Its been a long road, but its done today: Soviet moon rocket N1-L3 on transporter/erector 'grashopper' Lego MOC at 1:110. Now I 'just' need to redo the digital models, so that I can do the instructions. Expect them not before the year is over.

In France, a protest is a friendly reminder that power rests with the people and we will chop of your head if you do not do what you were elected to. In the US, its a petition contest for the wittiest meme. Might as well post on reddit.

The logistics on how people move around in this make no sense. They do not have to, its a TV series, but which elements of a city like this are shown and which are left out or only implied by logic says a lot about this version of a future from 'a long time ago'.

I presume several master-level thesis are already in preparation examining the architectural language of american imperialism or democratic futurism (depending on your persuasion) as depicted in 'Andor'. Even though we mostly see the senate and never the imperial palace.

I love how in Coruscant's vast cityscapes public transport is only hinted at, but never used. A world like that would require many levels of public transport: elevators, trains, etc. Instead, the characters either fly in private transports - or walk. And walk. Clearly Disney does not take the bus.

The club caring for the Feste sells a series of books on the place which I highly recommend, but most of all.I can only encourage anyone interested in modern military history to stop by - its half an hour from Strassbourg and absolutely stunning. And of course you are in France! 10/10

The resulting explosion not only broke windows from here to Strassbourg, but blew a 4 meter breach into the bunker wall. The Germans surrendered to the 3rd U.S. division the next day, Dec. 5th 1944. 8/10

The armaments and guns of the Feste had been all but stripped away when in '44 some 80 Germans holed up in the bunkers. They held out despite an intense bombardment by Long Toms and got finally dislogged by US engineers loading a halftrack with 4 t of explosives and parking it next to the fort 7/10

The four 10 cm cannons of Batterie 1 could rotate 360° and fire 8-10 rounds each per minute to a distance of more than 10km. On August 18th the battery supported the German counterattack against the French 13th Div., which has moved up the Breusch valley. Within 30 mins, it fired 291 rounds 5/10

After a decade of planning, construction started in earnest in 1894. With a circumference of 6 km and covering 250 acres, providing space for up to 7000 soldiers and 20 armored guns, the Feste Wilhelm II. in 1914 was one of the largest and most modern fortress buildings in the world. 2/10

The "Feste Kaiser Wilhelm II." near Mutzig in Elsaß, barring the road west of Strassburg and into the Reich, is one of the best-preserved pre-1914 fortifications of Europe. Its construction history spanning three decades shows the rapid changes in siege warfare technology from 1890-1914. 1/10

This is from the 'Airwar 2" from Osprey, their second book 'under the southern cross' does not seem to have a lot of OOB info, but I need to look at that again. Have you had a look at Bruce Gamble Rabaul trilogy?
