First game came out in 1998, it is a fun RTS type game, if you like those kinds of games.
I scratch built this battlecrusier from it a few years ago.
StarCraft BattleCruiser (Scratchbuilt) FINISHED - Now with a ton of pics.
Heres a project I've been thinking of working on for a while. Couldn't find any models from this game other then a 3D printed one. Between the 2 games, I'm basing this more on the first game, although I will still change up some stuff depending on what looks best. The remastered HD version of...

Thanks. I had always done things like that with cardboard, posterboard and random stuff I found. But members here at the RPF helped encourage me with new things and ways to build.
I wasn't actually sure I would be able to fully build the thing when I first started in 2017.
I am still so glad how it turned out in the end.
I always enjoy a good scratch build and the different ways everyone tackles the issues they run into.

Final update before I (hopefully) begin coating it in gray spray paint this weekend. The current status of the ship is quite the colorful mess..What you see in this picture is a coat of thick acrylic paint (in any color I could find lol). This layer has helped a lot to smooth the surface of the ship and seal in the layer of gluey blue towels. This ship is super solid and hefty, and I'm excited to see the gray spray paint on it to begin detail paint work and panel drawing.

It sure is, hopefully the color scheme tops off all the work I've done instead of undermining it! Lol

I always keep tweaking with something until I get it how I want it even if it takes a while ....at least mostly.
Also the reason why I started paiting a bathroom last November, and after some wrong color issues and mainly, trying to get 2 colors to have a prefectly straight line....now here over 4 months later, I have one more edge to finish.

Added a clear coat and painted the stand, with some added Y-Wings from Mel Minatures for scale..I am calling the MC 80 Cruiser done for now and joined it with the rest of my scratch-built fleet. I titled it "Undying Freedom" and hope to take some more professional pictures in the coming weeks, so look out for those! Thanks for all the support of this build, it was a lot of fun to make something out of nothing.

Thank you! I enjoyed hand painting all of these but am looking forward to getting an airbrush at some point soon.
