Editors note:  Fred passed away in late Sept 2013.  These photos were taken from his post in the ARC forums.  Fred was a quiet member on the forums, but his work has inspired everyone that has seen it  He combined his love of scale modeling with his love of photography.

Above is a pic of him with a few of his models as posted on Iran Air Force Facebook page.  This was international news when it was discovered the photos on the facebook page were in fact not real aircraft but scale models.  That shows how realistic Fred's photos were. 

On some of the pictures I use a program called PHOTO MAX PRO. With this program I can pick any section of any pictures and drop it in any other pic, so what you see on that picture it is a real pic on my diorama picture, I try to have a right photo for my set....this is another one with same program.  Most of my photography is outside so I can use natural lighting and backgrond.  I use my local park with open area and a good setting.
