"Atop your courage the Sapphire Flag has flown farther from the waters of Centrum than ever before, and atop your courage it shall fly farther still!" Incredible work!

[@jogarthehutt]

Just watched this video and you've inspired me to go back to scratch build again , it's been 10 years since I last built in my case it was a lack of inspiration, lose or confidence, Thank you

[@Sublight_Drive]

Nice! Glad I could inspire you to get back into the hobby. It’s definitely a lot of fun. If you’re looking for inspiration, you can always check out the template I made available!

[@theunknownmodeler3793]

Beautiful work! I just started watching your channel, loving every minute of it!!

[@andrewreynolds912]

As the fan of the sojourn, the Tripathia class is my most favorite and second most out of besides the Donnager class from the expanse, the audio book is amazing because it actually has multiple actors nor just a plan boring narrator and their actual sound effects and stuff is amazing and the plot is amazing including the acting I love the audiobook sci-fi drama is amazing, it's a must listen and people won't get bored listening to it as it goes along.

[@starmada105]

Oh man, that’s awesome. Please do the Huntress next, I’d love to see more love for the sojourn in the world.

[@elya_4471]

Awesome video and amazing build 🤩

[@colinxenofish8624]

Great work! Would love to see one at Al’s Hot chicken in Tacoma Washington which just had its grand opening!

[@Sublight_Drive]

Damn, same 😤😤💪💪🐓🐓

[@tubecontec]

Maybe add Kyle Katarns ship " the moldy crow" from the old starwars game "Dark forces 2: jedi knights" to your build list.

[@Sublight_Drive]

This would be a fun one! It’s got just the right mix of mostly flat pieces, with some curves to keep things interesting. Thank goodness for early 3D games with limits on polygons.

[@SultanOfAwesomeness]

Your work with all the micro cutting and tiny brushwork is absolutely astounding. It was so cool to see this come together. Masterful work!

[@GTRichardson7]

Looks great! so happy you have started doing VO! it really helps!

[@Sublight_Drive]

Glad you like it! I'll keep doing voice overs for intos and outros for sure, plus maybe in the middle if I want to explain anything more complicated than "i poke it like this"

[@abraxas365]

So, so, sooooo good looking! If you're looking for projects or inspiration, Babylon 5 Earth Force ships really fit your style and skills!

[@Iamvalcristvalentine]

Very cool to see spacedock reaching out to other creators. Love your stuff as always.

[@-MrFozzy-]

Irritatingly good,sir! So good

[@NiteReepa]

Do you think they'd consider releasing those orthogonal projections of their other ships so us viewers/listeners could model them too?

[@Sublight_Drive]

You’d have to ask, but I imagine so. There are already orthogonal wireframes out there, I would’ve used those if I didn’t have the hi res ones instead.

[@michaelanderson2166]

If you collect the styrene dust, you can mix it with acetone/ weld on and make a slurry/ bondo filler stuff.

What a great project. Keep up the good work.

[@TheKingTywinLannister]

Wow Amazing. I would have gone insane

I already have a long time ago

[@TheKingTywinLannister]

@@Sublight_Drive lol 😂

[@herpenderper]

Seeing how you check for square with the triangle ruler made me think how much more convenient a set of small 1-2-3/setup blocks would be for you. Maybe consider getting a set, they are not terribly expensive and have helped me a great deal with keeping things square during glue ups. Keep up the incredible work!

[@Sublight_Drive]

That’s a great idea! I do it by eye about as often as I actually measure, but that doesn’t always work as well as I’d like. 1 2 3 blocks would definitely be easier in those tight little corners.

[@rudyvalle9022]

Nice build! I recommend Circus City Decals for full color opaque custom water slide decals. Very high quality prints. White ink is available. You can print any design.

[@Sublight_Drive]

Sweet! I might have to check them out. Bit pricey compared to home printing, but might be worth it if I can come up with an entire page or two of decals I want. Could be interesting to design a set of “generic” decals that could go on any project.

[@planetamikel]

Nice video, I love space ships

[@roelantverhoeven371]

I love it when sci fi space ships are referred to in traditional naval terms, the dreadnought era in SW and most others.... but in this case the age of sail! a 3rd rate ship of the line would have been a two decked (sometimes 3) ship with 60 to 80 guns. ships of the 4rd rate would be considered frigates from 1750 onwards. USS Constitution was a 4th rate with her 44 guns. HMS Victory a first rate with 104!

[@MrShogunfish]

Great work! Would love to see one at Mad Chicken in Green Bay Wisconsin which just had its grand opening!

[@Sublight_Drive]

Maybe one day. I often dream of success beyond my wildest notions, thank you for this encouragement.

[@powerofanime1]

The patience, passion and precision that went into this build...it's gorgeous, man. You do really good work.

[@DarthP00P00]

Just found your channel a few days ago and I'm mulching through your videos day by day. Truly love your work. Crafting + spaceships, everything I need right now.

[@BLAZE084]

It’s just beautiful. I like it a lot.

[@jmdibonaventuro]

This one came out looking great! I recently tried to use my cad software to remake the Morrigan Class from The Expanse, which gave me a newfound appreciation for how hard it is to make 3d models of things that only appear in 2D. Although my Morrigan Attempts have thus far been unsuccessful, it has given me new insight into the difficulties of 3D spaceship modeling. Yours looks truly fantastic, so keep up the good work! -J

[@Chsae314]

Wow, that's incredible work! I absolutely love the Tripathia and you absolutely did it justice.

[@Squidmaster2470]

Awesome build!

[@Iamvalcristvalentine]

Hey again, As someone with a a bit of experience with decals. (Oh so many decals....) I strongly reccomend you Invest in a decal setting solution (microset or Tamiya decal solution) And hydrate the decal on a sponge rather than loose water. I have set hundreds of decals exactly like you did in the video and let me tell you, you are playing on hard mode. Cheers mate.

[@johnkelley9877]

Excellent work! It looks really good. Thanks for sharing this.

[@dr.birbmd7266]

Fantastic build, subbed.

[@powerofanime1]

Those text sound effects are adorable. XD

[@steampaul3442]

i don't know if there's an error with my pc or something, but i only got music on my right ear during the assembly/detailing sections

[@Sublight_Drive]

Ah hell, that's on my end. I did some audio shuffling near the end and forgot to set that channel to mono. Hopefully it isn't too distracting.

[@Iskelderon]

Thanks for this video! I'm currently looking into scratchbuilding elements for sci-fi model dioramas and this video convinced me to subscribe to your channel to learn from your work.

[@maximilianhaller4428]

It's a really cool recreation of the original vessle, but did the music really had to be monostereo? I had to turn it off so I could enjoy the build. :(

[@NeocadeX]

Daniel would be proud.

[@Psychlist1972]

Nice build and painting.

[@ultramarinus2478]

Good work, although i would like more to see the Confidance type frigate. Possibly with electricaly motivated movement of the gravity drum inside the drum hull. But the main word - Your modelers work is beautifull, and i do not immagine myself to make it as good on the first try.

[@marcoscaba3846]

An intelligent design and enjoyable build.

[@joelmulder]

This is so cool! You’ve inspired me to try making something like this as well. It doesn’t look easy, but it looks like something that’s doable.

[@Sublight_Drive]

Sweet! If you haven't seen it already, I have another video that I think makes a good beginner intro. You can even get the templates to try it yourself!

[@joelmulder]

@@Sublight_Drive I certainly have! :) Looking forward to your future videos! Perhaps something from The Expanse?

[@kurogiza]

This is really good, I love the build and the attention to detail.

[@alessiodecarolis]

REALLY great job, can I suggest next time you could make some holes to insert some rods btw the pieces, so to strenght the bond. P.s. some time ago I saw some plasticard printed as graph paper, this one could help you a lot for your wonderful works.👍

[@Sublight_Drive]

I did actually consider this, but I chose not to for two reasons: First, I was unsure how to get the registration precise enough on the holes, and second, because it’s hollow, any rods down the middle would only be making contact where the pieces are being joined, anyway. In the end I made a judgement call and decided that between how little it weighs (

[@reentrysfs6317]

This looks awesome

[@shawnasbury7375]

As awesome as this is, there is no way I could do it so I think I'll wait till a model kit version comes out. At least, it is my hope that model kits get made. I know I'd probably try and get my hands on all of the ships.

[@noahk7985]

Could you build Archimedes from Watchmen? The shape of the ship might be a challenge but I think you would pull it off greatly.

[@Cashatoo]

Well now you gotta do a bigger one! A neat way to get orthogonal projections is use Microsoft 3D Viewer and a 3D model. I'm doing your technique with a ship from Elite: Dangerous. Between custom lighting/shadow colors and a background grid, tracing is a snap.

[@Sublight_Drive]

Nice! Learning more about how to use 3D programs is on my bucket list, but it’s a steep learning curve.

[@Cashatoo]

@@Sublight_Drive Microsoft 3D viewer is an excellent place to start. It's free and really "only" lets you view the model and change lighting.

[@PulsefiredGaming]

I want to be able to 3d print the ships, especially the tripathia class

[@psycholocke4090]

Some dry brushing would make the edges p Really pop nice and enhance the technical look and feel

[@judgsmith]

I love how he used an actual model of a rocket engine as the rocket engine.

[@thefantasticdrill788]

The music here is so familiar yet I can’t exactly nail it down, does anyone know what it is? Regardless, I love this channel’s amazing scratchbuilds

[@Psychlist1972]

I like the music in the intro first segment. It's a bit of "we have Boards of Canada at home". The Assembly segment music only came out of my right speaker, which was very distracting. The rest of the audio came out of both, so you probably accidentally moved the music track to a mono track or something. Edit: the track in the Painting segment is also a mono mix for some reason, but you have it centered, so it's better.

[@someguy7294]

POG!

[@planetamikel]

Realmente genial.

[@Firen_Fox]

Could you maybe make a ship from "Star citizens" any would do

[@dakel20]

Will these plans be up for sale again at some point? And maybe the Cantwell?

[@Sublight_Drive]

I have no plans to sell templates for any ships that aren’t 100% my original work. Sorry! Rights aside, getting the templates to a point where they’re presentable as a product is a lot of work, and works best on designs where I have reproducibility in mind from the start.

[@dakel20]

@@Sublight_Drive that's totally fair and understandable! Hope to see more original designs from ya in the future, 'cause they look great, and I just bought a whole bunch of star wars paints begging for more sci-fi stuff beyond Ma.K. :D

Could you build Super Galaxy Tenga Toppa Gurren Lagann from TTGL? The shape of the ship might be a challenge but I think you would would pull it off greatly.

[@ThatGuyKal]

What sort of clear coat do you find best?

[@Sublight_Drive]

I haven’t found reason to distinguish between brands at all. I usually use a satin coat because it’s what I have, and isn’t as intense as a gloss coat. I imagine a matte coat would take better to being painted on, if you’re doing multiple layers.

[@Allegheny500]

I do have to ask, how did you get white printed on the decals?

[@Sublight_Drive]

I didn’t- I painted a white rectangle underneath where I planned to put the decal, and left the white parts of the image transparent.

[@Allegheny500]

@@Sublight_Drive Dang, I hoped you might have found a white printer cartridge. Good to know, thanks.

[@BLACK_0_2]

What is the glue you used gor this?

[@BLACK_0_2]

*for

[@Sublight_Drive]

I use Weld-On 3. Technically it’s a cement, not a glue, since it actually dissolves the plastic so that it welds itself together.

[@BLACK_0_2]

Thanks! I need this type of adhesive as the one I use sticks itself to my hands and it's a struggle to get it off.

[@joejones7060]

What software are you using to create your templates with?

[@Sublight_Drive]

The Affinity suite of applications. I highly recommend them as an alternative to Adobe stuff.
