This is the full build video for my model of the Taiidan Attack Bomber from the Homeworld series of games. The original piece of art that inspired the build was drawn and animated by Space Gooose, who's drawn all sorts of cool stuff.

This was a long build, between the model of the ship, and the scenery to hold it. I'm especially happy with the magnetic attachment point that holds it all together.
