Two weeks ago I went to Jabbeke’s model car show “On The Road”. I met lots of great guys over there and I dare to ask some of them if they would agree with taking pictures of their models on my gas station. They are all really friendly guys, so they accepted.
The cars were great and I was sure, setting a scene with their cars on the gas station would only enhance their great models. Here you have a few pictures.
I also wanted to take pictures of an other friend of mine, from France, Zelkam. He builds great station wagons. But as I went to look for him on sunday I couldn’t find him. Maybe next year!
Cars by Mike, from Germany.
Mike is a very friendly guy who builds great hot rods, specially rat rods. His models are mind blowing. The engine details are not from this world, and his imagination seems to be endless! Also, he has a great sense of humor!
Check out his cars:
Cars by Erik, from The Netherlands.
Erik is a great model builder. When it comes to airbrush, he knows what he’s talking about. Check out the true fire airbrush job and the high polish finishing on each vehicle. He had a great collection of cars, most of them in 1/25 scale. Now he is working on a few big scale projects among others. I can’t wait to see those projects finished! If you want to see more of his work, just check his website.
No more words, just check the pictures:
Cars by Heiko, from Germany.
Heiko is a ver experienced model builder with a special attention to detail when it comes to engines. His work is great and the variety of models is astonishing. Bel Airs are among my favorite cars, and he had just built two of a them, in a mild custom look. A ’55 and a ’56 Bel Air. Orange is also one of my favorite colors. So I had to take a few pics of this cars!
Truck by Luc, from The Netherlands.
Luc was sitting next to me during the show. He has a passion for trucks, specially Scania. The amazing thing is that he just build a vintage Scania, the same model that my grandpa used to have. This truck bring lots of great memories to me.
What I also love about those old trucks are the very simple color combinations. Plain red, white and black. Less is more!
I enjoyed watching the video of the big model show.Some truly amazing model on display!I noticed there were some small Vespa motor scooters on some the scenes.where can I find those?Are they 1/25 scale?I have a project planned that would require the scooters and would appreciate any information.Thanks for your help!
