I SEE RED!.. A few pics of my Ferraris

[jeru]

Here's a few shots of my completed Tamiya 360 and Enzo kits!
I'm a little rusty so they are nowhere near as good as some of the other Enzo's and Modena's I have seen on this board. I gotta hand it to Tamiya!,Their Italian Red is a perfect match to the actual Ferrari Red!

As you can tell I had a little trouble getting the rear seams on my Enzo to match up

And yes the Modena is mine! so I had a refrence to go by in the garage :

I can post some pics of my Die casts if anyone wants to see them!
Fire away .....I could use some criticism to help my model building.

I have an Revell F40 in progress ( man these kits are weak in the quailty department ) I got some carbon fiber sticker kits for it
It's turning out good so far.

nice models. and nice car. This needs to go in the Completed section of the forum tough. I am sure a mod will move it. Keep up the good work!

[blueboost]

jeru your models are perfect looking. you've got my interest in another aspect though, being that I am currently trying to make some changes with my life... what exactly does it take now a days to afford a 360... anotherwords, what do you do for a living? any advise for someone young and "not so wealthy"

[jeru]

Tough question...., My family started a business and built it up over a 20 year peroid, Then sold it before the market crashed. We got lucky...

The best advice I can give is "Be your own boss'. The guy at the top is the one who makes the money.

Also choose your career carefully,
E.G. I chose to be a web designer; they make an average of 30,000 - 40,000 per year. The problem is, That’s all I will ever be worth, Is 30,000 - 40,000 per year. The guy who is selling the websites is the one who will make the money off me, And so on. The smart thing is to go into business for you.

Another obvious this is to pick something people need!
Don’t become a typewriter repair guy when everyone knows typewriter’s are on their way out.

[blueboost]

LOL... typewriter repair guy...

well. I got a degree in network engineering and the only thing thats done for me is bless me with a +20K student loan and a job that don't pay enough to afford it LOL. I thought computers are where its at ya know... THANK YOU for the advise brotha. where are you at in FL?

[jeru]

I have put out 120 + resumes and no call backs
The Technology field will take some time to bounce back.

No Problem on the advice, Dont know how valuable it'll be for ya ..HeHe
Hell, ... Gives us more time to build plastic models!

I live near Boca Raton, ...It's hot as hell here!

[rcmaxx]

Jeru were in Boca are you at? I am in Boca too.

Lucky bastard!

Clean models, very clean.

Welcome to the model forum!

Nice Ferraris! I'm sure you'll pick up enough tips in here to make your 1/24 360 look just like your 1/1!! Most of us would die to have that kind of reference material...

And I'm sure we'd love to see progress pics of the F40, too!

[bah humbug]

I'm more interested in your car than your models!

Man you've got a ferrari in your garage. I wish I had one of those in my garages.

What do you do when people's heads turn to look at you?

[njh]

Nice Ferraris!
Even nicer than you have an actual 360

[jeru]

Thanks for the compliments.

The Modena is definately a hear turner. Everyone in the world wants to race, And you can't safely park it anywhere. Other than that It is a s**tload of fun

Hey blueboost my aunt just got a job working for a plant doing human resources. Now she told me that if u go to college (I'm not sure for how long I think she said maybe just 4yrs) and get a Civil Engineering degree that u can start working for the plant she works for u'll start off at like $75,000 a yr. and then after 3yrs go up to 150k a year. Which is extremely well off for around here seeing as how the average anaul income is less than $35K. (I live in a small town in Northeast LA, pop. lil over 12,000 I think.) However I think u can proably make more than this in larger citys.

I'm only 17 and I'm thinking about going into this field so I'm about to look at what classes I need to be taking before I go to college.

Anyway just thought I'd put in my 2 cents.
