First up we have the MW4 Marauder - quite a large model (about 30cm tall) with distinctive yellow camouflage. I added a cpl small details (white hip armour, white fins, some touch ups and nose art etc)

Next up is the Narn Cruiser from Babylon 5, bit fiddly but came together well, nice subject to build. Im placing all of the various ships im working on in frames to tie them in as you will see.

then we have another Babylon 5 subject - a Shadow battlecrab - i started with a papercraft kit i found but found the model too small and flimsy so i scratch built a bigger one from foam board. Came out about 40cm across, touched up with black acrylic and varnished, also textured the whole surface with scrunched up paper to give the more creepy look they have (if you know you know lol) Some of the builds i do are suggestions from my partner (she has a good eye)

then lastly (at the moment) is another scratch build/suggestion from the missus - a Borg cube from Star Trek. There are a cpl small models out there, reasonably simple, well, cubes, so i thought about doing something a little more 'layered' - This is foam board, card, grey board with printed surface textures, about 15cm across.

So there you have it so far, a very mixed bag. Im hoping to do a 'puddlejumper' from SG Atlantis next, then onto an Expanse build.
Hope you like em, cheers for now
