Unbearable!

Two Russian bears meet....a salute and grunt and they both go about their business

Really nice, and the photography is very atmospheric!

I see this and immediately think of a movie, know there was no bear (the mammal) in it, but "The Beast" is a film worth seeing, probably not for date-night though.

Thank you Edbert, I am very familiar with that movie, my sons practically grew up on it, along with "Quest for fire" "Alien" "The Thing" etc...
But the "The Beast" was their favorite by far. Saterday mornings were for cerial and those three movies on VCR tape.
The tank in the movie was a T62.

Another great vignette! We might say that animals are 'ignorant' of the 'morality' that often fuels our wars; we should reconsider that assertion.

The diorama puts me in mind of a documentary about wolves in Germany I watched a few years ago. There are plenty living on Bundeswehr training areas, and it was very funny seeing them going about their business in open areas in the forest as if there weren't Leopard 2 tanks and Marder MICVs driving around in the background. But the wolves are used to those vehicles, so they don't really care as long as they don't get too close.

I can almost hear the bear thinking, "What the heck are you?"

 

[Jakko]

No, he's thinking, "There's that tank we were going to take a look at. Now where has the benevolent leader of our peace-loving nation gone off to?"

Raise my rent. That's included in the kit?
I thought you were playing, Jakko.
That's funny.

Apparently, it came with this special edition kit. And it's not even unique:



They're apparently based on this:
