BSG background ship: Aries cargo hauler, kitbashed from various kits and subjects.
I am a long time model builder, straight out of the box, but kitbashing and studio scale are my favorite subjects.

BSG Eastern Alliance cruiser MKII
Studio scale modeling is frustrated excitement. Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica (BSG) started this obession for me. It is an exersice in frustration, identifying kit parts is a long and tedious road. But very rewarding once the proper kit is found
BSG Cylon mine: This one is very hard. There are only 2 hi-res photos available. Iding kits is a nightmare. I have had to make some concessions. The panels are held on with what I believe to be brass rod and strip, silver soldered together. This part of the build will be fun.
some examples that I am working on are seen below.

WWII SciFi future tech scout flyer
Field scout:
This model is from a genre I call future WW2 sci tech. Imagin WW2 didn't end, but new technology was brought online to gain an edge. But both the allies and axis have it. Fusion and plasma powered vehicles and weapons. To save time the vehicles abd weapons are modifies to use this new power.
This is a 1 man Scout flyer: I mainly used tamiya flak 36/37 88mm parts, 1/20 Formular 1 engine parts, an old ME 262 engine froma lindberg kit and the seat and control from a hasegawa focke wulfe 190.
Ma.K Fliegende Ratte
My scale addiction has led me to the genre of SF3D or as it is now known, Ma.K Maschinen Kreiger. A world far flung into the future of post apocalypic mech machines.
Bashed from several old rare kits, and a ping pong ball. As usual with this kind of bash there is lots of putty and sanding.
I had some time to bash more today. This was enjoyable.
I've been working on this all week. It is just about done, a little more seam work then painting will commence.
This is my first kitbash in the subject, the Fliegende Ratte, flying rat (spy drone).
