Ok.. so first off.. welcome to Scalemates.
Second of all... this is awesome!
However, I require more information about these builds. Mostly around the what and how, but a bit of the why as well. Nice nice work.

Hi Greg, thanks! These are a mix of F-toys, Eduard, Zvezda and Armory 1/144 kits that I've been giving the works. The Defiant and FE2b are scratchbuilds in the same scale. Some are still needing a few details here and there, but most are at the stage now where I'm happy enough to call them done.
As to why? Perhaps its the challenge to a degree. But mostly its the love of extreme miniatures and that wonderful disconnect you feel when you see something convincingly large rendered so small. When its done well, its like a small, heavily armed butterfly just landed on your desk 🙂

That's an excellent job in any scale, but in 144? WOW! Looks like we have a fine addition to our madhouse, welcome 👍

I thought I recognized a few of those. It really is a great job. I've done some scratchbuilt upgrades to some 1/144 kits as well, so I'm already a fan of your work because I know how hard it is to do.

Welcome to SCM, your job is truly fantastic, I am busy myself on some 1/144 at the moment, I can recognise some of yours sincerely I have them on my bench at the moment....what I do not recognise is the quality....yours are a lot better! That engine is simply out of this world! You have another fan already 🙂

Haha! Thanks Spanjaard! My secret weapons are a set of digital calipers and a $3 pair of non-prescription 4x reading glasses.
Armed with those and a good set of drawings you can just do it by the numbers. 🙂

Some new pics of the Fe2. Layers of primer used to build up the rib tapes.

Perhaps separate albums for each of the builds would let us bask in their glory a little more easily. It's a bit hard to determine what's what.

Or, you could come over to the dark side and see where the real action is. 😉

Gorby, don't steal our new friends! 😉
Perhaps we can share him? 😄

Revisiting this (amazing) album. I really would love to see a separate album for some of the jewels that do not have that many pictures, like the I-153 😉
