Welcome to my new website. The site is devoted my passion for my hobbies including:

• Handmade 1/35th scale replica military vehicle modeling
• Writing feature articles about military vehicle modeling and
• Photography

Australian Ford Tractor Unit & 7 ton Semi Trailer

Some visitors to my site may already know me in the world of internet modeling as an expert soft-skin (truck) and scratch-build modeller by the name of MrRoo through my participation in various specialty modeling forums and from magazine articles published in an English military modeling magazine. Read more about me in my About Mr Roo biography page.

With my carpentry background and fastidious eye for detail, I am able to scratch build models starting from photographs and research to finish with an meticulous 1/35 scale replica military vehicle. I have developed my own methods for scaling from photographs and will be bring you this information as my articles are added to the website in the near future.

Handmade Parts for assembly of Fitters Chev

As this site develops over the coming months, I will be adding a "building diary" where you can follow the build progress of a model as I do it. Some sales sections will also be added. One will be for my finished models. I will put all my models up for sale at the end of the build once I am satisfied they are to my high standards.

Another interest of mine is photography. I love taking pictures of the local wildlife and plants. I intend to let you also enjoy mine and my wife Kathie’s passion of taking photographs by selling limited edition prints of some of our work and in time also as calendars and cards etc.

 

 

Commission Model Making

I will also undertake commission model making work of my choice, so if you have a favourite vehicle or a historic vehicle for your desktop you want made contact me for a price and time frame for construction.
