It looks good! The lamp in the background looks like a space station

Question, if I may?

Did you invent the Rebans or are they an official part of the Perry Rhodan universe?

The reason I ask is that I tried looking them up and found nothing except your threads here. However Internet coverage of Perry Rhodan is, to say the least, patchy, so I wasn't sure if I was just missing it.

The Rebans are a piece of fan fiction I created within the Perry Rhodan universe. Since they're my own invention, you won't find much about them online—just a few forum posts where I'm active.

If you're curious to learn more, I've shared some details on my website: https://www.scratchbaer.de/scifi-models/rebans/

As Perry Rhodan is a German sci-fi series, most of the available material is in German. The U.S. edition was discontinued quite some time ago.

The idea for the Rebans actually came from a model-building project. I once built a cutaway model of the Kaulquappe KC-11, one of the spaceships from the series: Kaulquappe KC-11

I wanted to share the STL files of that model for free, but unfortunately the publisher didn't grant permission—maybe they didn't quite understand what I was asking, or perhaps I shouldn't have asked at all.
So instead, I came up with my own characters and spacecraft—the Rebans. They're set in the Perry Rhodan universe in spirit, but without using any of the official ships or content. Their designs are based on a little engineer I often use in my pictures 😊

I've even come up with a backstory for how the Rebans were "discovered" by humans. Though I'm not sure my writing skills are quite up to turning it into a full story—at least not yet!

They're a GENIUS idea, and you should be proud of them.  :thumbsup:

Most of us here just invent various aircraft, tanks, ships & cars etc that never actually existed, you go and invent an entire RACE!  :o

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

Excellent! I suspected as much but wasn't sure if I was missing something. Well done!  :thumbsup:
