it's been a month...

well i'm in here for a little more than a month and i realize i never introduce myself properly, so here it is:

real name is René, in from a little towm close to Québec city canada and my main interest in modeling is rally cars, but i'm into all kind of motorsport. i also do some tuner cars 'caus it's kind of motorsport related. i agree i'm not the best of modeler's but i do pull myself out of the lot with my work. i build mostly out of box models by choice 'cause i hate to spend year on the same model and i don't have much time to model

i'm also one of the founding member of my model club (Club modéliste-Québec) and i'm part of the team who put together our local model show in october (this year october 15, 2006).

i hope you like my work, please keep in mind that some of those where built almost ten year ago when i was begining in the hobby.

this one is a replica of my very first model, i find a seconde one and rebuild it after loosing the other one in a little mishapes.

then i build this one, a corolla WRC, in fact there was some model in betwen each but not worty to be shown. i bought a PE set for this one when i had almost finish so i didn't put it in.http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e283/yelobike/toyotacorrolaWRC.jpg

on this one i did my first major conversion from street to race. it's a rally car owned by an american whose name is William Bacon and he raced it in north american rally championship. i built two of those the other one i sell to him, he intend to keep it as a reminder of the only race car he could afford

Great job with the Corolla WRC,I know from building it myself it can be a tricky kit to decal,but you have done a superb job on it.I love the Unimog it's something different and I really like it.Keep up the good work and I hope to see more models from you.Steve.:grinyes:

Well, since i never said hi, hello and welcome. nice cars.

Nice cars, especially the Unimog.

Those are some pretty unique builds you've got there, the Peogeot is pretty nice :)

actually it's a revell kit with scratch build race int. and my own cast wheels and tires (15"type-r wheel and yokohama A032R tires, just like the real one)

the paint is from tamiya and is racing white (TS-7)

Hi,

I'm also from Québec...I live near Montréal.
Do you have a web site for your "Club modéliste-Québec" ?

Welcome, the models do look good! Les Quebecois parlent Français, non?

Oui je parles français! :)
Mais à montréal beaucoup de gens parlent français et anglais.

Great collection of models, thanks for sharing them with us.

Since the weight is towards motorsports subjects, I'll move this thread to the Completed and In-Progress - Motorsports forum. :)

sorry we don't have a web site but where looking into it. where a small club so not much fund for that kind of thing. we may know each other if you attend shows around montreal. next one on my list is trois riviere in a couple weeks.

thanksfor the interest, yelo

i put my tread in the general section because i have some tuner to show also, just didn't have time to post them the other time. i agree that most of them are race models though.

well here's another batch of my models:

this was my first attempt at a tuner car. it was motivated by a special theme for a model show i go every year, it was sport compact and limited to 4 and 6 cylinder engine cars. about the same time i saw a magasine with a V8 powered ford focus and i decided to do that, later i found that it was limited to 4 and 6 cyl. engine. the engine is from an R32 skyline from tamiya and the focus is a rally one from tamiya also. it still have the awd drive train and part of the rollcage.

this one is my second tuner/first drifter model. since i put the engine from the R32 into the focus, i decide to use the fenders and quarter panel of it to widdened the 240SX you see here. i also add the fron bumper cover to the car. the rear wing is part SAS, part spare box and the wheels are actually two set of fujimi combined and the tire of the revell fast and furious supra.

in the not so serious project, i build this one for another shows special theme ,
this time it was the red truck (any question??) it's a 30 something pick up with a top full engine, scratch build suspension, axle and wheels from the mad mudder kit. i build it from parts i had left over from other project in a month.
