IPMS Gold Medalist and Master Modeler with over 30 years of experience in high-fidelity aircraft assembly. Specializes in scratch-building, resin conversions, and complex photo-etch integration.
Arthur Sterling is a veteran of the scale modeling community, known for his uncompromising approach to construction fidelity. With a background in precision machining, he teaches the technical "how-to" of assembling static aircraft, from building budget-friendly toolkits to correcting warped fuselages. His expertise lies in transforming basic plastic kits into museum-quality replicas through advanced fabrication techniques, including soldering brass and working with dangerous resins. Arthur focuses on the structural and mechanical aspects of modeling, ensuring that every strut, antenna, and cockpit lever is strictly to scale. He writes for serious hobbyists looking to master the physical assembly and modification of their kits, regardless of the manufacturer's engineering limitations.
