I try to take decent photos, but I'm running into one of my limitations. White is a difficult color for me to capture. I'll have to try to convince my son to give me some tips on how to take decent photos. Will he have the patience? McLaren Honda MP4/6 Japanese GP 1991 Suzuka Ayrton Senna Tameo Kit 1/43

One step that got me thinking was making the drip rails above the side windows. In the kit, they weren't regular and precise; they disturbed the lines and, to be honest, prevented me from working on the symmetry of the windows. Making them was fairly quick and easy. I used 0.4mm annealed copper wire, which is more ductile than brass, and soldered it to the roof using small pieces of solder. I used a very high temperature, 450°C, which allows me to be very fast but requires me to carefully monitor the temperature to avoid melting everything else. I think they turned out quite well.

Bosica's 288GTO kit was designed a few decades ago and is obviously showing signs of age. The photoetched parts on the side window frames are too delicate and the wrong size, considered by many assemblers to be the kit's main flaw. I immediately realized that the entire assembly would need a radical overhaul. I began by reshaping the window openings to make the right side perfectly match the left, welding a brass support inside that will be hollowed out to form a recess for the actual frames. Finally, I created the actual frames using a plasticard template to draw two 0.3mm brass shapes. The two pieces are then welded together on a brass plate and hand-worked with my precious Vallorbe files. Once unsoldered, they are perfectly identical and fit precisely into their seats. The rear deflectors will undergo the same treatment. I know, it's a long process that would be easier and quicker with modern techniques, but this is what I know how to do, using my hands.

Non è mia abitudine fare recensioni di kit ma in questo caso ho fatto una eccezione perchè trovo molto bello che un appassionato modellista intraprenda queste iniziative. Ringrazio Zheng Cheng che ha lavorato con molta cura nella realizzazione di questo bellissimo kit e lo ha offerto al mondo dell 1/43 in metallo bianco dietro il marchio Krasca Studio. Bravo!

It's not my habit to write kit reviews, but in this case I made an exception because I think it's really nice that a passionate modeler is taking this initiative. I thank Zheng Cheng, who worked so hard to create this beautiful kit and offered it to the world of 1/43 white metal models under the Krasca Studio brand. Bravo!

I'm finally starting to work again. Many things still need to find their final place, but in the meantime, I'm starting over in a new dimension. It's a great motivation for the projects I'll have to tackle.

I'm almost there, only the last few details are missing, but I already know that in the coming weeks something will change again to make everything more logical and orderly. In my mind, I have the idea of ​​a watchmaker's workshop. Very ambitious, I know. In any case, work has begun again in earnest.
