    Star Trek non-canon: USS Bannockburn NCC-1314 build log.

    I was brought up in a wee town in Ayrshire called Maybole, which is the ancient capitol of Carrick. This was the seat of the 4th Earl of Carrick, King Robert the Bruce. The 700th anniversary of The Bruce's most famous victory, the Battle of Bannockburn, has just passed, and in honour of this I'm...

    Star Trek DS9:- Operation Return Diorama - 'micro' build log

    Now that the preliminaries are out of the way, I can begin properly. "Micro" is in inverted commas because this diorama, although composed of micro ships, is going to be around 3' x 4'. The list of ships I'm building is as follows:- FEDERATION:- Akira x3 Centaur - USS Centaur NCC 42043 Defiant -...

    Preliminaries for DS9 Operation Return diorama

    I'm currently in the research stage for building a diorama based on Operation Return in DS9. The scale will have to be around 1:8000 because of restraints on the amount of space I have. This will make DS9 between 7" and 8" in diameter, the Galaxy class and Jem'Hadar cruisers around 3" in length...

    Star Trek TNG:- "All Good Things" Diorama - micro build log

    For this one I'm going to build a scene where the USS Pasteur is being harangued by two negh'vars and the future USS Enterprise-D swoops in to the rescue. One of the negh'vars will be getting blown to bits :D. The designs I'm using this time are:- USS Enterprise-D by Paragon - I prefer the look...

    Star Trek TNG:- "Yesterday's Enterprise" Diorama - micro build log

    Since I'm extremely limited in the amount of space I have I do quite a bit of recycling of diorama ships. Some dioramas are left intact (eg The Battle of Wolf 359", "The Tholian Web), but others will be reused. I'll be recycling the Enterprise D and the Klingon birds of prey from "The Defector"...

    Star Trek TOS:- "The Trouble With Tribbles" K-7 Diorama - micro build log

    I'm going to skip the blow-by-blow account of the building of the USS Enterprise and the Gr'Oth - build logs for Constitution and D7 class ships are presented in other posts.Once again I'm using Glen Jupp's version of the Enterprise and I'm using Spaceagent-9's design for the Gr'Oth. The design...

    Star Trek IV:- "Delivering Humpbacks" Diorama - micro build log

    The probe is out of the question since at 17km it would be 8.5m long even at my scale! I found Golden Gate Bridge plans on skyscraper.com and I've started on them. I considered cutting round all the girders for all of 2 seconds - I would be drawing my pension before I finished that. The two...

    Star Trek: TOS:- "The Tholian Web" Diorama - micro build log

    Details of the building of the USS Enterprise can be found in "The Enterprise Incident" thread. The only real change here is the swapping of blu tac for 2mm bicone red beads with 0.25mm fibre optic filament threaded through the nacelles:- I've used Glen Jupp's pattern for the USS Defiant with...

    Star Trek: TOS:- "The Enterprise Incident" Diorama - micro build log

    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...

    Star Trek: TNG:- Wolf 359 Diorama - micro build log

    After a suggestion from spaceagent-9 about building a Wolf 359 diorama my imagination was fired. I've started to do some research on Wolf 359 and the consensus seems to be that there are eleven confirmed named ships of the forty strong fleet sent against the Borg cube. I have templates for eight...

    Star Trek: DS9:- Karemma Merchant Ship - micro build log

    This one has been in my "To Do" pile for weeks so it's time to get it built before my furry Doomsday Machine gets to grip with it. I started with a Drex File from Ex Astris Scientia, shrunk it to 50% and pasted a few copies on my sheet so that 2.5 could be fitted across an A4 page. I also...

    Star Trek: Enterprise:- Sidewinder's Vas Hatham - micro build log

    This version is one of D-Whale's repaints; two other versions are available. I converted the original pdf to a bmp and shrank it to around 25% - this way I can print multiple tiny designs one one A4 sheet. I started with the wings since all the pieces were close to each other on the 'sheet':-...

    Star Trek:- Spaceagent-9's Klingon D7 - micro build log (2 methods)

    Spaceagent -9 was kind enough to send his D7 design and (as requested) I'm going to build a standard version using his template and my own variation with layered elements. I printed eight copies of Spaceagent's design on one A4 sheet, so hopefully one will suffice for the standard build and the...

    Normal Size Trek Starships.

    A bit of a departure for me, but here are a few of my ordinary sized ships:- As far as I recall these are all Rawen's - dreadnought, tug and blurred of prey ;-) The USS Grissom from PaperAviation The USS Reliant from SF Papercraft. The Saladin class USS Xerxes by Rawen. And finally, an...

    Star Trek: Enterprise:- Di-Whale's D'Kyr - micro(ish) build log

    First of all - many thanks to D-Whale for this awesome model :-). So... I've taken the patterns and shrunk them so that the smallest pieces are just workable and no more - ~ 1/2mm thick. At this size I've fit four pages across an A4 sheet, which allows me to print all 12 (out of 13) pages plus...

    Star Trek: Voyager:- Dinaal Hospital Ship - micro build log

    I'm not able to build models from scratch - yet! - so I have to cheat like h@*l. I suppose I'll start with my kit: scissors, large; scissors, small; pencil x2; tweezers x2; reading glasses, magnification x2 1/2; metal ruler; modelling knife; glass chopping board. If I don't have a pattern to...

    Star Trek Card & Paper Model Links.

    I spent most of yesterday compiling a list of links to Star Trek ship models - sorry, no props or interiors. They can be found in my blog [http://linweseregon.blogspot.co.uk/] under the "Links" section of the 'blog archive' for January 2014. I know there are still models hidden more deeply in...

    Teeny Toty Trek Ships

    Before I show off my mini-minis I'd like to say a huge thank-you to all you fabulous designer dudes and dudettes - MTK, Christine, Paragon, D-Whale, Ninjatoes, Clever Santoro, to name but a few. I had a go myself, but it seems I can't think in 3D at the mo'; maybe in a few more months... Anyway...
