THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT

...

Uf...is amazing see how many of you have sent me your emails or messages with your support and good words. I have recived more than 200 emails from many of you helping me with all kind of comments and motivation, and trush me, it really help me to continue with this. Also...thanks to all people who posted messages in Missing-Lynx, Armorama, Panzernet or my ex-Mig forum (where I cannot post any reply or message ¿?¿?¿?...) for the nice words and comments.

This was not a Good bye to the modelling, but just a change of path. And after see the reaction of many of you (I recovered the contact with many of you since 5 or 6 years ago), I think that I am in the right way. I was the last tow days reading all your emails, and repling some of them, and I was shocked with all that you guys said. I feel lucky because I am sourronded of great modellers and good persons and this is all motivation that I needed.

I will continue repling your emails during the next days, and I can tell you that I am really happy to be in touch with many of you again.

Thank you very much...muchas gracias.

221 SCRATCH, RIP

...

A history of his short life...

Long time ago I decided to paint and finish a Sdkfz 221 made by Jens Fredericksen in Scratch. I was so happy painting it, because I found many pictures of this model under DAK service. But....unfortunatly, I never will be able to finish this model, and is a pity. This model was destroyed (and accident?). I keep several pictures of the step by step that I took when I was painting it, and I will publish here in the incoming weeks.

Of course, it was much better than the actual plastic kits.

I feel very sad....

RIP

TAMIYA KV II, 1/16th scale

This is the second 1/16 monster that I am currently building and painting. I will show more pictures of this new kit, but...by now, just note the size of the turret. Seems small?? Check my hand size close to the turret!! I think that I will need more than one tamiya jar to paint this surface. But is really cool to build this tank in such scale. I cannot wait to finish it.

I must explain that I was forced to build the turret without instructions sheet because it was a pre-production kit, but after the bad time dicovering where I must place each rivet, screw and metals parts, finally it's done!!

To be continue....

ACTUALLY PAINTING

This is one of the two monsters which I am painting right now. This is the 1/16 Tamiya, with many improvements and metal accesories. I am exciting to try the Hairspray technique in such big scale, but could be very useful. Of course, I need to apply the hairpray directly from the can!!! It was applied between the read base color (ENAMEL) and the Dark Yellow (LIFECOLOR).




I wil add more steps soon.

WELCOME

Long time without publish my work in internet, but now I stay on line again. I decided to create my own blog to show my last works, opinions, techiques and more stuff and stay in touch with many of you friends.

Today, I start a new carrier, alone. I am a modeller again and I try to recovery all passion and motivation which were inside me long time ago. I want to be focus in the modelling one more time, in the techniques (which is my real passion), and in new ideas. I was tired of comercial stuff and other boring things, and now I feel free to do what I really want.

Welcome to my new blog and I hope you can share with me your opinions or doubts, and I hope also help you if you need me.

Thank you very much.
