Started building models again after a 25 year break. Enjoy warbirds, armor and muscle cars.

1:25 John Deere 40203D Scratch Built

The legendary 4020 was born in 1963 and it’s safe to say a love affair began with many farmers that burns as hot today as it did when they first saw black smoke roll out of the muffler. The 4020 was, and still is, one of those [...]

Last of the V8 Interceptors-American Style

When I was a kid there was just something cool about Mad Max. Not that it was a great movie but it was so different it was like watching something from a different world. Something forbidden. And then when the Road Warrior came out I was a [...]

1:8 Excelsior-Henderson Super X3D Scratch Built

About a year ago I had an idea to scratch build an Excelsior-Henderson Super X. Reason being—a model of one doesn’t exist and I worked at E-H in the late 90s and have always wanted to own one. While the real bikes are out there and not [...]

1:35 M19 Tank Transporter & D7 Military Dozer

This build has been a long time in the making. For years I’ve wanted to honor my grandfather’s service during World War II but have been unable to locate an AutoCar heavy truck model which he’s standing by in the photo. I know there [...]

1:48 Tamiya F4U-1D Corsair, VF-84, White 167Jim Sullivan GB

I bought this kit for $10 at a model show and just had it sitting around for a rainy day. Well, we haven’t had a rainy day in Minnesota since May so I opted to use it for this group build. I wish I had something more unique to offer, but [...]

1:1 Star Wars DL-44 Heavy Blaster - 3D Print

When I was seven years old Han Solo was indeed the coolest cat in the entire galaxy. Therefore I just had to BE him after seeing Star Wars. And God-love my dad who spent the afternoon building me a “Han Solo” blaster. His good eye [...]

1:48 Eduard P-51 Mustang & FW-190 Dogfight Diorama

Prior to the whole pandemic kerfuffle I had an idea to build a dogfight diorama. I purchase the two Eduard Profi-PACK kits back in 2020 and promptly put them on the shelf until the time was right. After a little research I knew the Mustang [...]

1:25 Moebius Batman Tumbler

For this build I wanted to step away from my comfort zone and experiment a bit. I enjoy the Christopher Nolan “Dark Knight” trilogy and the re-imagined Batmobile, the Tumbler. What a bada** vehicle. I found a Bane version (molded in [...]

Fear the Bones. 1/48 Fighters of the Jolly Rogers Squadron

One of the most documented Naval fighter squadrons in all of the modeling world, I give you my builds of the vaunted Jolly Rogers. In the history of the "Bones" five squadrons have used either the designation VF-84 or the name [...]

Harley-Davidson Sportster – 1:9 Testors/Lincoln Mint

My senior year in high school I fell in love with the design of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Partly because I had a group of older friends that all rode Harleys. They included me in their group and of course I had to have one. My first [...]
