it's been a month...

[yelo]

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.


here's my lancer evo V out of box project


this one is my first attempt at openning a door on a model, i also had some engine detail (not much). it was plan to be put it in a diorama stuck in the sand dune but i just never finish it


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.

somewhere in time i build this unimog from the dakar rally, almost oob again


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


well that's it for now. more to come in this tread later.

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.

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.

[RallyRaider]

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.

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.
