    Yeah exactly. It's unlicensed, but it's Porsche 919 from 2016. Of course decals are fake, but overall looks great and quality is actually really nice.

    Got it there:

    It looks brilliant to be fair. Do all the parts fit with proper Lego too?

    I used to build F1 models in 1/20 many years, but lost interest as my simracing got a new level with the T300 and an aluminium rig. Some of my models:

    Didn't try, but they should as everything looked like the ones I've seen in 911. Can't recall any custom parts that seemed to be made specifically for this.

    That's lovely.. There's something very satisfying about tiny intricate work.

    I've started this little collection of 1:87 cars for my office. I remember buying the first one (the 250GTO) in my local news agents/paper shop around 25-30 yrs ago.

    I built plastic model cars in my teens which was 50 years ago and then my brothers would destroy them when I was not looking. These days, I own a highly modified Toyota MR2 Spyder as a "hobby" car. I am also a huge fan of Super GT racing so my model collection is now made up of several Ebbro 1:43 GT300 Toyota MR-S models and 14 Choro Q models of Toyota Sports cars.

    Who can name the metallic green car though?

    I'm actually tackling 1:24 934 "Jägermeister" from Revell in near future. I'm so anxious about it though as I only once glued model as a kid and it turned out... average :D I think it was 1:35 M4 Sherman, can't remember.
    Friend talked me into that and promised to be my mentor, so I bought it. Fingers crossed it ends up looking good.

    And this month I picked up Sian from Lego and it's gorgeous, despite some color flaws and small drama with missing piece. Maybe I do some photos later and post it here.
