Some modelmakers bring one or two builds to the annual Wonderfest modelmaking showcase, but Russ Laarman brought over a dozen unique ships to this year's show--all scratch built in the past year! We chat with Russ about his design and build process, the universe he's fleshing out with his spaceships, and how these gorgeous builds show his growth as a modelmaker.
