These were the very first attempts to make a "secret vessel" in Russia in 1721-1724. I hope Google Translator will help you read the Russian text. Russian Wikipedia This is a life-size model installed at the site of the first tests in 1721. On the stone is written the testing of the "hidden vessel" by Yefim Nikonov in the presence of Tsar Peter the Great. 1721.

A blanket, a bucket for wine... We are all looking forward to the appearance of a beautiful lady whom the tankers met on the side of the road...

It is a great pleasure to look at this work!

Fantastic detail !

Thanks! It is very interesting.

Great composition! Submarine, beach, water, everything is fine! One question - tell the story, how did the submarine end up on the shore? Is this an emergency or something else?

I don't come here often. I see progress. Everything is going well so far.

Their names are: Pink Nose, Gray Nose, Stooped, Gray Fool, Novice, Shaggy. Now there are three kittens, they have no names yet, but they all have different characters.

This gang fights and disputes only in the spring, when the time of love comes. And now they stick together. When it's -25C outside, sleeping snuggled up to each other is warmer. And coming from the forest to the fox, it is easier to resist the group. Here's an old photo, when I haven't built them a house yet.

Thank you, Kingsman. I know it's a reel of telephone cable. English is not my native language and in the MENG assembly instructions it was written "winch" (pictured above), so I wrote winch. 🙂 My question was whether these reels were installed in 1988 on the tanks of this unit that I am building. I could not find photos of tanks with such reels at that time

I get great pleasure watching such a beautiful assembly made of natural materials - wood, metal. There is a soul in such building.

I am building Leopard 2 A4, 4th Company of the 33rd Panzer Battalion of the German Federal Armed Forces, Luttmersen 1988. The assembly instructions offer two options - to install a winch or other part on the turret. The question is, were winches installed on the tanks of this battalion in 1988?

- Finally, a man gave us something to eat.

Great job. I just don't have the words anymore. I watch in silence with awe. Such dimensions of the propellers in relation to the body are surprising. The stern is narrow, it's strange that they didn't suck in air and there was no cavitation.

Now it looks like this.

Oh, yes! I posted photos on Pinterest.com , everything was fine. But now they have changed the interface and presentation of images, as well as codes for photos. I felt uncomfortable. Trying to switch to Flickr.com . It's also not very simple, but it seems to have worked out. Why do they make everything so difficult for ordinary people? It is necessary that the directors of all IT companies are old hard-hearing, hard-seeing people with sclerosis and Alzheimer's. Then the interfaces of all programs will be friendly to people.

I'm assembling the gun rotation mechanism. Here is his diagram in the manual. And again, poly caps are required, which were not included. But I have already solved this problem. This is how it looks assembled. Homemade poly caps. In order for the gun not to fall down from its gravity, it is necessary to increase the friction on the axis. To do this, I cut the pads out of sandpaper. With their help, the gun should be held better. Glued periscopes. The instruction from MENG suggests painting them blue. I have never seen periscopes and other optics blue. They are usually black or have a glass sheen.

Since everyone here loves cats, I'll tell you my story. My wife and I love cats very much and would have had a cat for a long time, but we are allergic to animals. About 5 years ago, we built ourselves a country house. And wild cats live here. We began to feed them. Gradually they got used to it and began to consider our site their own. But they were not given in hand. We got to know everyone's character and gave everyone names. When winter came, I made them a house with warm bedding. We are forced not to let them into our house, but now we have cats, which we are very happy about. The most important one began to allow himself to be stroked. Three very cute kittens have recently appeared. We are happy with this gang!

This cutie holds the whole village. He's the coolest guy here. Looks after the order, fights drives away strangers. The smartest of all the local cats.

I have good news for you. I found a photo where the bars on the Leopard are installed "correctly"! 🙂 This tank is a bit unusual, it has an extended exhaust system. Maybe the conclusions I made earlier were wrong.🙄

Yes, I said something stupid... 🙄

Have you decided not to make a curved slot in the rudder bracket? Be sure to warn the captain about this! After all, he will have to maneuver only by changing the speed of the propellers.

I also think that a lot of what we are interested in now has been embedded in us since childhood. We boys always played war, because at that time, it was still close - there were people around who fought, we watched movies about the war. There was very little other entertainment. And we tried to play something that was not available to us. It seems to me that even now, as adults, we are playing modeling. And we prefer to model what is not available to us in our daily life. As a child, I loved playing with cars. Now I can buy myself any car I want, it has ceased to be a dream. I'm not going to glue car models together. But military equipment is not available to me and arouses interest. This is like one of the versions. 🙂

The guy inspects the new cannon for Leopard 2 with great interest.
