Wild mushroom picking

For some time now i dreamt of going wild mushroom picking, and finally i had the time to do so.

Weather was good- warm, with few drops of rain over last few days.

I managed to find excellent looking woods, with plenty of mushrooms in it.

I enjoyed the trek across the woods much. With abundance of mushrooms i collected 150 wild mushrooms locally known as Kozak.

The day finished with bonfire...

Carp fishing

Last weekend i was fishing overnight session again, and i have landed the 14,3 kg carp at 1 am.

It is my fourth big fish out that venue, and theres only one big fish remaining, that has not been caught yet- the 25 kg monster.

Calowanie fishing

Last weekend i was fishing the 30 hour session on Calowanie fishery near Gora Kalwaria.

It was my first time on this venue.

After many hours spent on getting to know the water i got lucky, and landed my first ever sturgeon. 

It fell for the imitation halibut pellet mounted on the hair rig, and fished 8 feet of the bank.

After landing many small carp using the same tactics, eventually i got the reward for sticking with the margin fishing, and landed the 12,320 kg mirror carp. Job done for the day.

Gaz 69

Work started on the Bronco Gaz 69.

The kit looks excellent, with abundance of detail. It does not leave any room for aftermarket stuff at all. I have never ever before put together kit as good as this one.

I discovered the error in the instruction manual- part F4. It should be turned 180 degree.

 Here the frame finished with the engine fitted.

Body, and wheels assembled. Seats, and doors also.

We've been having some hot weather recently, and soaking in the detergent was a must to get all the fingermarks off of the parts.

I smell glue again.

Almost a month ago my beautiful daughter Caroline was born, so understandably i didn't have much time for hobbies. Now i became custom to the father role, im finding the urge to work with plastic again.
I took few days off and went fishing to make my mind what i want to do with my modelling life.

I decided i haven't the time to work with difficult kits anymore, so from now on i'm ditching all outstanding models awaiting on the shelf of doom. Additionally i'm only concentrating on the easy kits i.e. the Tamiya, Bronco, or Hasegawa.

Continuing with that line of thinking i reached for the Bronco Gaz 69 M kit.

I will build the model as polish Milicja vehicle from the seventies using excellent decals from Toro.
Stay tuned
