Can't fool me. Those are rejected Star Wars props.  What's the three barreled one in the bottom left? I'm guessing it had some weird volley fire setup. |

Russians are quite inventive when it comes to weapons and aerospace, and their stuff looks cool from a distance. However, every piece of Russian weaponry, and every Russian aircraft, I've seen up close has looked like dogshit compared to their Western equivalents. Their engineers may be good, but the manufacturing isn't. |

Their engineers may be good, but the manufacturing isn't. The Vostok Amphibia diver's watch is a perfect example. Open one up and you may very well find finger smudges and metal mill shavings stuck in the oil to the case interior like I did in mine. I have often wished that a well known watch house would license Vostok's design and make a high-quality, properly manufactured Amphibia...and it would be fucking awesome. |

Here’s an example from a butterfly, an example that it can be happy on a hard rock. An example that it can lie on this unsweetened stone, friendlessly and all alone. Now let my bed. I do not care.

They aren't all like this, but some of them are just gorgeous. Attached File Attached File Cosmonaut museum and the economic fair from like...1935 or something. Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Old soviet sub just sitting on the city outskirts. Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Tomb of the unknown soldier.

So great a loss can we still be redeemed? When we have failed to sow our father's seeds. For hill and wood, for oak and ash and thorn- for ways of life now gone forever more.
