That container port did my eyes in  :blink: Must have been a nightmare to build...great work though.

Nils, that U-Boat and sinking freighter is a fantastic find

Love the 55 gallon size paint cans.

Love it.  Interestingly enough, I just rewatched Operation Petticoat this afternoon.  Still a very funny movie.

Surely they're 44 (real) gallons?  ;)

Some fantastic finds there, especially enjoying those maritime dios.  I've just been watching Das Boot, so the sunk freighter is quite a poignant one.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Not so much a diorama, but an excellent idea for presenting the model:




More, including the story behind it here.

The F-14 reminds me of a mock dog fight over the North Sea with a Nimrod back in the late eighties.
The Nimrod came back with bent wings, the Captian demoted.
The Squadron Leader was heard to say, " an F-14 can't make a toasted bacon sandwich at 20,000ft!"

Note: the toilet is at the front end of the Nimrod. The rear has the kitchen and sonorbouys.

Hmmm...

Sounds a bit like the story of a Nimrod heading over to the States that was escorted in by a couple of F-16s. The F-16 jocks had the usual disregard for heavies, so they did a few aerobatics, made a few dummy attack runs at it, that sort of thing.

"Very impressive," said the Nimrod pilot, "but I bet I can do something you can't do: watch this."

The Nimrod then flew on straight and level for ten minutes, to the puzzlement of the fighter jocks.

"How about that then?" said the Nimrod pilot eventually.

"How about what?" replied the F-16 leader, "What did you do?"

"Oh didn't you see?" replied the Nimrod pilot, " I went down the back for a good sh*t, then made myself a steak sandwich...."

;D :thumbsup:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Don't think we have flagged this guy before.  Includes a couple of sci-fi dioramas (which I posted in the Found Sci Fi thread).
