Metal Model Magic
Meccano is a construction toy. It was invented over 100 years ago by Frank Hornby and went on to become one of
the most popular and well known of all toys. Meccano models are made up from a kit of standard parts held
together with nuts and bolts. With Meccano you can make working models of practically anything. The only limit is
your imagination.
I have been making models from Meccano for years. On this page you will find some of the many models I have
made over the years.
 
Keep looking in. I am making more models all the time
Things that interest me
Meccano first hit the shops in 1901. This was before the first aircraft flew. Yet
Meccano can easily be adapted to make a model of anything old or new. Like
this spotter plane or rescue helicopter.
 
To see more of my models, just click on the picture below. I am not really into making huge or elaborate things. I prefer unusual models or things that
are small or a bit different. Some models were made for exhibitions or challenges. The models include a racing car, a locomotive a walking dinosaur
and a novelty clock.

I am a member of Spanner which is the virtual Meccano club on the internet. Spanner is an e-mail reflector system which allows members to
communicate on various Meccano topics. It is a bit out of date really but if you want to know about Meccano it is the place and if you are interested in
Meccano it is the definitive fount of all knowledge. To join in the fun, hit the button below:
 
You can find out more about Meccano on the NZ Meccano website. I think this is the best place for all things Meccano. You will find more of my
models there too.
