inspired from rereading Watchmen ( thanks Aaron for the lend happy ) and wanting to make an owl ship and figs, and it occured to me that it would be a lot easier to draw it out than to sculpt/mill new elements and make custom prints wink

I'm not sure if this has been posted here but even if it has then it deserves a topical relevance bump. Chris Doyle's Owl Ship is mad wicked awesome and the fact that it's not in this thread yet is just an embarrasment

Wow, so many custom Watchmen. I'll have to check if any of them are for sale. Some custom ones are better than others, so I'll have to cherry pick the ones that I want from each lot.
