Model Cars
(Non-Corvettes)
My Scale Models
Ismael "the Corvette guy" Gonzalez
Welcome to my personal Scale Models page.
This section is dedicated to Non-Corvette
models of cars ranging from road cars,
to racing, to the occasional pickup trucks and motorcycle. Will try to divide these into logical groups
for easier navigation. Some of these
models were built as far back as the 1980's. Many models built prior to that
have not survived. You can also see the
dramatic change in the quality of the pictures. From 35mm print scans to my
first digital camera with 0.3 Megapixels, all the way up to today's DSLRs. I get to combine 2 passions: Scale Models and
Photography. They have both grown with me and continue to do so. Many of these models are patiently waiting to
be re-photographed so this is a constant work in progress. Several will be repeated in more than one
section as they really fit more than a single description. The plan is to eventually have a dedicated
page for each model. Some already have and you will see the message "
Click on the image for more pictures and a
detailed description".
Again, a constant work in progress.
Click on each picture for more details and additional images. (UNDER CONSTRUCTION)
