2012 was a great year and we want to thank you all for the great feedback via our blog, email, social media, etc. We wish you all a great new year 2013!
During 2013 the passion will continue, with lots of great new ideas that we’ll be sharing with you on our blog and newsletter. We have tons of ideas and 365 days in a year seem not enough to make them. Luckily enough, there are more years coming! (the Mayas were wrong! we’re still here, aren’t we?)
Here you have a few pics from my recent holiday in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Besides the great weather, cocktails and friendly people, I’ve also found great mexican buildings that might serve for inspiration for 2013 scale model projects (I’m not revealing nothing else now! – stay tuned!).
On the top, the Tequila Museum (a store) in Playa del Carmen. The next picture, a 100+ year old mexican church in the center of Playa del Carmen, along the fifth avenue.

I just love the photos of old Junkers. Good work.
Thanks Bob!
Happy New Year to you guys too! I always enjoy getting your e-mail. This one is especially good with all of the super-inspiring photos!
I have a couple of comments/questions about the 60’s-70’s trucks. I find it very interesting that some of the GM and Ford trucks seem to carry the tail light configurations from “previous” body styles, compared to those found in America. For example, the 1972 Chevy truck has 60-66 style tail lights. A lot of your photos show different “body-styles” for models than what is here in this country, but the truck tail light thing is very interesting. I wonder why they do that? You would think that the tooling for manufacturing the body panels would be more expensive to change the tail light openings??? Where were these truck manufactures? Did America update the tooling, or did your country “retro” the tooling? Also, what is up with the 1960 Chevrolet-style fins on the rear of the 1965 panel that you photographed? Is that factory, or did someone do that as a “custom” touch? I am a huge fan of 60-66 GM trucks, panels, suburbans, etc. and have never seen those “fins” before! Very cool. Thank you for all of the time and effort you put into your web-site and showing the rest of us what old, cool cars and trucks look like from outside of our countrys.
Hi Iggy and Seb
Happy new year to both of you as well.
The old junk yard pictures are AWESOME for me.
As you know I have a passion for building diorama’s and these pictures are great food for me to have.
