Impressive across the board. I especially envy your skill in making recognizable ships from so much sheet plastic and tubing.  8)

Having a minor quandary at the moment as I'm finding it hard to define the work I'm doing on the ships.  I keep stopping and asking myself if I am creating wargame miniatures to game with, or am I creating fine detail models that will (at some point) be played with?

Where does the detail stop and figurine practicality begin?  :?

Awesome work on the ships!

Whether for display or gaming (hopefully for the latter, as they deserve to be outed in the (star) fields of battle), they are pure eye candy.

These are looking superb. It would be brilliant to own some of these as a painting challenge for myself haha :D

Thanks for the feedback chaps!

@Matthais-mouse, I could make up something for you to work on but my output at times is glacially slow.  If I do cast up something usable, I'll give a shout out.

I've just been caught on a small snag that I'll have to work through, but these side projects can certainly be diverting!



I should be finished in 18-20 years.  :D

Don't bank on it!

I've got two similar projects, one's been running 22 years, the other 19, and neither are showing any signs of being near to completion :)

My plan will be to keep taking them to the doctors/opticians etc, and encouraging gym membership.  If they ask why, show them the organ donor card I've pre-filled out in their names and how they can get along fine with just one kidney, right?  :D :D
