Russian DELTA IV SSBN
K-407 Once commanded by my friend Igor Kurdin. Igor was also on board the ill fated Yankee Class SSBN K-219. That submarine suffered a leak in one of the missiles liquid propellant which resulted in an explosion. The boat later sank after the crew was removed.
This model is from OKB in 1/700 scale. The launch of the SSN-6 SLBM is simulated with Flashing LEDs

Russian VICTOR III 1/350 Scale
Based on the kit from HOBBY BOSS. I added photo etched parts and I made my own decals on the sail. This submarine suffered a fire in recent years that claimed the lives of two of her crew. She has since been refitted and is one of the only remaining VICTOR III class left in service.

Stove by a Whale! Sinking of the ESSEX 1820
This was made from a broken model of the little Academy Whale ship. The base is two inches round. I made my own photo etch parts for this as a test. The work here is my second in a series of whaling ship dioramas.

Surprise Box
Three tiny models used to create a unique box. Models are of maple, bass, steel, and brass. Nameplates are my own photo etch as is the US Submarine insignia.
The submarine is of the 637 class attack submarine. I served on USS RAY SSN 653 of the same class. The ship is a Bermuda sloop. I hope you enjoy this. It took 18 hours of build time.
