StokeModels Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Hello all, I've been lurking around the forum for a while and thought I'd set up a profile and introduce myself. I'm based in Victoria, BC and have recently met a few local builders who are also on here, @Phildaupho, @Misha and @Steve H - there's probably a few more but I haven't connected those dots yet. I built models as a kid and for a short spell in my 30's but I've recently (2019) returned to the hobby and have been enjoying building again. I started building again as a nice, quiet hobby and it quickly became another creative outlet. To that end, I've jumped into 3D printing and am really enjoying the level of customization that it allows. I'll build pretty much anything I find interesting but I do tend to lean to European and Japanese cars with some American cars in there as well. Here's a few builds that cover the international spectrum: German: British: Italian: Japanese: And American: Thanks for looking and I'm looking forward to being on the forum. Martin. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phildaupho Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) Great to see you make an appearance on the forum from being a recent regular in the magazine [the last three issues - twice on the cover]. Your models really deserve to be posted Under Glass so more members can have a chance to see your outstanding builds and photography.

Steve H Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 This is EXCELLENT news! Welcome aboard Martin. First, congratulations on your recent magazine articles and covers. Even though I have seen that ‘30 Ford in person, it somehow looks even better in print. This is partly your photography, and part seeing it bigger for my failing eyes. Anyone not familiar with Martin’s craftsmanship is in for a real treat. Looking forward to seeing more of your amazing builds, along with the incredible photography. Cheers, Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JollySipper Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Level 3 must be what 'level' that Countach build is on....... as in "a whole 'nother level"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Some fantastic builds there. Very impressive work. Sorry about the snow, I sent some for my father and sister in Campbell River, guess it kinda overflowed. 🤨 If it's any consolation, it's pouring rain here in Fredericton NB tonight.🤨 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futile Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 From a fellow Victorian who doesn't expect to reach your level, um, ever - very impressive, especially that olive British beast. You're one of many here I hope to learn from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
