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.

Just a quick update to replace the old M35 pattern on my Soviet figs. I even remembered to include guard badges this time!
(Also- neck decals are a pain in the ass to apply)
A friend of mine is working on a WW2 era film and these are two of the characters.

Now abandoned, the bombastic and literally brazen relief for the technical college, dedicated in 1976, frames a gilded central figure of Ikaros—a curious symbol often used in Soviet aviation and space exploration. Intact but for the hammer and sickle once framed by the wings.
1960 Zorki 4 with Jupiter-8 pose for some more Sunday morning camera porn. I just disassembled and cleaned/relubed the Jupiter which now focuses like buttuh.
I liked the idea of the real world fighter contest, so I thought I would try to come up with something. Note that this isn't an actual entry (no digital entries allowed). I wanted to do a Soviet craft from the cold war era. See the other image for a explanation of how it works

The Motherland Monument is a monumental statue in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.
The stainless steel statue stands 62 m (203 ft) tall upon the museum main building with the overall structure measuring 102 m (335 ft) including its base and weighing 560 tons. The sword in the statue's right hand is 16 m (52 ft) long weighing 9 tons, with the left hand holding up a 13 by 8 m (43 by 26 ft) shield with the State Emblem of the Soviet Union.
the 1950s, a plan circulated of building on the spot of the current statue twin monuments of Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin, nearly 200 m (660 ft) tall each.[6] However, this did not go ahead. Instead, according to legend, in the 1970s, a shipload of Communist Party officials and Soviet sculptor Yevgeny Vuchetich looked across at the hills by the Lavra and decided the panorama needed a war memorial. Vuchetich had designed the other two most famous giant Soviet war memorials, The Motherland Calls in Volgograd and the Soviet soldier carrying German infant constructed after the war in East Berlin. However, Vuchetich died in 1974, and the design of the memorial was afterwards substantially reworked and completed under the guidance of Vasyl Borodai.
Final plans for the statue were made in 1978, with construction beginning in 1979. It was controversial, many criticised the costs involved and claimed the funds could have been better spent elsewhere. When director of construction Ivan Petrovich was asked to confirm the costs of 9 million rubles, he responded that this was a conservative estimate. The statue was opened in 1981 in a ceremony attended by Soviet president Leonid Brezhnev.
In modern-day Kiev, the statue remains controversial, with some claiming it should be pulled down and its metal used for more functional purposes. Financial shortages mean that the flame, which uses up to 400 m3 (14,000 cu ft) of gas per hour, can only burn on the biggest national holidays, and rumours persist that the statue is built on unstable foundations, something strongly denied by the Kiev local government.[7][8]
In April 2015, the parliament of Ukraine outlawed Soviet and Communist symbols, street names and monuments, in a decommunization attempt.[9] But World War II monuments are excluded from these laws.[10] Director of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance Volodymyr Viatrovych stated in February 2018 that the state emblem of the Soviet Union on the shield of the monument should be removed according to the decommunization laws

Soviet military equipment abandoned by retreating Ethiopian troops in 1991 can still be seen along many roads in northern Eritrea. This tank is just east of Keren.
