No Cockpit goes unnoticed and Daylan Geerlings does not settle for imitation. 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.

 Italian Naval architect Giancarlo Zema's "Trilobis Floating Home" proposes a 4-story semi-submerged live-aboard environment for people who love the sea. Giancarlo's motif in his design allows people to live in a self sufficient, non-polluting living-space that is in unison with their ocean surroundings. The best view of the sea is from its 11ft. topside elevation above the waterline, while its fully submerged first level, is an undersea observation bulb. The propulsion system consists of dual 300 horse-power electric motors powered by hydrogen-fed Ballard fuel cells. Zema also designed a special type of marina that will enable like-minded Trilobis owners to create their own floating villages.

 Charles Walts commissioned me for the construction of a two-foot diameter replica of The Invaders Flying Saucer as seen in the 1967 TV series created by Larry Cohen, staring Roy Thinnes and produced by Quinn-Martin Productions. I'm excited about this project, Charles has a real appreciation for the show, and it was a childhood inspiration.
