José Luis Lopez Ruiz is born in Madrid (Spoin) in 1971, married with two children and living at Las Rozas, Madrid. Although
during his childhood he made a lot of models (collateral effect of being the son of a modeler) of anything he was able to make
[airplanes, tanks, sci-fi, ships...), he started making kits in a serious way in 2008 when he started to find many modelling websites and magazines and his interest about this hobby increased exponentially... also when his work as a Civil Engineer decreased
exponentially due to the economic crisis... he need to have my head occupied !
His inspiration was Luciano Rodriguez, a great modeler and a really nice and endearing friend as well as the Tenerife's Rat Pack.... a funny and really spécial group of modelers always ready to talk about anything but models!
José Luis is now one of the most famous and respected modeler in the world, thanks to the introduction of his own technique, the
blackandwhite. He often participes to modelling démonstrations and is regularly published in military modelling magazines
