Look What I Found
I recently discovered the entries page for StarshipModeler.com's 15th annual contest, which wrapped up in November of 2007.
I could spend all day looking at the results of other people's hard work instead of doing my own. In case you can't, here are some highlights.
"Abandoned Refuge" (1st place in the Kit category and awesometacular)
"Viper Mk II"
"Madder Max"
Apollo (I can't believe this isn't a kit, and it's only 5" long)
"Starscream's Brigade"
Vertibird Crash (a scene from Fallout 2, which is awesome, but not as awesome as the next one)
Street Scene (also from Fallout 2, by the same guy; look at all those photos! Maybe it isn't quite as amazing if you never played the game)
"Remains of Winter" (he even modeled a squirrel)
"... and those Norwegians blew it up."
"Junkyard Dogs" (a bunch of remarkable models, some from scratch)
