Hello,

I am a life long artist, designer and former Hasbro toy designer from Rhode Island. I build models professionally and I build just about anything! Modeling is my passion!

You can follow me for daily model updates on TikTok where I am known as "The Pope of Plastic".

I/48 scale Tamiya King Tiger

Not much to say except I love these little Tamiya 1/48 scale Tamiya armor kits, although the tracks were confusing on this one, other than that I built her in 12 hours. This is a fun camo pattern to do.

1/24 Scale Spitfire kit by Airfix

Well, this was a project for my 36th model of the year. The big 1/24th scale Spitfire by Airfix. I had high hopes for this kit after hearing rave reviews over and over "this is the best kit ever!" was one thing I heard...a [...]

1/32 scale AH1 Cobra

Here is my latest, the 1/32 scale Air Cobra by ICM. ICM sent me this kit to build, I had never built an ICM kit before and I have to say it was great, only negative was the thin decals but other than that the molding is terrific, no flash, [...]

Porsche GT by Tamiya

My 34th model of the year. I just tied my record for models built in one year with 4 months yet to go. This id a good kit but BEWARE of the decals, if you don’t like doing complex decals then stay away from this kit, otherwise it’s [...]

1/12 scale Renault F1 car kit by Tamiya

Well here is another completed build. A Renault in 1/12 scale. Don’t let the packaging fool you, these are vintage Tamiya kits with some pathetic photoetched thrown in. Beware that these kits were manufactured before the computer age and [...]

1/48 scale Bristol kit by Eduard

I love Eduard more and more, especially their WW1 aircraft. Great detail, great instructions and plenty of options. This Bristol is a challenging build, especially when it comes to rigging. If you haven’t done rigging before, this [...]

1/8th scale Norton GP Bike vintage kit from 1970 by Protar

Well, this is a terrible kit with even worse instructions. Somehow I managed to get it together, I’m actually shocked it’s built. My 29th customer build of the year. I did this to look as if it was found in a barn, so I could hide [...]
