Modeling Israel vs Hamas War

 Modern wars are very difficult to model, on the one hand, practically no manufacturer makes modern equipment, modern soldiers, hardware with modern insignia, weapons, etc. Well, there is an exception, the Russia-Ukraine War can be modeled, because they are using ancient weapons, the Russians even took their old T-54s from the museums and in the emergency, the Ukrainians even used the T-34s from the monuments.

In the case of Israel's war against Hamas, it will be more complicated, because those in Hamas are very well equipped, with the most modern Russian weapons, but their uniforms are somewhat informal, more similar to those of a ninja than to the of a regular soldier, on the other hand, there are figures of Israeli soldiers, but from the Yom Kippur era.

And to finish grinding it, with the revolution of the language of the wokes (which translates as depraved or perverted, not as progressive), now you have to give the bad things nice names, otherwise you are a phobic in some way, so Now the new definitions imply that the following images must be associated with the new words:

New definition of Child:

Note the Russian weapons, AK-74, shaped charge RPG, IR markers and sights, weapons from the most modern of the Russian arsenals..

New definition of Israeli Soldier:

Note the evil "colonialism" in the eyes of this soldier, that is why those from Hamas executed them.

The problem is that if we want to make a model of the attacks, we would have to make the soldiers headless, and add a lot of gore, something that we modelers do not usually do, because in general it is considered in bad taste, unless you are a woke and consider that evil can always be justified

Modeling Area 51, the UFO

 It has always been a mystery, the reason for the UFO crash in Roswell, how did an advanced civilization crash a ship on Earth? After all, one would expect a spaceship to be so advanced that it would not have accidents.

However, a recent Hacking of the Area 52 computers, which, since they use Windows Vista, were not even a decent challenge, I obtained the following photos, in which it is explained in detail, what happened, why the accident happened:

Scratch model, plasticine alien, paper base, the UFO is the recycling of a yogurt jar lid, the bottle, Rum, why else would they visit Earth?

Critic to the Modern Art

Do modelers have more talent than modern artists?

When one visits a museum and sees the crap that these guys are presenting, the answer is obvious:

Of course we have more talent than a guy who just sticks a banana to the wall or an "artist", whose work is a half-filled plastic bucket, and who try to hide their lack of talent and technique, with bullshit, when they try to to blurt out, to justify his work, as soon as you start to listen, it is "to create awareness of...", you already know that it is a current and victimized discourse of "social justice", which has nothing to do with ART , but with posturing and vulgar politics,

I love Art, and like all good modellers, I know a lot about painting techniques, but I also enjoy art history, and I also had to read the perspective books of the great Renaissance painters, like Piero della Francesca, to pass my subjects. Geometry, so I have a respectable knowledge of painting, so when a "modern artist" tells me that I don't enjoy his work, "because I don't understand it", I can fully realize that it is the finest and purest bullshit that can say, blaming the viewer for the lack of talent of an artist, is a good way to hide, to divert a painful truth, that there are no good artists in the Museums and they are filled with merchants, a Jesus is missing to expel to these scammers of our cultural Temples.

And while art schools stop teaching painting, modelers continue to do it for pleasure, or in other words, the purest form of art, because we learn techniques, art, wear, gouache, materials , just for the pleasure of doing, of creating works, of enjoying the highest of our civilization, doing it, and yes, we are the ones who are preserving the artistic tradition of the West, it is we, for whom the manufacturers make paints, materials , brushes and all the paraphernalia that art requires.

And from our elevated vantage point in the Olympus of art, we can snort at "modern artists" who don't even know which way to hold the brush and who couldn't identify artistic sensibility, even if it bit them in the rear, who are incapable of create that emotion that the works of Caravaggio or Da Vinci did.

There is more technique in this opaque Phantom, than in many modern exhibitions.

And like those great geniuses, we do enjoy our art, we strive to learn and no matter how long it takes us, but we have great dedication and love for our Art, there is more talent in one of our model showcases than in many. museums.

Assembling the Spitfire Israel

I finally got a Starfix Spitfire, only it's 1/48, a scale I don't usually build, I bought it for a price, which I assumed was a 1/72 model, and since it came in a box the same size as the P-51 and the A-4 of that Jewish brand, I assumed it would also be on that scale, they cost the same, but no, it's bigger.

I like to assemble planes of one nationality, with models of the same nationality, so this model was meant to be painted as an IDF/AF Spitfire Mk IX, during the War of Independence; the model is level 2, very simple, so much so that the wings come in one piece, it is not a pirated copy of the Airfix one, but something similar to an upscale of the old model in 1/72 of the Mk IX of that brand, the Plane represents a Mk VIII, but it's easy to fix, doesn't have a decent interior, and the decals are for a generic RAF plane

The main parts

Already painted with the basic colors and the interior of the cabin built with scratch

The model is almost complete, it lacks paint in some details.
