427 cubic inches of rumbling V8 lurking under those very stylish curves makes for very desirable car.....one of my all time favourites, the 1969 C3 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.

Given a tweak or two in post to highlight the lines and the wonderful metallic flake gold.

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.

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.

How do the people who really know how to build miniatures do their thing? I don’t get it. I mean, I can build a model that is good enough for my photographs, I’m cool with that, but the real masters... they are something else. I’ve been doing some research on this recently, you see, and there is some seriously fantastic stuff out there. But with these particular models, the quality of paint pigments and weathering isn’t what puzzles me the most, even though the pigments alone are a long story, but really it’s the way the designs are unpredictable when put in front of the camera. Without building one, you can’t tell how it works.

The Millennium Falcon I have (1/72nd scale) works surprisingly well for its scale, the X-wing (1/24th scale) is just sublime. There is something very camera friendly in those designs. I figured this 1/24th scale Y-wing would be brilliant as well and invested a lot of time and effort to building it, but so far it remains a bit of a conundrum. What works great with the X-wing, doesn’t work at all with the Y. It has a language of its own and I haven’t figured it out just yet.

Of all the photos I’ve taken of the Y-wing so far, this is the only one that works well enough to post. It’s from a few weeks ago.

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.

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.

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.

Don't ask me about "brown" IL-2, we had a laugh :-))

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.
