA plates have exploded correctly. There was no penetration, the hull is intact, the damage has remained isolated to the impact area. Not even the sensors under the tracks signaled distortions or damages, it can be said definitively that the P12A3 survived ". Director Pauli: "clean work. These new ERAs are ready to be equipped on our tanks. But we currently have a limited supply, it's a problem. " Gen. Tress: "good job! We begin to equip our P12A3s with the ADAMANT, for the other tanks the mass production of the new ERAs can already be said to have started. Now the deployment can begin!".

  5. Perfect. A last question. You said that the island is protected by a naval fleet, including submarine, and by advanced anti-aircraft, I imagine that we must overcome these defenses before we can begin operations on the ground, right?
  6. Is it possible to edit a photo by adding a HUD as if it were an aerial shot?
  7. The newly elected president Samina Scrool has decided to speak to the nation on current and very important issues concerning the future of the nation of Plighia. The speech is broadcast to unified networks throughout Plighia and seen worldwide. GBW President Samina Speech by Jordan Parmegiani, su Flickr "Citizens, due to the international crisis that has been taking place in recent months, our nation is endangered by the game of enemy alliances. The recent invasion of Burke Atoll could be considered the antechamber of a larger and more generalized conflict. My predecessors decided to undertake long-term projects to ensure the safety of our country, but it is not enough. Thanks to the recent trade in lithium and thallium, of which we discovered our territory is rich in it, the state coffers are never so full. I decided to promote a new and more profound army reform and further finance and complete all past projects, so that our nation does not find itself unprepared in case of a degeneration of the international situation. We are at a turning point in this world, the future has never been so uncertain, I ask you for responsibility and to do your part. I'll do all is in my ability to defend Plighia and its inhabitants. Our spirit is unshakable, our determination is iron, we are not afraid of anyone and we are ready for sacrifice! Long live Plighia! "
  8. Hi comrades! Cpt. Gabriel Parm of the third "Rats" division of the Plighia army to report! Me by Jordan Parmegiani, su Flickr First of three brothers, he grew up in a high-class bourgeois family from Plighia. He has always stood out for his determination and his courage in facing difficulties. Upon the death of his beloved father, the family inherited an immense fortune, but the young man's adventurous character led him to choose a completely different path. While his brothers are dedicated to the humanities, Gabriel, bored with social and his repetitive life without major stimuli, finally decides to join the national army, also to test himself and overcome its limits, where he stands out as an excellent soldier. At the outbreak of international tensions, he came to command his team of the "Rats", the division for asymmetric conflicts of the army. He has no regrets of the choice made. Long live Plighia!
  9. The VY-48A "Avenger" is a stealth, tailless jet-powered blended-wing-body UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle) with integrated fuselage, capable of operating on aircraft carriers and performing combat missions. It’s an aircraft capable of semi-autonomous operation and aerial refueling. The "Avenger" is equipped with the latest dronic technologies in the world, which make it capable of operating in any condition, and of completing a range of different operations: from aerial surveillance, to bombing missions, from patrol and escort missions and operate as a real jet fighter in attack or defense missions. The “Avenger” is able to reach supersonic speed (1.1 Mach), thanks to its two powerful jet engines, and to carry a payload of 4500 kg. Its development is a consequence of the government's decision to promote a modernization of the national army, especially after the launch of the first aircraft carrier in the history of the navy, the LNC-01 "Gold Lion". This model was inspired by the American UCAV X47B.
  10. Very interesting, looking very promising! As soon as they ease the lockdown in my country, and reopen the stores, I will try to find these materials.
  11. I am not very impressed with the new Lego City passenger jet, although they have finally improved the cockpit and added the bathroom. It will also be a matter of priority, but I think it is risky to choose to place side by side a cargo jet with a passenger jet. I think many who want to get their hands on it, will have to buy a couple of this set, in order to transform it into a pure passenger jet, or vice versa, if they want a pure cargo jet.
  12. Thank you too! It was quite intricate to succeed in this endeavor, fortunately the proportion I adopted (width of 8 stud) allowed me to concentrate only on the verticality of the cabin, rather than also on how to organize the space horizontally. I looked for the best pieces I had to get as much space as possible, and finding a red 1x6x3 windscreen was decisive!
  13. Thank you! I know, with larger wheels it would have been even more realistic, but I simply didn't have the necessary parts. This does not mean that it will remain as it is, indeed certainly, as soon as I can, I will modify it. Thank you too!There is always room for improvement in everything, I am happy to accept your advice so that I can improve further! I will definitely take a look at your creations!
  14. That's cool! I would like to know if there is any low-cost, easy-to-implement technique or method for making a sniper ghillie.
  15. Hy guys! Today I go out of my ordinary schemes and publish this creation in City Fire theme, I hope you like it! This is the ladder 04 of the firefighters of the northeast Lego City district. is a model inspired by American fire trucks, in this case it is a TMC (Technic Motor Company) model "Kraken" Mk. IV. In spite of the previous models, almost every aspect of the truck has been improved. It is now able to carry a greater load (improved suspension and chassis), a larger team (passenger compartment made larger and more functional), and to move faster (new supercharged engine). The functions have remained identical from the previous model. The cockpit has on-board computer with GPS and radio, compartments for storing tools of immediate necessity, and 5 seats. The main functions of this model include 3 extendable fire hoses (one on one side, one on the back, one on the roof), with the possibility of extension from the control panel. The control panel is bilateral, and has three inlets for water from the hydrants (one on each side plus one on the front), and three outputs for the hoses (one on each side plus one on the front). It also has an outlet for hydraulic and pneumatic systems, necessary to power some work tools. The truck has a powerful directional lighting system. Finally, the main function is the ladder, which consists of 5 extendable segments for a maximum height of 60 meters, at the end of the ladder there is an articulated basket, which has a water cannon that can be connected to a hose. The firefighters team that works with this truck can count on a wide assortment of tools and equipment of various kinds: box for tools, accepts, wire cutters, a multi-purpose pneumatic tool (pliers, retractor, hammer, chainsaw), pickaxe and shovel, fire extinguishers, medikit, torch, thermal binoculars, air cylinders and masks, warning cones, circular saw, crowbar, hose for attachment to hydrants, megaphone, life jackets, an additional ladder, and an emergency generator. All housed in 11 compartments across the truck.
  16. The ISUV is a remotely controlled unmanned all-wheel drive land vehicle designed to assist ground infantry operations. Equipped with a powerful 450 HP diesel engine, it has been designed to operate on almost any combat terrain, it is equipped with advanced systems for attack, defense and support. It's a compact, light, fast and agile vehicle, but not less protected and armed, in fact it has unique features such as a TROPHY active protection system on the sides, Gunshot Detection System, Laser Warning System and various smoke dischargers. As attack systems, it has a 20mm cannon controlled equally remotely, and two missile launcher slots capable of firing a wide range of missiles for every need. Finally, the ISUV has several compartments to house ammunition and equipment reserve.
  17. Really a nice model, in agreement with what has been said above, try to make other WWII models not only land-based but also air and naval, in my opinion you would be able to build very interesting things.
  18. The Scout UCAV "Punisher" is a unmanned autonomous helicopter developed for the army, is designed to provide reconnaissance, situational awarness, aerial fire support and precision targeting support for ground, air and sea forces. This model is inspired by US MQ-8 Fire Scout. This model features a four-blade main rotor, to reduce noise and improve lift capacity and performance. The Scout Punisher is fitted with stub wings which serve both an aerodynamic purpose as well as an armament carriage location, such as missiles and miniguns. The Scout Punisher is equipped also with high advanced sensors, radar, weapons systems and detection systems.
  19. Thank you! Always kind! I'm at work at other drone aircrafts actually, one of these is far more challenging and complex for me than this. You will see!
  20. The "Stalker" UCAV is a latest generation combat drone designed to operate in any environmental condition and effectively support military air and ground operations. It was developed to meet the needs that see the increasingly massive use of technologies capable of ensuring domination of the battlefield, limiting human and resource losses as much as possible. The "Stalker" UCAV has an extremely efficient jet engine which guarantees a large autonomy, even if its deployment is limited only by land bases. It also has a powerful broad-spectrum radar capable of detecting threats even before they can approach to constitute a real danger. It has a wide range of sensors on the entire fuselage and muzzle, which can identify, locate, intercept, study, and retrieve information on threats from the battlefield below and from all around the aircraft at 360 degrees. Finally, this UCAV is equipped with sophisticated armaments, such as advanced air-to-air, air-to-ground, anti-vehicle missiles, bunkerbusters and cluster devices, plus a 20 mm cannon on the muzzle with a limited supply of explosive shots. The "Stalker" can operate remotely controlled by an operator, or is able to perform reconnaissance missions in a completely autonomous way thanks to its advanced artificial intelligence (obviously limited and unable to operate attacks against threats of its own will). This model was inspired by the UAV killstreak from the latest Call of Duty Modern Warfare videogame.
  21. Thank you! I was impressed with how your country managed to develop a new generation tank so quickly and achieve such a good result. It seemed trivial to limit myself to the basic model only
  22. Thank you too! It was not easy to have to imagine how the chassis was made from the model I was inspired by and influenced me, and the ideal joints that could make such a model. I am very satisfied with the result. In hindsight I could add and improve it more, but alas I don't have unlimited resources.
  23. Thank you! I tried in my model to make the turret more realistic than the Brickmania model, such as the use of the black slopes for the sensors of the Afghanit system, and the use of the black rollers for the launchers of the aforementioned system, all this while keeping the original design (with other minimal changes). Then I tried to build an engine that reflected the original one of the real tank. In spite of my other tanks, in this and my previous one I opted for 2 stud wide tracks, always for a question of greater realism and respect for the original proportions.
