I pride myself in creating models with limited resources using innovative techniques that cater to both kit and scratch modellers. My interest is anything automotive, my enthusiasm is pre-1940, and my passion is racing and record breakers. I have been making model cars since Airfix introduced 1/32 scale injection molded plastic kits in the 1950s, some of which I still have but most of which were unsatisfactory to me, lacking scale details, and requiring "adjustment".
I returned to kit modelling a generation later, the kits had improved in detail but still did not satisfy my need for scale detailing. A couple of these kits had to wait until my retirement by which time I had developed the skills to make them what I needed them to be.
With these skills I was now able to scratch build cars that really interested me and were not available in any kit form. My tools were limited but I was able to add to them over the years and I developed sources and techniques to achieve my goals. My biggest resource was now the internet where I could find photos and information about any car, and find sources of materials to build my models.
What is displayed on this site is the result of a lifetime's work of learning how to build miniature version of cars I could not afford or access, or that no longer existed, but that really interested me from a historical or a design perspective. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I have enjoyed building them.
