Nice. Seems like that something you could make a bunch of to use as test-bed for color schemes and new painting/weathering techniques without having to worry about messing up a big project halfway through.
That was definitely another big motivation for doing this. I actually did make what I was calling swatches when I built my Cantwell-class, to try out different shades of grey and weathering techniques to see which I liked best. They weren’t as detailed as these, though.
...first? Rather like just making panels for the sake of it. Out of nout but simple point of interest, the notches in the edges of panels, these came (in the real life world) from mostly German tanks of ww2. If they had the chance, tank crews would often weld additional metal panels to their tanks, because this made them more tanky. Where they did this most was the side skirts, but, those side skirts still had to be untanked from time to time to fix tracks, extract weasels, fashion improvised tables, all that jazz. Thusly, the additional panels would have those little notches, those bueno notches, wherever the underlying panel had a bolt, so you could still spannerise the bolt and remove the entire plate, additional armour 'n' all. It's possible there are people out there who don't know every space flick ship has been made out of ww2 tank kits, hence these notches becoming universal, but I don't want to know them. Also, nibblers only leave the same size hole if you don't nibble several times...
As far as I know. I’m not sure exactly where the start of it, in filmmaking at least, is. The Star Wars films are of course when it became most widely known, but I’m sure it has a longer history than that.
@@Sublight_Drive You certainly have the feel down perfectly, plates, gaps, etc. PS I just added a video to my channel for you. It's a bit of history about the ILM look.

Great video! What spaceship goes on top of the tree?
Gotta be Cylon Basestar right? Fully thematic AND the right shape

Why are you saying it's silly? That's actually pretty cool! I like it a lot. Happy Holidays!
I find these unbelievably satisfying to look at and I have no idea why.
It’s the Bits(tm)
Very cool! Might have to give this a go!
Love the ornaments 😊😊😊
Saw the thumbnail before I saw who uploaded them and thought, "Hey, Sublight would like this!"
Well, turns out...
Lmao. It is a LITTLE different than my usual fare.
Fun project!
This was so cool! So glad I subbed to your channel.
Glad you like it! I try to only make things that are cool, usually.
not what i was expecting but i love it all the same!, keep up the great videos man!!
This was great! I like the idea of the ornaments. Thanks for sharing this. I learn a lot from your channel.
Glad you’ve been learning some cool stuff! That’s the idea, after all.
This a great intro video to paneling, on par with Adam Savage’s tutes. And it’s also a cool way to decorate at tree!!
Def appreciate being compared to one of the greats. Adam Savage’s intro to the topic was how I discovered it, myself!
It's a curious artform. Pioneered by the model makers on 2001 a Space Odyssey in the 60's?
