DIY Local Globes
In Russia and other post Soviet countries there were a real craze on independence after they finally got it with USSR collapse. Sometimes this took some weird forms like, for example, making the globes of their own country. Yes, those were just like regular globes we used to see on geography classes but instead the whole world only their own country was mapped on it.
These things were officially on sale and still you can buy something like “the globe of Ukraine” in shops of Kiev.
So then people went further and decided to make the globes of their local cities or even villages. With modern technologies this can be done by practically anyone just in a few minutes and then can be used to amaze the friends and relative. We’ll show you how. As a result we can get such neat globe of your place like on the picture above.
Viral Video of the Week from Internet:
The Eight Wheeler
Eight wheelers could be a good solution for Russian terrain roads and you still can meet some of the concepts from the Soviet past on the roads.
They had a flat bottom and the additional four wheels mounted higher than the first four ones so that in case you get stuck too deep then the new pair of axes get into play towing the car out the deep mud.
For some reason those stayed only in concept mode and like this one bare the old white-on-black plates, those give clue that it comes back from seventies or early eighties, but is still used.
Guys collecting old Soviet transportation relics can pay a lot for one of those, even if it doesn’t come from any popular brand but was made by some garage genius with his hands alone.
The Simpsons Lid
Some Simpsons fans in Russia make those WC lids.
Looks pretty creative.
Russian Haired Sausage
A new dish became extremely popular among some Russian bloggers lately. Now it’s not quite clear who was the first one who invented this mod by pinning some uncooked sausage with hard spaghetti sticks and then boiling this alltogether and getting first “haired sausage” ready.
Then, publishing the outcomes on Internet caused a real wave of interest from many who wanted to try making their own haired frankfurter.
Plane in the House
Sometimes they use the parts of planes in designs of houses etc, but mainly those are detached villas or some sort of bars or cafes like this one Russian plane bar.
Those Russian house owners went even further and attached for some reason a Russian TU jet body to the second floor of the multi stored building.
If that’s an appartment, then just imagine how jealous are the neighbours are now.
The Pipe Makers
Today we have shots from the pipe factory in Russia, it’s always fun to see how the stuff is being made.
The story of each pipe begins with a steel tape roll.
The Ivory Chess
In Russia chess is a very popular game, almost every schoolboy used to know how to play chess since Soviet times when the Russian chess grandmasters like Karpov or Kasparov were rocking the world chess scene.
Since then many years has already passed but still it’s considered a must to have a chess playing set at home. The better looking the board is the better it is, some lucky ones get hand made sets, carved from wood or ivory coast.
Here are works of just one author, mainly from ivory, some of the might look nsfw, but those are just chess pieces.
Russian Terminator
Did you know that initially the terminator robot was built by Soviet soldiers during World War2. The construction operation was held on the secret army base, on the wooden table between Russian tanks. Even back there he already looked like Arnie.
Don’t believe? We have photo report from back then.
The Hundred Dollar Teacher
This grand dad from Ukraine was a teacher for many years and has got multiple proffesional rewards. But recently he got visited by criminal police for some very weird reason: there was some evidence that this respected citizen was making high-class dollar fakes that couldn’t be differed from the original US money even in banks. The only thing that got him busted is the often duplicate bill serial numbers he was making.
A Jet from Cigarette
Having just one empty cig pack like this or of some brand would let you to make a cool modern origami of Russian jet fighter.
