I've been building models professionally since the late 80s. Although all of these are for my own personal collection, I've done work Lockheed and more than a dozen high-profile museums around the world...doing everything from prototypical work to 9' long cruise ship models...if they pay me, I'll build anything. Everything you see here is 1/32 scale, most are from kits, some are heavily modified.

Herrman Graf's 109G-6
Ira Kepford's F-4U Corsair
Ernst Duilberg's Bf-109G-6 from III./JG27, Greece, April '43
601 Sqd. Spitfire XIV. This started life as a MkV and I did the conversion to a Griffon Engine.
Rudel's Ju-87G-2. Beautiful kit from Hasegawa
1/24 P-51D from the old Airfix kit. Heavily modified, this model was built for a friend of mine, Lt. Cal Spann, who flew with the Tuskegee Airmen.
Another 1/24 kit, the Trumpeter Fw-190D-9. This aircraft flew with Stab./JG301 and was lost in February of '45 .
An Australian P-40E, using the Hasegawa kit as a starting point. Markings are all custom painted, no decals on this puppy.
The ultimate clown car - Hasegawa's Ki-61. This has a scratchbuilt interior and functional flaps.
Special Hobby's Bell P-39D Airacobra. The best cockpit I've ever done is inside.
Remember Revell? They make some amazing kits now, this is their He-162.
An old Doyusha A6M2 Zero. Tons of work to bring this up to modern standards, including new cockpit, new engine, and more than 1100 rivets.
Hobbycraft's Sea Fury - a basic kit at best.
21st Century Toys released some of their models as actual kits. This is their Macchi 205.
Herrman Graf's Fw-190A-5 Special. Nose is all custom painted.
Another 21st Century kit - the Macchi 202. These are basic kits at best, but some scratchbuilding and panel line rescribing make them good second-row models.
Armor - my scale of choice is 1/16, I prefer the big stuff...
This is Trumpeter's 1/16 T-34/85. It has a full interior, working suspension, etc...
This is a 1/16 Tiger I late. It started life as a Tamiya Early Tiger I, but I basically tossed everything except the hull and turret. New tracks, road wheels, idlers, turret roof, gun mantlet, cupola, etc.
One of the biggest models I've ever done - this is a mostly-scratch 1/6 scale Jagdpanzer IV/L70. The model is metal, weighs in at 90lbs., and is 4 feet long, 2 feet wide.
That's the notable stuff - you can check out the build sequence for most of these models by going to my Photobucket page, here:
