Re: 25th Anniversary, right?

Re: 25th Anniversary, right?
The domain, Starshipmodeler.com was originally purchased in 1996. The discussion forums were started sometime after that. As I recall, Starshipmodeler.net was set up in 1997 and the forums were moved there about that time. There have been a couple renditions of the forums since then but they've rem...

Re: Reinforcing thin resin?

Re: Gravity or siphon feed airbrush best?
I'm a gravity feed convert. You can mix a tiny amount of paint to spray very small areas without wasting a lot of paint. It's great for Alclad for the same reason.

Re: Super Leopard Mk-XI Grav Tank
What a beautiful and clean design. Very nice, though I spotted the AT-AT face parts as vents, I felt the whole thing seemed completley orginal. Nice work Blappy Happy New Year DEC The AT-AT parts were my nod to the ILM guys and their use of greeblies. Now their designs are greeblies! ;) I wanted to...

Super Leopard Mk-XI Grav Tank
A little something I did a few months ago. It's on my Facebook art page "The Blaposphere". The page is public so anyone should be able to view it.

Once again work prevented me from completing this. I may still do it, just a little late.

Re: Team Hosers! (or whatever...)
So I just came across the bag with all of the bits for the second model here. I have done a little bit on the first one and intend to finish it. I'm thinking I'll send the second one back to Johnnycrash? Is that still cool with everyone?

Blaponian Intergalactic Space Saucer
Here is my basic starting point. I've had these for a few years as they caught my fancy for some kind of a saucer so now I can make use of them.

I'll probably grab a few more goodies at the dollar store for it.

I've had these kicking around for years. They are about 14 inches across and made of Styrene so bonus on the material.
I'm in!
