A bit about me

I have been a model builder for over 40 years. I got into the hobby as a teenager building model kits of cars, planes and ships. My main interest rested with ships, and after years of building kits and kit bashing, in 1987 I scratch built my first all plastic scale model. I found it a most rewarding challenge and decided that my hobby would now be scratch building in plastic.

Although scale model building is primarily a hobby I have on occasion sold some of my work and taken commissions to do certain projects. It is very gratifying that over the years the level of workmanship has reached a level where it is requested by others. Some of my work is now in the hands of private owners, manufacturers and military departments.

Although model ships is my preference I enjoy the challenge of varying subjects as can been seen on this website.

Although polystyrene plastic card has been slow in acceptance, certainly in model ship field, the last few years has certainly brought it out to forefront as a building material. There is no denying the amount of detail that can be accomplished with polystyrene and is limited only by ones imagination.

The wonder of the internet has not only allowed one to promote their own work, but it has provided a great avenue to share that work with others of the same interest. After enjoying the many other sites that exist on scale modeling I hope this will also help in promoting scratchbuilding in plastic.
