I have about 25 years experience as an industrial model maker, experience which I've turned towards making things I want to make, versus what others want me to make.
In recent years, I've been intrigued and inspired by the Steam Punk genre and that's the direction my design and fabrication work has taken.
I have developed and am producing a number of items I call "phripperies", available at my Etsy store. I'd be delighted to answer any questions, should you decide to visit.
