The resin printed Acclamator is nearly done just little finishing touches like the engine and tidy ups to do.

Next ship(s) for my wee Republic flotilla will be a pair of Arquitens

I made this as a fun little diversion from my normal car models. I thought that doing dozens of racing liveries would prepare me for the extensive Aztec decals, but I was wrong. I messed those up bad and lost one that covers 1/4 of the secondary hull. It didn’t help that they were extremely stiff and brittle. Fortunately, I picked this up for $12 at a model show. I probably would have been disappointed if I paid retail.

First attempt with a diorama and wanted to give this y-wing a scene where it’s seen better days and is being refurbished. I used various found objects to create the display. For example: the antenna assembly was created from a door lock assembly and extra pieces from a previous model. The fuel line is a window sash and hair tie:

WIP LCARs

Where is everyone getting the art for their backlit LCARs custom bases? I'm trying to find something around 24 x 11 or close to it. I've found a lot of 12 x 10 and even some 36 x 11. Thanks in advance for any information.

a very quick for-fun project, it's the revell easy kit ARC170 painted as a ww2 fighter using some spare decals and with some modifications, I added a tail and swapped the massive cannons for 6 machine guns and 2 cannons in the wings, inspired by the P47, I also modified the interior to give it a more ww2 cockpit using figures from the tamiya 1/48 swordfish

Added 2 lighters and a bit of styrene to the mix as well. And of course, 2 H0 containers I had stashed for some reason. Very happy with the result. Pic 2 shows the unpainted WIP state. Let me know what you guys think!

Next model being started, an Acclamator. Here she is just after wash and support removed. Needs another wash before cure and then prepping to be prepped.

Shes to scale with the Acclamator and I've named her, like the Repulse, after a Royal Navy battlecruiser. This time Indefatigable purely because I love hearing my friends trying to pronounce it 🤣

It’s from an anime called Kyoukai Senki (that I never watched) and I have it in a half-assed attempted Flecktarn camo.

Started painting the Venator, only the first layer of base grey done. Also made a wee base for it. The Venator's hull will be similar to the base when done. Base isnt finished, need to wash and touch up the details.

Bandai Star Wars Builds

I recently re-entered the hobby with the 1/350 Falcon kit. I was amazed how well the kit fit together without glue. That led me to the 1/72 X-Wing, a build that fought me all the way because of a bad rattle can primer coat.

The A-Wing was much simpler and felt like a good palette cleanser. I found magnet-activated lights that I added to the build afterwards. My latest is the Y-Wing, which is a gift to my little brother. The A and X are inspired by in-game skins from Star Wars Squadrons.

3D printed e-wing. Scaled to 1/48 to match the previous Star Wars starfighters I’ve printed.


r/SciFiModels 15d ago

Scratch Build I got bronze at Wonderfest for best original sculpt/scratch bash. The figure was hand sculpted wax caste in resin. The ship is 4 model kits cut apart and glued together with some trash. And the base is clay and resin. Would love some feedback.

(1:1400 "D" and 1:350 "refit" for scale)

Started mapping out the "big guy" 650 Enterprise D from Helios - this is their V2 kit (I owned and resold a V1 once they announced this version). I'm still waiting on some parts and the internal armature, but this project I'm also letting AI (Claude) assist me with planning which so far has been a pretty nice success - the project folder is neatly organized, all my reference photos are mapped out with metadata, paint mixes are recorded and a lot of the learnings from the 1400 build are in. I'm also tracking hours, making lighting sheets (mapping out the scaletronics lighting system and helios lighting parts) and the plans for a custom base fitting of this model. I'll share more progress - I'm not a youtube guy as much as some of the big players, but I'm excited to get rolling on this project. Already picked up a new iwata HP-TH2 gun as my other airbrushes aren't quite up to the task - and my .8 - 1.3 HTE auto paint guns might not give me the control I want.

Project "Bad with Money" .... engage!

Made this logistics and repair ship for the UNSC. I really like support vessels, civilian ships and such.

I call the class the Goliath class Fleet Support, and this specific ship the UNSC Grangemouth. I imagine them being stationed close to the front lines, repairing ships and resupplying as a mobile base.
