As others have said before, great work. The paint jobs are very good and that Olympia Tower is quite the spectacle, I need one for my desk! These are impressive creations, I definitely need to pick at least one of these sets up for scratchbuilding in general. But I. Must. Stay. Strong..... *No, lead pile, please leave me alone*  o_o o_o o_o

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this is really the best plastic "toolbox" kit I've ever seen for spaceship gaming, and you could probably find uses for many of the parts in other genres and scales, especially terrain building.  Spend the $50 or so a box costs from discount sellers.  You will never regret the purchase.

Heaven's Stair Station is online!



Fair-sized build mounted on a 50mm base.



In Dropfleet terms it could be a medium or large station without any trouble.



With smaller ranges like Ground Zero Games' or Brigades starships, it's definitely a capital-ship sized station.



And yes, I was totally listening to the Eagles while building the thing.  :)

Synthesis Rig K-404, a chemical manufacturing center producing compounds too dangerous to be safely made in a planetary biosphere.



Slender but very long, about 9" from end to end.



Despite the willowy appearance it seems to be pretty sturdy, which is a testimony to both the design of the kit's join points and the strength of the plastic itself (which was welded with Plastruct Bondene).





Entertaining build using a lot of the smaller parts off the sprues.

Space Fortress Rampart Seven is online!













Kind of a parts hog, but I like the way it came out.  "Studded with guns" would be a fair descriptor.
