Well, hello there!
It’s been a while. I’m not sure atm who’s still here, who’s not, and who’s new. I’m just a guy from Spain who used to post here A LOT (mostly on a daily basis) but suddenly dissapeared. I thought about coming sooner, but my life has been a rollercoaster and I had to put it in order first. I also though about messaging some people in private before posting this, but… I guess I want to do it general. I’m about to share some personal stuff, so if you don’t have the time or the interest, it’s okay! Just jump to the next post. Nobody will judge you 
(You can also move to the bottom, where I’m posting my latest finished kits)
And some of you may think… Is this really something you should post to the public? But hey, I have nothing to hide. And after being supposed to meet @Wenbare at the Meet Up and also being accepted as a Robotime Ambassator, idk. I guess it’s the least I could do. And, either eay, I have nothing to hide.
But I want to apologize to @Robotime and @Wenbare first and mostly. By the time I was travelling to Barcelona by mid-December for the Meet Up there was a huge fight. I discovered things about my partner that were… Well. The kind of thing I consider unforgivable in a relationship. We’ve just moved together to a flat where the rent is not that chip, I’ve just spend a decent portion of my savings to get that flat, my life was kind of moving around here (which is not that smart, I know, but easier said than done), and suddenly my relationship was over, just like that, from one moment to the next. All because of, or thanks to, that trip we were taking to Barcelona.
I know, I could and should’ve said something. But my mind was kind of broken, you know. I met that girl a couple of years after the failure of my previous relationship, which ironically ended for the same reason. She (my latest) knew this, and still… That happened. It took me a while to believe it, to take it on, and specially to move on. I didn’t really have the strength to come happily post about my kits, or to build any kits, or to even message or post someone here like “hey, sorry about all this, I’m not in the mood”. I’ve never been someone willing to bother anyone with my problems, even if they’re affecting other people somehow (f.e. @Wenbare expecting me to show up and build my kit there, which never happened). All of this may not be an excuse, and it’s not. But I guess you were looking for an explanation, and here you have it. Sorry, again and truly, for the ghosting made.
I’ll be more than happy to talk in private deeply about this with whoever needs it or wants it.
And well, I’ll also take this chance to showcase my latest creations that, obviously, you don’t know about.
First of all of course is the Titanic that I finally got to finish, as I’ve seen @jeanneL has done as well. It was fun build to say the least.
I was really happy of the result. The cord of lights was… Tricky to attach to the front of the ship due to the really tiny gap through which you need to hook it, but it does the job. The chimnets were also tricky yet fun to put together. It really is a wonder of a kit… Even when my red part of the hull remains “crooked”, but it’s not affecting the whole image so I’m not that bugged about it.
So Titanic is done! But if you remember, there were also two kits I was building or supposed to (the Bookstore Nook for my brother, and the 3D Airplane from the October Mistery Prize). Both are done as well
The Airplane was pretty straightforward, one piece of the main body of the plane almost broke since the parts of this kit are sooooo fragil, but it’s a quick and satisfying build. I’ve decided not to paint it in the end.
Last but not least, my first ever Book Nook! It was an interesting, longer than expected and challenging build in some ways. There were some things I wasn’t used to, such as:
- Tons of small wooden square-ish parts (books-to-be) you had to cover with stickers to made them look like tiny books. It was and interesting choice since most of those covers were not gonna be seen in the final product, but still, they’re there, which is cute
- Oh, the plants! I guess the “cut the proper piece of plastic plant and twist it into the tiny pot so it’ll fit and stay there” is the closest to the Super Creator kits I’m getting so far
- Not sure if it’s a common thing in those kind of kits, but there was a bag with parts from a different material (not sure how to describe it, or which material is it), I was supposed to build a rack and a box with it. The pieces would come together but fall apart as easily, so I kind of had to use glue on them
- Funny thing… I kind of freaked out once it was done because the lights weren’t working. At all. It took my a while to remember there was an on/off switch on the battery box…
Either way it was a fun and interesting build, and now I kind of want to build more Nooks so I can enjoy more of them at home. Because well, my relationship ended, but I kept the flat for myself 
See you/read you around, be good 
I’m so sorry about what happened to your relationship but I hope you feel better and okay now. You’re always welcome here to the community.
) and I found myself starting over about 11 years ago, but was blessed to find the love of my life almost 4 years ago. Relationships aren’t easy, and sometimes there’s a period of time that you’re wondering where your life is going and whether you’ll ever meet the right person. I can tell you that when the time is right, you’ll heal and the right person will indeed find you. Please know that you are cared about, even by people like me whom you’ve never met. Keep your head up and keep on being you. Prayers and hugs to you.
