Supermarine Walrus Mk.I – Part 1

Supermarine Walrus Mk.I – Part 1

Comments 0 Comment

They’re most famous for the Spitfire, but Supermarine mostly made flying boats. The Supermarine Walrus was an amphibious reconnaissance aircraft, carried aboard Royal Navy capital ships and cruisers during the Second World War. Many were also operated directly by the Royal Air Force. The Royal Australian Air Force and the Argentine Navy had examples in service as well. The King George V class ships each carried a pair of Walruses, until their aircraft handling gear was removed during their 1943—44…

HMS King George V – Part 1

I started working on this model of the British battleship HMS King George V way back in 2004. To be fair, I considered it finished, excluding textures, sometime in 2006. However, I never quite did get around to making those textures! A mere nine years later, in October 2015, I decided to try and finish it. Nine years is a long time. Computers are more powerful, and my skills have improved. I could not simply ‘finish’ the model, as originally planned….

I’ve always had a bit of a soft-spot for this slightly ungainly kitbash design. It comes from an early Star Trek: TNG episode, representing Picard’s former command, the USS Stargazer. It seems like a long time ago that I started this one. Well, it was – back in 2011, in fact! I tend to work on this only quite sporadically. Most recently, I have focused on some interior corridor sets. Exterior Details This design has a lot of surface detailing…

The MP4/8 was McLaren’s entry to the 1993 Formula One World Championship. Honda had pulled out of F1 at the end of the ’92 season. McLaren then had to use the unsatisfactory Ford and Peugeot engines for a couple of years, until they began their very long partnership with Mercedes. This is a repost of some of my more recent old work. The full project can be seen on the archived old site, here. Ayrton Senna This was the car…

Just a quick project I worked on in 2009. The Cheyenne-class was one of several kitbashed models that appeared very briefly on screen in the TNG episode ‘Best of Both Worlds’, in the Wolf 359 graveyard scene. I decided to flesh the design out properly. This included some slight reworking of areas that I didn’t like. For example, the original model used marker pens for the engines! You can see the original model at Memory Alpha. Cheyenne-class Model The main…

So when I said I wasn’t going to be reposting old stuff, that wasn’t entirely accurate. For whatever reason, there are some things that I never got around to posting to my old site. I am going to drop a few of them in here – starting with the Cardassian Galor class ship, and its bulkier cousin, the Keldon class (from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine). I made these way back in 2008. You can see…

Fresh Look!

Fresh Look!

It was high time for a change from the old site design – so here is something totally different! This is going to be much more free-flowing than before, and it’s also completely mobile-friendly. I’ll probably be tweaking things for a while. I’m not going to bother re-posting everything from the old version of the site – instead, I have decided to keep the old site available via the Old Site link on the top menu bar. Obviously, I won’t…
