Hi everyone

Longtime miniature artist, sculptor, and architectural modelmaker (professionally since '82)

Moved to Florida from California where I worked in the film, TV & Theme Park industry in set construction, faux finishes & miniatures as well as precision models for architects and engineering. I job shopped most of the major studios & visual special effects houses (before computer graphics took over), Disney Imagineering model shop, Landmark Entertainment theme park model shop, Warner Bro Six Flags theme models, as well as theater sets & attraction props at Disneyland Park & Disney California Adventure.

Nothing here in my page is laser cut, programmed, CNC, CAD, or rapid prototyping, just "old school" power tools. Today you can buy laser cutters & 3D printers for home use, but I personally build miniatures for the enjoyment itself. Most design is CGI nowadays but I still like working with my hands rather than clicking a mouse, so cheers to old school craftsmanship.

Enjoy!
