Here is my latest model, the ‘Thunderfighter’ starship from Buck Rogers in the 25th century, built from studio scale kit made and offered by Timeslip Creations. I really enjoyed this build. The resin casting is excellent, with only minimal cleanup required. There are just over a dozen parts so you can put it together in a day. Painting is more work. I think I repainted the overall color about three times to get it just the right shade. The decals came with the kit but I added some of my own, and the figure is a scratch build from an old x-wing pilot. I had a custom acrylic stand and case made for the display.

Here is my latest model, the 1/100 scale Space Shuttle Orbiter by Tamiya. I was inspired to make this after a visit to Houston NASA last year. Built stock with only the addition of a resin base which I got from the RPF, and aftermarket decals from Warbird (which are way over scale!). This builds up in to a very nice looking model.

Thanks,
Trevor Alderson

Here are a few quick photos of my recently finished 22” MPC Eagle Transporter model. Built mostly stock with the added aluminum accessory kits for all the engine bells. Also added custom yellow LED lights to the cockpit! All finished with the iconic red stripes of the rescue vehicle. Hope you like it.

Cheers!

Here is a magnificent built by artist Trever Alderson!

This was a quick build from the Imai kit, circa 1988, I think. Based on the attack craft from the famous British TV show from the late 60’s – early 70’s.

It is a well known fact that this kit is not an accurate representation of the studio model(s), and many of the body and wing sizes and proportions are way off. If you want to achieve studio scale accuracy it basically needs a
complete new scratch build. In this case, I did not try to do much to correct the design errors, but instead wanted to produce a good looking model of the ship to go with my other UFO items (mobile, interceptor etc)...

I love this Blade Runner Spinner design….. and this build by Trevor! I especially like the scaled replica tiles on the base!

A few details – The base is completely scratch built with a surrounding of resin ‘Ennis’ house tiles which I created from a silicone mold taken from a styrene master I made. The light stand, parking meter and poster board are all scratch built, with a cobblestone street surface taken from 1/35 scale Miniart WWII building. The car itself has been modified with rubber wheels taken from a hot rod kit, and the Paragrafix photo etch kit. And of course, a custom LED light kit from Evans Lighting, plus additional LEDs I added to the interior and outer wheel covers. I also added a few kitbashed parts for more interior detail not provided with the kit or photo etch.

Artist Trevor Alderson returns with this great build of the Marines APC from ALIENS!!

Trevor Alderson here. These are the photos of my latest model, the 1/35 scale APC from Aliens made by Halcyon. I did major modifications to this model with lots of scratch built areas including a complete interior, engine bays on the drivers side and rear, main door and suspension. Also includes lots of photo etch and custom LED lighting. The fit of this model kit is difficult, so much time was spent sanding and filling to get seamless joints. This was all topped off with a custom display base and name tag, the 9V power runs through the front left tire. Next up is the Spinner car from Blade Runner.

I have again the honor of introducing another talent to this gallery…. artist Trevor Alderson! Showing here is his build of the Captain Cardboard V2 Studio Scale kit to be Red Leader. This piece is fantastic, from it’s build to it’s weathered markings and Death Star base! An excellent job!

This is what Trevor has to say…

This is my studio scale X-Wing resin kit, version II by Captain Cardboard, painted to resemble Red Leader with some of my own special touches added. I have installed a lighting kit from Lightbenders with flickering engine lights and fiber optics to the cockpit and droid. Laser cannons were cut off and completely rebuilt with aluminum tubing...
