LATEST RELEASES - MAY 2026

It's been a slow design start to 2026, but a few projects have been finished and prototyped, ready for release. Most of these models are the result of customer requests, so keep them coming! The only real limit is the availability of plans or drawings - so if you have good reference material for your

idea, so much the better.

About Me

It's my hobby...

Like a lot of people, I've been making models of all sorts since getting my first Airfix kit as a kid. When I couldn't find the particular truck I wanted for a military rail project, I took the plunge into 3D printing and everything snowballed from there! I find the whole process fascinating - from starting with a blank screen to ending up with a finished miniature model!

Thanks to the support and feedback from a number of my early customers, I have been encouraged to expand the range of models to cover a wide range of civilian, military and aviation subjects. The only downside is that now I don't have much time left for my own modelling!!

The Designs

I use a 3D liquid resin printer, which provides superb detail, despite being a slower and more complicated process than simple filament printing. I do all the 3D drawings myself from scratch - most of the models are designed and drawn in 1/35 or 1/76 size, then scaled down to the required size - usually 1/144 scale or 1/152 (for N gauge). The detail achievable is pretty impressive...

The Products

My subjects are a mix of my own preferences and customer suggestions - so if there's a model you need and can't find anywhere else, drop me a line and I may be able to help! Also, since they are all my own drawings, I can sometimes customise the basic designs to make particular vehicles.

But please note, I don't sell or licence my design files.

INFORMATION

Working with Resin Miniatures

My miniatures are made from a liquid photopolymer resin, which is cured with UV light to harden it after printing. This results in a hard, but somewhat brittle plastic - which can easily break if handled carelessly. If you drop a model onto a hard surface, it will probably shatter!

The printing process requires the addition of supports - I try to remove all trace of these, but you may need to do some final cleaning up before painting - use a fine file or sharp craft knife.

Minor blemishes in models can be filled with regular plastic filler, but do not hesitate to contact me if you are unsatisfied with the quality of the model you have received. Models are best primed before painting. If necessary, parts can be glued with a small amount of superglue.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL MODELS ARE SUPPLIED IN GREY UNPAINTED RESIN UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED - PHOTOS OF PAINTED EXAMPLES ARE FOR ILLUSTRATION ONLY

Remember...

My models are detailed miniatures for serious modellers, intended for static display

- they are not toys and are unsuitable for children
