No Cockpit goes unnoticed and Daylan Geerlings does not settle for immitation.  You won't find a movie replica or kit-build in his shop.  But what you'll soon discover is his talent for fabricating his own super realistic sci-fi models. Daylan scratches his imagination!  And it is an itch we are proud to spotlight.  

"When possible, I like to use real aluminum plate to construct hull and outer body shells," he said. "This allows for ulta-realistic weathering and battle-damage." Each of Daylan's models may take anywhere from 3 to 6 months to complete, and it will be fully detailed even in places one cannot see, such as avionics bays and etc.

"The cockpit is always, to me, the most important detail point of any model. I spend most time and effort in ensuring the cockpit is as realistic as possible down to adding real canvas on the seats, real seat belts, and functional control columns."

Daylan paints his models using his trusty Badger 150 airbrush to replicate a camo paint scheme, black burn marks, and weathering. 

He has won an award for his craft, and has twelve years of model building experience, initially starting with model kits and then advancing to the more complex art of scratch building.  He also creates Dioramas, Fantasy art, Anime, Car concepts, pencil drawings, and resides in South Africa.
