More in the works... only about 2 weeks behind now. 
More tomorrow. The weather around here should be better, so I can get some painting done.

Happy late New Year, everybody. 
It's been too busy starting off this year going out of town for work (http://fetc.org/), and getting back to normal after the holidays.
But I'm back working on models again getting ready for PENSACON 2016! We've got just over a month until things get started, and I'm making progress on all the items I'll be bringing with me.
Today, I got the Ancient Battle-Cruisers primed and painted, both versions of the Sonic Screwdriver painted; a couple Serenity models painted; and USS Challenger is primed.
More soon.

Yes! Very nice! Back to form!
Thanks guys. Yep, I can see the source of confusion.

Me again,
Made some more progress on my 16'' Refit Enterprise model. When I'm done, it should look like the gold ships from the Enterprise E conference room.
Still need to add windows and other stuff, but it's coming along well.

Ricky:
From a modeling standpoint, breaking the nacelle struts into three pieces could lead to potential joint issues (misalignment, sagging, breaking, mass hysteria...). I'd recommend seeing if you could keep it one piece, with slot/tab fit on either end.
Just my two credits.... YMMV.

True, that could be an issue. My plan at this point is to use steel rods as reinforcement on both sides of the pylons. I'd prefer to do it all in one piece, but it'll be easier to print out this way.
More stuff tonight... pretty much got the Helicarrier blocked out to the right proportions, and got the shape of the bottom hull a lot closer to the right shape. Time for details, now.

Amazing! I'm anxious to see the final turnout of the refit Enterprise, especially, but this is all great!
Thanks. Me too... I'm planning on building myself one, too.
Tonight, before The X-Files, I got a little more done on Destiny:
Not much more to do, now. I've got to stick some details on the underside, and then I can start chopping it up.

Good Morning everybody. I've been working on this for Atolm for several weeks now, and it's just about finished. It's exactly what it looks like, a Dinosaur / siege tower / tank.
It'll also be articulated, so the mouth opens, and the body part can lean forward.

Calling this one done. It should be headed to the printer tomorrow. Assenbled, it should be about 8 inches long, and about 6 wide.
Almost caught up.

Thanks.
Finally, I finished a model. I feel like I've been working and working, but not accomplishing anything lately.
I really like how this one turned out. Going to work on Destiny some more, tonight.

Still plugging along... almost done with this one.
I've got the main shapes pretty much done, just time to keep adding detail. It's coming out pretty good, I think.

More stuff... making really good progress on my convention display. My goal was 20 models, and I think I'll be close... just have to finish a few more. I have some more busts, and a Warp Lamp in the works.
Also, Destiny is finished, as is the 12th Doc's screwdriver:
And, I started another new project... a 1' tall Endor Planetary Shield Generator. I'm planning on making the dish adjustable, too.
More stuff soon.

Got the Helicarrier ready to print! Hopefully I'll have it on the printer this weekend.
More soon.
