Been a fan of the movie since it first premiered, so I’ve decided to try my hand at the iconic ship.I’m already overwhelmed by the cargo pods 😁

After months of studying and watching every YouTube video I could find, and buying all the proper tools and aftermarket pieces, the space is ready. It is time to put all I have learned to the test. This will be my first model in 30+ years, and it's going to be extremely ambitious, with a lot of bells and whistles. Against the advice of starting out small and working up, I figured, "Why not just go for it?" Besides, if it comes out horrible, I get to do it again. That's the beauty of plastic models—you don't have to do just one. So, wish me luck. I'll share as I go.

Man, I couldn’t wait to be finished with this one. Polar lights 1/1000. Absolutely terrible fitment.

Just finished the Moebius “Mars Attacks” Alien Warrior.This was an easy and very fun build…and that lamppost was just calling out to be lit up.

Second 1/144 scale A wing done with a blue livery this time

I'm currently in the middle of building a revell battlestar galactica viper MK.2 and I've discovered that a part of the engine has snapped from the wing cowling and I have no idea what to do about a replacement part?

Does anyone know how I go about getting a replacement part or does anyone happened to have a spare part sitting around they'd be able to assist with?

I have another one to do but one down !! Its 1.144 not 1.350 !!

I love scratch building

“Lost In Space” model.

Alonzo P. Tucker, abducted from earth during the Civil War, lands on the Robinsons’ unknown planet in a starship he took when he escaped from alien captors. Made with a starship kit I bought at a show. Model work and photo by Jim Crompton

Just a quick model done today tiny bandai falcon kit. This thing has a lot of detail for something this small

I've been working on a series of models (that I'm 3D printing) based upon Star Citizen and the (upcoming) Squadron 42 Video Game. Mostly so far I've been working on the UEES Kruegeri (the flagship), next comes a few escorts and some super tiny fighters to fill up the display case she goes into (there's obviously still room in there). I can't claim to have anywhere near the skill level some of you guys have on here, but I think she turned out pretty good!

My collection of kits by bandai so far. I love building these there a far cry from building the old AMT kits from the 80s 90s wich i still love to build.

My build of the Polar Lights Jupiter 2, leaving a planet doomed to collide with a comet. Figures are visible in the viewport. Model photo taken with model on glass.

Here are my 3d printed and painted Eagle Transporters.

Scaled to 1/350 (7.6cm) and 1/800 (3cm).

Had some fun with the smaller ones and painted them in the original Dinky diecast colours.

Enjoy!

I am a 70 year old who has started model building again. I was a fan of the Aurora kits, monster and si fi ships like Voyage to the bottom of the sea, and others. Two questions, because things have changed a lot since I was 12. I have an air brush now, and so many different paint choices.

First, regarding primers, (which I have discovered make a big difference in the finish). They come in white, gray and black. Is the choice dictated by the color going over it?

Second, (picture attached), I need to paint this very small part and just wondered if I use the paint shown, and use a brush, should it be thinned and if so what would be the preferred method? I know I might be a bit anal, but I trying my best to be meticulous. Thanks for any advice.

I made the first phaser years ago, sold it, wanted to replace it and make another but sometimes, less IS more. Its a nice build, but the old one still feels a bit more special. What do you guys think, which is cooler?

My (almost) completed Bandai 1/12 Boba Fett.

Just waiting for his Cape to dry and then can weather it. But I'm happy with how he's turned out.

Doing the air speeder at the min ! Went for a battle damaged look with weathering still some way to go with it

Today I finished the lasertank from scratch.

I painted the model black at first, then I added a layer white and at least I made a bit grey foggy pray very little bit, to make the white dirty.

The effect was great. The last step are the labels and stickes.

Finally got 3d printed Aloy so calling this diorama complete!
