SCALE MODEL SHOWCASE

Welcome to the showcase of Hugh May-Perry, artist and modeller. Explore a professional-standard collection of hard-to-acquire vintage model kits and evolving photographic dioramas, built with exacting detail and brought to life through master craftsmanship.

Museum-Quality Scale Models & Dynamic Dioramas

I specialize in building, detailing, and hand-painting vintage, hard-to-acquire model kits to what I proudly consider a museum-quality standard. My collection features rare centerpieces, including the iconic 1930s Cord and Revell’s classic Civil War ships, originally released back in 1961.

To house these builds, I construct custom dioramas primarily from 1mm greyboard, utilizing silicone and acrylics to capture fluid, realistic marine environments. These dioramas serve a dual purpose: they are meticulously engineered for photographic storytelling, then carefully disassembled, repurposed, and remodelled for subsequent shoots—keeping the creative process as dynamic as the history it represents.
