I picked this toy up a while ago and thought I would re-paint and stick him on a base as a birthday present for my brother. I glued him in the pose I wanted then filled the seams and sanded the many slight defects that you get with these toys. I only had to add 2 plastic strips to his forearms...

This is the Klingon D7 Battlecruiser from Revell. I'll be building this as a Romulan ship, Stormbird class. As such, I'll make my own decals for it. It will also be lit up! :D

I hope I know what I'm getting myself into! Taking a risk with this as it's my first ever naval build!! It's a diorama since I want to put it in the water (is a waterline kit after all) and it's got AM figures. EDIT: Doesn't look like alot of room here for the pics... :-\

I'm gonna make this Kimi Raikonnen's championship winning car. The plan is to add a figure to the cockpit and place it in a diorama. I've never done a dio before, so I'll be learning as I go and taking my time. Probably put the car on the track around a corner. That way, I can put one of...

I know the Tie-Fighter is more iconic, but this is my personal favourite Tie design. Still need to practice my construction skills. Gluing things together is becoming my weakest area, which isn't great for this hobby. ;D Perfect kit for having fun and honing those skills. Goes together quite...

I'm probably a little behind here on the technology, but I only just found out about these things. Probably cost a fortune to buy a 3D printer, but think what we could do with it in terms of model building! Could there even be a future in model kit manufacturing using this? No more injection...

Got this for xmas as a wee prezzie. Decided to build it today. Just having fun here. Not gonna get serious. It needs some weathering... Ok, alot of scratches. ;D And some chrome dry brushing... Well, quite heavy dry brushing. ;D Tomorrow, I'll apply a dark wash. :)

This is one of my favourite ships from The Next Gen series. I figured after building a few ships for practice (Ferengi Marauder, Maquis Fighter), it's time for something that I'd really like to do! I got this on ebay, in it's box, already opened, some parts had come apart from the sprues. No...

This is the Halcyon Alien 3 facehugger with Alien Queen Fetus circa 1993. I would have been about 12 years old when I got this. Didn't know a thing about building models. I stuck it together rather badly, but thankfully, I had the good sense not to try painting it. Really nice big model. 1/1...

The Enterprise 1701-F first pic of its final render has been released. This was a fan contest held by Cryptic and CBS for Star Trek Online. The winner, Adam Ilhe, created a pretty bold looking design. It has 2 necks!! I think it's turned out really beatiful, though I do have some nit-picks...

Hey folks. This build is going to be a bit of an excercise in weathering. It's certainly the most detailed kit that I've built so far, but I'm not worried about putting her together. I'm really mostly concerned about painting her. I'm not going to be doing any lighting. Nor am I going to do a...

This is the next model from the AMT Adversary set. The D'kora class Ferengi Marauder was supposedly an equal to the Galaxy Class in strength. I think it looks like 2 croissants stuck together, but never mind. There are 4 clear plastic parts for this, and just enough room inside to fit some...

Not sure what scale this is supposed to be as it says in the instructions it's 1/3750, but that can't be right. The Klingon BoP's scale's always been somewhat ambiguous anyway, appearing at different sizes in almost all its episodes. First thing I noticed is the huge gap between the engine...

Hey folks! I found this old kit one day in my attic and decided to build it up. I haven't built a model kit for about 14 years (when I was about 14 years old!). So, here it goes. This might not be up to a very high standard as I'm a total newbie and this kit is a real baptism of fire. Not one...

Hey everyone! My name's Iain and I'm from Scotland. I'm a sci fi fan and I'm going through a bit of a Trekkie phase. Though I like all sci fi TV and movie franchises, I don't enjoy reading it. I much prefer fantasy novels. Now that you know me so intimately, I'll get down to the reason I'm...
