Canadian Flag An Introduction...

I've been building scale models for more than 20 years now and felt that it was about time I give back to a hobby I really enjoy. My medium is "braille scale" - 20/25/28 mm, 1/76th, 1/72nd, 1/350th, HO, and HO/OO scales. I'll build/paint almost anything historical - figures, vehicles, planes, and ships. I also dabble a little with fantasy figures when I can find the time. 

I plan to display a large part of my collection (including some competition pieces) as well as discuss special projects and tips that I have learned over the years.  I don't profess to know it all - far from it!  I only want to add to the knowledge and possibly pick up some new techniques from amateurs and veterans alike. Drop me a line with comments, suggestions, and ideas about my "Mo"deling web pages.

These web pages are best viewed using the font types indicated at the bottom of each page. I tried to use common fonts that I know are delivered as part of the Windows ME and XP operating systems but unfortunately not all computers are created equal. Please insure that the indicated fonts (or equivalents) are installed  for optimal viewing. Contact me if the pages are still unreadable. Enjoy!

News to the Bench!  07/04/03  New Pics

It has been quite sometime since I last updated these pages. Need to get back in the game!

There is going to be a new look to this site as I replace some of the original pictures with images from my new Nikon Coolpix 4500 digital camera. I LOVE this camera - it is literally made for model builders as it specializes in taking those tricky macro shots that can cause a lot of grief. I am so impressed that I am planning to add my own digital page on this site dedicated to what I learn while using this camera. Fantastic, highly recommended, and well worth the investment if you like showing off your creations!
