cruz Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 I am going to post some of my work on this theme. I am also posting some work done by one of my favorite Puerto Rican modelers, Carlos de Jesus, ( sorry Izzy, you are not the only favorite in my list) I am very proud of the work done by my compatriots in the Island and hopefully they can help me in adding more stuff onto this thread!!!! You will see some drag stuff as well as just the regular Import cars seen on the streets of the Island and the PR's living out here in the States!!!! This is Carlos de Jesus' little beast, this guy is awesome!!!! More stuff from Carlos!!!

Nick F40 Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Cruz....holy......these are insnae!! I love em all, That Bug is simply wicked and the Blue Corolla is even cooler Puerto Rico, never seizes to amaze me!
ismaelg Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Here are a few pictures from last year's show. Unfortunately I don't have the names of all the builders. Jose Madera Carlos De Jesus (one of my favorite builders) Daniel Gabriel Jimmy "Volkswagen" This year's show is next weekend! Can't wait to be there! Thanks,
Nick F40 Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Jose Madera Carlos De Jesus (one of my favorite builders) Daniel Gabriel Jimmy "Volkswagen" I've never seen such cleaner models and that Integra is off the hook!!
RodneyBad Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) Too Many!! ###### Awesome Rides. I Honestly couldn't pick out a Favorite one. It's like Carlos got all the cool Import cars Nailed Okay, Maybe one. Thanks for sharing. Edited October 1, 2008 by Zukiholic
cruz Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 Cool, nice stuff, thanks Izzy for the replies!!!!!
MrObsessive Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Fellas, I've seen this car in person when I was in Puerto Rico a couple years ago. Pics don't do it justice! This car has to be seen in person to be believed!
carrucha Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Thanks for sharing some very good models. carrucha
MrObsessive Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Here's a pic of Carlos de Jesus (sitting) at a little get together we had in Puerto Rico a couple years ago. In the pic is Rogelio (can't remember his last name ) Miguel Barbosa (green shirt), and myself holding the 'Vette. You can see his Bug and some of his other builds that were there............ Carlos does fantastic work and he's also very humble about it! I think Roberto Fanfan took this pic as it came originally from his Fotki.............he brought some fantastic models that day too!
Nick F40 Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I'll most likely get some more along with the Subaru, '93 Civic, Golf Mk2, and 320i (E21). Nice ones, and yes please!

We certainly had a good time down there!!! Sigh............yeah Bro, as starts to get cold here in the northeast, I'd like to get back there more than ever! I dread this winter coming up with this high heating oil! GSL is coming up in May------so this winter is definitely out.........maybe late next fall or winter to get back there for a week or two!
