| "Modelman" You have seen his incredible work posted on various offroad forums over the
years. Dave has such an amazing talent for creation, something that you do not see very
often. I thought I was amazed with just the vehicles then he showed me pictures of
backgrounds and garages he has done as well. I hope one day I have a vehicle worthy of his
building! Here is a little bio on Dave and some of his work.
Name:
Dave Baldwin AKA "Modelman"
Hometown: Santa Barbara now Fallbrook
Age: 32, Married with 2 children
When did you start building models?
Off and on since I was about 10 years old.
Why did you decide building models was for you?
I guess It would have to be back when my family would go to all the races. You see
all the cool race cars , The next thing was you wanted to have a few toys of them, well
for the people who wanted them they couldn't cause there was nothing made . I started
making models to match the teams I watched race . I guess thats how it all started...The
first drivers to get my models was , Larry Ragland , Rob Mac Cachren, Roger Means, just to
name a few.
How much do these beauties cost?
Price's very . With people now casting parts it makes the prices go down a bit. But I have
had close too $200.00 into a single model . It boils down to parts and works like this.
Just say you like the seats out of a rally car kit ? That kits $23.00 , you now have seats
. Next is tires that kits $13.00 and you only get 4 tires so you buy another kit for your
extra tires + $13.00 , See that how it all adds you. But the average cost for say a
prerunner is around $300.00.
