Two dollars

In the 60s, a barrel of oil cost less than two dollars in the United States... who wouldn't buy that now, right?

Fewer clothes

Summer is coming to the SpotModel warehouse, and our bodies are begging us to put away our coats and scarves and change into swimsuits and summer T-shirts. But how can we do the same to the scale models? We went back and forth until we had a great idea: let's leave some scale models with just a few clothes on...

Where, when, how much...

In rallies and raids, you have to go very fast, as fast as possible. But, you don't just have to go fast; you have to know where you're going and how far you have to go to the finish line, as well as have clear and precise control over your timing. Another important aspect is radio communication, especially in case of an accident, breakdown, or any other setback.

Clio superpower!!!

Back in the 1990s, Renault homologated the supercharged Clio Williams in Group A to compete in the World Rally Championship. To do so, they modified the engine, brakes, suspension and chassis (among other things) of what was already a super-muscled and fast machine. Thanks to its popularity, we were able to see it in a vast number of races with various teams between 1991 and 1993.

AI

Artificial Intelligence, or "AI" as they call this invention for short, seems like something from aliens that has nothing to do with scale model building. Well, we were wrong, because the images at the top of this newsletter, which were generated using AI surely by some scale modeler (and which we happened to find on a social network), made our hearts beat 200 times per minute...

Triple trio of aces

We've asked the most experienced and skilled players, and they resoundingly answered that it's practically impossible to achieve a triple trio of aces in a single game. Well, we did it. How? We'll explain it to you in a simple way; keep reading.

OFF

Last Monday, we had a power outage at SpotModel. Well, it wasn't just at SpotModel, it was all across mainland Spain, part of Portugal, and some parts of southern France. Hours and hours went by without a single volt reaching the outlet. :(

Rise

"Rise" is defined as the growth or increase of something. So, when asked, "is modeling scale modeling rising?" many would answer no, because you hardly see any new faces at modeling meetings, there are no young people building models, blah blah blah. That is one point of view, but at SpotModel, we don't see it that way...

Catalog

It's curious how magical model catalogs are: you open one of them to any page and immediately you can see the boxes of those models in your house, and you can even clearly see those finished models on your shelf. :D

Days later

We've put together a photo album of the highlights we saw at ModelMotor, the SpotModel event held the last weekend of March, where we were able to delight with around 140 entries by the cream of the crop of Spanish scale modelers. The photographs speak for themselves about the impressive variety, quality, and quantity of material we gathered.
