THE ULTIMATE BATTLESHIP YAMATO PHOTO LIBRARY
I hope you enjoy viewing my work. I modify most of my figure kits so that they wind up quite different from the original. I'll take parts of different vinyl kits, other odds and ends and whatnot, and, with the help of Quickplastic epoxy putty and some re-sculpting techniques I have developed, come up with something new.
I started off with dinosaur models, but I've branched out into Ray Harryhausen's film fantasy critters, a few favorite movie characters, and more recently - ships (after three decades!).
Within the past few years I built the 52" long Nichimo Battleship Yamato 1/200 scale kit. Check out pages 5-6 for photos of my model.
I took a 25-some year hiatus from modeling and other artistic pursuits (other than some occasional cartooning). I re-discovered the joy of art in mid-life and its been a joy to create and share my vision with others.
Art, like all creative gifts, is given to us by God to be shared and used to enrich the lives of others.
So this website is my gift to you.
If you have an interest in art/sculpting/modeling of all kinds of subjects, I would recommend that you check out the Internet Figure Modeling Clubhouse at
INTERNET CLUBHOUSE and also see
At both sites you will find incredible artists and sculptors. Some of these folks are nationally known and their work will leave you in awe.
Thank you for stopping by!

Tyrannosaurus rex
Pronounced: tie - Ran - o - Saw – rus Diet: Carnivore (Meat-Eater) Name Means: "Tyrant Lizard" Length: 40 feet (13 m) Height: 16 feet (5 m) Weight: 6 tons (6,000 kilos) Time: Late Cretaceous – 67-65 MYA
Probably the most famous of all dinosaurs, T. rex was probably the fiercest meat eater that ever lived. At more than 40 in length, it was huge and had the most powerful head of any dinosaur. It also had the biggest teeth of any dinosaur - teeth that were not only sharp and cutting edged, but also thick and strong, capable of crushing bones.

This has to be one of the best Horizon Rex customs I have ever seen.
