As a World War One Aircraft enthusiast this site gives me chance to show you some of the aircraft that I have enjoyed studying and drawing.
Within these pages you can see some reproductions of my original 1/72nd scale five view prints reduced to half size.
Also on display are 1/48th scale drawings showing Port or Starboard Side Profiles of Aircraft used in the five view prints.
I am also including some photos of my 1/72nd scale paper Aircraft models.
The technique to construct the paper models took me about four years to develop. I think you will be surprised at the finish, most people at first glance, think that they are plastic models!
All my display prints contain five views of the aircraft, which I am sure will be useful for model makers.
At present I'm working on illustrations of Japanese Imperial Army and Navy aircraft from the 1914-1920 period. These should be of interest to many people as there is not so much artwork on these early Japanese aircraft available at this time.
All the work displayed is my own original artwork drawn on my Macintosh!
To avoid copyright problems I have not included any of the supporting photos on which the illustrations were based.
But almost all of my prints are based on data from at least one or more photographs and on line drawings and reliable information.
However, new data is constantly being uncovered, so if any of my drawings appear to be inaccurate I would appreciate your feedback, and information, so that I can upgrade them.

     Please enjoy the aircraft !
