Spy subs

Unmanned spy subs.  An interesting concept. hiding boomers will get much more difficult in the coming years.

I hate vacform canopies

Maybe this article will help.

Takom V-2

A very nice build of the Takom V-2 kit.

A helicopter on Mars

The best explanation of fatherhood ever put on film.
