Maisto Fresh Metal Series

Fresh Metals are diecasts produced by Maisto's in the scale between 1/59 to 1/64. However, not much people fancy them because to them it look cheap and it's not heavy and mostly lack of interior. However, there are a few castings that are worth buying. Here are the following models that I find it interesting ...

Musakhan

Musakhan also musakhkhan, msakhan, mosakhan, or ksakhen is one of Palestine’s most cultural foods and it is typically eaten by hands and because there are a lot of Palestinians live in Jordan it became also famous here, beside that there are some restaurants mainly serve the Musakhan dish. This dish has been passed down by generations, and will be in the future. Musakhan requires some effort and time until it is done, but it's worth the effort.

Ingredients:

• 1 whole free-range chicken (about 3 1/ 2 pounds)
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 3 1/2 pounds onions, peeled and sliced thin
• 1/4 cup sumac
• 4 sheets marquq bread (see the Note below) or 2 large khubz 'arabi (Arabic flatbread or pita bread), split open and separated
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preparation:

• Cut the chicken into up into two breasts, two thighs, two legs, and two wings. Salt and pepper the chicken.
• In a large, deep casserole, heat 1/ 4 cup of the olive oil, then lightly brown the chicken on all sides over a medium heat, about 20 minutes. Remove and set aside. Add the remaining 1/ 4 cup olive oil to the casserole and cook the onions until translucent, about 35 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the sumac and cook for 2 minutes to mix.
• Preheat the oven to 350F. Cover a 9 x 12-inch baking dish with two overlapping halves of the Arabic bread or 2 sheets of marquq bread. Spoon half the onions over each, then arrange the chicken on top of the onions and cover with the remaining onions and the juices from the casserole. Cover with the two remaining half leaves of bread or sheets of marquq bread, tucking in the sides crusty side up and spray with water. Bake until the chicken is very tender and almost falling off the bone, about 1 1/ 2 hours. Before the top cover of bread begins to burn, spray with water again or cover with aluminum foil.
  

Note: The size of marquq bread made and sold in the U.S. or Canada varies, so use common sense. It is sometimes found with its Armenian name, lavash bread.

Custom Proton Wira (Facelifted)

It is currently weathered because it's one of the models that I custom during my early days of modelling and doing so I can hide some mistakes. Do you guys like this custom Proton Wira?
It's customized to a newer and facelifted version. (Looks like a Proton Wira 1.8 DOHC LE)

This is initially a coin box from Public Bank. I sealed up to hole at the rear mirror and painted it flat black. Next, i modified the front grill and the rear lamps to a newer version. I lost the clear parts for the front lamp and i build it using transparency. The rear lamps are using te same way.
Initially, it has a spoiler but I remove it because it's ugly. There is also a front lip from Proton Putra which I scratched build from plastic cards.

Enjoy!

In neat rows, arrange the stuffed grape leaves on top of the lemon slices. Invert a heavy dish on top of the grape leaves, so the bottom of the dish is pressing down on them.
