Some of my work...
Hey fellas! I don't know if anyone here would remember me (I joined back in 2005, and have made a total of 36 posts since then, lol), but I just wanted to share a few of pics of some of the scratch-build prop work I've done for my own collection:

I just wanted to share some of the hard work I've put into some of my own collection pieces, is all. I hope everyone likes what they see.
In case anyone hadn't noticed, my preferred medium of choice for my scratch-build projects is plain ol' sheet styrene; it's amazing just how versatile that material is. You can use it for just about anything.
In some of the above projects, I used styrene for simple alterations, whereas for others the piece(s) was made entirely out of nothing
but styrene, built up in layers. Man, I love that stuff, lol.
Comments? Questions? Both are welcome... :)
