KPS Models

About us

KPS Models have been involved in the model collecting, making and selling industry for over 30 years and know the passion collectors have for their collections.

Built on Experience. Driven by Passion.

KPS Models was founded by John Stott and Steve Porter, two lifelong model enthusiasts with a shared passion for heavy plant, construction and engineering.

John is a time-served plant fitter with extensive experience in the industry, having worked for Caterpillar and Costain as an engine fitter before progressing to become a company haulage director operating on the international stage.

Steve began his career as a time-served heavy plant fitter with PM Quinn Construction, before establishing and running his own plant hire company. He remains actively involved in the construction industry today, bringing decades of practical knowledge and experience to KPS Models.

Completing the team is Steve Keene, who spent more than 30 years working for International Paints and has an unrivalled knowledge of paints, coatings and finishing. While Steve isn’t involved in the day-to-day running of the business, he’s our go-to expert when it comes to achieving the highest possible quality and finish on our models.

And that’s where the name KPS comes from — the initials of the three founders’ surnames: Keene, Porter and Stott.
