[Brian da Basher]

Ok, Nick, where did you get that giant ruler? I know that fighter has got to be in 1/72 scale at least!

That's some phenomenal work on such a teensy subject! I'm amazed!!!

Some progress on the ship today.  I'll try to post more progress pics tonight, but we're about to head out for the evening so this will do for now, showing some of the new additions and changes.

[Eddie M.]

I'm completely transfixed by this project. Makes me wish I could think in this dimension.

[AeroplaneDriver]

Well She,s finished.  I'm working up the full backstory that will go along with an article for the homepage, but for tonight here are a few pics of the finished ship.

One last one for tonight.  Better pics later in the week.

[Mossie]

I've just noticed the 'Black Ensign'!  Is this just a thing for the space fleet, or is their a Cornish connection?

[Weaver]

Damn that's good - if you told someone it was an actual SFX model from a show or film, they wouldn't bat an eyelid.
