About Me

My photo
ROY SUTHERLAND
I have been a modeler since the age of 6, and a professional modelmaker for the last 24 years. I have worked in a number of model shops in the SF bay area, including Industrial Light and Magic (credits include Star Wars Episode II), and M5 Studios (where they film Mythbusters). I have worked for Toy Companies such as Worlds of Wonder, Galoob, and 21st Century Toys, where I was in charge of the development of the entire product line. Most recently, I have done some contract work at Image Movers Digital, Kerner Optical, and Fonco, as well as running Barracuda Studios, which produce the decal line BarracudaCals, the resin line BarracudaCast, and the publication line BarracudaGraphs.
