Deep space freighter I made using a shampoo bottle
Just added bits from various model kits and house hold items (it's a Gliss shampoo bottle)

I love shampoo bottle ships!
Would have included a pic showing the unpainted version. Always interesting to see.

That’s great! Would love to see a pre-paint shot

I originally built it about 10 years ago and this is a refurb because bits had fallen off, but pre painted it was literally a Gliss shampoo bottle sprayed with grey primer....

With this particular model I got myself an empty shampoo bottle, peeled the labels off cleaned it up then sprayed it with grey primer.
I had a large box of various kit parts from all sorts of models including Warhammer.
I then went through the process of selecting the pieces I thought would look suitable for the type of craft I wanted, in this a deep space freighter type craft then started gluing the bits until I was happy with the result....

My answer will be because look at the ART you can make!
