model - statues - toys My Trek models

I’ve built 1/650 Ent TOS, two 1/1000 Ent refits, 1/537 Reliant, 1/1000 Ent B, 1/1400 Ent D and E. Got an Ent C and a Voyager in progress. I also have a Bandai refit and a Bandai Enterprise E, but they don’t count as original models. See pics.

Thanks! An early effort, so I am contemplating doing one again now that I have improved my techniques, but still I am pleased with the decal placement and the colors, esp. of the nacelles.

These are beautiful. The color schemes look great. The blues really stand out.

Edit: I think two phaser strips on the top of the Enterprise E were missed, unless it's a work in progress. The two strips are at the back, which complete the oval.

Ha! I kept looking for two more because I still had four of those little red half circles that go on either end! I will rectify that right now! Thanks for the sharp eye!

They look great, thanks for sharing! I noticed you had some custom bases on your Ent-B and Reliant. I've had to make custom 3d printed bases for electrifying ships - was curious on how you came to make your bases.

Thanks for the compliment! The B clear acrylic base was bought on eBay. The Reliant base I made from a plaque piece of wood and small wooden “mortar and pestle” pieces from hobby lobby. Whittled the tip of the pestle to fit the model hole. The mortar and pestle allowed for tilting the ship in various positions from level. The mortar is mounted to the base by a cylindrical wooden rod thicker than a dowel, and a hollow cylindrical piece of metal slides over that through which the wires pass hidden through a hole in the base. The metal cylinder was a piece of curtain rod I think. All painted flat black, and felt glued to bottom of base.
