My Garage Kit Gallery
My Garage Kit Gallery
ESTABLISHED SEPTEMBER 2005.

Welcome - I hope you enjoy viewing my work. I modify most of my figure kits so that they wind up quite different from the original. (And there is a lot more here than just dinosaurs - so browse on!) 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, exists to be shared so as 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

MODEL WARSHIPS.COM

At both sites you will find incredible artists and sculptors, some nationally known. Their work will leave you in awe.

Thank you for stopping by!

Takeshi Kitano Figure 2 - Aniki 
 
This is my custom build-up of legendary Japanese actor-director "Beat" Takeshi Kitano in his greatest gangster role as "Aniki" in the Japanese-American production of the film "Brother" (2001).

Kitano plays a yakuza who is exiled to Los Angeles where he has a younger brother.

Pretty soon "Aniki" sets about building up a new organization in the good old USA - using ruthless Japanese methods.

The head of this figure was a custom sculpted figure which I painted. The body, clothes and pistol were purchased from several 1/6 scale figure Internet shops.
