Welcome to my internet pages, where a selection of the models I have made is displayed. Hopefully of interest to prospective clients, friends and other modellers: on these pages there should be something for everyone. In due course I hope to update the site as models are finished - maybe not every one, but ones which add variety or hold more of a personal connection.

All my clients' models are made strictly to commission, using scratch-building, etched kits, or a combination of these where appropriate. An extensively equipped workshop enables me to turn, machine or master almost any part. In special instances a new design is etched when this will save time, effort and result in a higher quality end product: design, layout and artwork are undertaken solely by me. Based on this, the client may specify exactly what they wish for without fear of restriction.

Amongst others, influences and inspirations include the work of: - Martin Finney, Stephen Harris, John Hayes, Paul Karau, Tony Reynalds, Prof. Tim Watson, Chris Wesson, Guy Williams, the institution of Pendon (mind expanding of course!), all preserved steam and Wild Swan Publications.
