Is not the Braun Oral-B Triumph toothbrush. Though that is intriguing - it has bluetooth! Now that I have this, all other toothbrushes just seem to hopelessly twen-cen. But no, that's not it.
This is my latest obsession - an insanely detailed model of a cross-section of HMS Victory (1:98 scale).
I just got the kit in the mail today - and opening the box was very intimidating. So many teeny little pieces! I checked some other modellers online blogs about putting it together, and it looks extremely complicated. I can't even start until I acquire a passel of knives, varnishes, adhesives and coatings; fortunately I already have all the paints I need. And because it's a shallow cross-section, it's frameable, too - which provided I do a decent job of it, should make for a fairly neat piece of art when complete. But lord, how long will it take me? And will this lead to other ship-building projects?

Arthur has an electric toothbrush with Spiderman perched on the side of it. Does yours? (Santa Claus is very big on oral hygeine around here...)
I didn't think so! Mine is!
So Oral B can track how many times you brush per day and for how long? Or is it more like toothbrush LoJack?
My only concern: when the robots rise, they can control my toothbrush!
*snicker*
But the Victory, that's cool! I wouldn't have the patience :o But if I did I'd try and wrangle some school credits out of it. We have a professional model maker here!

The rigging is what worries me the most.
It's a shame I couldn't get a nice scan of my rigging plan from last year - it turned out really nice. If I had the money I'd frame it and put it on the wall.
