You have some real skill there. I am very envious of people who can model to that level of detail.
 Does that spacecraft model come in a snap-tite version?

Really it just takes time with some mentoring. Plus money, lot's of money. Start small and learn techniques so your mistakes and failures aren't so dear. Many hobby shops have clubs where you can get lot's of advice from old hands. They really do like to help. Props on the other hand are a different animal in many ways from models as they are meant to be used.

Here are the latest cows out of the barn. These took awhile as all I got to work with was the fiberglass base, resin and wood screen frame, and the graphic.
 Here's a better photo with the graphic lit. It runs on 12 VDC from either an AC wall adapter, or two 9 volt batteries regulated to 12 volts.  The chassis. The base is a 6" lazy-susan bearing and the BBs are counterweights to the screen.  The back light is made by LightBeam and theses are available in custom cut sizes and three color temps. Mine are 5000K natural light.   And part od the work needed to make the screen frame nicer.
