Dropfleet Commander Space Station Builds - A Gallery

Hawk Wargames' Space Station boxed set may be the best starship gaming product I've ever encountered.  It was made as part of the Dropfleet Commander launch Kickstarter, but it has uses in virtually any space combat gaming rules set and beyond.  Not so much a kit as a very deep toolbox for putting together an infinite number of variant buildups, it's got unmatched modularity and can easily be integrated with leftover parts from their other kits for even more utility.  I'm going to be posting images of painted buildups as I finish them, so this post will be getting updated from time to time.  It's also likely to get rather image-intensive, so my apologies to anyone who has problems with that.
 
As of 10/14/2019, the images here represent builds from most of nine boxes worth of station kits, although there are two more large and complex designs to come and over a dozen stations of various types that I've laboriously duplicated for commission customers over the last few years.  I still have quite a few parts left over, but there's not a single hub or main section remaining right now. 
 
Without further ado and in no particular order, here are the builds I've completed so far:
 
These barely qualify, since they're mostly kitbashes using parts from my bits box, but the guns are from Dropfleet Commander, so I'll stick them over here with their kinfolk.

Refueling Station Diamond-Nine
(this is a bit of a cheat, since this is actually a converted Kerebos Station from Brigade Models, but since some of the added parts are from the DfC station kit I thought I'd sneak it in here)
