I do love getting packages from SpotModel. The care and attention in the presentation adds to the joy of receiving what I ordered. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Hey, gang:

Once again this year i participated in the 20th Annual 24 Hour Model Build here on Facebook. I had high hopes, and a good kit. So i figured i had a good shot.

Unfortunately, this is as far as i made it this year… I wasn’t really having many issues with the build, but for the first time ever doing one of these, I had issues with sitting at the bench… i had to take frequent breaks due to my legs and back hurting. I’d say I spent 2-3 hours not building (including food/bathroom breaks) and it bit me. I feel like I have more than the lost three hours’ worth of work to do on this though, so I’ll take the L. I’ll take more pics later and tally how much more time it takes to finish this one. I’m actually pretty close. I’ve got some mask bleeding to fix on the paint, and then final assembly…

I’ll still be back next year. I already have some ideas. 😁

Hey, gang

This is going to be my build for this weekend’s 2026 20th Annual 24 Hour Model Build; a 1/20 Tamiya Fiat 131 Abarth rally car. I’m going to put enough of my hobby room back together to do this build.. the spray booth and the dehydrator are musts for this. I will focus on building the car… I’m not sure about the driver and co-driver figures yet, as I don’t have many figure painting supplies. Maybe I’ll “figure” something out. 😁

I’ll try and document as much of the process as I can.. Though I usually end up forgetting to. Wish me luck. 😁

Until next session.

Hey, gang

Here is the mail call from last May that I didn’t get to post.

I had placed an order with SpotModel for a Tamiya 1/24 Mercedes AMG GT3, as well as an LB Production GT3 Evo transkit, with 3D printed parts to update the nose and tail. Also from LB Production via SpotModel was a set of decals for the #888 GruppeM Racing Mercedes AMG GT3 Evo driven by Maro Engel, Mikaël Grenier, and Maxime Martin at the 2025 Bathurst 12 Hours race in Australia.

This build will unfortunately be relegated to the back burner for now, due to my hobby room being in limbo, but it’s a build I am looking forward to doing.

Until next session.

Apologies for my absence, gang…. My build mojo has been a bit lax, and I am cultivating a new romantic relationship… so time at the bench has been lacking.

In the meantime, I ordered this from the good folks at SpotModel. Any guesses as to what’s in here? 😁

Until next session.
