Geoff is a very prolific member of IPMS London, having built many a piece of 1/76 armour and a veritable air force of 1/144 World War II planes, among other things.  What sets him apart as a modeler, though, are his amazing scratchbuilt ships, done in a tiny scale using plans downloaded from the Internet!  Please note that these photos make Geoff's models look much larger than they actually are; that's a dime put in for scale.

gbhurricane.jpg

The first airplane model that Geoff has built in a few years, according to his reckoning.  Sweet's excellent 1/144 scale Hurricane Mk. 1 (complete with Preiser figures) marks Geoff's triumphant return to large-scale aircraft modeling.

Geoff's scratchbuilt HMS Nelson plies the cold waters of a 1/4800 scale North Atlantic ocean.

The Japanese aircraft carrier Ryujo sits at dockside (note the aircraft arrayed on the flight deck!), while three battlecruisers of the Invincible class sail by.

Tiny Avengers, Dauntlesses, and Wildcats await their turn to launch on the deck of the USS Enterprise.

carriers.jpg

The carriers Kaga and Enterprise, accompanied by a British cruiser, pass by a lighthouse surrounded by frolicking vacationers in sailboats.

cavalry.jpg

Just to prove that he can work in the larger scales, Geoff brought out these 1/285 scale (6mm) British Napoleonic cavalrymen.

town.jpg

Perhaps Geoff's most amazing work to date is this tiny town.  Look at the truck driving across the bridge!

A destroyer rides shotgun as LSTs, LCTs, and LCVPs storm a 1/2400 scale beach.

This shot puts it all in perspective.  A merchant ship, complete with lifeboats, sits on Geoff's hand.
