new kits!

christmas is always a good time to have nice presents!!!!!
this year I received three new kits, the fujimi's sauber C30 and mclaren mp4/27 and tamiya's red bull RB6!
I'm really happy with them and hope to start the work on the sauber soon! 

porsche 911 turbo '88

This is one of the reasons I couldn't finish the two lotus before.....
A very good friend celebrated his 40th birthday and I built a porsche 911 turbo as a present for him.
Is the first time I built a non-formula one model and it was quite difficult to achieve a good result. The kit is very basic (it has no engine detail) but, as always in tamiya kits, the fitting is perfect. I also used a homemade decals (the same he has in the original car) and they worked well.
let's go to finish the two lotus!

hobby design - F2003GA detail set

Today I received the hobby design's 1/20 Ferrari F2003GA detail set. As all of their products it's a great set! I can't wait to use it it soon building the F2003 from Fujimi!

clearcoat

Finally I received the clearcoat 2K pack from Hiroboy.

It will be the first time I use this kind of clear in my models.

new lamp

christmas is always a good time to have nice gifts!

this time I got a new lamp!

now I don't have any excuses to work on little pieces!

new tool and models

We have new kids on town! The first one is a new airbrush. It's an iwata revolution (0,5mm needle). It's time to retire my old ABS300!

Tamiya's M23 in 1/20! (and some tobacco decals.....) this has been the holy grail for the modelers during many years, as it was really difficult to find.
This is a reedition of the original, but I'm happy I will be able to build it!
And finally, the tamiya's lotus 79 martini livery. I also bought the rebaque livery decals to use with the other lotus 79 I bought some months ago. Maybe they will be the next cars I will build......

new models

Four new kits arrived at home! The williams fw-16 was one of the kits I always wanted to build and finally it was released in plastic! I also bought the latest tamiya kit, lotus 79. I was planning to build the "martini" livery, but as it will be also released soon by Tamiya, I will build the "rebaque" version (with the car painted in brown)

These two are very special, as they were missing in my tamiya collection... I bought them in ebay at 15$ each... really a bargain!

welcome at home, guys!

paint booth

Hi to all, the last weeks I didn't work on the F60, but I did another kind of modeling. I built a new paint booth with the help of two friends of mine, albert & jordi. Gràcies nenes!

It is 60x40x30cm and it's made of MDF. As I don't have enough space at home I wanted to build something easy to use and also easy to keep.

I used a cooking fan (it's a squirrelcage type) and the cooking filtre is removable to make it easy to replace.

The air duct is also removable, easy to fix and easy to keep. Now it's time to follow working on the F60!
