SAC SOLDIERS ASSAULT NATO EMBASSY IN JAPAN, SHOOT-OUT ENSUES WITH LOCAL POLICE.

Craig adds, "Most of you won't understand this; that's ok. Just keep moving along, and pretend I didn't post anything."

I enjoy the seriousness and quiet presentation. While there is only one picture on his photostream, the composition makes for quite a realistic scene. Actually the briefness inserts a frantic, uncertain air. The situation in Egypt comes to mind.

Mike Yoder made a more elaborate, light-hearted diorama with accompanying back story.

Also, Crimso Giger is up to his usual zaniness.



Keith Goldman as well.

Fyeah

Shaping is brilliant, controlled two-tone colorscheme is thoughtful.

I also don't really know what this is:



Bartosz Kacprzyk is "the oneman".

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.
