How To ...
As I am able, I will add articles to this area of the site. Last updated 10/16/08.
T.S. Elliot once wrote, "Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal". I've always taken this advice to heart and as a result most of my building techniques are stolen from my favorite modelers, figure painters, and artists. I've been deeply influenced by the work of Earl Smallshaw, E. L. Moore, Lou Sassi, George Sellios and David Frary.
I've read every article and book that I could get into my hands. I've built lots of model structures. I don't try to reinvent the wheel, but every now and again I come up with an idea that works pretty well. Those ideas will appear here.
I have also started a line of laser cut kits. I will be adding tutorials for the kits as I release them
