Took me 5 weeks to build this, including a lot of customizations. Shot with Samsung Galaxy Note 3 under natural sunlight.
This 3 wheeled, upside down, wooden boat car was parked in Old Portsmouth.
Owned by Topher Dawson
Taken on the Scott Kelby World Wide Photo Day 2010
Based on a Citroen 2CV it had a brass plate on the front (bow?) which read
"C W Dawson Boat Builder Scoraig"
Fantastically stylish everyone walking past stopped for a look.
It was highly polished and varnished and absolutely gleamed in the bright sunlight.
More people were interested in this 3 wheeled car than the £40k BMW's and Merc's around it.
It had more character than anything else in the car park - no matter what other cars were there.
There is another 2CV visible through the windscreen

So I'm finally settled in Sydney and ready to start uploading again!
Here is my new PC that I built a few days ago, I'm seriously head over heels in love with it. The specs for anyone interested are:
NZXT Noctis 450
Intel Core i7-7700 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor
CRYORIG H7
Asus STRIX H270F
Corsair Vengeance LED 32GB DDR4-3000 Memory
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD
2 x Western Digital Blue 2TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive
Asus GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Video Card
Corsair RMx 650W
Microsoft Windows 10 Home
5 x be quiet! SilentWings 3 40mm Fan
Corsair STRAFE RGB Wired Gaming Keyboard
Logitech Z333 40W 2.1ch Speakers
NZXT Hue+ RGB Lighting Kit
NZXT Griv+ V2
I haven't installed the NZXT Hue+ yet as I don't have enough internal USB 2.0 ports and need to get an adapter first. I haven't really done anything labor intensive yet but the few tasks I have done, it has handled it so much faster and easier than my old PC.
Once I get some days off from work I will edit and upload some of my shots from around Sydney.

After a few days to recover from what ended up being the single craziest month of my life (Not just Iron Forge, life threw some curveballs my way), I look back at my January of building!
First of all, SO much building this month. There's more finished models here than on my 2024 recap, and there's things I built that weren't even for the Forge too. 😅
I'm very happy with the performance I put down this year, and there's some models in there I am especially proud of. Still a bit longer to wait to see who wins, but truth be told, I'll be quite happy regardless of the outcome.
I also took this as an opportunity to compare my entries to last year's entries, and I think the difference is quite stark! Really pleased with how far I've come in the last year.
Some additional angles of model of the Town Hall of Deurne, which I built as a wedding present to two dear friends.

My sixth entry for the final round of the Iron Forge 2025! Sir Pricklesworth is a bit of a sillier entry but the competition is fierce, so I'm not going down without a fight!

A futuristic custom-built art car with a sleek, polished metallic body, parked alongside a colorful and playful creature-themed vehicle. Captured at the Trunk or Treat event in Tulsa’s Meadow Gold District on October 26, 2024, this unique scene contrasts the smooth, streamlined design of the art car with the whimsical nature of its neighboring vehicle. Shot on expired Fuji Sensia 100 film using a Nikon FG-20, this image blends creative automotive art with a fun, event atmosphere.

Belgian coachbuilders ATK work closely together with Renault in creating custom-built trucks to exact specifiactions of the customers. Using a Renault D-Range as basis, they create special vehicles with a very low gravity point as one of their main selling factors.
The trucks can have a total weight of either 10, 12, 14 or 16 tons, with the one seen here being a 16-tonner, as reflected in the model name.
This specific vehicle was built as a fish/seafood sales truck for Aarhus company JJ Fisk. It can also be seen on the website of ATK, where it is used as one of their references.
Going up the steep hill leading sw out of Aarhus past Viby and Stautrup. Underpowered and/or heavily loaded trucks often struggle here.
Tip: to locate trucks of particular interest to you, check my collections page, "truck collection" - here you will find all trucks organized in albums, by haulier (with zip-codes), year, brand and country.
Retirement age for trucks: many used trucks are offered for sale on international markets. If sold to a foreign buyer, this will not be listed in the danish motor registry, so a "retired" truck may or may not have been exported. In other words, the "retirement age" only shows the age, at which the truck stopped running on danish license plates.
