Steve Blanes is already known for his past work on another fantastic Ansel Hsiao design. This one is nearly three times the volume of the first! The ASSERTOR is one of the largest designs Ansel has made.. and the most detailed. As you can see, Steve is doing outstanding work!

Here we are at 14 Months, roughly a halfway mark for my scratch built ASSERTOR Model. I had scaled back considerable detail Yet I am happy where I am with it. Now It is being moved in order to have room to build the bottom half.

The White Tiger LIVES! And so does his amazing project that he has breathed life into! The mega Star Destroyer ASSERTOR as designed by Ansel Hsiao is one of the most beautiful SSD designs of all time in my opinion. Steve is really doing a great job with the fine detail needed to make her appear tremendously huge!

Steve Blanes came into this art form full blast when he began utilizing digital artist Ansel Hsiao’s fantastic Star Destroyer designs and turning them into amazing physical models! Her is his newest venture… the ASSERTOR!!

Here is an update today on my Super Star Destroyer based on Ansel Hsiaos design. The progress is only at 30%. It may take another 6 months to finish. Once again 95% of this has been hand carved. The turbo Lasers have been printed by a 3dTouch printer.

After months creating his first scratch build, highly detailed and based of off Ansel Hsiao’s design, this piece has finally come to life! Nicely done!

Here is what Steve has to say…

“About 6 months ago I encountered Ansel Hsiao’s BELLATOR CLASS STAR BATTLECRUISER.

I was enthralled. I knew I had to build it, even though I had never scratch built anything ever before and that I also have Chronic Pain and Fatigue syndrome. It did not matter. it took 6 seeks to get enough money together and plan out a strategy. Pretty much my plan was to I carve styrene until I got my Bellator.

I believe it has 4500-5000 individual pieces.

After 4 months and 500 or so hours I finished my Star destroyer model! I thought this was something impossible for me to do. I taught myself and did it 99% scratch made...

This WIP by Steve Blanes is looking more and more detailed with each update! (SEE UPDATE 1 HERE!) This design by famed Ansel Hsiao is truly worthy of being done as a physical model…. and Steve Blanes is answering the call!

Based off the amazing Mega Star Destroyer design by Ansel Hsiao (SEEN HERE), newly shown artist Steve Blanes creates his first scratch build utilizing Ansel’s amazing design. This will be quite large at over 40 inches in length, and from the look of it… highly detailed. I am looking forward to viewing the finished piece from this artist known as The White Tiger.
