SPA Modeler

Where I discovered once again how joyful model building is for me with a challenging old kit, and wielded a brush for many pleasant hours just like I did when I was boy, and in the end, I held something well crafted, honestly built, imaginative and fun.



Pestilence Labs (handsculpted resins) provided the new Kong head and Ann Darrow figure. I pinned her arms and legs to give me the best pose possible. The collector client is a major fan of the actress Fay Wray and has helmed a yearly Classic Monsters expo since the late Eighties.

Quite amazing piece of work!

You are teasing us with partial pictures!

Looks great Bruce! It’s about time that you posted this!

Sorry, here’s a triptych of photos of the finished project taken on my bookcase with no special lighting on the night I boxed and shipped this out.

Thank you for always following along and being the best kind of friend to the forum as well as model building. I need to find your year end kits to see what you made happen in 2021.

Thank you for being outstanding when it comes to skill, craft and accuracy. You’re one of the great historians of military (and SciFi) subjects. May your new year flow with inspiration.

That's a very nice build Bruce!

I have learned so much from your work, I wanted to thank you most sincerely. My wish would be to sit down in hobby rooms of my favorite model builders everywhere just to absorb how everyone does their magic. I am grateful you have a channel for your projects. I have to candidly admit that your diorama of the soldiers in a raft breathes the ether of the very best dioramas I have ever seen.

You are too kind Bruce. I thank you so much. If you're ever in Indiana you are welcome to stop in. That diorama turned out better than I had thought it would. I didn't have any planning and just winged it the entire time.
