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".

Here is my first build of 2025! The Pontiac GTO "Barn Find" for a customer in Ohio.
This is an old Monogram kit, not the best, not the worst, pretty straight forward build, this build is all about the barn find look. I imagined [...]
Here is my final build for 2024, the Ferrari P4 Berlinetta as raced at Lemans, 44 models in total, my new record! 44 models sent to customers around the world including Scotland, England, Poland, Argentina and all over the USA! Hopefully [...]
Well what can I say? Hands down the best 1/32 scale kit I have ever had the pleasure to build. FINALLY a kit with absolutely zero flaws! Yes they are expensive kits (around 150.00 -200.00) but they should be twice that cost. The [...]
Lordy what a project this was! The big 1/8 scale kit of the McLaren M23 as driven by James Hunt by Entex.

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 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
Hello all,
This is my 32nd model of the year, the 1/48 scale Tiger 1 by Tamiya. These are great kits and usually go together with zero issues, perfect kits for the first time modeler. I always do all of my building live on Tiktok daily, if [...]
