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)

fantastic work! I do like the idea of the Armadillo just being the ubiquitous pattern that everyone has because they're rugged versatile base that can be found for cheap on the black market and modified to fit most any purpose. Really making me consider getting into Stargrave myself I was literally just typing up an ask as to what the tool was, and when I went to grab the timestamp it's right there for me already. Fuckin excellent word dude, you've outdone yourself again!

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 kinda doubt I'm gonna do any fancy electronics stuff with it, but we'll see what happens once i have the thing in hand. But I can tell you one thing, and that's that I really, really hope you make a video covering whatever you end up doing with yours.
