#greeblies

I saw Monday Knight Productions among the vendors at the Enfilade! convention this past weekend in Tacoma, WA. They had a large display of their Galactic Knights spaceships, originally released in 1978 by Superior Models for the Starfleet Wars game and distributed by Alnavco. Old ads and reviews mentioned their size but I still wasn't prepared for how massive the largest pieces are. The Avarian Super Galactic Dreadnought in the first pic is at least 6" long, cast in thick solid metal, and the largest space station ring is even wider. All the original sculpts appear to have been kitbashed from tiny greeblies in the classic sci-fi spaceship modeling style.

You can use pretty much anything as a greeble

Sci-fi artists when they don't know what to draw

Finally saw my brother today so could gift him this finished space ship model! He gave me a load of tat from his drawer at work for Xmas (on my request) and asked me to scratch build him “something that looks like it was on Scrapheap Challenge” - the ‘KF’ is his initials, and the “30” is cos he’s turning thirty in a couple weeks! Big thanks to @jackwardsfox for our ongoing support chat about tiny models and big ups to @nerdcrafthq @cuttransformglue and @billmakingstuff who have all been big inspiration to keep going, keep gluing bits of junk together and finding cool forms, and rusting everything to hell once I was done 🤟 . . . #miniatures #models #modelmaking #spaceship #scifi #scalemodels #scratchbuilding #kitbashing #greeblies #miniaturepainting #terrain #diorama #sculpture https://www.instagram.com/p/CQbdK34nEZy/?utm_medium=tumblr

Also thinking about color schemes. I was thinking this would be some kind of roadside assistance robot, but I think it would be better as a racing robot.

Another found part for the ESB Boba Fett Helmet is the Casio MQ-1 Pocket Calculator. The circuit board was used behind the keyslots of the helmet and the calculator buttons were used on the left hand gauntlet. I wish the prop team would have decided not to paint over the circuit board...still a cool piece though! #bobafett #bobafetthelmet #propreplica #foundparts #therpf #thede #thedentedhelmet #tdh #casiocalculator #vintage #replica #greeblies https://www.instagram.com/p/BsLyEW-grp9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qt31m0mptwu2

Been in the part time freelance trenches for a bit and now that most of it has wrapped up I can get back into making new stuff! SO happy to jump back on this Tigerbot helmet again. The greeblies are cast from a thing I found at Wasteland this year and a special custom part 3d printed for me by @tripdwyr ! I have been posting this sculpt progress to my patreon, will be continuing that as it progresses: https://www.patreon.com/missmonster #greeblies #tigerbot #cyborg #robot #helmet #monsterclay https://www.instagram.com/p/B7udd8MBgFc/?igshid=1sjha6nxiy5lp

Attack of the greeblies -- Super Galactic Dreadnoughts were large metal starship models by Superior Models, Inc, distributed by Alnavco in the US and Citadel in the UK (ad from The Space Gamer 29, Metagaming, July 1980)  Monday Knight Productions now makes these in metal and resin, along with the rest of the 5 Starfleet Wars fleets under the “Galactic Knights” name.  Alnavco is in its 52nd year of business and now owns and makes Superior’s 20th c naval lines.
