I am not posting new models this week, but did feel like sharing a picture combining some of my existing ones. These are my Dutch police Eurocopter EC135, BMW motorcycle, Volkswagen Transporter van and Mercedes Vario riot van. They're all built to the same scale (1/22), which gives an idea of their relative sizes in the real world. I was a bit surprised myself at how large the riot van is.
The New Holland Honeyeater is mostly black and white, with a large yellow wing patch and yellow sides on the tail. It has a small white ear patch, a thin white whisker at the base of the bill and a white eye. This honeyeater is an active bird, and rarely sits still long enough to give an extended view. Sexes are similar in looks, but females are slightly smaller in size. Young birds are browner and have a grey eye.
Distribution:
The New Holland Honeyeater's range extends throughout southern Australia, from about Brisbane, Queensland, to just north of Perth, Western Australia.
Habitat:
The New Holland Honeyeater is common in heath, forests, woodland and gardens, mainly where grevilleas and banksias are found. It is inquisitive and approaches humans. It also mixes with other types of honeyeaters.
A peaceful morning in the Dutch countryside, where a traditional windmill stands quietly under a glowing sunrise. The soft light, the perfectly mowed grass, and the subtle reflections in the water create a timeless scene that feels both calming and powerful. I always love mornings like this—when the world feels still and every detail just clicks together.

The Dutch Cemetery which was consecrated in 1724, is believed to be the oldest in the country.
The cemetery, built in the style of the Dutch architecture of the time, is surrounded by walls and the year 1724 is engraved on the entrance pillar. The epitaphs and tombs, numbering 104, carry the authentic records of hundreds of people of Dutch and British nationality.
Many of the tombs are made of granite and red laterite and have no cross. There are big as well as small tombstones and the inscriptions on the epitaphs are in the old Dutch script.
The cemetery is now managed by the Church of South India (CSI). The St. Francis CSI Church of Fort Kochi maintains a record of the people buried here. According to T W Venn, who published the book St Francis Church, Cochin, the last person who was laid to rest in this cemetery was Captain Joseph Ethelbert Winckler. His burial took place in 1913.
Though the cemetery is kept closed most of the time, it is opened on request by visitors.
