I’ve been fascinated by construction/farming/mining equipment since I was a little boy. I’ve spent so many hours drawing, modeling, and building them, that I have a mini garage full of options to choose from when setting up scenes.

I’m 50, and I have never stopped playing with toys.

The difference between me and 5 year old me, is I get to design and build my own now.

5 year old me would be so impressed.

Vehicles designed in 3ds max, 3d printed, hand painted. Terrain carved out of foam and plaster.

My cats spend a lot of time watching wildlife on the window tv.

Admittedly, I feed the locals a nice assortment of nuts on a regular basis so they come around a fair bit, and are pretty brave.

I’m clearly not threatening to them because they follow me around the yard when I go out.

I’m like Snow White with a dad bod.

I built a Mars Hab in a case illuminated with an imbedded led light string. The vehicle and Hab components were designed in 3ds max, and printed on an Anycubic Mono and hand painted with airbrush accents.
Greenhouse was vacuum formed over a designed and printed mold.
The landscape is carved from foam and plaster.

I design vehicles, equipment, and habitats for space exploration. I 3d print, hand paint the vehicles and equipment, and carve terrain out of foam.
