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.

Your opinion matters

A few days ago we had an interesting meeting with a plastic scale model manufacturer in which they told us about their upcoming car model releases, which we can't say anything about at the moment... BUT, during the conversation they asked us a question, a very good question, to which we gave a very good answer, of course. :)

Last call

This is the final call for all of you who haven't registered yet to attend ModelMotor 2025. There are only a few days left until we close the attendee list, so don't miss out on your spot. Are you really going to miss it?

Happy people!

How many happy faces do you see in this image? In it you will find some of the best modelers from all over Europe during the "On the road 2025" event held in Belgium a few days ago, where we were able to enjoy the spectacle of seeing several thousand models of cars, motorcycles and trucks, chatting with the best of the best in the world, and sharing many good times... Without a doubt, a great meeting with a large number of good friends and even better scale models.

On the road 2025

We already have our plane tickets in our hands and our scale models in our suitcase because, as is tradition for part of the SpotModel team, we are going to the 27th international edition of civil vehicle scale modeling "On the road 2025" that is being held in Jabbeke (Belgium)!!! We will be there to enjoy the biggest modeling event in Europe... and the best Belgian beers. XD
