Welcome to Galactic Yards, where passion for Star Citizen meets unmatched craftsmanship. We are a dedicated team of designers, artisans, and fans committed to creating the highest quality Star Citizen spaceship models. Our mission is to bring the epic universe of Star Citizen to life through intricate, beautifully crafted models that capture the imagination and passion of the game's incredible community.

At Galactic Yards, we don't just create collectibles; we forge connections between players and the in-game ships that define their experience in the Star Citizen universe. Each model we produce is more than just a piece of art—it’s a testament to the engineering, creativity, and lore that make Star Citizen a groundbreaking gaming experience.

Who We Are

Founded by a group of passionate Star Citizen enthusiasts, Galactic Yards has grown into a premier model-making company known for its dedication to quality, detail, and authenticity. Our team includes professional 3D modelers, engineers, electronic specialists, painters, and logistics experts—all of whom share a love for the immersive universe created by Cloud Imperium Games.

We understand the love and devotion Star Citizen fans have for their ships, and we aim to channel that same devotion into every aspect of our work. Whether it’s recreating the sleek lines of a stealthy fighter or the imposing bulk of a capital ship, we treat each model as a tribute to the game’s vision.

What We Do

At Galactic Yards, we specialize in crafting ultra-detailed, high-quality models of Star Citizen spaceships. Each ship is meticulously designed to match its in-game counterpart, with painstaking attention to every panel, rivet, and light. Our models are designed not only as display pieces but as immersive experiences that embody the spirit of exploration, combat, and adventure that Star Citizen represents.

Our services include:

3D Model Creation: We start by analyzing the digital in-game assets provided by Star Citizen, converting them into high-resolution 3D models that can be transformed into physical form.
Handcrafted Detailing: Every model is carefully crafted using premium materials such as high-quality resin, metal components, and even LED lights to bring the ships to life.
Customization: Some models offer customization options such as movable parts, lighting features, or personalized plaques for collectors who want something truly unique.
Electronic Integration: Many of our ships come with built-in LED lighting to highlight important features such as engines, cockpits, and weaponry, giving the models an extra layer of immersion.
Limited Editions: We release special limited-edition models that often include exclusive design features or rare ships from the Star Citizen fleet, perfect for the serious collector.
Our Crafting Process
Every model we create at Galactic Yards undergoes a multi-step process that ensures the highest level of detail, precision, and durability. Here’s a glimpse into how we turn the ships of Star Citizen into collectible art:

Design Research: We start by conducting extensive research on each ship. This includes examining game assets, reading lore, and listening to community feedback to ensure that our models accurately represent the spirit and story behind each spacecraft.

3D Modeling & Prototyping: Once the design is locked in, our team creates an initial 3D model using cutting-edge design software. From there, we produce a physical prototype using 3D printing technology. This prototype is the first step in ensuring the ship’s physical form is true to its in-game counterpart.

Material Selection: We choose only the finest materials for our models. Depending on the ship’s design, we may use resin, metal, plastic, or even glass for components like canopies and weaponry. Each material is chosen for its durability and ability to capture fine details.

Painting & Detailing: Once the physical model is created, our team of expert painters applies base coats, highlights, and weathering effects by hand. We aim to replicate the intricate wear and tear that spacefaring ships would naturally endure, from battle damage to engine scorch marks.

Electronic Features: For models equipped with lighting or motorized elements, our electronic specialists integrate LED lights and motors to add interactivity. The result is a model that lights up or moves, enhancing the immersion for collectors.

Quality Control: Before any model leaves our workshop, it undergoes a rigorous inspection process. We check every detail, from the smoothness of the paint to the functionality of any moving parts or electronic components. Only models that pass our stringent quality control are approved for shipping.

Packaging & Distribution: Once a model is ready, we package it carefully in custom-designed boxes with form-fitted foam inserts to protect the model during transit. Our packaging is designed to be just as much a part of the collector’s experience as the model itself, with artwork and lore details included to enhance the unboxing experience. We ship worldwide, ensuring fans everywhere can add a piece of the Star Citizen universe to their collection.

Our Commitment to the Star Citizen Community
At Galactic Yards, we know that our collectors aren’t just customers—they’re part of the Star Citizen community. Many of our team members are players themselves, and we actively engage with the community to ensure we’re delivering products that meet their expectations. We regularly participate in fan events, online forums, and social media, listening to feedback, requests, and ideas from the Star Citizen fanbase.

Our goal is to be more than just a company that makes models—we aim to be a part of the Star Citizen journey. We work closely with Cloud Imperium Games to ensure every model we create is a faithful representation of the game’s vision, and we strive to make every model we release a celebration of the artistry and innovation that makes Star Citizen unique.
