I love sculpting small, practical items. Dice are a particular obsession as the limits of fairness and the materials used pose interesting challenges for me.
I also enjoy replicating spaceships from my favourite game, Oolite, as miniature Airfix-style model kits.
As a programming and design challenge I've also created a small suite of OpenSCAD modules that can help me create bespoke heraldic designs. Basically, you choose the design and I can probably create it for you in a few hours as a pendant, key fob, ear drops or cufflinks.
The 1976 McLaren M23, as driven by championship winner James Hunt, at 1:100 scale and with a small loop added below the rear wing to permit use as a keyfob or pendant.
The Ferrari 312T, as driven to victory by both Niki Lauda and Clay Regazzoni during the 1976 Formula One season, at 1:100 scale and with a small loop added below the rear wing to permit use as a keyfob or pendant.
The classic, six-wheeled formula one racer, the Tyrrell P34 as driven to victory by Jody Scheckter at Anderstorp 1976, at 1:100 scale and with a small loop added below the rear wing to permit use as a keyfob or pendant.
A set of ten 1:200 scale miniatures scaled for the Formula D (was Formula De) boardgame.
The ten models represent four Grand Prix winning marques that made up the field for the 1957 Pescara GP: the Cooper T43 driven by Jack Brabham and Roy Salvadori (2 models), the Ferrari-Lancia 801 driven by Luigi Musso (2 models), the Maserati 250F driven by Juan Manuel Fangio and most of the field (4 models), and the Vanwall VW57 driven by Stirling Moss, Tony Brooks and Stuart Lewis-Evans (2 models).
A set of eight 1:200 scale miniatures intended for use with the old Descartes board game Formula De.
They represent four Grand Prix winning cars from 1962: the Lotus 25 driven by Jim Clark, the Ferrari 156 "Sharknose" driven by Phil Hill, the Porsche 804 driven by Dan Gurney, and the BRM P57 driven by Graham Hill.
Eight Formula D / Formula De miniatures in the the style of the 1971 season Le Mans competitors. Four each of the Ferrari 512M and the Porsche 917. Modelled at 1:200 scale, each model is approximately 21mm x 10mm x 5mm.
Designed to be made in Stainless Steel, but equally good in white/black/transparent detail acrylic. Supplied unpainted, but with a good eye and a fine brush you should be able to recreate the liveries of the Gulf and Ferrari teams from the classic Steve McQueen movie.
Suitable for use with the Formula D, Formula De, or Speed Circuit boardgames or any similar 1:200 scale racing games.
Or simply as a miniature display of six exquisite racing machines.
Sadly, these models cannot be printed in the strong and flexible nylon, as the details on the car wings is too fine to print accurately in this material.
Ten 1:200 scale miniatures in the the style of a 2010/2011 season Formula One car (with a small rear wing, large 'snowplough' front wing, high nose and slim 'coke-bottle' engine cover.)
Designed to be made in Stainless Steel, but equally good in white/black/transparent detail acrylic. Supplied unpainted, but with a good eye and a fine brush you should be able to recreate most team liveries.
The Ossuary set of dice piles together skulls with large flat numerals (or pips in the case of the four sided die). They're intended to add a hint of the mortuary madness of the Paris Catacombs to your die rolling, while remaining pleasant to handle and roll.

The model comes as a six piece kit, easily assembled with a few dabs of polystyrene cement, and ready to paint. Finished on its stand, it is 65mm wide and 45 mm high.
A five piece kit to assemble a 1:2000 scale model of a Python Class Cruiser from the computer game Oolite.
This version of the Python first featured in the Space Traders' Handbook, accompanying the game 'Elite', but wasn't actually included in the game. I initially modelled it for Oolite, then decided it would be fun to have one I could actually paint with the shark-face design. The model's been through a few iterations since I originally made the model walls too thin. Thickening them has increased the price somewhat, but it's still good value for the level of detail achieved.
A seven piece kit to assemble a 1:1000 scale model of an Asp Mark II from the Oolite space sim game.
The model features three reversible panels, to display the model as a pirate or a navy vessel as illustrated. The photos show a printed model assembled as a pirate, the renderings show the alternative navy version too.
