Japan scans came back. As is often the case when I use a #ShittyCameraChallenge camera - in this case my Reto UWS (22mm, f11, 1/125, with Ultramax 400 film) - I actually end up very happy with the results. Lots of vignetting and lens flare, but respectably sharp, and nice contrast.

Ok, got the Lancia finished. It took a while and some shaky moments attaching all the little bits at the end. Wing mirror is somewhere only the carpet knows.😂👍 #histscalemodels #scalemodels

good morning - what I didn’t realize about the early 117 Coupes is that they were effectively hand-made and produced in a seriously low volume www.carsensor.net/usedcar/deta...

iirc these early hand built ones were the most expensive domestic car you could buy in Japan when they were new

This thing has unbelievable history, pretty much every maintenance record back to about 2005 and the last owner had it 14 years. 156k miles but doesn’t feel it a bit

Been a bit since I posted here but I decided on a new car last month 😎 2002 Celica T Sport. Nice to be back in a Japanese car (I should really try to use this site more again, the car community here is great)

Feels like I’ve gone down the mg rover rabbit hole and now these are pretty appealing as a next car choice tbh… in a high spec and an interesting colour they look great

George @thekingpleb.bsky.social · 26/09/2025
I think I’m tired of restomod culture in general, they’re obviously very well crafted cars but they’re all just bigger wheels + fancy reupholstered interior + usually LED halo style lights, all for 5-10x the price of the original car Obviously I’m not the target market for these things, but…

George @thekingpleb.bsky.social · 12/09/2025
Interesting thanks, the one in the picture is at the pretty high end of prices (5950) but it’s a big spec and one owner with 65k miles, will have to do some research on them

George @thekingpleb.bsky.social · 12/09/2025
Other options I was looking at were all 3UZ Lexuses (lexi?) in other words the sc/gs/ls430 so this is obviously a fairly different choice to them lol

George @thekingpleb.bsky.social · 12/09/2025
Thoughts on the mg zt 190? Been looking at options for my next car and wasn’t even considering them until I saw an ad for one and my first thought was how well this design has aged #weirdcarbs

Super warped, although this kit was printed in 1990 so I can forgive that a bit seeing as it had been sat in a box for 35 years

Finished it. Hated every minute of putting the body on the chassis. So many fitment problems in general as well. Every revell kit I’ve made has been a mediocre experience at best and a hateful one at worst #scalemodels

Making great progress with the revell sl300 kit despite the fitment and quality issues. Going for this kind of colour scheme #scalemodels

Also got the goods of course. The Draken was printed some time in the early 70s as far as I can tell so it’s the oldest model I’ve ever bought

I still love this car a lot but I might replace it next year just because there’s other cars I want to own and experience, however every time I have tried to come up with a list of options none of them quite tick as many boxes as this one does

This car is exactly 18 years old tomorrow weird to think that the oldest Mk5 R32s are now 20. The mk5 was the new golf when I was a kid... the gti in particular was one of the cars that got me into cars #carbluesky

This was pretty awesome. #83 AF Corse Ferrari 499P First picture of the winning car after, well, winning! 🏆 Always an impressive feat 🏁 But in my opinion, everyone who finishes is, in its own way, a winner. What a beautiful motorsport! 🤩 I hope my little coverage made you feel closer to it 🫶
