About My Business

I was a professional miniaturist for many years before moving to California in 1989 (from Massachusetts), when I entered the film-industry, building mechanical and scale-models for such films as "Total Recall" and "Titanic". Now, semi-retired, I use Blurb software to build photo-text books about work I did as a collector's miniaturist, and film model-maker...(and I spend a lot of time on my motorcycle!).

See my website at www.georgewjones.com for pics and bio (or Google my name: georgewjones...look for "Movie Models & Miniatures"; that's me).
I'm an expert (TIG) welder and machinest, although, most of my work is done by "hand", using Dremel and other such hobby and consumer-based tools and equipment. I use a lot of dental equipment as well...whatever my dentist doesn't need any more and is willing ti give me.

Things I Don't Mind The World Knowing
|
Spoiler alert: I'm thinking my next book will be about... |

Two years ago, I began converting 16+ years of photo-archives into book photo-libraries...16 in all, using Blurb, Beta 2.1 software, and sorted out 10 to receive EAN barcodes and ISBN's. These titles were placed into ISBN-agent, RR Bowker's data-base as "books forthcoming" , together with publication-dates for each which extend into Dec. of next year. "The Making of a Miniature Firearm" was the first of these to go into print and is available for sale in Blurb's on-line bookstore at this time. |

Everyone needs to know about these authors and artists... |

Emmanuel Velikovsky, who, after 25 years of ostracism from Harvard University and other such elite circles of influence, was invited there to defend his theories, once rejected by the scientific community. "Is there anyone here, who will stand up and defend Newtonian's theory of Gravitation and Enertia"?, Velikovsky cried aloud to a full but silent room. "Eh"?, he screamed in an even louder voice, evoking an even quieter response from the room. Read: "Worlds in Collision". |

This book is addictive. Read it. (At your own risk.) |

The bible! I am not a religious man; I was raised without religion, was given no doctrines to believe, nor rituals to practice. But I find the following books (and chapters) compelling: Daniel and Revelation; Ephesians chapter 4 and Revelation chapter 20; Matthew 24, and Luke 17 (and 21); Matthew 24 and 25. Revelation 13 and 14, read with understanding; 1-Thessalonians 4:16 (The dead in-Christ shall rise first) for "desert". Finally: "The 3 little Pigs" (Oh yeah!). |
