I’ve been working on a project myself with some tricky angles and I’ve been wasting a lot of time trying to get it all fitting together just right so there’s no nasty gaps or seams. Sometimes it feels like an uphill struggle – like who really cares; but then you see something like this great yellow […]
Whilst we’re flush with spaceships, I don’t think I’ve ever blogged a space station. So I’m really pleased Damien Labrousse not only built an awesome one, he built a Classic Space one too!

Spaceship! Spaceship! Spaceship!
