Model Railway Kit Construction and Model Painting
Welcome to my web site. I am a professional kit-builder and model
painter with over a quarter of a century experience (yes, I'm knocking-on
a bit!). If you are a regular reader of railway modelling magazines, you
may have come across my name before, as I advertise in Railway Modeller
every month. If you have used me before, you will know that my advertising
slogan of "quality work at a sensible price" is no idle boast,
but an accurate reflection of what I have to offer. It doesn't matter how
large or how small the project is, from a Beyer-Garratt to a platform trolley,
I will be able to help you realise your ambition to get that model you have
always promised yourself, but never had the time to build. Simply write,
enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope, or email
me if you prefer, with details of your kit, for a free, no-obligation
quote. As you can see from this small selection of pictures, I not only
build and / or paint locomotive kits, but anything you could possibly want
for your railway. Whether you need rolling stock, a building, some platform
furniture, personnel or a motor vehicle; in cast whitemetal, etched brass
or nickel silver, plastic, resin or plaster, I can help. You won't get a
cheap job from me, either in price or quality; what you will get is a finely
constructed and / or painted model that you can be proud of.
On this site you will see just a small selection of photographs
of the models I have built and / or painted over the years. Previous customers
may even see some of their models gracing the various pages - thank you.
Most of the models are kit-built, but there are some, kit-bashed, and modified
ready-to-run models just waiting to be discovered, which not only serve
to indicate what is out there in kit form, but also what is possible to
achieve in the way of individualizing your stock with a little ingenuity,
whether modifying a regular kit or a proprietary model.
This site is intentionally simple and easy to navigate. It has
to be - I designed it myself, and I'm the one who has to update it, and
to be honest, I'm a bit of a technophobe! There are up to six pictures on
each page. I designed them like this so that if you don't possess broadband,
it wouldn't take more than a couple of minutes to download each one. Please
be patient - the wait will be worth it. You will notice that I have titled
the pages as BR (steam and diesel), and the Big Four, post-Grouping companies
- this was done for simplicity. However, you will also find, many pre-Grouping
railway company models, which have been arranged under the banner of the
appropriate Big Four company that absorbed the smaller ones in 1923.
