    Thanks for visiting my Gallery of "comics-related" models. In this section, I have tried to put the models I built that originated as Marvel comic-book characters.

    Be patient as the thumbnails for this gallery loads. To view the full size image, click on the smaller image, which should open a new window or tab with the full size image. Note: If you have 'Automatic Resizing' set for your browser, than any of the "larger" images may be reduced to fit your browser window.

    Note: some of the images for the earlier models I built, are scans of non-digital photos that I took of those models. These scans are not as sharp as I would like. The images of some of the more recent models are created from digital photos, and are much better. In the future, where possible, if I still have the model, I may take new digital photos for this site. 

     

    2011 Note:

    Since I have been building the Horizon kits since 1993, I have just about built every super-hero kit that they produced !! Therefore, I find myself losing interest in building them exactly as Horizon intended them to be assembled. This is esp. true in the case where I am building a kit for the second or third time, e.g. the Iron Man kit I built  (January 2010); it's my third one. So I am starting to be more ambitious, and am starting to either modify kits, or in the case of the Iceman model in 2009, convert a model kit to a different character. Check out below how I converted the stock Iron Man kit to a Silver-Age era version of Iron Man. Ditto for Hulk, Captain America and Thor (in February 2010); and made a Rogue model (February 2011) !!


     

    Marvel Comics Models

     

    As you will be able to tell from the many Marvel character models that I have built below, that I am more interested in Marvel characters than I am DC ones. But the reason for me building a plethora of Marvel models may also be due to the fact that Horizon produced more Marvel character models than DC ones
