Not a ‘Fury’
Started in 2018 after a good friend realised he just wouldn't be able to 'do it justice', he also included the Legend resin stowage set - which is huge !. Build began in October that year, then I put it to one side in early 2019 to pick-up [...]
1/144th Revell SpaceShip Two & White Night Two.
A real treat it was to find this model for sale at my hobby shop. I forgot what it cost, but I did not care as I wanted it. None of the parts had hardly any flashing and the instructions were very easy to follow.
One photo show's the [...]
A 1/25th AMT/ERTL 1961 FORD STARLINER/GALAXIE CAR CONVERSION.
My long life high school friend Edward ask me to build a replica model car and make it look like the real car that he owned. I said yes, because every time I came down to the "GoodGuys" yearly car show in Scottsdale, Arizona I [...]

1932 Ford Street Rod

1/48 Scale F7F-Tigercat
Sometime in the early 1990's I met up with "Pylon Dave Jone's" who lived in Oklahoma/U.S.A. Dave sent me over 500 color 3-1/2" x 5" prints. I scanned in all of the photos, including several black and white prints then [...]
1/48 scale Monogram's AH-64 "APACHE ATTACH CHOPPER"
Sometime in mid 1990 a guy call's me on the phone and say's: "I'll pay you five grand to build me a 1/48 scale Apache Helicopter." I was a bit "flabbergasted-gasted" but I said I will do it. He sent me a package in the [...]
