iModeler Sci-fi

Science fiction, fantasy and mecha model building.

USS Mira

Original AMT 1/537 Enterprise Refit kit with a PNT resin aftermarket upgrade to convert to a Belknap/Decatur class starship. Aftermarket decals from Gus Snipes at GCals and lots of masking to get the Aztec pattern on the model before [...]

Did you hear somthing?

A little diorama depicting a spaceship crew about to have a very bad day. Unfortunately they went for the budget discount cryopods (which have predictably failed at the most narrativity convenient point) and their cargo of cyber zombies [...]

PLAMAX 1/24 X-ATH-02 STRIKEDOG

1/24 scale kit by Max Factory I painted the Strike Dog green in the image of a mass production machine to finish it off. I made some modifications, mainly around the sensor area. It was a great kit, very easy to assemble, with a good [...]

Bandai RG 1/144 RX-78-2 GUNDAM ver2.0

I built the RG Gundam 2.0 that has just been released. It is a well-made kit, so I only made some modifications to make it more to my liking. The main modifications were to extend the legs and waist front armor, offset the ankle connection [...]

Bandai 1/72 Y-Wing

Bandai 1/72 Y-Wing painted in my own scheme. I went for a grimy all metal finish that wasn't too shiny. I think it came out ok. Attaching all the pipes was the only hassle of the build. As usual painted with lacquers and weathered with [...]

Sci fi pest controller

Inspired by a rewatching of the classic Sci fi film alien. If the colony had just called in a professional exterminator a bit earlier all that nastiness with the acid blood and chest bursting could have been avoided. (If you’ve not seen [...]

Volks IMS 1/100 TERROR MIRAGE

Volks 1/100 scale kit. I put together Terror Mirage, the MH that appears in the comic, Five Star Stories. As a plastic model, the parts accuracy is a little difficult to achieve, but the kit is uniquely valuable in that it faithfully [...]

The Gate Keeper

Bandai 1/100 Banshee Unicorn Ver Ka Cloth was sculpted out of epoxy clay, used something I haven’t before and that is “metal” decal stickers and I’m a big fan! The base was made out of insulation styrofoam with sculptamold, added [...]
