    SS Agamemnon - The first 'modern' cargo carrier

    Sure thing, Zathros!! I'll put the file in the download section once everything's finished up. And the model itself is done, so have some crappy pictures!

    SS Agamemnon - The first 'modern' cargo carrier

    Sorry about the crappy photo quality - we don't exactly have a lot of desk space here at the academy, haha masts & superstructure added:

    SS Agamemnon - The first 'modern' cargo carrier

    I've been on a bit of a Joseph Conrad streak (blame my obsession with the Alien franchise) lately, and I figured I might as well do a model related to sea trade during the Victorian Era! I've always been fascinated with the tea clippers of the era, and by proxy, the SS Agamemnon, arguably the...

    Yep...unfortunately, I'm not *that* good yet to make a properly curvy Lola, hahaha

    Blessings of the State... Lola T70 from THX 1138

    Now don't get me wrong, I dislike most of George Lucas's cinematic 'style' as much as the next guy - hell, Plinkett's prequel reviews are some of my favorite videos out there - but I'll admit that early-Lucas did show promise.... While a lot of cinephiles may be on the fence about THX 1138, I...

    The UNSC Pillar of Autumn

    Sorry for the late replies; bogged down with registration for next semester, and the academy's wifi is about as reliable as a pool cue made of boiled spaghetti. Buuuut, I'm gonna use this moment of wifi-lucidity to post some build pics. Hopefully the model will be up before the end of next week.

    The UNSC Pillar of Autumn

    So, remember like five or so years ago when I started paper modeling and was only marginally worse than I am now? I think one of my first models was the UNSC Pillar of Autumn, which I have since redone countless times. Well, I believe that this should be the definitive version of that model...

    Hornblower's Hotspur

    I wish I could delve right into the model-related waffle and faff on and on about the design and build process, but unfortunately, this particular build is one marked by tragedy. On Friday, October 2, 2015, at around 0700 local time, the cargo vessel El Faro sent a distress signal. Today, at...

    Starship Troopers Power Armor

    Almost ready to publish! Enjoy a nice little ad/propaganda by the makers of the powered suit! I tried to give it a '50's magazine ad feel, while just lathering it with the sickening 'mandatory fun' pep that any military man has come to know and 'love'....

    Starship Troopers Power Armor

    aaaand model done!! It turned out a lot better than I had expected and looks pretty much like how I pictured the armor to be like in the book. I'm still trying to get back on the horse as it were, so I'm a bit dissatisfied with certain details (or lack thereof) here and there...but still, I'd...
