It's useful to line something like this up against a reference image to see where things need to be tweaked.
On the left is the original 5 foot studio model. The right is my project.
Thank you. I kicked off a new project last weekend.
This is going to be ~15" long when finished. This will be roughly 1/2 studio scale.
Bandai Y-Wing on right for scale.
I finally found some some LEDs that work without heat or ugly hot spots. These are COB LEDs and there's no ugly gaps. They are brighter than f too!
I'm have a bit of light blocking to do, you'll see a few light leaks. That's easily fixed with a bit of black gaffer's tape here and there on the...

In the meantime there was a sale on the TIE Bomber mesh I've wanted. So now I have this. I'm doing a dry test fit here, minus a few...
I've done some hard surface modeling in Blender but I'm really only fair at it. Everything I've printed so far is downloaded/purchased. Gambody, Myminifactory and CGTrader are really good sources.
The Bandai models pulled me back into building kits. Then last year I picked up a SLA 3D printer. That really opened things up. There's a ton of great stuff out there to print and build that isn't available to the pre-built collector's market. It was time to start building again.
I have a...
Another personal build. I just started printed X-Wing bits over the weekend:
While I'm sharing recent works these are projects from the last year
Perfect Grade Bandai Millennium Falcon
My current build - The USS Enterprise!
I printed this on an Anycubic Photon Mono X. The model is just under 28" long. This is an assembly of 3D printed parts over a steel frame. The stl data is from Merlin Models.
This is a work in progress. I still have some painting to do on the...
