Project Rescue
History
My Scale Models
Ismael "the Corvette guy" Gonzalez
Welcome to my personal Scale Models page.
A very interesting story! In 2021, my sister found a huge tote bin full
of my stuff from our parent's house. It
was full of scale models I had built in my early twenties! Banging around in a bin for decades, of
course they were broken.
So I embarked in a wonderful journey: To restore these, but to the condition they
were when built. Not to rebuild or
improve on them. This is part of my
personal history and these take me back to the late 80's early 90's. When needed, parts were scratchbuilt to match
the missing or broken originals. There
are still two in process that require major work. I'll add those to this page once finished.
I called this: Project Rescue history
Here
is the bin as received
There
were about 20 aircraft models in various stages of disrepair
