At 1:72 scale

                    Since I was 5 years old, me and my father were always looking for World War things, such as films, books, etc. but one of those gave me entertainment from my childhood until today. There was a shop on the corner of one street on the center of Iquique, it was named "Venecia" in which sold real models at a minimalism scale, like 48 times smaller than the real one, with small pieces that you can paint and then stick with each other to form the airplane, tank, etc.

           There was me and my father temple's, like every weekend we went to it, buying different types of models, airplanes, tanks, ships, etc. But one day this shop closed, and became a jewelry shop, and there wasn't another place like that, were we could buy more of those lovely models. They were part of my childhood so I like them too much.

              
    Later like on 6th grade, one friend of mine had some toys, named "Lego" one of my favourite hobbies nowadays, just one thing prevent me of buying those toys, the price, a mini-figure costs around 6.000 Chilean pesos, like 20 pieces, nothing more, but the big ones are just amazing, like "The big Ben",4163 pieces just to be assembled by yourself, so it's like you and the Lego, nothing more, it's like you are focused on this, like puzzles, another hobby that I like.

    So hobbies makes me feel like I get of the world for a minute, or an hour, gives me fully distraction of the world, until I finish it, or the 50% of it. So I think that when I can buy airplane models, I will be happy again, because there is one shop on Santiago, that sells them, my new temple "Mirax" located on the Apumanque. I don't think that another hobby will be better than this ones, for me.
