This diorama is one I have not seen done before today! The face off between Cdr. Kruge’s BOP and the empty Enterprise above the Genesis planet! Still beautiful after her encounter with Khan and Reliant, she sets with her sides and saucer patched with welded plating! This piece even has laser for phaser effects! Outstanding! [...]

Continuing his Rag Tag Fleet that will accompany his 6 foot studio scale Battlestar Galactica, artist Philip Cocking is showing today his WIP of the studio scale Gemini Freighter!

Artist George Waldron has been seriously busy since this years Wonderfest. George’s profession is in building digital models that can be used for printing actual physical model parts for kits! This is an great example of his work… the Rebel Transport! The even better part is that this pattern is being used for e KIT [...]

Here is another beautiful composite by artist Warren Zoell made from the fantastic early Enterprise model he scratch built!

Artist Gordon Lee has great talent for sketching some of the most known science fiction designs of all time! I am looking forward to showing more of this artist’s work. You can view much of his work on YOUTUBE under his channel… Drawing with Gordon.

This is coming along nicely indeed! I love when artists let go of fear and go for broke with a HUGE, life sized project! This will be fantastic!

EVERYONE who grew up during the 60’s and 70′ knows this Batmobile! What a fantastic miniature replica Orne did with this piece!
‘66 BATURA
(Seventh Gen – 1/12  Scale)
This is my seventh build of the car (the first was constructed over a Monogram ‘57 Chevy in 1988-89, using blueprints I drew up from photos taken of the [...]

Hey guys:
The 2012 “Jerseyfest Model Kit & Statue Fair” is just a week away (Saturday, Aug. 4th, from 11:00AM to 8:00PM) and I hope to see some of you there! Over 75 vendor tables in a big, air conditioned facility with tons of model kits and collectibles for display and sale. Painting and sculpting demos [...]

Artist Doug Craner is back with this fantastic Albatros build! This piece is highly detailed and painted to resemble the actual fighter! Beautiful work by Doug!
Here are a few shots of the almost finished Manfred Von Richthofen’s Albatros DIII, Around April 1917 vintage. (control wires still to fit) I scratched new plumbing from fuse wire, [...]

A few months before my move, I purchased this amazing 1/2 studio scale custom Battlestar build from artist Cliff Simmons. Cliff combined the looks of three Battlestar designs to achieve this amazing beast! He used the original series as a base, the new series for the guns and pods (which are all over this Battlestar)… [...]

The 1979 film ALIEN was absolutely amazing…. and so were the studio miniatures designed for the film! This build was done by Randy Cooper from the fantastic ACME Design kit! All this is missing is the planetary fog from the film! Randy really nailed this piece! He also told me that this kit is VERY [...]

one of my favorite films of all time is the Disney/Pixar film UP! Of course.. this is a completely digital film! However, artist Julian Baker decided to actually build that fantastic house of adventure! This is beautiful!

Famed miniature artists Charles Adams and Rick Ingalsbe recently joined the crew of the upcoming short film Beyond the Infinite. The task of creating the main ship, and turning it into a studio filming model is up to them.. and as you can see they are doing amazing work!
Here is a link to the Kickstarter [...]

Scratch built, this piece is just another of the Rag Tag fleet that Philip is creating to go along side his massive Studio Scale Galactica! I always love to see the weathering on this piece!

Built from the Pegasus kit, artist Kraig Councell is back with this beautiful piece… the UFO from AREA 51! I just love Kraig’s paint scheme of this combined with his lighting for photography! Nicely done!

//

//

All SG1 fans know this vessel very well! Built from the fantastically mastered patterns of Barry Murray, artist Sarah Scott built this piece well. Surprisingly this kit is not that large, but it’s great detail gives it that extra illusion oomph of being so!

Artist Jan Jacob is back with another fantastic custom Light Saber hilt! Check it out!
A friend of mine needed a project for his turning lathe, so I gave him an example for a lightsaber I found on the internet. He made it from a black plastic cylinder. I painted it in the right colors.
Regards,
Jan Jacob [...]

This model started as the Alfred Wong patterned studio scale SMT kit. Since it was a little different in detail than the actual studio model used in the 1978 film, and the 1979 series Battlestar Galactica, myself and artist Marc Elkins decided to build this beast as the Presidential shuttle of the Battlestar Atlantia! Marc [...]
