Wow - I love "Nighthawks" and have a copy of the painting on a wall. Great idea.

It looks like it's a kit for train layouts.

OT but I also love Martina's 3D-printed prosthetic pinkie! A few of our local Dremel enthusiasts should probably be aware of the open-source Danger Finger digit replacements  ;)

I would suggest not watching her videos before being fully awake. She's like a large mug of Death Wish coffee and some No-Doz

This illustration was labelled as “The unsettling art of illustrator Walter Molino for “La Domenica del Corriere” Italian weekly magazine.”

Looks like a Douglas F4D Skyray, if I’m not mistaken?

Would make an interesting diorama.

That could be an interesting diorama - I assume it is inspired by this incident:  https://asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/174845
