AMT / ERTL Xizor's Virago from Star Wars Shadows of the Empire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is a 1996 multimedia project created by Lucasfilm. The idea was to create a story set between the films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and to explore [...]

MPC 1/72 Space 1999 Eagle Transport

This is my build of one of my favourite spacecraft. It looks like it is meant to be hauling junk around a lunar base all day long, a utilitarian design unlike some sci-fi craft. I did the cargo pod up as a rescue version as it adds [...]

USS Enterprise Star Trek refurb,AMT/Lesney 1/650

Instead of buying an overpriced kit whose molds have been around since 1967.I thought maybe I could refurbish one that was hanging in the detached garage for over twenty years and had endured all those winters and summers, plus one roof [...]

Pegasus 1/32 Aerial Hunter Killer from T2

This is my rendering of the aerial hunter killer from Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The kit went together well and was very Bandai-like in how the parts fit. The only modification was replacement of the molded compressor fans with resin [...]

'Probe this ET'

I’m by no means a Star Wars fanboy or have any Star Wars doo dads in my work cave and office nor have I watched one episode of the new Mandalorian series. Along with my future wife, I did join the jubilant sidewalk party while waiting in [...]

29 - 1/72 Hasagawa VF-1S Strike Valkyrie

I love Macross (RoboTech) kits, they really are nicely made and I had so much fun with this. I was having problems with the AK weathering pencils and watercolour pencils so I challenged myself on this build to weather only with the [...]

"Dude...just walk away!" An 'Alien' Diorama

Anyone who's ever seen any of the films from the 'Alien' franchise knows that the first rule of space adventuring is 'stay away from the strange leathery egg things'. Unfortunately this guy did not get that memo. A little diorama inspired [...]

2022- A model building odyssey! or: an orbiter as a New Year's greeting: happy 2023 folks! (just imagine Richard Strauss waltz "An der schönen blauen Donau") Space Clipper Orion III

Do you know what I liked most about this project? The view of our blue planet, gorgeous, precious beautiful - and impressively captured by the photographers from zero gravity! Although the idea for the presentation of the finished model [...]
