I'm sure I've seen some of these before, like the comical USS TIE Fighter. Has this link been posted in the past?

Sure, some of those models are kinda goofy (in particular, the starship/Darth Vader's TIE fighter kitbash), but they're better than anything I could ever build.

for scratch build, i really like Markus Nee's site and John Payne's site. really great work on both, and there are certainly no darth vader ships with thick, crude paint jobs on either. of all of them, the USS Venture on John Payne's site is my favorite.

the Edmund Fitzgerald and Grand Alliance on John's iste are truly great models. John gave me some good advice with some scratchbuilding a while back....he's darn kewel.

Yeah, Mike Putnam. Impressive work & interesting designs..very unconvetional. Uniqueness is his thing. And it shows.

All those guys are awesome. Even the designs I don't care for are well constructed. I think most of the work of the first guy is original enough that it almost doesn't even count as kitbashing, in my book. Same for alot of the work of the other two. The parts and pieces are altered so much they become pretty close to new pieces.

The USS Coer de Lion reminds me of the Excelsior study model that the ST: Magazine features this month.

People on flare have no clue what fanboy means. These ships are modern and sleek. Nothing about that says fanboy.
