MADE TO ORDER STARTREK ships and weapons range. I have a full range of Star Trek universe ships these are all taken from 3d CGI models and then converted into STL files for printing. We make models in studio scale or larger ! these models are static representations of the original studio models used These are not resin moulds or cast plastic there are 1st generation prototyping models taken from a 3d file and printed out: using SLA and FDM printing technology. Every single model I make are printed out on peopoly phenom L Anycubic max and cr-10 printers .these are the largest printers available on a primary layer height of 0.1000 mm or even less! That’s about as fine as you can print with in practical time frame (parts can take weeks to print out) with 3d The SLA printing has no lines at all! however due to the scale of some of the models we make FDM printing is also used and Even at this quality you still have visible lines with this PLA plastic which would be visible in the BASIC options , ABS is much finer but not stable and prone to warp and cracking during the process and not good for production of large models like these. This is basically a plastic model with a honey comb structure between the layers as its builds up ;FDM it can tolerate temp; to 150 degrees before any warping might occur SLA has no issue with heat It takes roughly 2 to 3 months to complete one model this includes the fine sanding and painting time; (this time frame is is based on availability of the printers at the time of making your ordering it is first come bases ) I have currently 12 printers printing models 24 /7 and I am adding more printers all the time, Complete models or Display models This is a complete model finished and painted with lighting (if lighting was shown ) with decals and stand as seen in the photos of the completed models that have been ordered . In some of our range we do offer BASIC and kit form to the more skilled model makers however ! please note these will require a lot more skill and clean up ; Basic has no clean up or per preparation done to the model Kit are the same as buying a plastic model kit and assemble and finishing is required the web site will indicate which models are available in these options Depending on the size of the model (some these models will be over 4 feet long) Some; sub-assembly and slight touch up of paint at the joint areas may be required . As many of these are unique studio size models and also large models ,they require extra protection for shipping. The built finished models will be shipped in wooden crates for total protection which will be an extra costs. SHIPPING is done by getting a basic quote from the shipping company once the model is compete and packaged to get a total shipping price at which time payment would be made for shipping .we recommended that you do not take the cheapest options and that you request that the shipping company will cover the full value of the model should damage occur . once the model leaves our hands we are not responsible for damages that my occur ! Payment Payment process payment can be made PayPal craggsmodels or bank transfer. These are made to order models so payment must be made before any work is started. And no refund is possible once we start making your model

Best hobby paint station for painting miniatures and models?

The ideal hobby workstation for miniature painting and modeling for you depends on your available space, your workflow, hobby needs, e.g., paints and tools, and available budget. You may even care about aesthetic and appearance. A great hobby paint station may be highly functional, but ugly and appear too DIY or cheap-looking.

For a great hobby carry case that you will help you stay organized even when you travel, you’ll love using cosmetic organizer boxes and cases , such as this cosmetic travel organizer or a professional makeup train case . These are affordable, handsome (stylish), and perfect for traveling with your hobby supplies and paints. Cosmetic cases are sturdy, built for storage and travel, and have easy access to your hobby stuff.

If you’re looking for a paint station that doesn’t take up much space and keeps your organized, a modular hobby workstation is a good option. For dedicated hobby spaces, check out this review of other useful hobby paint storage racks and organizers . Here is a great overview for those of you looking to design your perfect DIY workspace .

Are you looking for a dedicated hobby space you call “home”, but need to keep it compact or storage- and travel-ready? Continue reading to see what else you should consider for your ideal workstation and a review of the top 13 mobile workstations for miniature painting and modeling hobbies.

Why should you be organized with a hobby paint workstation?

There are 5 key reasons a hobby paint station is important for any miniature painter and hobbyist:

1. Saves you time

Time is your most valuable resource. You can never get your time back. By staying organized, you spend all your free time doing the things you enjoy rather than wasting it on clutter. If you’re trying to get the most done with your miniature painting hobby, staying organized with a hobby paint station will help you get into “the groove” and finish projects more efficiently.

2. Reduce stress

A cluttered work space is a recipe for stress, according to psychologists . Even when you’re not working at your hobby desk, the mere sight of the messy space can trigger a stress response. The visual of clutter reminds you of the frustration that painting miniatures in a messy environment. A workstation takes your haphazard space and contains it in a pleasant compartment of joy (yeah, joy).

3. More creativity

To get your creative juices flowing, you need to remove as many barriers to your art as possible. For miniature painting, creativity is a key element in learning how to harmonize color, contrast, and composition . When you’re drained from a hard day at work, or other responsibilities, e.g., household chores, the last thing you want to do is more cleanup at your hobby desk. Look, when you’re exhausted, creativity is the first casualty.

4. Locate things, fast

An model paint organizer, paint organizing box, or miniature painting station can help keep you calm. Some even close with latches so you can store your stuff unseen. Perhaps, you travel a lot and want to take your hobby painting with you. A portable miniature paint station will be your best option. In either case, with an organized hobby workstation you’ll find what you need quickly!

5. Meet deadlines

So, you have a miniature painting league coming up? Or, maybe a commission you need to finish? You’re more likely to meet your deadlines if you have a dedicated workspace for your hobby miniature painting. With a nice workstation, you can jump right in (or out) of a project when time permits. No need to wade through your things to start working. A hobby paint station liberates you from what holds you back!

Bonus: Make more money

This doesn’t apply to everyone, but for those who make money from their hobbies , “time is money”. If you save time doing things that aren’t impacting your work, then you’re losing financially. Efficiency leads to increased profits, and without sacrificing quality. Maybe a hobby workstation is best investment you make in your miniature painting and modeling hobby or business?

Portable versus dedicated hobby workstations?

A quick word on portability versus dedicated hobby workstations. Your challenge is finding the right balance between compact-size and functionality. Obviously, the larger a workstation, the more capabilities it will have for organizing your hobby paints, tools, and supplies. A portable paint station must have compromises that allow you to move your hobby workspace around (or even store it away).

RELATED: BEST 15 HOBBY PAINT STORAGE AND DISPLAY RACKS

Things like folding paint organizer cases or boxes, or drawers with magnetic clasps help make a hobby workstation more convenient for the traveler, or simply someone who wants to move their workspace around the home, e.g., kitchen to bedroom.

Fortunately, you don’t need to make a hard choice, because several workstations have modularity to them and can expand or minimize as needed. Others act as hybrid workstations that you can carry like a dinner tray around your space. Take a look below!

7 Must-know features of the ideal hobby workstation for miniature painting

• Available workspace

Lighting setup

Portability, versatility, paint compatibility, available workspace.

The type and kind of hobby paint station you get must fit in the space you have available. If you’re in a college dorm room, a hobby workstation that sweeps a cavernous terrace of paint shelving around you in an obscene hobby nirvana may not work. You need to go compact. Below you’ll find information regarding recommendations for different paint stations that will fit your ideal hobby work area.

All hobby spaces need excellent lighting for an enjoyable time. Make sure you use the best lamps or lights you can that will fit your budget, space, and electrical connectivity. You’ll want to make sure you save space for a nice desktop hobby lamp or light that clamps to the edge of your table.

READ MORE: BEST LAMPS AND LIGHTS FOR YOUR HOBBY WORKSPACE

Some portable hobby paint stations have built-in lights, like this one or this paint workstation case . But, I find these lighting systems to be subpar, either too dim or narrow for most miniature hobby and painting work. I suggest getting a dedicated, high quality lamp for your workspace. There are great portable lights made for miniature painting and modeling arts, too.

Do you travel with your hobby or need to store your paint station, frequently? Need mobility? Consider a portable hobby paint station. These workstations are often lighter weight, fold, and have convenient carry handles or straps. Of course, these travel or storage-ready paint workstations are smaller and have much less capacity to hold your stuff, but they work well as intended.

Some hobby workstations can serve more than one purpose. Sure, most would use these for painting miniatures, but you can use your space for other useful things, too. You can store paints that you rarely use in your folding paint station. They are also much more durable than a random cardboard storage box, e.g. shoebox.

Or, another example, fixing a household appliance or touching up a broken, chipped doodad that your cat tripped/chewed/clawed/mangled. Maybe you have other hobbies that could use your attention and you want to keep this activity contained. A hobby workstation gives you that versatility. Your hobby workstation is your “place” to work on small things that may get lost on any other desk.

The best paint station for your needs will depend on the type and brand of paints in your collection. Whether you’re using Vallejo or Citadel style bottles or pots, you’ll want to make sure they fit in your hobby workstation. Maybe you have aerosol spray rattle cans, e.g., Model Master (Testors), Tamiya, or Army Painter sprays, that you want to keep in the same place. Make sure your workstation can hold these larger cans or bottles, too. You can download a handy bottle and can sizing reference chart of major paint and hobby brands here .

This is relevant for workstation cases or boxes that you can fold-up and close with a locking clasp. If you’re traveling with your hobby workstation, you’ll want your tools to be safe. That means there are well-designed drawers, containers, or holders inside the portable paint station that won’t jostle your stuff around.

You’ll also want to consider the possibility of using a combination lock or lock and key system to protect your workstation while you’re not watching it in a public space. For those traveling by car, the durability of the workstation is also important.

Will your portable hobby station handle the higher temperatures of being left in a car on a sunny day? Do you live in a humid environment where a paint station made of wood can warp? Metal travel organizers are the best kind of portable hobby units for travelers who use a variety of transportation modes, e.g., cars, planes.

Get what you can afford, but don’t skimp on your hobby workstation. Pay for the quality you need. You’ll be using it a lot more than you think! The best value modeling workstations are affordable and highly functional. You can see our top recommendations for hobby and miniature painting workstations below.

How do I know if my paints and supplies will fit the hobby station?

The size of your paint bottles, pots, or cans will determine the best size and type of workstation for your needs. Strike the right balance between portability, internal capacity, and utility of your hobby carrying case, storage box, or workstation organizer. Here is a simple reference chart for determining the size off your paint bottles and pots.

Summary table of the best portable hobby workstations

The ideal hobby and painting workstation mainly depends on your available workspace, your specific project needs and favored model paint brand.

For affordable options, you may want to take a closer look at non-branded painting workstations, e.g., constructed by artisans and other hobbyists. Whereas with established gaming brand paint stations, you may have more post-purchase support and compatibility with your favorite hobby tools and paints.

I’m sure I missed a few favorites. Some are quite wild and outlandish. Check back for updates as I discover other interesting and useful products for painting miniatures and scale modeling hobbies. Thanks for reading!

Happy painting and hobbying!

Where To Buy Model Airplane Kits

• Plan Your Trip

Introduction

Welcome to the world of model airplane kits! Whether you are a beginner or an experienced hobbyist, building and collecting model airplanes is a fascinating and rewarding pastime. From classic warplanes to modern commercial jets, there is a wide range of model kits available to suit every interest and skill level.

But where can you find these model airplane kits? In this article, we will explore various options for purchasing model airplane kits, both online and offline, to help you find the best sources for your needs.

Before diving into the different places to buy model airplane kits, it’s important to consider a few factors. Firstly, determine the type of aircraft you want to build. Are you interested in military planes, civilian aircraft, or something more specialized like helicopters or spacecraft? This will help you narrow down your search and find retailers that specialize in your preferred type of models. Additionally, consider your skill level and budget. Some kits are more suitable for beginners, while others require advanced modeling techniques and may come at a higher price.

Now, let’s explore the various options for purchasing model airplane kits, ranging from local hobby stores to online retailers:

Local Hobby Stores

One of the most traditional and reliable sources for purchasing model airplane kits is your local hobby store. These brick-and-mortar establishments cater to enthusiasts in your community and offer a hands-on shopping experience. Here are some reasons why you should consider visiting local hobby stores:

• Diverse Selection: Local hobby stores often have a wide range of model airplane kits available, catering to various interests and skill levels. From beginner-friendly kits to intricate and detailed models, you can find options to suit your preferences.
• Expert Advice: Hobby store staff are usually experienced and knowledgeable about different models and can provide valuable guidance and recommendations based on your interests and skill level. They can answer your questions, offer building tips, and help you choose the right kit for your needs.
• Immediate Gratification: When you buy from a local store, you can bring your model airplane kit home right away, without waiting for shipping or worrying about potential delays. This is especially beneficial if you’re eager to start your new project or need a last-minute gift.
• Supporting Local Businesses: By purchasing from local hobby stores, you contribute to the growth and sustainability of your community. It helps in supporting passionate entrepreneurs who maintain these stores and provide valuable resources for hobbyists.

When searching for local hobby stores, consider using online directories or asking fellow model airplane enthusiasts for recommendations. Visit the stores in person to see their selection, assess the quality of their kits, and interact with the staff. This way, you can make an informed decision and enjoy a personalized shopping experience.

Keep in mind that the availability and variety of model airplane kits may vary depending on the size and location of the hobby store. If you don’t find what you’re looking for at one store, don’t hesitate to explore other hobby stores in your area.

While local hobby stores are a great option, they might not always have the specific model kits you desire. In such cases, you can turn to online retailers, which provide a vast selection and convenient shopping experiences. Let’s delve into the world of online model airplane kit shopping in the next section.

Online Retailers

In today’s digital age, online retailers have become increasingly popular for purchasing model airplane kits. The convenience, variety, and competitive pricing make online shopping an attractive option for hobbyists. Here are some advantages of buying model airplane kits from online retailers:

• Wide Selection: Online retailers typically offer a vast selection of model airplane kits from different manufacturers and for various skill levels. You can easily browse through categories and filter results to find the specific type of aircraft or brand you’re looking for.
• Convenience: With online shopping, you can purchase model airplane kits from the comfort of your own home. No more driving from store to store or dealing with limited operating hours. You have the freedom to shop at any time that suits you.
• Reviews and Ratings: One of the benefits of online shopping is the ability to read reviews and ratings from other customers who have purchased the same model airplane kit. This feedback can help you assess the quality, accuracy, and difficulty level of the kit before making a purchase.
• Price Comparisons: Online retailers often offer competitive prices for model airplane kits. You can easily compare prices from different websites to find the best deal. Additionally, many online retailers offer discounts, promotions, and bundle deals that can save you money.
• International Availability: Through online retailers, you have access to model airplane kits from around the world. This allows you to explore unique and specialized kits that may not be readily available in your local area.

When purchasing from online retailers, it’s important to do thorough research to ensure the credibility and reliability of the seller. Look for reputable websites with secure payment options and positive customer reviews. Read the product descriptions and check if the website provides detailed information about the kit, including its specifications, dimensions, and included parts.

While online shopping offers numerous benefits, keep in mind that you won’t have the opportunity to physically examine the model before buying. However, most reputable online retailers provide images and detailed descriptions to help you make an informed decision.

Now that we have explored the option of purchasing model airplane kits from online retailers, let’s move on to specialty model shops, which cater specifically to hobbyists and collectors.

Specialty Model Shops

Specialty model shops are dedicated stores that focus exclusively on model airplanes and related accessories. These shops are treasure troves for hobbyists as they offer a unique and specialized experience. Here are some reasons why you should consider exploring specialty model shops:

• Extensive Selection: Specialty model shops carry a wide range of model airplane kits, including rare and hard-to-find models. These shops often have a curated collection of kits, focusing on specific themes or eras, making it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for.
• Expert Knowledge: The staff at specialty model shops are passionate enthusiasts themselves, with in-depth knowledge about model airplanes. They can provide expert advice, recommend suitable kits based on your preferences, and answer any questions you may have about building or customization.
• Accessories and Upgrades: Along with model kits, specialty model shops also offer a variety of accessories and upgrades to enhance the building and detailing process. From paints and brushes to decals and photo-etched parts, you can find everything you need to add intricate details to your model airplane.
• Community and Events: Specialty model shops often serve as meeting places for like-minded individuals. They may host workshops, build nights, or even model airplane competitions, allowing you to connect with fellow hobbyists, share your passion, and learn from experienced modelers.

Finding specialty model shops can be done through online directories or by networking with other model airplane enthusiasts in your area. These shops may not be as widespread as local hobby stores, but they offer a unique shopping experience that caters specifically to model airplane builders and collectors.

When visiting a specialty model shop, take the time to browse through their collection, ask for recommendations, and soak up the atmosphere of a store dedicated to your hobby. You may discover new kits or accessories that you hadn’t previously considered, expanding your collection and knowledge in the process.

Now that we’ve explored specialty model shops, let’s move on to another option for purchasing model airplane kits: auction websites.

Auction Websites

Auction websites offer a unique and exciting way to purchase model airplane kits. These platforms, such as eBay or specialized model kit auction sites, allow individuals to buy and sell model kits through bidding processes. Here are some advantages of using auction websites to find model airplane kits:

• Rare and Discontinued Kits: One of the biggest benefits of auction websites is the opportunity to find rare and discontinued model airplane kits that may not be available through conventional retail channels. Collectors often list their rare kits for auction, giving you a chance to acquire unique models for your collection.
• Potential Bargains: Auctions can sometimes result in great deals and lower prices compared to retail prices. Depending on the bidding activity and competition, you might be able to secure a model airplane kit at a more affordable price than you would find in other stores.
• Opportunity for Selling: If you have model airplane kits that you no longer need or want to upgrade your collection, auction websites allow you to sell your kits to interested buyers. This provides a convenient platform for both buying and selling model kits.
• Wide Range of Selection: Auction websites attract sellers from around the world, giving you access to an extensive selection of model airplane kits. You can find kits from different manufacturers, eras, and skill levels all in one place.

When using auction websites, it’s crucial to research the sellers and review their feedback ratings. Take the time to read the item descriptions thoroughly, paying attention to details such as kit condition, completeness, and any additional information provided by the seller. Be aware of shipping costs, return policies, and payment methods to ensure a smooth transaction.

It’s also worth considering setting a budget and determining your maximum bid before participating in auctions. This will help you avoid overspending and stay within your financial limits.

Auction websites can be a thrilling way to add rare or unique model airplane kits to your collection. However, if you prefer a more direct and interactive shopping experience, connecting with other model airplane enthusiasts through social media groups and forums might be the perfect option for you, which we will discuss next.

Social Media Groups and Forums

In the age of social media, connecting with fellow model airplane enthusiasts has never been easier. Social media groups and forums provide a platform for hobbyists to share their experiences, knowledge, and even buy or sell model airplane kits. Here are some reasons why you should consider exploring social media groups and forums:

• Community Engagement: Joining social media groups and forums allows you to connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for model airplane kits. You can ask questions, seek advice, and engage in conversations with people who have similar interests.
• Buying and Selling Opportunities: Many social media groups and forums have dedicated sections or threads where members can buy, sell, or trade model airplane kits. This creates a marketplace within the community, giving you the chance to find unique or discounted kits from fellow enthusiasts.
• Expert Advice and Tips: By participating in social media groups and forums, you can tap into the collective knowledge and experience of the community. Seasoned builders are often eager to share their expertise, provide guidance on kit selection, building techniques, and troubleshooting common issues.
• Build Logs and Inspiration: Social media platforms allow hobbyists to document their build progress through photo albums or posts. These “build logs” can be a valuable source of inspiration and guidance for your own projects. You can learn new techniques, discover interesting kit modifications, and gain insights into different aircraft models.

To find social media groups and forums dedicated to model airplanes, start by searching on platforms like Facebook, Reddit, or dedicated modeling websites. Look for active groups with a significant number of members and engagement. Joining multiple groups related to different types of aircraft or modeling techniques can broaden your network and knowledge.

When participating in social media groups and forums, remember to be respectful, follow group rules, and contribute positively to the community. Take advantage of the opportunities for networking, learning, and buying/selling model airplane kits to enhance your hobby experience.

Now that we have explored various options for purchasing model airplane kits, let’s conclude our discussion.

When it comes to buying model airplane kits, there are numerous options to choose from. Whether you prefer the hands-on experience of local hobby stores, the convenience of online retailers, the specialized offerings of specialty model shops, the thrill of auction websites, or the community engagement of social media groups and forums, each option offers its own advantages.

Local hobby stores provide a diverse selection and expertise from knowledgeable staff. Online retailers offer a wide range of choices, competitive prices, and the convenience of shopping from home. Specialty model shops cater specifically to model airplane enthusiasts, providing unique selections and a knowledgeable community. Auction websites offer the excitement of finding rare and discontinued kits, along with potential bargains. Social media groups and forums foster connections with fellow hobbyists, with opportunities to buy, sell, and exchange advice and inspiration.

Ultimately, the best place to buy model airplane kits depends on your personal preferences, the specific model you’re looking for, and your budget. You may find that a combination of these options works best for you, allowing you to explore different sources and make the most of what each has to offer.

Remember to consider factors like the type of aircraft you’re interested in, your skill level, and your desired level of community engagement when making your purchasing decisions.

Happy model airplane kit shopping, and may your future builds soar to new heights of creativity and enjoyment!
