First, About my Scale Figure Business:

For many years, I sculpted original scale model railway figures, cast them in Polyurethane Resin,
and sold hundreds of them directly to fellow modelers all over the world. Several dozen different,
unique figures were made in 1:24, 1:20, and 1:13.7 scales. Recently, however, I have decided
to retire,and give up my business. However, you can still buy many of my figure Castings from
Back2Bay6 Models.

For nostalgia sake, here are some samples of my commercial figures:

 1:13.7 scale (about 5-1/4' tall)                               1:24 scale (about 2-3/4" tall)

My Personal Models and Scenes

 A Lister Locomotive in 1" Scale

Built from a fabulous kit made by the Back2Bay6 Company, in England. Produced from
white-metal castings, with certain embellishments and details by the builder (me).
The painting was a layer of auto body primer, followed by base coat of "Hunter Green"
auto body paint (both from rattle cans). The details and weathering are a combination
of acrylic paints and commercial rust treatments.

A Day on Cannery Row, in Port Clyde, Maine

I built this 1" scale diorama, mostly for use as a display/photo background. It depicts the outside
of a large brick building, a sardine cannery in Maine. One track is embedded in concrete, with
cobblestones between the rails. The other track is a little-used siding. The whole scene is entirely
scratch-built, including figures and all the details.
