ACS-1 Mig Clock
"The ACS-1 aircraft clock is one of the most fascinating clocks I have found, not only because of its military application, but also because of its complications.
It was made for the fastest and highest-flying Soviet/Russian fighter jet planes (such as MiG-23, MiG-25, MiG-29 and Su-27), original Russian Air Force issue, and produced by Molnija, Мопния, (Chelyabinsk Watch Factory), in Chelyabinsk, Челябинск, east of the Ural Mountains, about 1500 km. east of Moscow.
It has a timer and a seconds chronograph. The top dial shows the number of hours and minutes that, for example, the pilot has been in flight. The bottom dial shows the minutes and seconds elapsed, in a separate and independent stopwatch. I found the first two photos on the internet. The first photo shows where the clock was mounted in the aircraft."

Raketa "Big Zero" (Originally designed for visually impaired people)
Brand : Raketa ("Rocket")
Petrodvorets Watch Factory* (Leningrad / Saint Petersburg)
Model: Big Zero
Year: Middle 80'
Caliber: 2609.HA, hand-wound, 19 jewels
Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev wore a Big Zero, and on one occasion, when asked by Italian journalists what "perestroika" meant for Russia, he said that Russians wanted to start their lives from zero, and showed them the watch to illustrate his point.
The next day his photographs appeared on the papers with caption like, "The Russians are starting all over again from zero!"

This year I made a total of 6 Soviet Planes and Helicopters.
It was quite fun to make them and I learned a lot building them; for example I stopped using LEGO windscreens and instead used brick built canopies.
This however limits the room available for a minifig inside but it´s more accurate and sturdy. I also continue to use heavy quantities of Curved Slopes, those parts are awesome to achieve the correct shape of those planes.
I already have an idea for next year Plane Collection Display. We shall see what I will make
To watch more pictures of the planes above, please visit my Flickr page:

Decided to draw one of the Soviet Infantry men from my Second Battle of Kharkov animation. Hope you like him 😊
A photo from October 1983. I had been walking along Smolenskaya Naberezhnaya Street by the Moskva River and had just taken a photo of the British Embassy. That was a dodgy thing to do at the time: it was still the Communist USSR - and there were strict restrictions on what one could photograph.
I was putting my camera back in its bag when I heard a shout and saw a soldier beckoning me from a nearby truck. I was convinced I was going to end up in the infamous Lubyanka prison for flouting the rules! It was with some trepidation therefore that I approached. However, I needn't have worried. The soldier - the one with his hands on the tailgate in the shot - said in halting English: "You take our photo!". Whereupon he and his colleagues grinned for the camera and I clicked the shutter.
I've often wondered what became of them. Possibly sent to Afghanistan (the USSR invaded in 1979 and the war lasted until 1989 when the Soviets withdrew). If so, it is probable that many of them died there.
Note: the CA lettering on their uniforms stands for Soviet Army (Sovetskaya Armiya) - the Cyrillic CA is SA in the Latin alphabet. The MHФ letters on the tailgate translate to MNF. Multi National Force? That would make sense given the different ethnicities in the group.
Remnants of a copper processing facility at Alaverdi, Armenia. Much of the valley floor here is littered with abandoned buildings and infrastructure from the Soviet era.
The gym in a large hidden soviet military faciliy in the German woods. It was once so secret that even Germans didnt know it existed, and in a period nuclear weapons where stored in a bunker here.

Nothing reflects the change in Soviet Air Force requirements and design philosophies better than comparing the Foxbat and the Fulcrum. Where the massive Foxbat was built for outright speed, the tiny Fulcrum was built for maneuverability. Thanks to everyone for commenting on and supporting this long post. Also, thanks to Wikipedia, Global Security, and Military Factory for the information and specifications.

The Antonov AN-2 was the first of the Antonov Bureau's designs. Designed to meet a 1947 Soviet requirement for a replacement for the Polikarpov Po-2 which was used in large numbers as both an agricultural aircraft and a utility aircraft.
You know what I'm somewhat tired of? The image of mermaids & mermen being all naturalistic and primitive, with their seashell bras and coral tridents and what have you.
Where's the cultural diversity? The sense of technological advancement and reckless imperialism? The MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX?
Granted, I'm sure this is far from an original idea, but I like my adaptation nonetheless.
My Lego Soviet era vehicle collection as of October 2023!
From left to right:
- Gaz 24 Volga police car
- Gaz TIGR military jeep
- Gaz 66 military truck
- Maz 537 tank transporter
- Kamaz 55102 civilian truck
- Mil mi-8 helicopter
- Mig 21 fighter jet
It's important to note that the Mil mi-8 an Mig 21 are 100% design by eat_toaster on instagram. For his instructions you can check out his rebrickable as well.
All the other models are completely my own design and in 1:45. I hope to continue expanding the collection, with some more tracked vehicles and aviation models.

The military complex was built by the germans and controlled by the Wehrmacht between 1937-1945, after the war it was used by Soviet troops until 1992, abandoned since `92
