Scott's Biography

Scott's interest in model kits began at the age of five, building Aurora Figures and Drag Racing Cars. By the age of 10, he started seriously drawing and painting Nitro Funny Cars. This led to experiments with color painting on canvas using traditional tools and brushes, creating some amazing works of art.

In 1986 his lifelong dream to design and paint a REAL Funny Car came true. "Bullet" Bob Floch and his charming wife Cathie, commissioned Scott to design the "Bullet Bob" Funny Car. After receiving encouragement and compliments, Scott decided to open up his own custom paint shop for motorcycles and small vehicles.

In 1990 Scott came across his first Garage kit the "Billiken Predator", and then he was hooked. Since then Scott has worked as a computer artist and is currently freelancing in Toronto with several FX companies, painting props used for TV shows and commercials.

In 1998, Scott turned his artistic abilities towards sculpting and produced the "Raised by the Demons" kit for G-Force. Although this was his first official attempt at sculpting, "Raised by the Demons" is G-Force's most popular kit to date. Custom model kits painted by Scott are shipped all over the world. Some of his works include Nina Dolono in Gillman Suit, Tony McVey's Gargoyle bust, Falcion's Iria, Nagal's T-2 Arnie with Roses and many more.
