Backscenes

Welcome to my website


I create good quality model buildings, mainly for railway layouts. The scene on my logo is an example of my work. Commissions could also be taken for models of business premises to be shown in the foyer or reception area. They could even be modelled on your favourite building, such as a pub or your own house. A low-relief model can be made (just the frontage) if required. To get a more authentic looking model, the scenery can be added around the building, such as a street scene or garden.

I am a member of the Manchester Model Railway Society and have won many awards for my models. These include the Championship Cup, Scenic Award Cup and various Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards.
 
The large MMRS 4mm club layout, 'Dewsbury Midland' has many of my models and scenic work on it and published articles of the layout can be found in RM December 2000, BRM February 2003, MRJ 165 and 166. Also in Hornby magazine February 2008.
 
More of my models are featured on the 4mm exhibition layout, the LNER 'The Gresley Beat', published in BRM November 2004 and March and April 2006.
 
 
I can be contacted at either of these layouts on the exhibition circuit as I am an operator on both.
 
Other published articles of my models can be seen in
Railway Modeller, British Railway Modelling and
Model Railway Journal

** See my new page on Backscenes **
 
All model railway layouts should have a backscene of some sort. It helps to keep the illusion that you have modelled part of the landscape and stops the eye from wandering past the models.
 
So if you would like a wonderful backscene painted to your
own requirements by a professional artist, then check the new page called Backscenes on the contents list.

***DVD on my models***
 
BUILDING  BUILDINGS
'Right Track' No. 7
 
I now have a DVD out, showing some of the techniques of how I make my model buildings. It is in the excellent 'Right Track' series and is on sale now.
 
The DVD was launched at the NEC model railway exhibition on 1st December 2007 at the British Railway Modelling stand.
 
You can order a copy through BRM, so go to the Links page and then go to the BRM contact address.


The DVD runs for approximately 3hrs and 20minutes.
 
Basic construction methods are explained for different types of buildings, along with roads and pavements and all are described in detail. 
 
The contents are very easily accessed for each particular model.
 
All methods described on the DVD could be used for different scales.
 
May I take this opportunity to say a big thankyou to all of you who have e-mailed me with kind remarks after watching my DVD. 
Also for the people who have approached me at exhibitions and said how much they enjoyed it.
