Ok I’m reliably informed it is in fact Friday today. This week has been weird. Anyway the theme today is…damaged. So let’s see broken things. As usual I’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it! #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

A crashed epic scale xiphon interceptor. There’s a lot of damage. The pilot has escaped the wreck and is stalking away gun raised

Mini of the month - Tanks for the memories Entry 6 by @tammi.bsky.social Mr Rumbles, Hero of the Revolution!! And Keiko! #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

A close-up glamour shot of the gloriously pink Hero of the Revolution, Mr Rumbles, an armoured fighting vehicle with all-terrain tracks, extra armour, a large calibre heavy machine gun and cute little ears welded to his turret. His green sensor lens is bright, like his future, and he proudly wears the number 4 of his former unit - 4 The Revolution! Blurred by distance behind him is Keiko, pointing the way.

Among the rubble and ruins, Mr Rumbles, machine gun pointing up and forward, is alert and ready to follow the mission of his friend and companion at his side, Keiko! She has her arm out, showing the way, and looks fabulous in her pink jumpsuit that matches Mr Rumbles' armour plating! She carries a sub-machine gun and wears ear defenders with extra cat ears, just like her robot buddy! You guessed it, it was Keiko that welded those ears onto the turret of the broken AFV-4 and named him Mr Rumbles after she reactivated him.

A sad Mr Rumbles tilts his turret down as he realises the mission involves yet more death and destruction. Sure, he's a top-of-the-range armoured fighting vehicle, he was built for this, and Keiko seems happy when he's all BLAM-BA-BLAM-BA-BLAM and turning the Bad Guys into meat chunks, but isn't there more to life? Keiko hasn't even noticed he's sad.
Oh well.

A top-down view as Mr Rumbles and Keiko advance through the rubble heading to victory.

Mini of the month - Tanks for the memories Entry 13 by @baldygnome.bsky.social Junk gravtank #Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth

A boxy blue coloured flying vehicle. 70s inspired raygun cannon on top, and a pair of chunky propulsion units on the side

Back of the junk gravtank. There's kind of a bulkhead door and some random lights on the panel above it. Man this thing is really cobbled together is really doesn't look safe at all. It's emissions porbably far exceed most planetary enviornmental regulations

Side view of same vehicle. Pink glow from propulsion units and ray gun is a bit moe obvious in this one

Here it is unpainted. An astute oberver may be able to pick out some of the components that made it. These include in no paticular order a modem, portable minidisc player, soap dispener, some roll on deo applicatiors, and old bicycle lamp, various rubber washers and some googly eyes. In the fashion of George's Marvellous medicine I can't actually remember everything that went into it

"The front right view of a Grot tank painted in the Blue and white colors of the Deathskulls klan of Orks. Visible weld marks are present along the main gun and a scavenged red barrel that houses a number of exhaust stacks, rivets securing a number of extra armor plates, field repairs, and decorative "teef". Looted guard equipment is hanging from the tank's turret, and a skull is mounted at the top of the tanks antenna. The tank treads are caked in orange red dust kicked up from the environment."

When Lucy from Compass Books in Dartmouth, Devon, was victim to shoplifting people told her to install CCTV. Instead she put this ancient book thief curse on the wall from the Monastery of San Pedro in Barcelona so book stealers would be consumed by "the flames of hell" with "their members blasted".

A Curse Against Stealers Of Books
For him that
stealth a book from
this place, let it
change into a
serpent in his hand
and rend him.
Let him be struck with
palsy,
& all his members
blasted.
Let him languish in
pain crying aloud for
mercy, & let there be be no surcease to his
agony till he sink to
dissolution.
Let bookworms gnaw
his entrails in token of
the Worm that diets not,
& when at last he
goeth to his final
punishment, let the
flames of
hell consume him
forever & aye.
(Monastery Of San Pedro, Barcelona.)

In 1994 when they were taking off but by no means massive or wielding any influence within the music industry, Green Day took gay punk band Pansy Division on tour with them. People were very vocally homophobic back then (in England, section 28 was still very much in force - not repealed until 2003!)

What makes this obscene is the building Trump's threatening to demolish if he doesn't get his way, is a *memorial* to a loved president who served his country and was assassinated while in office (two things Donald is yet to accomplish). It is like Trump threatening to jackhammer JFK's gravestone.
