iModeler Sci-fi

Science fiction, fantasy and mecha model building.

Crashed space ship

This diorama was inspired by reading a compilation book of the art of sci fi artist Chris Foss. If you ever read a science fiction paperback printed in the 70s or 80s there is a good chance he did the art work for the cover. I wanted [...]

1/48 VF-1A Valkyrie "low visibility"

I tried to create a weathering finish on Hasegawa's 1/48 scale kit, using the box art as a reference. We aimed to create a finish that gives the impression that this is what the Valkyrie would look like if it were real, with a slight [...]

Bandai 1/72 X-Wing

Decided to build another Bandai Star Wars kit since I had so much fun on the last one I did. These go together really easily with no fuss which makes it a low stress build allowing me to focus most of my attention on painting and [...]

21 - BandaiIngram Special from Patlabor

A project I was really excited for but got a bit out of Mojo on because of the terrible possibility on the older Bandai kits. Thank goodness they have come such a long way and improved so much. I wanted to try and do multicolour camo on [...]

Star Destroyer from Bandai

I was also done with the Star Destroyer. Bandai, 1: 14500 scale. It had to be sealed here and there, unlike Death Star II. The real challenge is painting, these ships are usually brilliant whites in the movies (except for the Jedi [...]

Death Star II - Bandai

It only took a few days of construction and painting to have a cheeky little table decoration. Bandai boxed the Death Star II with a Star Destroyer, originally I wanted to build the warship, but the superweapon got me. It can be put [...]

1/100 MS-09 DOM

I finished the renewed MG Dom. The excellent quality of the original kit has been carried over, and the mobility of each part has been upgraded without changing the quality of the workmanship. This time, I only made a few modifications to [...]

Bandai 1/48 AT-ST

I been away from the hobby for a bit and got the itch to build something again... I usually do 1/48 WWII aircraft so this was a bit of a change for me. The assembly of the kit was amazing everything snapped together like legos no glue was [...]

20 - Bandai Space Aircraft Carrier

This was a really fun build and one I'm really happy with, from the Space Battleship Yamato or Star Blazers series. I tried some new techniques on it like preshading the panel lines, and in this subject matter I really like how it worked [...]

"Overwatch"1/72 Macross Destroid Defender by Bandai

This one I completed just recently. Ever since I first watched the anime series Robotech in the early to mid 80's, I have had a love for mecha. This is linked to the Macross saga with which many are also familiar with. Some may have seen [...]
