Greetings from Québec Canada

[François]

Hello, my name is François,  I'm an almost 60 frenchy from Québec. Back in the 70's and 80's, I used to do a lot on models, cars, trucks, formula... At 21, I decided to try my hand at a wooden boat. It went great until I meet my wife 6 months later(we are still married!)but lets say that the boat building wasn't my priority anymore. I set it aside for 38 years!! I finally finished it last july. Since then, I did a WW1 1/16 scale plane, a fully scratch built 1/16 scale sail boat( a reproduction of a 24 footer that I actually built for a friend in 2012), and a 1/8 scale scratch built wooden kayak. Why am I interested in a car model forum you might ask? Well after the kayak,  I decided to a build 1/12 scale Bentley blower.  And after some Web searching, stumbled on a wip of one of your members, John Teresi,  of a blower build. I was pretty impressed with the reasult. But before starting a somewhat complex projet as the blower (a lot of modifications/details to add) and since it had been many years since my last plastic car model,  I decided to try my hand at the Italeri  1/12 scale Alfa Romeo 8c 2300. It's now done am I'm now starting the bentley.  Well that's it for my winded intro. Where should I post my build log for this project, any particular section? Can I add links to the photo galeries of my different projects ? If so, where?

Thank you

Hello Francois. Sounds like you have lots of varied experience. Your Bently project sounds cool, looking forward to seeing it. You could post your Bently build in the 'WIP: Model Cars' section, or if it is specifically a race car, you could post it in the 'WIP: Other Racing' section. I am unsure about adding links to the photo gallery, someone else will have to field that question. Looking forward to seeing your projects. Cheers.

I checked the links in post. Your Alfa is magnificent and the work you have completed on your Bentley is very impressive. I am looking forward to seeing more. I have just come across your WIP posts so you are well on your way to becoming a regular.

Welcome Francois.

I too had a look at the pictures for your Bentley and Alfa Romeo builds - fabulous, magnificent, and inspiring. Every picture is full of detail and closer I looked the more I saw.

cheers, Graham ( half way between Montreal and Ottawa )
