Started building models again after a 25 year break. Enjoy warbirds, armor, muscle cars, and motorcycles. Began creating original model kits with 3D CAD and 3D printing to push my creativity.
Artist and graphic designer by trade. Minnesota born and raised farm kid.
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
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.
