I recently completed work on the BanDai “Boosted” T-70 X-Wing model. It sits alongside the 1/72 scale Millennium Falcon that I had done last year. Both models are on display at the Willis Hobby shop in Long Island, NY.

This is my recent 1/72 scale BanDai Perfect Grade Millennium Falcon Model Commission. I hope the readers following the Modelers Miniatures & Magic Gallery Site enjoy the build as much as I did working on it. The build was awarded 3rd place best vehicle special awards in the most recent New Jersey Fest Model show.

Here is another piece that I had done for a gentleman in California some time ago. The Batwing from The movie “Batman Forever”! The beautiful Photoshop image of the model was produced by my son, Michael. The client was thrilled upon receiving this rendering of the Batwing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did with the build.
My best to you.

I wanted to add to the MARVEL section of Modelers Miniatures & Magic with a Moebius Iron Man build that I had done a while ago. I thought that Iron Man would be a nice addition.
The very best to you always.
