“Music Box’s Day Out”!

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end
At one point, cans of petrol being carried on Musical Box's roof were ruptured by small-arms fire and fuel leaked into the cabin; the crew had to don gas masks to survive the fumes. Eventually, a German shell disabled it and as the crew abandoned the tank, one of them was shot and killed and the other two were taken prisoner.

During this battle, one Whippet – Musical Box – advanced so far it was cut off behind German lines. For nine hours it roamed at will, destroying an artillery battery, an observation balloon, the camp of an infantry battalion and a transport column of the German 225th Division, inflicting many casualties.

A robotic Soldier for my #SpaceStationZero crew
A miniature robot that appears to have been built from a variety of mismatched parts. It hovers (it’s attached to the base with a black wire), and it has a long antenna on its back. Its right arm is some sort of industrial grabber, and the orange paint is peeling off. Its left arm is a large machine gun. The robot has one large eye on top.

WIP of a scientist for my #SpaceStationZero crew
A partially painted miniature of a Black woman with an afro hairstyle. She’s wearing a red coat and tan pants. In one hand she’s holding a briefcase and in the other a pistol. The most completed part of the miniature is the face, which has eyes and pupils painted on in very small detail.

He’s done!
A miniature of an alien doctor. He’s wearing blue medical gloves and a blue medical mask, and a dark blue tunic over brown pants. His pants are stained with dried blood. He’s holding and reading a metallic tablet. The miniature is based to look like it has dried earth. The alien’s skin is a mottled gray color. A miniature of an alien doctor.

I’m very amused by this Star Wars podracing-themed word search that feels the need to explain Sebulba, and only Sebulba
A word search word bank titled “Podracing.” It includes a variety of names and concepts, including Dangerous, Ben Quadinaros, Tattooine, Boonta Eve, etc. Of all these words, it only feels the need to explain Sebulba, including a parenthetical that he’s a “rival racer.”

Battlefield: Oceans
A still from Master and Commander: Far Side of the World (2003), showing Russell Crowe's character Jack Aubrey standing in the foreground, his ship HMS Surprise in the background. It has been recolored to be more blue and gray, and cropped and rotated to emulate the infamous use of canted angles in Battlefield: Earth (2000).

I put @sydneythiessen.bsky.social’s brain on a shirt
A white man in his early 30s stands smiling with his hands on his hips. He’s wearing a white t-shirt, on which is printed a black and white image of an MRI brain scan.

This is such a stupid joke
A Blu-ray cover for a combined set of the movies Sharpe's Rifles and Sharpe's Eagle, starring Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe, a British soldier fighting in the Napoleonic Wars. It's been crudely edited to give Sean Bean the hair from the Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes guy, and so that Sean Bean is holding the magnetic rifle from X-Com 2.

Got a picture of it going into the nest!
A curved cable cover thing attached to a power line pole. A starling is landing from flight, going into a gap connecting to the inside of the cover, where it has built a nest

It’s still on the same flower, a day later! A flower crab spider, they’re ambush predators that don’t rely on webs for hunting. Apparently their color can shift to match their surroundings, providing better camouflage

How it looked when it started vs how it looks today, a week later. I’m gonna give it another week, I think, but it smells like sauerkraut now!
Freshly prepped sauerkraut. At this point, it’s just chopped cabbage in brine. It’s still very green. The same sauerkraut, a week later. It has turned a yellow-green
