Welcome to my model car page! To the left are links to each page of models, from American cars like the Corvette, to foreign cars like Mercedes and Jaguar.
ABOUT JONELLE...
People always ask me how a female such as myself got into the model car hobby. I blame most of it on the fact that when I was a little girl, someone bought me a Matchbox car instead of a Barbie doll. From that point on, I have been into cars on many levels, from collecting diecasts to owning a full size 1974 AMC Javelin.
I started building models for fun as a kid, then about 10 years ago started to take the hobby seriously. Whenever possible, I try to use reference photos while building, which is why I still have every car magazine I've acquired since I was a kid! I try to be as accurate as I can with the skills I have, and pick up new ones as I go along.
But I also have a confession to share. I have not built in a long time. A few years ago I started to suffer Modeller's Burnout. It seemed no matter how hard I tried, I was not satisfied with my results, even after winning three awards at the MASSCAR model show and competition here in Massachusetts. The lack of interesting kits available didn't help, either.
I hope to build again, but in the meantime I am getting into model trains, N scale to be exact. I have not yet decorated my own locomotive or boxcar, but have started to build a few N scale structure kits. Will this help get my creativity flowing once more?? We shall see...
