Kevin's non-dino model work and commissions

[kevin]

So, I do other work besides dinos, mostly sci-fi stuff:

Original Enterprise;







Enterprise B:

Kevin, a really nice complement to a lot of the models you paint would be some palm trees. I got a Palmetto kit here: www.hartofthesouth.com/page4.html
you can see it in my Jobaria diorama; it actually took me longer to make the tree than to paint the 4 dinos (!). Still, it turned out pretty nice, so I recommend it if you have the time and patience.

Plus, once you have a few, you can re-use them endlessly.

I would not mind, if i had more room. But right now, the dinos are stacking two deep, and none are able to be properly displayed, especially with trees.

If you send some of those cool repaint Dinosaurs to my house then you would have room, and you could repaint the trees.

K'TINGA CLASS KLINGON CRUISE:

I took over 18 shots of this one. I recommend following the link, it is heavily customed with spare pieces of my Falcon model to approximate the look of missing detail areas, and include the plasma canons missing on the original:







Many, many detailed shots here:

VULCANSHUTTLE:

I got this from a friend, who had had it since we were kids. I did the best I could with it, but it would have been best with a new kit...:

Nice work.
I like what you did with the Star Destroyer, not the standard white. Is that the model that you could fit with all those tiny LED's?

I have the same models, the Destroyer and the X-Wing. Not as nicely painted though... I made them when I was sixteen years old and had just started modelling!

[kevin]

The destroyer is the standard amt kit. the lit one was the same, but with a micro drill and lights. I din't light anything, it is all paint to simulate the lighting effect.

I have many more to go, if anyone is interested, or don't mind....?

Now, with the two above, the hull pattern, called an Aztec pattern, was all done freestyle. No airgun or masks. I did use aftermarket decals on the D to get better accuracy for the markings and lettering. On the next one, the E, I bought the aftermarket kits that included decals for the hull patterns as well, since the model itself was too small to effectively replicate it by hand.

REBEL SNOWSPEEDER:

Used a butter knife heated up on the stove to carve into this to represent blaster scorches and damage.

KLINGON BIRD OF PREY

This is the first model I did after not having done any for ten years. I went from this to the tamiyas to the toys. I did this about three years ago

Was this the one with the Afrovenator in the dinosaur toy blog's contest? Where did you find figures of those two dinosaurs? If you have spares, could I buy/trade for them? A random question: were they actual Afrovenator and Jobaria or repaints and remodels of other dinosaurs? BTW Afrovenator and Jobaria didn't live together.
