You are always welcome!
Helsinki is a smallish European city. Lapland is the area north of the Polar Circle so there is very little in common with these two places. Lapland (in the Finnish side) is much larger that i.e. Belgium but with something like 20,000 inhabitants. The land is full of lakes, rivers, forests and fells. Summer mean 24h per day sunshine while winters are very dark with just blue light and total darkness in the nights. Luckily, Aurora Borealis is often giving a magic light for the night.
For me Lapland is a dream land.
Best, Kari
Rarer than a Bleu Cheese find!
Dear All, I trust that you all enjoyed the weekend! I just got back from a recent business trip, which took me to my old home of Japan, where naturally i would go searching for my favourite Blue car models. Boy, did i make a Super catch this time round! I...
Here in Nuremberg we celebrate a "Blue Night" each year!
Hi Stephen, I hope you are still enjoying your new toy cars in blue! In the city in Germany where I live there is celebrated a so-called "Blaue Nacht" each year in May. Obviously the ancient city center is illuminated with blue lights which gives a specia...
I definitely didnt know that!
And this being coming from my most favourite country in the world! Thanks for this, i will definitely have a look into it! I love the German, Blaue Nacht Jah! Das is Wunderbar! Danke schoen! Stephen
Hi Stephen,
As a man who loves Blue, you should visit us in Lapland. From next month till the end of January, there is no daylight. The sun stays a little bit below the horizon and the only light is blue. Everything will be surrounded by snow and the snow also looks ...
I have been to Finland once before
Unfortunately was limited only to Helsinki, and not into the "real" Lapland as i understand the definition of it. That sounds beautiful, and would definitely be a once in a lifetime experience for me, should i ever be fortunate to go there again! Thanks! ...

The Auroras
I once saw them on a flight from Frankfurt to Boston, and they were magical! Would love to see them, in the nature hopefully! Thanks! Stephen
Hello Stephen, it has been a long time....
As a matter of fact, i do have the blue Aventador Jota as i have all the Look Smart and MR models, I am a fan ( and friend) of Egidio Reali' s miniatures. As I do not have any more time to go shopping , he is kind enough to send me all his novelties. You ...
Ciao!
Ciao Luc! Always good to hear from you! And with your current new position, i can only imagine how busy you must be! Same here too. Yes you have mentioned to me before about your relationship with MR, and lucky you indeed! I wish i could have all too, but...
Hello Stephen, i am actually meeting Egidio on thursday, i want him to make all the ...
Bentley historic models. The MR and Looksmart models are made from the same tooling. Only difference is that the looksmart are produced in China due to the greater volumes ( still limited) but also to make them more affordable. The MR are produced in ital...
Thanks for the insight luc
I definitely did not know that about the models not being simple scaled down. I had always thought they would be more real that way. Indeed the MR Models are so much better, but as you said not exactly healthy for the wallet, therefore i am limited to buy...
re: find
Cool addition to the collection Stephen. Have you ever gotten into building your won model cars? Way back when, companies like Revell had aiplanes, heli's, and of course cars. It was always fun building and painting it yourself. Some were glue together an...
I guess im just not that skillful
Thanks Ming! Well, i did try myself with Gundams back then, but that's probably as far as i went! Im not that good with my hands, so i often just marvel at the shops, but when it comes to actual purchase, i think i'll leave it to the pros ;) Tschuss Steph...
