St Florian's Day (2026) Today (3.5.2026) firefighters in Považská Bystrica celebrated their patron saint St. Florian again. The celebration traditionally started in the local church and then moved to the town hall. They had parked their equipment in front of the church, so I took a few photos...

Thanks :) So I'm done...it turned out to be a pretty nice model...I made minor adjustments to the entire model...(mask, wheels, pump), I glazed the larger ones, added hoses, a firefighter figure, and a base...

...can be bought here...

Thanks :) So I've made some progress...glued the cabin, seats, pump, ladder brackets...;)

This model competition and exhibition took place in Zilina on April 25, 2026. I couldn't make it last year, so I'm glad I went there today to see it. As is tradition, I would like to thank the organizers of this event for preparing a nice competition and exhibition of paper models. The event...

thanks, more veterans will definitely join in time ;)

Thanx :) So I'm done, I added wipers, patina and a pile of hay on the back... I made it into a farm car... ;)

I used thicker cardboard for the base, with which I modeled the tracks on the dirt road... then I used fine brown sprinkles, then lightly varnished and finally I used static grass...;)

Now the real fun begins for me, because I like cars dirty, beat up and rusty...then maybe it will look a little more realistic. ;)

I'm slowly approaching the final....I made the wheels, which is probably the most laborious part of the model...4 wheels + a spare are made. The model allows building a simpler version with just drawn spokes, but that wouldn't be pretty... I also made the spare tire holder and the cargo bed - it...

Another set included fenders, tanks and lights. Modifications: added grille to the step and finished interior of the lights.

Thanks :), the author also wrote to me that he was glad that someone had glued the helicopter, so I hope that I won't be left alone and that in time there will be other finished models of this helicopter that will be glued even better than mine. ;)
