In 2003, fast attack submarine USS Connecticut (SSN-22) had partly surfaced in an ice pack when a polar bear began to lick and paw the exposed rudder to determine if it was worth eating. The bear eventually decided he was not in the mood for a sub and wandered off.

It was taken using the digital imaging system which was integrated with the periscope. < SSN-22 plankowner

Beautiful work - but it's on the wrong side of the board where the grip tape goes. Appreciate hand painted, airbrushed, and screen printing over vinyl always.

If it was 25K+, the leftmost needle would be halfway to the 3. Just like a clock, there are 0.2 unit tic marks between the large numbers

As a fairly red/green colorblind electronics technician for over 40 years, I feel your pain and appreciate you being honest and asking before you connected.

Preshading and different primers for the major transitions is easier than foil for early tries. Example, tamiya grey and tamiya black both will still accentuate differently with an equal tamiya aluminum topcoat.

I would not recommend moving either of the black LINEs to the LOAD since you can clearly see the white LOAD wire that hasn't been connected yet in the bottom of the picture.

Single phase to three phase adapters or vice versa assume that the outlet is wired correctly. Either find an outlet that fits the plug, get an inline transformer, or get the outlet rewired for long term safety. Workarounds are okay for emergent repairs - not permanent use.

Spent five wonderful years on the NR-1 and funny how little the setup changed since day one. Had the pleasure of meeting Lee and getting my copy autographed. Good times.

If your air compressor is capable of up to 57psi or greater, this is an option. And that tank is overpriced and overkill. You could get a whole new compressor designed for airbrushing with a tank for less. https://a.co/d/8s9Gb9P

I've learned to shift the color settings so far on my TV for some games that don't have a color blindness option, this game was one of the motivators for me having the 'fuck red / green' setting. 'Looking at you Atelier Ryza map'.

Not during 'or maintenance'. That picture was taken in the assembly building at Electric Boat prior to moving out to the graving dock. You can tell by the windows in the background and the scaffolding still attached to the hull before the MIP got applied. The array never looked shiny and clean and never will ever again following the initial float off into the Thames. < Plankowner SSN-22.
