I did a very quick online check, and there are at least fifty songs where the mighty Ford Mustang gets a mention - with Mustang Sally being the first on the list. Which reminds me - I have a fellow village resident called Sally! Another shot for another day!

By contrast, my real car, a Mazda 2, features in one song (and that surprised me that it even got a mention in anything!) by someone called meetcute!

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.

Savoia-Marchetti S.65

The Savoia-Marchetti S.65, was an Italian racing seaplane built for 1929 Schneider Trophy race.

I have always liked the older seaplanes, especially those built for speed, and the S.65 was indeed built for speed with it`s two engine configuration working in push pull. Unfortunately the Italians wasn`t very succesfull with this one; The plane was brought to Calshot England but never became ready to participate, and that way it only gave the British team something to speculate about.

In january 1930 the plane was finally ready for it`s first take-off on lake Garda. Three times the attempts to get airborne was abortet because of excessive yaw. On the fourth attempt the plane got airborne but shortly after, it stalled and chrashed into the lake. Tragically the plane quickly sunk to the bottom with the young pilot Tommaso Dal Molin still in the cockpit, and even more tragic it happened on his 28th years birthday.

About the model!

This model has been on the way for quite a long time, but finally I succeeded in finishing it! Design phase started more than two years ago, and one month later a model that doesn`t look much different from what you see today was finished. But then all sorts of more interesting things, like building my Super Sabre, pushed the little Schneider Trophy racer aside. Then at the start of 2020 I began collecting bricks for the model, and in March I ordered a batch of custom chromed bricks from Auri in Poland. Due to the pandemic curse of Covid-19, my order was put on hold until the end of April. While waiting for my order I decided to make a diorama for my model, a new challenge for myself, to put a little more life into the build. So please enjoy the Savoia Marchetti S.65 on the edge of lake Garda before everything ended so tragically.

The TIE fighter, produced in large numbers, light, cheap, efficient. They all look the same, no insignia, no markings. Well, almost no markings, there is the one with a large pentagon shaped emblem on the side but that’s about it. The TIE fighter is an intimidating sight, a faceless adversary, they just keep coming one after another.

I’ve wanted a TIE fighter for photography for a long time, but there is a catch. Not just any TIE would do, it’d preferably have to be a studio scale model, accurate to the last detail. But, alas, I cannot afford one.

The TIE fighter wings are quite special, you see. The material they’re made with, the Koolshade screen, does not really exist anymore. The machine used to manufacture it broke down long ago and now, decades later, the remaining stocks are extremely low. The original vintage Koolshade is VERY expensive. There is a newer version, it’s almost the same, almost indistinguishable from the original, but ultimately different. Without the vintage Koolshade, the accuracy is out the window and alternative routes open.

Many years ago I bought this Hasbro toy. It’s fairly close to the real thing, proportions are off and it’s a little smaller, but it’s not all that bad. Since I am not gonna get the real thing, this is a good substitute. I made some tweaks to it and hit it with new paint. Actually, maybe this is more fun than a true replica. For starters, it was really cheap. And since it’s a toy it doesn’t break that easily, this is one for rougher missions.

I haven’t built the wings yet, I will do that later. Until then I’ll play with the cockpit unit a little. I figured it would work like that, without wings, in case of emergency, like an escape pod of a sorts. Maybe even on Hoth.

This was a quickie outdoors yesterday as we had a great day of sunshine. After a winter that never came, it felt comforting.

Commission Build

More than 40 years has passed since LEGO® released this classic set, part of forgotten “Hobby series”.

Even if this ‪F1‬ looks quite simple I think it has a smooth design and a well balanced proportion. It looks like ‘74 Jacky Stewart Tyrell.

The color combo looks cool as well.

“Hobby sets” are the ancestors of ’90 "Model Team" series, VW Bug, VW Camper, F40 etc. And that’s the reason why this F1 is a part of my vintage collection…and I'm really fond of.

I bought this set for few euros in a flea market few years ago. The F1 was complete and in mint condition with extra parts too. I hope to add other "Hobby Set" to my collection soon.

And you, what do you think about this classic F1?

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.

Very tough, especially the air intakes on the bonnet, in the end I got some ideas after tinkering with my Miura's bonnet, because fitting a 3-studs detail into a 4-studs space is always going to be awkward, and I'm glad there aren't too much visible gap in the end.

Overall I'm pleased with the result considering the level of difficulty.

My first 1:18 scale diecast.

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.

My second Pista moc, built one last year that had some flaws, so here is an updated one with some improvements.

The headlights are difficult and they still don't look accurate enough, and there is a little gap in front of the front mudguard, but I have reworked the side profile and made some changes at the rear.

Edit :

17 Aug 2021 - Photo changed after small improvement was made to the front end.

@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!
