Thanks.
So. Many. Rivets!!! I’m starting to rivet things in my dreams now.
For just one tank I cut up 1 and 1/3 14” long plastic rods for a grand total of about 875 rivets per tank. Aside from the hatches, which I’ll have to sculpt the crew before attaching, I think this build is finished.

Looks amazing, can't wait to see the paint job on that. Any chance of a group shot of the whole gang in the near future?

Not all of the "gang" is painted yet. It might be a while before that all happens, but I could probably post a shot of them as is next weekend.

That is just amazing! Impressive stamina to do all of those rivets so neatly . Finished off an epic build really well. Intrigued to see how you get on with the crew sculpting

Well, I decided to take a little break from the tanks. I’ve been wanting to scratch build a spaceship for a while now and since I still had my styrene out, I went ahead and built one. I’m overall happy with the finished build, but if I did it again there are a few things I’d do differently. I think it was a good learning experience for me.

Great scratch build, kinda has a similar vibe to some Halo human ships.

Love how monolithic it looks. Tbh, it looks like a scale model or concept for a big-budget sci-fi film. I could see that being in the next Dune movie.

Some of youse guys- Ezki, Camkhieri, you:
"I grew weary of minute manipulation of styrene, so to relax, I built this different incredibly complex thing out of styrene....."
Beautiful little ship!
As mentioned, could easily fit in with the Halo-type fleets, or going even further back, might almost belong to the same shipping company as owned the Nostromo or even the Marine Transport Sulaco.
Rock on!

Thanks all!
It actually wasn't that difficult to build. The hardest part was the "bridge" area and the fact that I had to make most of the greeblies as my greebly box is almost non-existent.
I took a lot of inspiration from Sublight Drive on a Youtube video I saw. I took his basic design and changed a few things to make it my own. I also watched a few Adam Savage videos and found that I was already using quite a few techniques that he uses, which I thought was pretty cool.
I'm still waiting to paint up a whole bunch of stuff, but the HobbyTown that I used to drive past on my way home from work closed a few months back. Now I have to drive almost an hour to the nearest hobby shop to get most of the supplies I need.

The Macharius' are currently in the paint shed (waiting on some varnish before they can be weathered) and I finished the cargo ship (pics to come). In the meantime, I started this. I've wanted to scratch build a battleship for some time, so. First some sketches and the skeleton of the ship.

Finished the landing bays. The plan is to paint them and then finish assembling the rest of the ship. Still working out the particulars for masking them while painting the rest of the ship.

Got quite a bit of work done this weekend. Mostly details and greeblies. The jury’s still out on the yellow “orbs”, but I haven’t found anything to replace them with.

I’m finally getting around to taking some pics of a painted Macharius and my scratch built ship. Still need to do a bunch on the tank. Weathering and mudding. Pretty happy with the ship. Might paint in a few windows here and there.

We’ve got thrusters! Need to add some more greeblies and details then I’ll start moving towards the bow. Added some bulk around the middle to better accommodate the main gun on the underside and to add a better platform for the turrets on the sides.

Finished the fuselage and added the armor plates covering the hull. Next up is the greeblies and details in the “trenches. Might add some fin-like protrusions by the bow at the bottom. Maybe they could be torpedo/missile launchers?

Some of your ship paneling very much reminds me of lessons taught by Adam Savage on the subject. They look great.

Thank you! Not much of an update, work has been done, but nothing worthy of photos. I'm just adding some detail to the "trenches" on the sides.
Azog, I had seen those videos before. I've watched a few of Adam Savages videos and was surprised that I was already using many of his techniques. Though, drawing straight lines with just my finger was definitely NOT one of them.
I'm trying to go with Uber detail for the trenches like on the edges of the star destroyers. The small scale is going to be a huge obstacle, though since it means I will be needing to make all of the greeblies by hand. So far, the anti-aircraft laser turrets have been the most challenging.
