Long Live the Confederation!
We love when spaceships suddenly appear! We recently spotted a Bluesky user named Admiral Fluffy posting a pair of VERY impressive 3D-printed Kilrathi fighters. Check 'em out!

And now for something completely different. A Vaktoth heavy fighter, post-war, slightly used, from the Wing Commander series of video games. (post)





The most iconic Kilrathi figher(and arguably the most iconic ship of the Wing Commander franchise), the Dralthi! Again, went with a post-war look so I kept it cleaner than the Vaktoth as it'd stay at home more. I'd love to do a corvette, but I don't think the Cats legitimately kept any post-treaty. (post)

WC doesn't get nearly enough credit for its awesome starfighter designs.

I wanna be the first to know if a Bloodfang or a Sorthak ever join this lineup.
 
It’s great to see that others are also taking the time to build models from the Wing Commander universe.
At exhibitions, you usually only see sci-fi models from Star Wars or Star Trek.
Perry Rhodan and Battlestar Galactica are already considered real rarities there.

How much work someone puts into their hobby is up to them—first and foremost, the model has to please the builder, and only then others.
I usually need two or three tries myself before I’m satisfied with the result.

But no matter what: in the end, you’ve created a truly one-of-a-kind piece for your own home that brings you joy every day.

Keep it up, buddy!
