Title: (SID) WIP ZONE

Been SLOWLY working... Its hard when you have an entire line to launch  ;)

I'll post previews here. These will be just shot on a phone camera so the details will not be super clear...

Another example. First "together" then "exploded" so you can see its all individual pieces... Make anything you want!

Lots of stuff coming folks... LOTS (pun intended).

Keep checking back and please share any ideas feedback and or requests.

If you "need" a fix. Check threw the Vehicles thread in the custom section on the rebelscum forums. Or my  vastly out dated...

I really love this site and its community so I will be making this my home for my posts (atleast before anywhere else... If I even bother).

New up dates coming this weekend... Snow is coming so hopefully I'll have enough buildings etc. built...

Been REALLY focusing on making prefab "space ghettos" they look really cool. Problem Is they only work with 3 3/4 scale (6" would be too huge to purchase/produce). These will be available in sets with a few other diorama parts/accessories.

....yikes... Time flew

I've been really close to finishing phase one of all the designs I want to put out as toy/models. But... Something felt missing. I developed some floor panel stuff (pics of that soon), and then it hit me... "HOUSES" and sure enough it was possible. I have 5x 96% finished so last night just caved and primed 2 of them.

I hope you enjoy. I tried to have fun making a  little scene.

New stuff soon. Took a break for awhile to switch gears into music.

All the creations shown will be for sale too. I wanted to add figures and not just have diorama / vehicle stuff  available... also had to go threw my very large collection/stock to weed out what I don''t "need" anymore.

Awesome ! How did you make the bunkers?

Awesome ! How did you make the bunkers?

Plastic containers. Its not easy to find the right size/shape and takes a lot of searching. They are then meticulous cut and covered with many details / parts that I've stockpiled.

The color you see in the photos is just a "Prime" which I will offer as the cheapest  option like $30-$35 (?) I think its crazy what people charge for stuff (cardboard / 3D print/ casts / etc.) and want to offer a much better product.

Glad you like what you see. please offer any ideas or suggestions.

Thanks I really appreciate it.

It's a kinda "any day now" thing as to when I have items up (haven't decided where to primarily sell). The basic stuff is the Bunkers / crates and floor pieces... Which I can diesel out about half dozen each a night.

Colors are a problem since I'm indecisive hahaha.

YIKES!  Year later... Just been too busy to finish stuff with all the other work I do. Been mostly focused on finishing music for my record label I just launched (currently at 16 of 57 planned releases 😵). But I've been tooling away on lots of figure stuff bit by bit so definitely expect bunch of stuff next month... Including selling all the stuff u see in my pictures.

Okay gang... The time has come. A few days ago was the cold open for the online store. After years of work and hardships it took the pandemic to get everything up in gear. The past year after enlisting my father for help (he now loves this stuff now more than me hahaha)... We have amassed SOOO much product that its just in piles everywhere in our basement / workshop. I cannot overstate that we have dozens upon dozens of each product ready to go, with others coming soon (since we work in batches and have to change gears for every type of piece). The prices are beyond reasonable and we are 1000% open to offer bulk discount on anything (message us first) and are ready for any type of commissions.

The products available now are just the tip of the iceberg, since we haven't had time to photograph everything. But understand that every piece is meticulously detailed as we have spent more time developing applications and sourcing materials than it takes time to build them! For instance: the "stands/platforms" are even coated in polyurethane, which not only make them pop in display but durable (non poly is also an option if you want that truly flat look).

Please browse our current aka 1st run of offerings and let us know what you like or want. MANY products are coming next month... in all types including figures, various sized vehicles, droids, large playsets (with lights even) honestly the amount of offerings is too large to list.

Here are some more pics of our various offerings. Soon we will have proper Kenner inspired photo-shoot (not some quick cellphone shots)... But you can get the idea for now especially if you compare photos and see the detail added to the WIP.

I hope all can enjoy. Since Imperial Shipyards is the 1st place we are offering our products for people to be exposed to our work. We love and appreciate this community. MTFBW always!!! 0/
