No Cockpit goes unnoticed and Daylan Geerlings does not settle for imitation. You won't find a movie replica or kit-build in his shop. But what you'll soon discover is his talent for fabricating his own super realistic sci-fi models. Daylan scratches his imagination! And it is an itch we are proud to spotlight.
"When possible, I like to use real aluminum plate to construct hull and outer body shells," he said. "This allows for ulta-realistic weathering and battle-damage." Each of Daylan's models may take anywhere from 3 to 6 months to complete, and it will be fully detailed even in places one cannot see, such as avionics bays and etc.

 Italian Naval architect Giancarlo Zema's "Trilobis Floating Home" proposes a 4-story semi-submerged live-aboard environment for people who love the sea. Giancarlo's motif in his design allows people to live in a self sufficient, non-polluting living-space that is in unison with their ocean surroundings. The best view of the sea is from its 11ft. topside elevation above the waterline, while its fully submerged first level, is an undersea observation bulb. The propulsion system consists of dual 300 horse-power electric motors powered by hydrogen-fed Ballard fuel cells. Zema also designed a special type of marina that will enable like-minded Trilobis owners to create their own floating villages.

Doing what you dream.
Starship Scratcher spotlights the rare, unusual and best works we can find. I bet that just about every model-builder in the Galaxy can respect this work of art. There must be few models in the world that rival this 1:3 scale working Ferrari 312-PB built by Pierre Scerri of Avignon, France, and it is one of the finer examples of what passion and the human spirit can achieve. Everything works on this baby, from the 12 cylinder engine, to the gearbox, dashboard lights, and much more!
