Al port de Mónaco (conegut com Port Hercule) el luxe surt per totes bandes, ja. Cada iot és més bestia i passat de voltes que l'anterior. I pensar que tinc una foto que va fer el meu pare als anys 60 amb barquetes de de pesca encara dominant bastant l'escena...

In Europe, following the Second World War, the need for motorization was enormous but resources were lacking and few families had the budget to acquire a passenger car. This is why the popularity of microcars, small cars, often powered by motorcycle mechanics but more comfortable than a two-wheeler, developed from the end of the 1940s.

Toujours surpris de découvrir où va se nicher l'élégance des colosses de bronze ! ( Place Bellecour à Lyon )
There were some fab views from the Monaco-Ville side of Port Hercule and it was great to see one big cruise ship docked there, Viking Star.

Port Hercule - La Condamine - Principality of Monaco.
It was a fairly nice day with moderate temperatures in Monaco, although light was a bit soft with the low-lying clouds. This time of the year is low on the tourist scale which is always nice so I don't have to be bothered by the crowd. There were also none of those huge visiting cruise ships on port, so overall it was a quiet and tame atmosphere in this city state.
Port Hercule is Monaco's main harbour for ships and luxury yachts, as well as super yachts visiting from all over the world. The harbour has been used since the ancient times and covers over 16 hectares with an anchorage for up to 550 sailing and motor yachts. This only port of Monaco is located in the heart of the district of the Condamine and its nearby shopping and leisure facilities.

Since I got a new phone in February, I've used this one as my lockscreen's background. Every time I see it, it makes me smile and has become one of my favorite photos from last year.

This iconic place is the old train station of Sirkeci, the terminus where the Orient Express pulled in at the height of its glory, between the World Wars... It still does retain quite a bit of its period charm.
As a fan of Dame Agatha and of Hercule, I had to pay a respectful and nostalgic visit, of course.
My version of the venerable C-130 Hercule. It is 62 studs long by 78 studs wide. Inspired by Kurt's MOCs amazing Hercs, Brickmania's AC-130 Gunship and BigPlanes (for the motorisation), it is my first attempt ever at motorising one of my MoCs. I ran the four engines for 12 hours at speed 4 using a custom battery pack (2 Li-On batteries) and a standard Power Functions train motor. The IR sensor is concealed in the cockpit, between the two crew members (ok, it is just their heads!) but allows for a clear line of sight with the remote. The modified battery pack helps to keep the plane from tipping on its tail. I used 3 Light my Bricks bit lights for the nav lights, but I will refine this system and add a few more lights in the future. The nose can be replaced with a black one (I actually find that it looks better in black), but the grey version seems to be the norm nowadays in the USAF. In the video, you may notice that the right spinners are offset a little. When I properly calibrate the gears though, they all run straight and smooth. The rear cargo and side crew doors are the only other two functional aspects. 100% custom stickers, as usual.
Purchased at auction by Prince Rainier III in 1993, this version sold new in the United States has only covered 3,100 km since leaving the factory.

“Ask the one who owns one”: this is how Packard emphasizes the quality of its automobiles, placing complete trust in those who know them. With Cadillac, Lincoln, Duesenberg and Pierce-Arrow, the brand shared the upper hand in the 1930s but, alongside its sometimes ostentatious competitors, Packard reflected good taste, elegance and refinement. With its elegant convertible body, it is one of the most luxurious cars of its time.
