I trained as an Architectural Technician from school and continuied with this occupation until after five years of running Elite Miniatures, on a part time basis, I took the plunge and went full time with it.

In my early years I learnt the majority of my wargaming at the Wargames Holiday Centre in Thortonley Dale, then Scarborough, under its then owner Peter Gilder. I got to know Peter very well painting figures for him and eventually designing figures for his Connisseur Figures.

During this time I stared converting a lot of figures which led onto designing complete figures - I found that I had an aptitude for this and the second figure I ever designed went into production with Elite Miniatures.

I enjoy designing, painting and gaming with dramatic looking units. My wargaming is played 'In the Grand Manner' ( with a few ammendments added over the years ). Designs of figures, especially my new 'Collectors Series' which have even more annimation and detail, are inspired by Peter Gilder's, Suren's 'Willie' figures and dramatic paintings by Detaille,Wollen, Woodville, Rowlands, De Neuville, Don Troiani and others.

I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do!
