Scalemodel car

I had a blast running my SPC 2-6-0 over the weekend. This loco has an RC system for the throttle, reverser, and whistle.
I was able to achieve a nice, steady, slow run and was quite happy to get a solid run in for an hour with just a few stops for water to be sure things were good in the boiler.
When faced with a bridge like this, and when there was no traffic around, I could not resist the temptation to jump out of the car and grab a photo from the rear of the mighty E-type Jag about to head under it.
Although this looks like a section of a racetrack, (or even a video game) it is actually taken on the Sturt Highway near the state border between South Australia and Victoria. It is mainly a fruit fly checkpoint for people entering the Riverland area from Victoria. It is in Yamba, near Renmark / Paringa in South Australia. The bridge / arch was originally donated by Dunlop back when the Formula One Grand Prix race first started in Adelaide from 1985 to 1995. They continued to sponsor the upkeep of the bridge until 2000. I have read that there is some argument whether or not to keep it due to nobody wanting to pay the estimated $75,000 repair and upgrade costs.

Not my new wheels this time. This vehicle belongs to my friend up in our sister retirement village here in Mount Gambier. Just the thing for a quick trip down to the shops!

A forced perspective shot of what I think is a 1/32 scale model 2019 Kenworth T909 prime mover. My friend was given this as a gift, and as he knew of my love for photographing model cars, we decided to try a few shots of this wonderful diecast model truck sitting in his driveway. The backdrop is his street in the village with the corner veranda post of his own home just visible on the left. The model truck is around 12 inches long.
I want one! ; )
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.

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.
(Explored!)
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 ;)
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.
@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!
MS Jutlandia.
MS Jutlandia was contracted by and built for the East Asiatic Company (EAC) in 1934, as a combined passenger and cargo ship at EAC's Nakskov Shipyard, Denmark. Following an extended operational life in which she also served as a hospital ship and a royal yacht, she was finally decommissioned in 1965.
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
About the model!
Finally I've finished my latest and biggest model so far, the legendary hospital ship MS Jutlandia.
The model is built with techniques similar to Valkyrien and Dannebrog using Backward Matt`s tutorial in Smooth Ship Hull Shaping Technique. The model is also build to fit my other ship models in 1:200 scale.
It was impossible to find any drawings of this ship on the web, so my model is based on photos of the ship and other data found through Google. Another very important source was Konajra's brilliant minifig model of the same ship.
On most of the other models found on the internet the hull is painted green below the waterline, but I found some photos showing a dark-red waterline, suggesting that it may at some point have had the normal dark red seen on many other ships. It solved a problem regarding parts for the hull, because the slope 18 4x1 (60477) is not available in green, and 36 of these are used mainly at the front of the hull, but also at the rear.
The masts and crane booms are a vital part of the look of the ship, and I did order quite a lot of rigid hoses for the masts but they turned out quite poor because none of them are completely straigth. So instead of these I have used 3,2 mm polystyrene pipes, exactly the same size as rigid hose, but with much better properties. The Technic 1/2 pins used on the masts and the bar bolders used for the crane booms doesn't exist in yellow so all of these parts have been spray painted, a few other pices are also painted, see if you can find them!
Some specification of the model:
Length: 85,8 studs (686mm)
Width: 12,7 studs (101mm)
Height: 38,5 studs (308mm) (on stand)
Parts in total: 3400 , MS Jutlandia: 3158 , base 242.
As always comments and critics are more than welcome!
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.
