Great find! I have a JMC tractor-trailer and it is beautifully done, never had his home page or email address. Great addition to Z. Looking forward to purchasing some from him.
Thanks,
John

I want to thank Kelley for letting me know about this Z scale community.
Glad to know that my models are appreciated.
I started to scratching cars and small dioramas in Z scale, about 6 years ago and I used to sell them on ebay. I work not only with Z scale, but also with N, TT, HO and 1/72 scales. But my favorite scale I must confess is 1/100. Don't ask me why!... I know it seems strange. Because nobody collects or models in 1/100 scale... I think the fact of a modeler friend of my father have offered me a large ship blueprints in 1/100 scale, when I was 13, can explain why I became an enthusiast of everything that is 1/100-related.
But I really enjoy doing such tiny models.
Here are my latest works:
Hope you like it.
Cheers,
JMC

Outstanding! A much needed White 3000 Cabover Tractor!!! Thanks for the email yesterday. Please add two of these to my order in whatever colors you'd like to paint them.
Yours,

I know you are an artist, and you do a great job painting these. I was just wondering if would also be interested in selling unpainted ones? I have been looking for those rounded truck trailers but for a particular company for instance. This could be done with decals.
You do fabulous work with your paint jobs and detail work. I am sure they will sell well, but I am sure if you offered some raw unpainted cars, that they would sell well too.
Welcome to the Z world, we are very greatfull to have you.

I am open to suggestions/ideas of new vehicles (cars, trucks, buses, special vehicles, military vehicles, etc...).
What vehicles would you like to see in Z scale?
Cheers,
Joao

Victoria with chrome band over the roof- not sure of year, in the fifties. I'm sure you will get a lot of suggestions.

Thanks for the nice suggestions, Fred.Fred wrote: Ford Crown Victoria with chrome band over the roof- not sure of year, in the fifties.
I think I've found it. I was searching on web and noticed that the chrome band on Crown Victoria was only used between 1955 and 1956.
Found on 'oldcarbrochures.com':

Thanks John, that's an interesting model to do.Dashing Dan wrote: A Greyhound Scenicruiser bus would be fantatic and fill an much needed gap in Z scale.
By the way, I recall have seen a scratchbuilt Scenicruiser in Z scale on web. Its detail level was impressive. Unfortunately, I can't remember the website on which I found it...

That was done by Álvaro Cortes who also lives in Portugal. He doesn't have a web site. Check out: www.trainboard.com/grapevine/showthread.php?88980-%C1lvaro-Cortes-Garage

Álvaro is a fantastic artist! I own several of this autos (pieces of art) and just ordered some more from him. You can find Álvaro’s latest releases at: www.trainboard.com/grapevine/showthread.php?139485-New-Z-scale-cars&highlight=%C1lvaro
Since you produce model vehicles in all scales then I recommend you also join TrainBoard.com www.trainboard.com/grapevine/content.php
Yours,
