Miniature Marvels


A mental health crisis in 1997 inspired Mark to revisit his childhood passion for scale modelling, which subsequently became a fulfilling pursuit that enriched his life. However, a Parkinson's diagnosis in 2013 significantly limited his time for this cherished hobby.


Determined that his collection and extensive knowledge could benefit others, Mark founded the Miniature Marvels gallery to raise funds for research into neurological conditions such as Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis— the latter of which affects his mother—while also promoting scale modelling to enthusiasts of all ages.


Admission fees are: Adults: $10; Ages 5-15: $5; Under 5: Free. A full 100% of your admission fees supports the Neurological Foundation, and any additional contributions are greatly appreciated. You will be issued a receipt so you can claim back  33% of your entry cost. 


Miniature Marvels opened its doors in 2025.


Despite facing numerous challenges, Mark continues to create models that meet the high standards required for gallery display.

Some Example Exhibits


The following are examples of some of the models completed since Mark's Parkinson's disease diagnosis. He regards each as a minor victory over the condition, but "the battle" to maintain a satisfactory standard is becoming more and more difficult as at the time of opening Miniature Marvels in 2025.


All are 1/72 scale where 6 feet in life corresponds to 1 inch on the model, or 1 metre to 14 millimetres, respectively. If you are viewing this on a desktop screen, or even a tablet, the chances are the image you are viewing is several times larger than the model.
