This Amazing Spaceship Was Completely Scratch Built!

This guy is a freakin" genius, I have accepted the fact that my skill set will never be this complete, but to incorporate some of these techniques into my own scratch builds is the goal, lofty as it is, I hardly ever build out of the box on most of my builds either, I just love to modify kits and add detail.

I'm a scratch model builder myself so I very much appreciate all of the painstaking work that went into these models. Most of my models are of classic firearms made of wood then painted in actual colors.

[@PaintpalSue]

Thank you, BP! Incredible and inspiring work, I loved the depth of the story…another great interview, Norm. You have a gift for asking the right questions!

Maquettes where the creator has not only envisioned the exterior, but also the interior AND made the two based on an idea, are the best. Not bashing the other ones, but it takes a lot to cook something that's constrained by rules, where creativity needs to flow along rigid elements.

Such clean work.

B.P. never fails to impress and inspire. These were lovely to see in person.

This series has shown me some amazing creators, but these this guy is blowing me away. These two are amazing.

Scratch building has been the standard way to make SF models. The new way seems to be to CAD the designs first in a computer then if a physical model is desired, use a 3D printer to make the parts and assemble them.

[@Markus_Andrew]

What an amazing scratch build! I actually like his approach of not weathering spaceships very much. That makes sense considering there isn't any weather in space - there's not exactly a lot of stuff out there which could "dirty up" a spaceship. It may be different for a ship which could theoretically land and take off from dusty planets, but this beauty obviously lives entirely in space.

[@garble7]

I do think an electric charge on the ship could attract dust. Heck even gravity could attract the dust. Old enough ships might gather quite a bit.

[@Markus_Andrew]

@@garble7 Good points.

[@ARobertBluefield]

also i find that heavy handed weathering on ship models can ruin the scale

[@JeffEbe-te2xs]

Umm Micro meaderites Dust from static electricity

[@boltonky]

Some people are just out of this world, the human mind is amazing ...Great models

[@kevinmaloney2391]

BP's work is FANTASTIC!! I love the color of the cargo ship. Both ships are reminiscent of somthing you would see in a Gerry Anderson show. These ships have elements of design that would make Derek Meddings and Martin Bower proud. AGAIN FANTASTIC JOB!!!

[@Lucien86]

What an amazingly skilled and talented model maker. Writing in hard SF I have a long obsession with building more realistic looking larger spacecraft. So far no one really gets close but this is about as close as it gets.

echos of the Valley Forge - in a realy good way :-) fantastic work

[@williamporter7596]

What fantastic old school scratch building. Great, very detailed work indeed.

[@Outland9000]

Love the hard Sci-Fi approach to the design.

[@StudioKaiju]

BP is amazeballs! I tasked him with building a ship that was going to be used by the main villain in a no-budget TV series I produce (see his T-shirt for a clue) and unfortunately due to some issues I had to change those plans, so that model, which is GORGEOUS, is now slated to take a more front/center approach in the spin-off. I didn't want to waste his work on a one-off episode.

[@thomkuhlman12]

The X shaped scratch built ship looks like a 1940's version of a Gunstar from the Last Starfighter.

[@MrHws5mp]

Two terrific models! That tail-sitter VTOL is that sort of thing I've been saying for ages would have been a more logical configuration for the Moon base interceptors in UFO (the Gerry Anderson series).

[@2000jago]

I love these! This is fantastic work.

[@sobski]

That VTOL design is amazing!

[@DaveCessford-tf2ws]

Lovely work and nice to see model spacecraft that don't look as if they have been down a coal mine! Craft used in space just don't get very dirty - they are in a near vacuum. Too many model spacecraft are weathered to death without any thought as to were all the dirt is coming from.

[@hobbyhermit66]

👍 This ship is more realistic than a lot of the sci-fi movie offerings. The reason being, it is round. By necessity, anything designed for habitation in space will have to be cylindrical or spherical, or a combination of both. Because it will have to be a pressure vessel to contain air.

[@DreadPirateRobrt]

It has Babylon 5, Matrix, and Battlestar Galactica aspects to it. I love it all.

[@hobby-artestudios]

[@roryoutdoors5431]

“Open the pod bay doors please HAL…” I’m sorry Dave, the pods have been retrofit into storage. 😂 An Erlenmeyer flask!!! Wow that’s genius - the front and other sections remind me of The Black Hole!

[@litlclutch]

Both of those ships are beautiful but my fav of the two is the cargo vessel... it's one beautiful flower

[@chilledburrito]

Awesome build, took me a back for a sec because of the visual similarities to KSP builds, including some of mine. It's crazy how the design philosophy lines up.

[@eddiec1960]

The scratch built ship is very reminiscent of Thunderbird 1. Very cool!

Wow,, that's perfect.

[@lorawaring883]

Beautiful ships

[@Games_and_Music]

I really should start buying random kits, to eventually make a good selection out of them to build my own ship(s). I like the idea of a long range fighter that BP showed, because that has always been kind of a bummer on the TIE Fighter, that it is always meant to be so short range. And i like the moving seat, kinda reminded me a bit of the redundant mechanics in the Thunderbirds sequences, just for the sake of it looking more interesting. And of course, i'd love to have my own flagship, complete with the fighter bay and possibly some tiny short range fighters like the ME163 Komet to protect it. I can do this all in Photoshop, but nothing beats having the actual physical objects in your hands.

[@Stubbino]

The cargo ship leaps right out of the Battletech universe as a jump ship.

[@richerickson4218]

amazing work!

[@stagger87]

The Bots in the comment section of all YT videos are really out in force ATM 😅, that aside, absolutely gorgeous builds!! They're just incredible

This is amazing! Is there anywhere I can go to see more of BP's art/work, by chance? I'd love to see some stills of the Fleur de Lune (I think that's what it is called) 😃

If Thunderbirds and star war had a baby.... awesome work.

[@pendaco]

The nose cone of the 2nd ship looks like Thunderbird 1 😎

[@jokerace8227]

To my eyes it looks perfect for scenes in The Expanse, or would have even worked perfect in 2001 or 2010.

Could pass for a battletech jumpship

Tbh, the long cargo ship looks practically identical to the most common class of civilian FTL Jump-ships in the Battletech universe.

I think this is something I’d love to learn to do but unfortunately I think it’s too late. No time and no money to buy all the tools needed to start a journey like this.

Nice work! Cool futuristic industrial design, wish they would be more realism and physical based. Like radiators to desepate heat instead of solar panels. Also due to location some will be covered by hull and have limited angle, has low efficiency on long distance, so more like an additional source of energy.

[@ZenHulk]

You know, i like Norm a lot, he seems fun, is he?

I thought this video was about KSP The only actual space physics game in 2024. Think about that Adam. There is no "flight simulator 2000" let me rephrase that "space simulator 2024" in 2024. Why? Adam why?
