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!

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.

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.
On 30 April 2022 a collector exchange and exhibition of construction equipment models took place at Ebianum in Fisibach, Switzerland.
I was present with a selection of eight of my LEGO models depicting real life mining equipment. All of which are remote controlled using either Power Functions and SBrick or Powered Up components. I was busy explaining and demonstrating my models to the public.
Ebianum (www.ebianum.ch) is the official museum of the Eberhard Group, a well-known construction contractor in Switzerland. The museum has a large collection of real life equipment and an even larger collection of diecast scale models.

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!
My second approach to making a model of the most recognizble model of old polish combine. Completly new design, a lot of details and my first try with stickers.
Hope you enjoy it!
