Also, over the last two months I began assembling and painting a collection of 1:350 scale submarines. Still got more to go. Pleasant how many 350 scale boats you can get these days, and quite cheaply, even for plastic mould rather than small run resin stuff.

Been a nice thing to do a few times a day during self-imposed screen-breaks.

Got a Flight 1 Los Angeles (USS Dallas) with the DSRV Mystic, Kilo-class, Romeo-class, Gato-class and Type VIIC.

Yet to assemble: Type XXI eletroboot.

More I want to buy: Type 212, Akula, Alfa, Han-class. Maybe some British and French boats too. Have yet to find the two I really want: Oberon-class and Foxtrot-class.

And... may not do a Typhoon, Ohio or Oscar, not for lack of interest but because my display cabinet won't fit them - the bastards are too big.

@stilgherrian Figured you might appreciate it. Amusing thing: the most prolific model kit producers these days are Chinese. Cheapest too, good quality. But they MOSTLY focus on Asian-operated submarines and ships. Fortunately for me, who cares mostly about cold war soviet and american stuff, a LOT of the boats they operated were Soviet-made. So things like the Kilo and the Romeo were easy to buy the Chinese variants of and make the minor changes needed.

@vampiress You also need a bigger display cabinet. ;)
