I bought a second-hand Waldmann premium desk lamp with fluorescent bulbs and converted it to LED. Fitted a high-CRI LED strip to boost the light output too! The arm's movement is, as expected of Waldmann, quite good.

Purchase of professional soldering iron, ERSA i-CON1

I upgraded my soldering iron from the HAKKO 936 to the professional-grade Ersa i-CON1. The iron is compact and lightweight, with a slender cable that makes it easy to handle. Despite its small size, it packs a powerful 150W equivalent, handling large soldering jobs with ease. Its motion sensor automatically and frequently lowers the tip temperature, preventing damage. It offers the ultimate user experience.

Speed Record Car: Blue Flame, 1002 km/h, 1/43 Scale Miniature Car

I acquired a model of the Blue Flame, the 1970-1983 world speed record holder clocking 1002 km/h. The nose pitot tube was damaged, so I repaired it. The overall look is quite well done, though the cockpit might be a bit too high.

Miniature Car 1/43 “Blue Wonder” Mercedes Racing Transporter

I bought a 1/43 scale model of Mercedes' racing transporter, the Blue Wonder. Altaya's version is the best among the various manufacturers. It skilfully recreates the 1955 curved body and the vivid blue paintwork. As a bonus, I bought Altaya's 300SLR and placed it inside to recreate the display at the Mercedes-Benz Museum.

Česká, The Military Technical Museum Lešany

The Lesany Military Technical Museum in the Czech Republic. Located on the outskirts of Prague. Tanks and self-propelled guns are not the only exhibits; the space is packed with artillery pieces, various military vehicles, motorcycles and more.
