Cool build! Another technique you might like is panel scribing, from the gunpla world. Basically tape and templates to guide scribing tools to add your own panel lines to plastic surfaces. Too bad about the tamiya paints over hairspray. I think they are alcohol based, not water, so I guess the reactivation properties are different. Good lesson, thanks for not editing it out. Cheers!

Stargrave is pretty legit, but one you might also wanna try? Reality's Edge. If you need a list of 'NPC minis' that appear in the game I can compile that for you before you make the buy, just respond here and I've got you. Could also help you with Stargrave's 'required minis' if you like, I've got the main book and 2x expansions. (Could also point you in the direction to find minis that work great for them if you like)

The ships turned out great. The drop ship with the lighting and internal details was sweet as hell. The Buzz Lightyear toys are great for sci-fi. I have two... the "drop ship" and the Zurg fighter... and they work so well for gaming. Scale is spot on for 28mm minis. Use them in Stargrave, Space Weirdos, and Space Station Zero. Went with a hot rod red look for the fighter as well. It just looks like a sports car version of a spaceship.

You may be interested in the Rebel Moon popcorn bucket dropships. The film tanked so they're usually on clearance for $7-15 USD. They have a weathered paintjob so they're table ready out of the box, no need for covering up the bright child-friendly colours. It's hollow with a flat bottom and removable upper 'lid' leaving the option for fun interior builds. Decent scale for 28mm stuff, looks nice. Could use a small fleet of the things if only for filling out a space port parking lot to play through, but the conversion potential looks great.

I've been looking forward to this one since you put up the WiP shots, turned out really cool, and the Armidillo makes a nice, realistically sized dropship. I have the 2 Lightyear fighters. Weirdly the figure with them is 28mm (or thereabouts) but the ships themselves just look too small. I plan to use them mostly for my 15mm stuff as they look more suited to that.
