Welcome To Mike Aucutt's Modeling Website
Welcome To Mike's Models
Welcome to my modeling site. I am Mike Aucutt and I have been modeling for 45 years. I grew up in the 60s loving westerns, science fiction and superheros. My favorite modeling subjects are science fiction space ships, modern and historic warships, airplanes and superheros. I am a big fan of Land Of The Giants, Fireball XL5,Stingray,VTTBOTS, Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek.
I also collect toys from "my era" and build HO scale carnival rides. I can never say no to a 60s-70s cap gun!.
Faviorite TV shows non sci fi: Gilliagns Island, Hawaii 50, Wild Wild West, F-Troop, Mchales Navy, Gunsmoke,Have Gun Will Travel, The Rebel, Outer Limits-just to name a few. " They don't make um like that any more!
This site WILL ALWAYS BE under construction. In the future I plan to provide a page for each scratch built model with a tutorial on how the model was constructed. Good news -no more pop ups.
About me? Well, soon to be 54, married to a wonderful woman who tolerates my modeling, two kids (17 and 19). I am a Microbiologist involved in the ethanol industry. I love to shoot cowboy guns , play guitar and listen to good "old" rock and roll!

Also while I am recovering I plan to build some card models-note the cool firefly, it's difficult but a great study for a full sized kit.
