About

I make detailed scale models, miniature scenes and dioramas. I started model making in the mid 1980’s and it’s been my life-long fascination to recreate disappearing and lost subjects in miniature.

Miniatures can give people a feeling of wonder and comfort by encouraging creative play, storytelling and remembrance, and in satisfaction of their craftsmanship and detail too. 

Growing up in a post-industrial British town surrounded by landscapes of wrecked machinery and factories, as a kid I was immersed in a stirring world of loss and change. My creative focus is on abandonment, although I make models of all types and eras, both real-life and fantasy subjects.

As well as custom making miniatures to order, I have a new range of limited edition products in development that I’ve designed to make hand crafted miniatures more readily available and affordable for people. Please check out my shop or get in touch if you want to discuss a commission.
