Greetings from Colombia, the land of Juan Valdez!

A little lost due to multiple occupations, however, already here again to show some work of recent years, so as you will observe, I have not stopped!

I found a toy that was transformed into a real kit, it was a Gundam-style robot that was disassembled, sanded and painted just like a normal kit, see the result!

I got a Hawker Tempest in 1:72 some time ago, in my local modeling club I made a challenge on D-Day, I armed it as the box instructions say with some modifications inside it, you can also see how it stayed and give Its concept.

A purchase and a lucky gift left me with 2 Vampires in 1:72, so I armed one directly from the box and with the other I tried to make a French Mistral, you will be the judges!

With the change of camouflage scheme in the Colombian Air Force I dared to do a "what if" with a Comanche, what was left?

Another lucky gift allowed me to do a new "what if", this is a Coast Guard Mohawk, I saw it on some page and I found it very interesting to put together.

I also worked on an Avenger, without instructions and half-arm came to my hands, with some patience and dedication this was the result, thanks to the friend who sent it to me, since he does not put anything in 1:72.

When I was in a course in the United States I had the opportunity to acquire this interesting Dornier 335 Pfeil, with a "what if" scheme won a prize in Honduras!

With the figures happened something very particular, I took some of the Airfix kit in 1:72 of Modern English Paratroopers and recreated a scene in Falklands, I hope you can appreciate the Gurkha that goes with them...

Other figures that were used for something interesting were those of Airfix in 1:72 of Americans in Vietnam and the Vietcong, some were subjected to "surgery" to change postures, the result, Cu Chi tunnels, award winner in El Salvador!

A base of an M16 vehicle and figures of the Airfix kit of Soviet troops in 1:72 became "the track", that gained prize in Honduras.

Some Airfix kit figures in 1:72 of Romans and some Esci barbarians became another winner in El Salvador, the "Roman palisade."

And without forgetting the vehicles, taking the M16 of Revell and a truck workshop, I did the exchange, the result was an anti-aircraft truck and a workshop halftrack, the Maxon and REME.

Finally, I present the winner in 2 modeling conventions, in Honduras won gold medal and in El Salvador silver medal in free category, in scale 1: 6 the M134 dillon aerospace minigun.

I hope I did not bother you with this tremendous list of jobs, hopefully I understood that I was a long time lost (almost 2 years) and it was time to report to me from the corporate office of ARC in Colombia.

Saludos desde Colombia, la tierra de Juan Valdez!
