Have Yourself A Nerdy Little Christmas

Aleksander Stein

I honestly think that Aleksander Stein is the best military modeler, ever. The fact that his models are both detailed, functional, and that many of them have realistic camouflage color schemes, a difficult objective that a lot of military builders shy away from, places him at the top. They're system figure scale too, making them ripe for dioramas and displays.

Better than the average fan art

Quite amazing artwork inspired by the original starwars trilogy, by British poster artist Olly Moss:















I'm particularly in love with the Boba Fett/Bespin one, the integration of the city as the visor is nothing short of brilliant.

who also has *exquisite* taste in video-gaming.

Vehicular

Yummy space buggies from Cole Blaq and Tyler Clites, both incorporating the same windshield piece:





Both models are excellent examples of detailing. Tyler's does a great job capturing the utilitarian look with the sand red(!) color scheme and soft-core greebling by way of exposed studs and prefab parts, and I adore the rear suspension on Cole's.

I've also been impressed by Lord Dane's recent hardsuit thing, especially the armament.

Can I call it, "Float Punk"?

Inspired ski-fi artwork by Ian McQue. Via Conceptships. Also, he paints. I haven't been this captivated by someone's aesthetics and technique since I discovered Ashley Wood. Then again I don't look at enough art.

DRPA 1

Andreas H. (MOCPage, Flickr) throws down quite an awesome dio on a par normally reserved for adult fans, i.e. the likes of Goldman and Ried.



Fulla towers and bunkers and shtuff, as well as this nifty VTOL:



The asymmetric dual cockpit is saucy.
