Wow. Just Wow. I love to see scratch builds.Excellent!

Just watching this again, after seeing your latest video. Absolutely blown away.

Rob Turpin is easily one of favorite spaceship artists, and the model looks great. Nice work.

Ahh, so cool! I have Rob's Weird Field art book and want to build some of the ships. Great work!

This is awesome, I love Rob Turpin's work.

This sort of artwork makes me think of the possibility of human space colonization, and how if we do make it to the stars in such a way to make a galactic empire, ship builders could just look back at concept art from today and just use those ideas as inspiration too.

It looks great! Well done.

Very nice build. A suggestion from the really real world of aircraft maintenance. All aerospace vehicles have certain equipment access hatches and ports that get an extra ordinary amount of use due to regular service actions or high fail parts. They tend to be extra rough around the edges from being man handled and have grime from hands and feet prints around them and leading up to them from people walking across the ship.

I love this northern boy. I have 3D modelled several of his designs. fantastic style. Love the build

Reminds me of the space craft paintings of Chris Foss , my favourite si fi artist , great job 👏 👍 👌

So satisfying!

@@Sublight_Drive I can definately see Boylei's influence with the witty texts onscreen throughout the video. (Technical note: They would be a little more readable if you used a slightly larger font. Also, maybe if you placed them so as to avoid white text over a white background. I had to pause/rewind/pause the video a couple times in order to read your little gems. Well worth the hassle, but still a hassle.) Awesome skills good sir, I am intrigued enough to look at some of your other vids.

Adam Savage has some very cool videos on getting started on scratchbuilding spaceships that I highly recommend, they’re what originally inspired me to get into it. As for other skills, there’s all kinds of other channels out there. I’d say Boylei hobby time, Cut Transform Glue, and Night Shift scale models are my biggest inspirations for a lot of the other techniques I’ve picked up.

Lol. it never occurred to me to design a spaceship profile based on the shape of a country.

greebles and paint hide all the modeling crimes

Great video, could i ask what is the computer program you are using to create the cutout and sizes?

What primer do you use? Haven't you ever found problems of paint not sticking well to non-PVC plastics (from "trash" pieces like the caps, the exterior of garden wire, or whatever else that can be regarded as "junk")? Also, do you have some recommended cheap model kits to nab bits from? Revell kits prices in my area are a bit random on the price-value side of things >.> I friggin love your channel and projects. Bless the day I found you on Reddit. You deserve much more subs.

I use acrylic primer from Vallejo. It does cause issues sometimes on the trashbashed parts, but as long as I don't stick masking tape to those parts they tend to survive long enough to get a topcoat. As for acquiring kits, I get most of mine from a little local shop that has all sorts of weird old kits, so I can't really help you there. Model tanks and artillery guns tend to have the best bits though, imo. Thanks tho! I'm glad you like my stuff.

You will notice he used some kit parts to build up the underside of the ship as well as most of the greeblies. Technically you could call this scratch-bashing as he built the main body out of sheet styrene, while using bits from some tank kits as well as "found" parts out of the recyclimg bin. Had he used found plastics for the ship body, then you could call it trash-bashing, butbi dislike that term personally.
