Not just a perfect sunrise, but a perfect piece of stying and design in the form of the ever beautiful E-Type Jaguar roadster from 1961.

I posted this after just having seen a few videos on youtube about the latest Jaguar concept car and associated marketing and rebranding that is going on. For me, (and many others it seems) it prompted a huge "what were they thinking?" reaction. It is a near total departure from everything that made the Jaguar name famous.

One video I saw attracted over eight thousand comments, almost all of which were negative toward the marketing, the design and almost all said it will be the end of Jaguar as we know it!

I can't help thinking if they simply re-released this beauty with some modern engineering and safety gear but keeping the style and design, it would be much more of a success than the latest concept!

A final shot (for now) of the new red Porsche 964. This was to highlight a detail I did not even notice until I took some more shots today. The full size car had the Porsche name in big bold red letters carefully disguised and blended into the full width rear reflector, so I I was pleasantly surprised and amazed to see it included in this 1/18th scale model.

Spring is here! From underneath the disappearing snow, all kinds of things emerge. Like this piece of junk. It's been there for years. If nobody turns up with proof of ownership soon, I'm going to claim it mine. There's room in my garage for another project.

Even though they built those with duraluminum and all kinds of corrosion resisting materials, this needs a good and thorough overhaul, maybe even welding here and there. Winters can be a little rough on these.

That thing kinda has been there for years. This turned out to be a new version of a photograph I took five years ago. I didn't plan to do another reshoot but this just happened by itself. I walked past the spot the original was taken in on a foggy day and took some photos just in case. Fogs are beautiful.

Trying out a new photo setup using a polypropylene sheet and a plastic storage box. Back of scene is towards window, with a white card to bounce light onto the model.

Oddly enough it was actually named 961 in the 1986 & 1987 24 Hours of Le Mans, and they ran the Rothmans livery in 1987. Not their most successful car, but still one of the best looking classic Porsches.

Always wanted to build the 959, but the headlights were too challenging for me, had to rely on those new parts that were recently introduced.

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 ;)

All the water-slide decals for the model are designed and printed in my workshop.

Finally, after a couple of years, my new diorama it's finished.

This isn't the 100% surface, it's only the island, in the final version there are +40 blue baseplates of sea, with a lot of pirate's ships.

Actually I can't display because I haven't the space to do, I need to go @ LEGO convention by ItLug in Lecco for display it.

Sorry for my bad english, I hope you like it.

More pictures after convention.

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.

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 have just finished this 1/48 scale, Occidental kit with after market Squadron / Aircraft codes, but the rest using the kit decals. Represents a Spitfire Mk IX flown by 453 Sqn, RAAF, Europe WWII.

@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!

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.
