Hello everyone,
I wanted to provide a quick update on several fronts.
First off, after a dear customer asked me if I would be interested in making a gravel kit for the newly released model, the 737-200 from X-scale, I decided to give it a shot and thus today I am releasing it as a new product at my shop.
Here are some photos of it:
After attempting to assemble the kit’s original nose gear and nose gear wheel well, I decided to extend a bit further the project and make a new nose gear and nose gear wheel well as well, it solves some of the issues I had while assembling the kit’s original parts and brings more detail to the area. This was also taken as an experience for the time I work on my 747 kit.
Second; the catering truck in 1/144 scale is still being worked on, trying to make the best prototype cabin for the finished transparent version is one of the hardest things I have ever done, pushing me to the limits and attempting this so far up to 10 times, I will however, not give up until I have the best prototype model in order to get the best result possible on the transparent casts later on. I am also working on a finished version which will help in the assembly guide video as well as the instructions that will be included in the kit.
The catering truck was started around January 2024, it has been too long for a single GSE model, therefore, and as for now, I am dropping the 1/200 version of it. It has been a mix of different things that lead me to this decision, technically I could still do it, but I rather focus my energies into something else for the time being.
The 787 and 747 projects are not abandoned or cancelled or anything of the sort. I know that in general, people can see model kit manufacturers releasing models of this magnitude every year, however, it’s not the same for me, I run this company solo, therefore I do everything; from the design, to the printing, to customer support to the packaging and shipping of orders and no less important, to keep learning and improving my workspace, so time is always a constant and something I always ask to be patient with.
This leads me to say, to the people who sometimes complain about shipping costs, that I am not as big as Temu or other sellers to benefit from cheaper shipping rates, hence why I ask for understanding and thank you every single one of you for your patience and support.
Related to shipping, I am working on shipping to the USA again soon. I plan to open the floodgates once I release the catering truck; there are a few things I need to take care of at the shop to ensure a seamless experience for us both.
That is all for now, I hope that I can share with you the catering truck model finished in 1/144 scale on my next update.
Please, stay hydrated.
Best wishes,
Guillem
