She's an old ship - at least a couple of centuries. Seen many fights. Her glory days may be behind her, but she's still doing her part. Too old to refit; to useful to decommission.

T5-48 Battleship, also known as The Pride, was present at the Battle of Aycor, Prime-52, and Zycor until it was placed at the prime sector station to defend it. It can hold 23 Tasiyo Heavy Interceptors and 5 rare galactic union star bomber’s. It has a pretty weak armament for its size of only 52 heavy plasma cannons but makes up for it with its strong hull and shielding along with its starfighter carrying capacity. It’s construction began in 2258 and was finished in 2265 but only one other T5-48 was produced after they noticed a blatant and obvious flaw in its hanger system that if misused would tear the ship in half. The ship was finally destroyed defending the prime sector station from destruction and was ultimately the one ship that saved the station. I think I overdid it a bit. oops.

Great Job Dude!!! That thing looks 2000 years old. It has definitely been to the planet of blue dirt. Now take it apart and put lights in it.

Wow! My son and I just learned at least 4 new techniques for our tiny channel. Thanks so much !

No KZread, I don't need videos on how to make awesomely cool starships. Oh wait, YES I DO!!! Holy shit this guy is amazing.

Your best model making ship you have ever done. Love this one. Nice Job.

Worthy of Star Wars

Nice job! I love your positive approach! You’re like the bob ross of kitbashing!

That design looks like an implosion of Gerry Anderson mashed in with Space Battleship Yamato. And it somehow works! 😄

Yeeeaaaahhhh...great-now you can put it on a green screen and make your own movie.🎞🎥🎬🤓😂😂🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

I can tell you from experience that all artists find inspiration from others, even if it isn't the same medium. I'm a writer and I have found tons of inspiration from just watching the creation of these starships and vehicles. I am a huge sci-fi geek and seeing these creations gets my mind to spinning. I don't think I've seen anyone more enthused about their art than this rad dude. Keep up the fantastic work and I'd love to see them in a short film of some kind. How awesome!!!!

So very very true! I sculpt, paint, draw, write, 3DCG Model, and now scratch-modelling and being open to all the boundless limits of creativity is a gift to be used and has made me happier each time I learn something.

I love your laughter!

So nice to see you happy

Use a used tooth brush with a 'wet' paint. Run your thumb along the tooth brush to cause it to flick tiny dots of paint onto your ship. It will help to break up the flat areas, and add texture. A not too contrasty 'dirty' colour works best, but be super subtle with it. ILM do it all the time. Practice on paper first to dial in your technique. Also when your aztecing is a bit 'bold', a thin, light coat of the base color will tone it down, and help blend it. If you light the model with a ton of light, as if you were shooting on 35mm film, and trying to get a big depth of field, most of the weathering will go away. Your ship looks great!

Thanks for the tip.

Awesome...... as a child in the 70s I remember on a kids shows in the UK on Saturday mornings watching them make a spaceship out of plastic containers you would normally throw in the trash... I’ve always wanted to do the same. I’m 50 this year and I’m going to definitely do one over the winter months.... thanks for the tips and now it’s time to start finding the pieces 👍🏼

_"Go to a local shop, talk to people"_ me, an introvert: *_sweats profusely_*

An easy way to tone down the aztec camo, is to mist on a very thin coat of the lighter color over it. Ideally this is done with an air brush and very thin paint. It can be done with a spray can, but it is much more difficult. The idea is to slowly build up the color, until it looks right to you. You did a great job on the Model construction and the paint job.

Love it.....plain and simple!!!!!

This guy is so visibly excited, it's amazing to see

The design made me think of the reavers ships from Firefly, then the paint scheme totally sealed that impression! Great vid!

I was thinking the same thing. This guy just gets it! He has that sci-fi mind for sure.

Dude, that's awesome!

That's pretty cool.

We found it entombed under a mountain of limestone, in the same place where it was supposedly shot down centuries prior. A dead war-god from a bygone era. Our salvation. The mainframe flickered on, and its ancient voice boomed through the corridors. *"Is it time again?"* it questioned. *"I haven't seen people in so long. Not since my crew left me here. I don't blame them, I am an old machine. But you are here now. Do the people cry for freedom? For liberation? I can still fight. I am tired but I will fight. Do my people need me again?"*

This helps alot! I just built a ship out of toner cartridges...😁

I think it looks fantastic Anthony. And I really enjoy watching you get such pleasure from the work you do.

I like the heavy weathering. For all the time we put in these models, they are only visible for seconds. You are right about the fly-boys. They are short. And there are usually distance masks that make it even farther away. The detail has to be accentuated. Thanks for the shout-out for the local hobby stores. I worked my way through college at Hub Hobby Supplies in New Orleans. And I still help Gilbert’s Hobbies in Gettysburg with his web work. Support local brick fronts. Keep ‘em open!

The ship looks amazing! With all the weathering it looks like its lead a long life, but is too stubborn to stop.

Looks like a mon calamari with most of the round armor scrapped to make way for deck guns, either way, it looks amazing this just gave me the go ahead to kitbash with the spare bandai model kits and stuff I have

You rock. Thanks for sharing.This one looks great..

FANTASTIC!!!

Great looking ship. Looks like it could be a slave ship from Enterprise

Great video!

Just found your channel and really enjoy it! I'm a action figure customizer so I'm always trying to learn from all sources possible. Really like these custom ships you make! Awesome work

I like your use of cardboard to rough out shapes. It's called C.A.D. Cardboard Aided Design

i love you man! youve been an inspiration for me, like that dollar store kitbash!

After you do the aztec patern, demask, then take an airbrush with the top color and thinned way down and with light pressure just mist over the whole piece to blend the top and bottom a bit. don't spray heavy you just want to slightly lighten the bottom color to blend it slightly.

I want to do this to a bird of prey as ive always thought its arse was a let down on most of the designs.I saw youre last vid , and i really! liked your idea with the tank wheels for parts of the engines .WELL CLEVER !.. heehee .

I always look forward to your videos, not just for the amazing tips but just your fun and care free personality! Keep up the good work!

Real nice work! You sound a lot like concept artist Trent Kanuga, same laugh as well.

Model railroaders such as myself use a lot of washes. A very effective DIY one is to use black leather dye mixed into a tall *glass* jar mixed with 90% isopropyl alcohol. Mix it all up and then let it *sit* for a day. Do not mix it back up. This is the magic. Once you let it sit, it will separate into layers. Dip your brush in and you'll get darker and darker concentrations the deeper you go. With the alcohol, it will flash dry quickly, or use a hair drier to speed it up. Adding a bit of brown dye helps warm it up. You can make a lifetime supply for around $10.

No problem to be on my shelf.

Wow. Great job!!

it looks pretty heavily weathered, but as films like star Wars ships look, that it will tend to be washed out by the bright camera lights, so for a film prop, it's probably about right. I'll be interested to see how it does look on film.

The reason for the paint pattern on the spacecraft models is to make it look more real. If you look at any man made structure like a large building or a ship that pattern happens naturally because humans aren’t perfect and we can not make things with a perfectly smooth surface or texture. When painting the roof of the super dome in New Orleans over time the paint will be a shade darker or lighter because one spot is painted over a darker or lighter spot or one spot is newer paint from a repair. So to give the hull of a massive spacecraft realism the paint pattern is actually calculated, becoming an element of the design.

Very inspiring

Very informative and a lot of fun to watch. I think the weathering is in line with the wear space, with its micro-meteorites and dust would wear on a ship. Just look at the old Shuttles.

If you like kit-bashing, then you have something in common with our beloved Robin Williams. I read years ago that he did kit-bashing as a kid, long before kit-bashing was a thing.

Best tool for weathering powders - a ladies' soft makeup brush. Gets into those gaps.

I really enjoy your videos, I’ve learned so much. Thank for that. You did so many amazing props but all of them are in similar aesthetic. Don’t get me wrong, that’s your aesthetic and it’s awesome but I was wondering if you could maybe do tutorial of more props in minimalistic, clean aesthetic? I would really love to see that.
