The studio scale V tanker build has begun!
Approx 40" long when completed this is a scratchbuild of the large studio miniature as seen in the TV series V.
​I have taken the time to redo the online catalog, now re-titled the SMT Store with a direct link to my Ebay listings. 
Here you will find an ongoing array of decals and resin/plastic model parts as produced for SMT. Most will be limited runs so if you see something you want - think about ordering - it may not be there when you get back to it.

​That is it for now, model on and remember to enjoy the hobby!

Hawker TomTit dummy radial engine

This is the dummy radial engine used by Bapty & Co. to detail the Star Wars blasters and communication units. 

"IN THE SHOP" WITH SMT

 I have had several folks say its great to see these models or parts offered ..thanks so much...but how do you do it?

I can identify some and I get to know more as I build and search. 15+ years will do that.
But really the internet groups are a great way to learn more about your favorite models and what was used to build them! And most are happy to help out a beginner willing to put the work in.

I have invested not only in knowledge and contacts but materials, kits and more to bring many model subjects to life.
SMT is one of the few model making shops that has kit stock, toys and Plastruct all on hand to identify and build models from. From Aurora Sealab to Tomtit radial engines used on Star Wars props most items are on hand to provide quick reference.
SMT has over 600+ Plastruct fittings in stock and many sizes of tubing and domes , motor sets and so forth.

I create most everything "in house" as they say and have the ability to vacuum de-gas, pressure cast and rotocast items. Combined with tools like the vacuum former and cross draft paint booth it allows most subjects to be completed without requiring outside help.

Most folks don't like to provide a view in, but SMT is different so please sit back and enjoy a photo tour around the shop!

As my way of giving back to the modeling community I have released for free the 15 page PDF of development I did for modifying the Airfix/MPC/Round 2 Eagle model kit. Download from the articles page and remember its sharing and building a community of like minded individuals that keeps the hobby and enjoyment!
