Newsletter 419: You can't build scale models without patienceMay 14th, 2020
It was undoubtedly the scale model of his life... but what would have happened if Piero had been born in 1971? Well, without a doubt, today we would be assembling scale model cars, using the Mr. Hobby primers that have become again available in Europe, Tamiya tweezers with angled tips, the Echo Tech ultrasound cutter and the Studio27 decals for the Porsche 962 and Mazda 767B that have just been reissued... Which would have been the model of his life? Which one is yours? :)
The pleasure of assembling a model is almost comparable to the pleasure of receiving a SpotModel parcel. You know, it's one of those little things that brighten your day :-)
