@Rhaven Blaack @micahrogers @zathros Thanks guys - I aim to please :) @bgt01 lol - I've a way to go before I'm in Scotty's league ;) @spaceagent-9 I printed off Glen Jupp's bop, but since you've been good enough to provide yet another design :D I'll resize, print and use it - the colour...

Another suggestion from spaceagent-9 has got me started on "The Enterprise Incident". For Kirk's Enterprise I'm using a design by Glen Jupp which I've modified just a wee bit. I'll be using the design which spaceagent-9 has very kindly worked on and provided for the Romulan D7s. I'm working...

@Rhaven Blaack Many thanks Rhaven :). The next project will be the scene from "The Enterprise Incident" where the Enterprise is surrounded by Romulans. @spaceagent-9 You know I'm just pulling your leg ;) - if it was work I wouldn't do it! lol. A huge thank-you for the reworked D7 :D. I'm going...

@D-WHALE Well, as they say "Resistance is futile" ;). Glad you like it :) @spaceagent-9 I think Marco would say that I bring chaos to order by ransacking his brilliant designs :D. You like making work for me Jim! lol "The Enterprise Incident" it is, and I already have the design for Romulan...

I didn't do anything at all yesterday as my wee dog had to be put down and I was devastated. @spaceagent-9 @Cforrest900 @micahrogers Many, many thanks guys :). It's been a long job (~5 weeks), but I reckon that's it about done. I've added the finishing touches - photon torpedoes and a...

I've uploaded a short, grainy video to my blog. It's almost there guys :). I think a proper version can be seen here https://www.flickr.com/photos/linweseregon/ I know it should be Locutus speaking and I'll remedy that when I shoot a better video. At least it shows the flickering tealights...

@spaceagent-9 Glad I could 'brighten' up your day ;):) @Revell-Fan lol - I stay up late at night to practice ;). I was kinda sorry to shred this one as I don't think anybody else has made one (?), but the Borg are relentless so it had to be done :eek: Sorry to say that I made absolutely no...

@spaceagent-9 lol - it took me a wee while (ran out of tealights!), but it's the most charred of them all. I was working on mounts and lights yesterday. The pics don't really convey all that much, but here they are anyway:- I've bored a hole through Wolf 359 and planted a bulb in it which...

@Rhaven Blaack It's not too bad - maybe just a wee bit wobbly around the saucer rim :) Well, here goes with my biggest challenge. This is the Springfield class USS Chekov, named in honour of Pavel - even if a last minute USS Tolstoy was added ;). As usual I'm starting with the saucer of the now...

@spaceagent-9 I've been toying with the idea of torpedoes - the beads would have to be really, really small! Maybe a nick in the filament would produce a sparkle? I'd like to have torpedoes for the undamaged Klingon ship too, so I'll have a scout around 'a famous online auction site' (;)) and...

@Cforrest900 Too right - it's a whopper! lol @D-WHALE You're right there Marco! I tried this one for a bit of variety, but the unfold is very problematic and there are definitely easier ways to put a starship together. Your design is much better - unfortunately too many parts would be lost if I...

Absolutely superb! :)

Leaving the USS Chekov for the mo', I've started on the last of my undamaged ships - the Nebula class USS Bellerophon. This thing is a monster! I'm using a design for the USS Sutherland which is tagged modelosdepapel.com.ar and is by "Edward" - I can't recall where I found it. I started with the...

@spaceagent-9 Sorry Jim - I forgot to respond to the bop offer! I think I already downloaded it from your hosting site. I'll do a wee bit more research and see if there's any general consensus about the Klingons at Wolf 359. The only one I was sure of was a K'Tinga seen in a screen capture so...

Thanks all, again :). "Qapla' -victory is ou... Oh sh........" This Klingon is dead;it is defunct; it has shuffled off this mortal coil; it has ceased to be - he's f'ing snuffed it! I had to have a wee homage to the Monty Python team here ;). The black welding rod shouldn't show against the...

@zathros Many thanks for all the info :). I'll refer back to it and digest it all a bit at a time. It's 30 years since I've done any electronics so I'm a wee bit rusty ;). @spaceagent-9 Thanks again Jim :). As far as I know I'm the first to publish any card model photos of the Buran on the web...

The pieces I used yesterday for the engineering deck didn't work - it ended up looking like a grey banana and it was too big. I reprinted the pieces and trimmed curves into the joining edges. I also found a design by rocketman on Deviant Art for the Red October, which is a Typhoon class Russian...

@spaceagent-9 It is the one I was thinking of! I'm going to stick with the list I have just now, and mibbe if there's enough space I'll add some flotsam and jetsam like a Connie hull eg. I've saved your design though, and I'll have a go at a 2" version at some point :). Today was 'bite the...

@spaceagent-9 Thanks again Jim :) - I found a few other others showing the intact structure, but your angled ones will be ideal for showing how the bits go together. You've piqued my curiosity with the triangular looking beastie - what's that about? Is it that monstrosity in "The Search For...

@spaceagent-9 Cheers Jim :). Fortunately I found an electronics company from Lothian (near Edinburgh) which supplies the resistors with their value already calculated for their bulbs in conjunction with a 12V supply - phew! I'm going to attempt the USS Buran next. The Challenger class will be a...
