I learned a LOT this year, from building to painting to photography, and I'm looking forward to making more and even cooler things in 2023.
The C.S.S. Albion, kitbahsed from all the ship hulls I wasn’t using.

Wing Leader Kilrathi Grikath heavy fighter in progress! She's a big one, and before you ask, the aft turret will be a separate sprite, so it can rotate around to aim. I'm also posting the OG sprites for comparison. :)
Enjoy!
Phantom MKV scratchbuilt in styrene from concept art by Tom Sun aka Sunnyrain. Video up later this week

Thanks man! I'm sure you can appreciate the terror/satisfaction/effort of putting out a design into the world.
Clockwise from top right: The Kestros, an original design of mine. The Cantwell-Class cruiser from Star Wars. The J-109 Atlas, an original. The Ushas Cargo hauler, from the Silent Death miniatures game.
Sneaking in at the last minute for #PortfolioDay2024. I make physical models of spaceships using traditional kitbashing and scratchbuilding techniques!

This is a common misconception, propellers actually make things go by spinning, which they can obviously do while in space
Replying to @TUAtwit
Incorrect, propellers make things go, why else would they be called that and be shaped so lovely like a flower.

Mostly styrene sheets, both 1mm and .5mm thickness. Super nice building material, especially for things like this.

Mostly Weld-On 3, but I use regular CA glue in a few places
