Who makes this spaceship?
It belongs to Ed the THW Guy, who got it from Black Widow Pilot. I'm curious as to the manufacturer of this mini. Some commenters on my blog suggested it might be a Garrison Miniatures product, but I checked their website and I don't think it is. More on Super Galactic Dreadnought: link |

Keep in mind that BWP converts and scratchbuilds stuff in his sleep… |

Yeah, I saw a couple of awesome-looking scratchbuilds as well. |

Looks a great deal like one of the "Galaktik Taktik" Dominion figs from Pewtercraft. For ex: link |

I think that's it, Chief. There were some others with that same general shape, that he had modified with additional components. They all looked really good. |

Base looks like the old style full thrust |

Chief Lackey Rich pegged it: a Pewtercraft Dominion starship, one of a group that was sent to me for a review article waaaaay back in the Permian Epoch when I wrote the "Hot Lead" column for the WH40KRT fanzine INQUISITOR. The ship is unmodified, as it was a review sample and I presented such as a matter of course unexpurgated for the benefit of our fanzine readers. The base is indeed the old Full Thrust official metal flight stand and turning dial made by Geo-Hex back in the day. Wish to Hell they were still available…
Yeah, but try to get him to finish a TMP Workbench article… grin I'm gonna get you, Bill! Just for that, I'm breaking out that wayward project and seeing what I can do about wrapping it up, as I have finally been persuaded to take a day off from my usual cycle of grad studies daily TMI self-abuse otherwise known colloquially as "homework"…
