I seriously hope I look this good when I am seventy two years old (and counting). This is the original first Chevrolet Corvette from 1953. From what I have read, it didn't exactly set the world on fire when first released. The first year saw only 300 made, and they didn't all sell. Not great or particularly sporting to drive, mainly due to only having a straight six cylinder engine and a 2 speed automatic transmission. And it only came in one colour - Polo White with a red interior.
But, it did look so wonderful for the era, and it is where the Corvette started.
I cannot wait to 'drive' this one!

A 1/18th scale model 1953 Chevrolet Corvette C1 by model maker AUTOart. This is one of only two pre-owned models in my ever growing set. A little hard to find now as they were released many years ago around 2004 and in limited numbers. I'm very happy to have it in my collection!

This shot is from inside Maghull Library on Merseyside looking out over into its courtyard and onto a G-Scale model railway which is presently being constructed.
Maghull's most famous resident was legendary toy-maker Frank Hornby lived there for much of his adult life. The Town's Leisure Centre houses Maghull Library and above it the Frank Hornby Heritage Centre that's run by the Frank Hornby Charitable Trust. The Trust and Sefton Council's Library Service are working together to theme Maghull Library along Hornby/Meccano/model railway lines and the outdoor model railway pictured is a part of a Lottery-funded project being promoted by Sefton Libraries.

This close up shot shows the first six posts I had completed trimming the outboard (fattest) sides for their proper shape. On the unfinished parts you can see where I had hand drawn the required lines that helped me cut and file the shapes. The man is there to show their size.

Navigating through the humongous storm cells in a giant gas planet atmosphere is a challenge even for a spaceship capable for interstellar travel. It’s not the supersonic crosswinds that risk overloading the stabilizers, it’s the way the downward surges can suck you into the thick lower atmosphere in a matter of seconds. There is no return from the depths.
The apparent calm and beauty of the pastel cloud layers is deceptive – and deadly.

Like the X-Wing model uploaded earlier, this is an oldie from the bottom of a cardboard box filled with childhood scale models. I ran into this today as I cleared a couple of shelves in the basement.
This is a Monogram model I got with great expectations after the wonderful X-Wing. I was so disappointed when I found out that this was a very, very simple model which had no pilot nor a cockpit, just the canopy with black decals for windows. Also, the kit had no orange stripe decals for the bottom, only top. Maybe that's why I was a bit more adventurous with the matchstick weathering. I wanted this to look mean, so, pushing the envelope, the matchstick flame melted the plastic here and there during the process. The damage actually looks allright now (not really visible from this angle), this one just looks battered, as if it's seen a lot of interstellar action.
There's an Avanaut Facebook page for those who like liking such things.

Guess who's back...back again...
Here's Bandai's fantastic 1/144 scale U-wing, completed in my own custom scheme/livery.
This is also one of the first models I have completed in a long, long time.
And yes, I am plugging my Instagram - very sneaky ;)
My other past time, this is a 1/72 F-89D Scorpion. It was a cold war interceptor that used 102 folding fin rockets in each wingtip pod to spray 2 inch buckshot at bombers. Revell kit I had for years that I decided to make based on the high visibility paint scheme.
I usually display vegetal chair's pictures on the doors of the cabinet in the living room. This pair( real sized and 1:6 scaled cabinets) makes me happy, and here is a newcommer beside the cabinet.
@junchen.meng has built my Ford F100 and added custom rims with chrome all over!! It was quite challenging to design the wheel arches over the wheeels with a functional turning radius this truck drives fast with 2 buggy motors 😤 have a haunted start to your weekend everyone ! #lego #technic #scalemodel
There are lots of reasons to love Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn: The donut shop, the independent Toy Store and the overall “mom and pop shop” feel that emanates from a morning stroll down its sidewalks. Additionally, spanning the blocks, there is a wide variety of architecture to be found. This amazing building was overlooked by me on my many trips there. It is located just past the intersection of Bedford and Manhattan Avenues where I would typically turn to walk down Bedford. An account I follow on IG, @bkbybike posted a photo of this building earlier this year and I was instantly smitten. The overall color palette as well as the detailed bay windows reeled me in. Additionally, a barber/coffee shop calls ground floor its home. A very big thanks to @bkbybike for continuing to inspire my IG feed with amazing buildings like this one. Enjoy!

I went to the IPMS meeting. Had a beer or two with mates. Come back with this photo. All credits to the owner/maker :-)
Don't ask me about "brown" IL-2, we had a laugh :-))
Another shot of a section of my model railroad, all of it shot indoors without the benefit of Photoshop.
Second model of three new recovery vehicles that I'm building, this Scania has been in my box of assorted models waiting for me to decide what to use it for. As I'm having a rest from building emergency vehicles a new set of recovery vehicles would make a nice change. The third model is going to be a Volvo Boniface recovery truck. All the water-slide decals for the model are designed and printed in my workshop.
