Patricio Gonzalez
Arequipa, Perú
Patricio built his USS Repose from the 1950s Revell he’d inherited from his grandfather. He cut dozens of tiny blue cardboard squares to make windows, shaded the rails and details with watercolor, and used styrene and fine thread for the rigging. Patricio adds that after 60 years, the plastic was brittle and fragile, but the decals responded very well.
