A word about our models: There are many modelers today working very hard, long hours with little or no recognition for their efforts and we applaud them all for their dedication to their craft. We spend countless hours sifting through digital images, still photos and libraries of moldy books studying the historic records of how people lived and worked before we even begin to design our models. Each model is crafted as if the people from that era were really going to use it. They are painstakingly painted and weathered so that rust appears where rust would naturally occur, water stains pond and streak like real water traces, wood stains fade into a myriad of dusty color smudges and paint peels as it ages. Our weathering is not merely a smattering of paint flakes haphazardly scattered over the model, but intricately designed into every nook and cranny. This combination of historic research, architectural design, modeling craftsmanship and painstaking weathering results in a finished model that is much more than a fancy paint job – it is a piece of historic art ready to take up its humble place on your museum quality pike. We build layout ready painted & weathered scale models primarily out of styrene and wood. If you like what you see, and we can't emphasize this enough - buy it. Many of our models are truly unique, one of a kind, yep it's the only one ever made kind of models. These are not mass produced. You are looking at a hand made original work. We may never make another one exactly like it.
