Mom's 1/48 Academy P-38
This build is a tribute to my late mother and is not representative of any P-38 that actually flew. However, I did steal the nose work idea from Richard Bongs' P-38. Years ago when I started building models again mom asked me if I would [...]
C-97 "ANGEL of DELIVERANCE."
Minicraft made a very nice 1/144th scale "C-97 STRATOFREIGHTER" model, which had next to no flashing on any of the kit parts.

Academy XB-70 VALKYRIE JET AIRPLANE
I finished building this model in March of 2012, then I took it to the next model meeting. One question came up and some guys wanted to know why I painted it "Pink?" I replied by saying: "I found a photo of the real jet on [...]
Tamiya 1/20 scale 1997 Ferrari F110B Schumacher
This little race car is a great little model and a wonderful kit. I got to take this actual (real) car up the hill at Goodwood last year and as a tribute I wanted to build a model of it! It was great having the actual car available to me [...]
Monogram Apollo 11 vintage kit build
This Apollo 11 build was a commission build for AirBus in France and quite the challenge! I used a vintage Monogram 1/48th scale kit from 1970 and it is not very good. I basically scratch built everything using the included parts as a [...]

Accurate Miniature's went all out on this kit by making a whole bunch of parts that fit very nicely. I went step by step putting each section of parts together, like the top turret, lower gun emplacement, radio area and of course the [...]
