    Well that didn't take long, just couldn't resist it. This is in 1/72 scale.,just about 4 feet long. I've only assembled the hull so far as I don't have the correct paints yet. To be honest I'm not sure where it will live when it's finished but I'm moving house soon so hopefully I'll find the right spot for it. More to follow soon.

The last one was decommissioned in 2010, most were broken up but there is still two moored in a port on the Baltic sea. Famously it was the sub in The Hunt For Red October.
    Next to it is a Russian Akula class attack sub of the same era. They are in the same scale and gives an idea of how big the Typhoon class is.

    Remember the film. Nice work as always. I built a few as a kid, all planes. Those were the days. Simple pleasures

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Finally finished the type 9 U boat, measures just over 3.5 feet long. The detail is very good and required a lot of fiddly painting. I've put my glasses case in the first picture to give an idea of the size.
