f1fan Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Hello everyone, I've been building models off and on for over 30 years. The past 10 years I've gotten more serious about it. I started out building Modified Stock Cars from scratch for alley racing. They were pretty crude creations. Made with plastic coated wire and a hot glue gun! Over the years I learned a lot of good stuff from Magazines (such as Model Cars) and modelers of all skill levels. I am an automotive paint tech by trade and love cars. Most of my subjects are race cars and Ferraris. I like building mostly 1/20th and 1/25th scale. Recently I built my first 1/43rd scale kit. A Tameo kit, which was easier to build then I thought it would be. It helps when the kit is engineered right. Here is a pic of it completed. Thanks for looking, Jere Quallio Edited May 26, 2013 by f1fan
Danno Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Welcome to the MCM Forum, Jere!!! You forgot to tell everyone that your builds are just killer!!!
f1fan Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 Hey D.B. Thanks for the compliment . I didn't realize you thought that way about my stuff.
Mooneyzs Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Welcome Jere and Hello from Gilbert!! Nice work on the 1/43rd. I have a few 1/43rd kits and they can be addicting. Looking forward to seeing more of your builds.
Danno Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Hey D.B. Thanks for the compliment . I didn't realize you thought that way about my stuff. You've got to be kidding, right? No mistake about it, gang, Jere knocks them out of the park! You should see his sprint cars!
f1fan Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 Hey Guys, Thanks !! Mark, Your builds are really good. I had the pleasure of judging them at DSC. I had a hard time picking between the two.
Modelbuilder Mark Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Thanks Jere! I appreciate that. There are a lot of great builders here in the valley and surrounding areas, and I just try to plug along.
