From the famous #ChristmasTreeLane Model Railroad House in #Altadena on Saturday (That 2nd passenger car 👀): They are open to the public every Saturday 5-10 p.m. until January 3 (As well as on #Christmas Day)! 2085 Santa Rosa Ave, Altadena.

Early trip to Asda for milk was unsuccessful but these fell into my basket instead. Appropriate #McLarenMonday timing and #MiniMonday too ! #Hotwheels

Airfix Sprite brush painted (MIG Cobra BRG, Vallejo Gloss Varnish on top, MIG Atom and other acrylics plus GSF Chrome paint) Replacement wheel is front left. Don't look too closely but was a good bit of fun, Scalemates says it came out in 1961. Kit was free remember!

Despite the many obstruction i have got the jeep done and primer on. #histscalemodels #scalemodels

Also caught Lando at a wet Goodwood FoS 2019 in the M8F

Recently acquired some old models on Vinted; Didn't pay attention to all pictures on the listing and thought the £5 I paid was for a built Merit 1/24 Mercedes W196 ( £30+ on eBay, kits > £60), plan is to refurbish with Indycals decals for the numbers\seats. Lots more was in the parcel ! More ⬇️

Finally got some decent pics of my #spacewolves40k and I’m pretty happy with how they’ve turned out. Lovely to paint, even if they did get beaten in their first #warhammer40k game. #minipainting #paintingwarhammer40k #nerdlings

As well as the W196 there is a Connaught, Cooper 500 and D-Type Jaguar which I'm chuffed with to join restoration backlog. Also a box of 1/32 Airfix\Highway Pioneers that someone at our model club has taken on and an Airfix 1/32 Austin Healey Sprite More ⬇️

RIP to Martin Parr, who photographed this classic

Airfix 1/32 Austin Healey Sprite 1961 Bagged Kit, brush painted so don't look too close More ⬆️

Well done Lando! Not seen him race F1 but do have this picture I took at the F3 race supporting WEC 6H Silverstone back in 2017!

Working on some accessories. #scalemodels #histscalemodels

A Pair of NYSW B40-8s leads a Westbound freight to Allentown, while an Eastbound passenger train lead by a 2-8-0 steam locomotive passes by. Always great to stop by the West Island Model Railroad Club and catch up with friends on their stunning layout! Worth a visit if you are out on Long Island!

If you see this, post your black and white art!

3 large decals left but a lot have been done. Very good ones from Hasegawa, crisp, clear and laid well. I'll get the rest done tomorrow then leave them to dry fully. 👍👍 #histscalemodels #scalemodels

Sad to hear that Michael Turner has died recently so here are some of his marvellous paintings on display at British Motor Museum / JDHT in Gaydon for #Caturday #Jaguar to remember him by.

Something a bit different on the bench for the next few days, Sue got it, and handed it to me for building.

More done on the Skyline. Another aqua coat gone on and no dust on it. Done some of back axel. Now to start on the front

Next up on the bench, the Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire. Cockpit went together without an issue as expected for a Tamiya kit. #histscalemodels

While I wait, and maybe wait a while, for the airfix parts im going to give this a looking at later today. 1:24 Willys Jeep. #histscalemodels #scalemodels

Revell Corvette is finished, not a bad kit there were some fit issues and my inexperience with BMF let the model down a bit.

Visited Beamish Beamish Living Museum again yesterday, nice diecast collection in the 1950s toy shop

While hunting in the loft for the Tamiya P-51D I found this. I have absolutely no recollection of buying it.

Few more from Locomotion in Shildon

Hold onto your bricks! Rexy has officially entered the LEGO Technic universe. 🧱 Build the 1,313-piece Rexy, the Porsche 911 GT3 RAWR starting January 1, 2026. We will be selling this ferocious model at track and online. Details to come 👀 Story: bit.ly/4iva1lz

The shell has been painted and I have discovered my camera phone hates blue. It keeps turning it to a dark Royal Blue. Painted with the fabulous Mr Color Aqueous paints. And yes I got a rogue speck of dust right on the last pass... #histscalemodels #scalemodels #lancia

And more of my photo from the PVGP "bridge car show"

More snaps from the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix car show on the Roberto Clemente Bridge

Good visit to Locomotion in Shildon yesterday, lots of 🚂🚅 on display.

Tamiya liked a motor in the 70s, built this one from that kit a few years ago. Fujimi do a 917, body shape is a bit off but looks OK when done.

Thank you! Yes, Beaulieu. My model is of that chassis and one I have been lucky to see in action at Goodwood a few times. The Finburgh 917, good article here: www.porscheclubgb.com/news-and-eve...

While I wait for the shell of the Lancia to dry I thought I'd start something simple. The 40 year old Porsche should do it. A basic kit with brand new Cartograf decals. First time I've seen the clear parts already attached. #histscalemodels #scalemodels

A dirty looking race car is a good looking race car

Back to the 1980s at Locomotion in Shildon, great period catering advert …

I've discovered changing website providers is exactly like moving house. Lots of stress, last minute delays, and the thought that you're never going to do it again. Anyway, what exciting plans has everyone got for the weekend? Photo of a #Lotus Type 66, because why not. #WeirdCarBS

Motion! Heading into London Victoria #photography #transport #photo #timelapse

Some new photos of the Mole in it's diorama. Also a better look inside via the cutaway.
