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 the Honda RA272 F1 car driven to victory in the Mexico GP in 1967. This little Tamiya kit was built for an upcoming feature in Magneto Magazine.
This is a fun little kit and great for someone who wants to take a stab at a vintage [...]
Here is an oldie but a goody of a kit, the 1/35th scale German HANOMAG kit by Tamiya from 1973. Last time I built this kit was probably around 1978, brought back a lot of memories from my early model building days.
Easy build with crappy [...]
Wow, this was some kind of kit. RFM apparently is actually a Trumpeter from what I can tell, the dead give away is the instructions, which made this kit a challenge to say the least. No real instructions on how to assemble the photoetched [...]
I did this little Sherman tank as a build along live on my YouTube channel. My fans bought the kit and built along with me from start to finish in 8 hours! It was a lot of fun and I think they all learned some great basic modeling skills! [...]
Not your normal model kit! I’ve been looking for this kit since I saw it in the 1970’s! A holy grail for me, and now I’ve built it. Not a hard kit, but lots of gaps and filler needed. I’m SO happy I have finally built one!
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.
I have been building models professionally for about 10 years and by far this was the biggest challenge! HORRIBLE fit issues, [...]
