Nice Fire trucks-- Yup- He should join ZCS and post some pictures. Good Find.

Kelley,

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

Hi everyone,
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

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,

John Bartolotto

Thanks John. I'm happy to hear that.
As Kelley has referred previously, I've got other vehicles which are still in the painting process (hence their bad looking) and, so they were not posted yet on my blog.










Cheers,
Joao

These models do look great. I especially need a couple of the old time school buses.
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.
Kelley

Thank you, Kelley.
I can also sell these vehicles unpainted.

Cheers,
Joao

I would love to buy a few of your cars. The 1959 Chevy for a start. What else do you have that is
for sale? Youy work is great. Let me know.

Thanks Kin.
Yes, they are for sale.
Would you like them unpainted or already painted?

Cheers,
Joao

Hi everyone,
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

Hi Joao-- I'd like to see a 1955 Ford Thunderbird convertable- a 1957 Thunderbird hard top--a Ford Crown
Victoria with chrome band over the roof- not sure of year, in the fifties. I'm sure you will get a lot of suggestions.

Joao,

A Greyhound Scenicruiser bus would be fantatic and fill an much needed gap in Z scale.

Thanks for the nice suggestions, Fred.
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.
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...

Cheers,
Joao

Joao,

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

John

Thanks John. Yes, that's it. His models are impressive.
Found something about his work:

Joao,

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,

John
