Hailing Frequencies, Open. Well guys, it's been a while since I posted and I made the statement in the last post that I was going to finish the Space: 1999 Hawk before starting anything new. Well, we know what an empty promise that can be with hobbies. When the mood strikes, don't fight it. And...

So, a while ago I was cruising the Internet looking at Star Trek merchandising from The Motion Picture era when I discovered this book. It’s a paper model of the TMP Enterprise bridge that measures 15” when assembled. I immediately became obsessed with getting one. They became available 2-3 at a...

I was afraid I might catch up on my builds, so I started another one to keep things normal. This is my build of the Galileo shuttlecraft model created by Joerg Stammen in 2004. This is one of the first models I ever downloaded and it has been sitting in my computer for a while. That’s a good...

It’s only been a few years since I ventured into the world of Space: 1999. I was too young to catch it in first run and it wasn’t in syndication where I lived. The only exposure I had to the show was through toy and model ads and the rare sci-fi publication. Thanks to the Internet, I was finally...

I decided to celebrate the season by watching “Batman Returns” (Yes, it’s a Christmas movie!) and taking on AirDave’s cool Batwing. This is a fun little model. I was going to build it stock so I’d get it done before the movie ended, but it looked like a good one to detail, so I stretched the...

The MeTV channel has been replaying episodes of the classic show “CHiPs” for a while and I have been watching and fondly remembering how as a child I thought everyone in California was a raving lunatic behind the wheel. I’ve never been there to confirm or deny that, but I’m pretty sure they...

Check out this guy's 5-foot Falcon he made out of scrap cardboard! http://nerdapproved.com/misc-weirdness/this-five-foot-long-cardboard-millennium-falcon-is-a-thing-of-beauty/#more-131993

This one’s been rattling around in my head for awhile. This is a TOS version of the Oberth class science vessel as seen in Star Trek III. It is built using parts designed by Rawen and PDMcCool and repainted by me. This is the U.S.S. Glenn. Following in the tradition of the U.S.S. Grissom (named...

I promised myself I was going to finish all my in-progress builds before starting a new one…then I broke that promise and started assembling some of Thunderchild’s most excellent 1:200 scale shuttles. My reasoning was a lot of these are small and don’t have a lot of parts, so they should go...

This is another model I wasn’t going to post, but it was an interesting build so I thought I’d throw it out there. This is Paragon’s kit bash of the U.S.S. Nelson. It’s based off Makino’s Enterprise with customized parts. This was printed and cut out a long time ago and as such it didn’t really...

I wasn’t going to post this, but this project has sat so long I figure it deserves its place in my history. This is Marc Robitalle’s Klingon K’tinga model. It’s one of the first models I found when I started this hobby. I printed and cut this out a long time ago, so when I finally decided to...

I'm launching another ship with my build of Rawen's small version of the U.S.S. Enterprise from the 2009 JJ Abrams film. I've done a previous build of this model repainted as the Constellation from the TOS episode "The Doomsday Machine." It was time to take those skills and apply them to...

Hello all. I managed to make another addition to the fleet this weekend. This is my U.S.S. Defiant - Tholian Web version. I wanted it to look like the CGI version from the remastered episode, which I much prefer over the original "blinky" version. My first plan to make the green cast was to add...

Hello all. While waiting for the glue to dry on my recent Reliant build I managed to finish this small ship. This is the U.S.S. Commanche, a Warhorse-class patrol ship. I'll say upfront, I am aware there is an extra "m" in my spelling of Comanche. I was too far along to correct it without...

Saucer Top If you know anything about me from previous posts, it's that I like starships. And, since I love to have more projects going at one time than I can finish, I decided to finally launch the Reliant build that's been on the desk awhile. This is my build of Makino's Reliant. It's...

Hello all. This is my finished model of the U.S.S. Columbia scout ship. I made this using parts from Makino's Enterprise. I repainted the registries in Adobe Illustrator. Columbia, along with U.S.S. Revere, was mentioned near the beginning of Star Trek: TMP. They are described as scout ships...

Hello all. This is my attempt at replicating the dedication plaque from the original U.S.S. Enterprise. This plaque was located at the rear of the bridge next to the turbolift. This project is basically an excuse for me to fool around with my long-unused Dremel tool while having a little fun...

This ship has been a long time coming. I started it over a year ago when I built all the PDMcCool parts as a big parts pile. Since I started it before I began posting build threads, there are no build pics. However, it's a standard Rawen design which you can study in my other posts. She is built...

When a man is going boldly, he wants a comfy chair to do it in. Thanks to Perry's Planet, I got a chance to build just such a chair…only smaller. This is my attempt at building Captain James T. Kirk's command chair from the U.S.S. Enterprise. (Note: All parts are scored before folding.) CHAIR...

Why a man with hands as big and clumsy as mine would want to try and build a tiny starship is a mystery. But, try I did. Yesterday I decided to do a quick build of one of Glenn Jupp's ships. A while ago I repainted these files to add more detail (markings, windows, etc.), a gray base coat and...
