I am always game to take a browse through a photo gallery capturing the remains of the Soviet space program but this quick repository of the
Buran wind tunnel model really caught my eye. You can read a bit more about it
here but I think the
photos themselves tell the story quite well - a neglected and decaying wooden model left to suffer the elements. The wooden texture on an object, ultimately*, intended for space is such a delightful treat for the eyes.
* no, this 1:3 scale model wasn't intended for space but you know what I mean!
