Pat's Custom Models began in 1993, offering custom building services to
modelers who either lacked the time to build or the skill level required to build
the model they have always dreamed of having. Then, drawing from over 50
years of model design and building experience, the business has also evolved
into not only a custom building service, but also offers custom model airplane
and boat design services for individuals and kit manufacturers, as well as
offering "Construction" and "How-To" articles, and for several modeling
magazines as well as the monthly Small Talk column in Flying Models
magazine.

During my nearly 20 years in business, I've done several modeling clinics for
schools, youth and church groups to introduce kids to modeling who have
otherwise never been exposed to the challenges and rewards of modeling. I
have also designed an RC Pilots' Ground School to clear up some of the
mysteries of learning RC flying -- in simple terms. Over the years I've
discovered that the more you know about what makes the machine work, the
easier it is to learn to operate it, and model boats and airplanes are no
exception.

My goal is to continue to design and build models of all types as well as to offer
educational programs to put modeling back into the hands of kids; and let's
face it, kids are the future of modeling!

A section has been included in the Web Site for the model boat enthusiasts out there. Our local Boat Club
has been very active for many years, and since our new pond was completed, boating is gaining popularity
very quickly. This section is dedicated to the good folks at the Albuquerque Model Marine Association
(AMMA) who have been active in keeping the club going through the years. Click on the Blue Banner to see
what we're all about.
