With these new commissions, I’m definitely on a Star Wars kick. Since stuff is drying and I have the motivation, I started on a new scratchbuild project. This ship is my own design for a 1/72 scale Corellian Light Freighter based on the Millennium Falcon’s design. I will build a…
The project is progressing nicely and at a halfway decent pace to boot despite the celluclay mistakes. I fixed all of the trees by making them thicker and that did the trick. They’re all now dry and painted-up. All that’s left is to mount them and add the finer vines…
…and so does the other stuff. Yeah… although some of you out there seem to think I am perfect at this (weirdos) you are sadly misinformed. I make mistakes, big and small, but in the end they all help me to learn and grow. Todays mistake is not a new…

The saga of producing the KV-X2 is about to come to an end. I have a pretty good relationship with the guys at Mig Productions being a frequent poster and recently the redesigner/technical admin on their forums. After my initial attempt with a poor caster failed, they suggested I give…
