I'm attempting to push myself to get back into working on my 3d modelling skills so I can finish some of the more ambitious ships and props. One I would really like to get on the printer one day is this Discoprise Concept based on some of John Eaves' artwork. #startrek #starship #ussenterprise

Boldly propping and modeling where few to many have gone before... Interested in prop or model work? Message me for more information! Keep on Trekkin!
Some quick photo booth pics of the recently completed Star Trek Generations Communicator. I had to CAD up the interior to fit the cast resin kit shells as the kit maker doesn't do this particular version any longer. But, after a long time, it has finally come together. #startrek

Speaking of decal weekend, my wacky idea inspired by some random art I found online, which was supposed to be a quick weekend build many weekends ago is finally really coming together. #airfix #48scale #p40warhawk #scalemodeling #p40b
Decal weekend continued with the 1/144 P-8A Poseidon. The subject matter I'm kinda eh on, it's fine, not my favorite, but the building, painting, and decal experience was absolutely fantastic.
And a continuation of my previous post, the B-52D and associates, an RB-47H and a KC-135A. I definitely need a bigger photo booth. #b52d #academymodels #minicraftmodels #kc135 #b47
Wrapping up the 1/144 @academytoys.official B-52D! Fun kit, nothing too out of the ordinary. Fantastic decals, plenty of options, overall a very recommended kit!
A little harrowing, but managed to get the tiny hex screws and the panel installed with no issues! I think we can call this Star Trek The Motion Picture Phaser complete! #startrek #startrekprop #startrekphaser #starfleet #startrekthemotionpicture
And final post for the evening, refined the LED brightnesses on the Star Trek The Motion Picture Phaser and ended up using UV resin for the windows instead of the printed parts.
2 or 3 years later, finally getting some decals on this Roden Models 1/144 Lockheed Jetstar in TWA livery. #rodenmodels #twa #lockheedjetstar #scalemodeling #airlinermodels
Finally getting the landing gear installed on the @academytoys.official 1/144 B-52D. #academymodels #b52 #144scale #b52d #scalemodeling
This $6 Minicraft 1/144 TWA 707-331 is coming along nicely, especially for unbagged decals from the year 2000. Still working on the engines.
Got the decals on the @officialairfix Vintage Classics 1/72 Hawker P.1125 prototype. I have an idea for a little in-hover stand for it. #airfix #hawkerp1127 #72scale #aircraftmodel #scalemodeling
Having a clear coating frenzy to try to push out a bunch of malingering crap that just needs to be finished and out of the WIP so I don't have to work on them any more. Hoping to have a decal feast tonight and tomorrow. #scalemodel #aircraftmodel #p8aposeidon #boeing707 #hawkerp1127
After inspiration from some piece of art I randomly found while searching for something else, this "what-if" scheme on this @officialairfix 1/48 P-40B is almost finished. #airfix #p40warhawk #48scale #scalemodel #aircraftmodel
Finally making some progress on the SNW Comm. Need to sand the inside of the back shell slightly for the lid sweep, polish the midplates, and make a sticker cover for the magnet and it should be finished, ready for its owner for communication! #startrek #startrekprop #strangenewworlds #startreksnw
Someone finally opened up a window and God's Fart was finally dispersed outside. Happy Birthday Lindsay! May you be pegged in the eternal afterlife by all cylindrical objects like you did to this country for so many years.
When my current multiple aircraft projects are finished, I made a promise to do this @officialairfix 1/48 Bristol Bulldog Mk.II to someone who I am most fortunate that they tolerate my planes, props, and ships, so I'd best keep that promise #airfix #bristolbulldog #48scale #scalemodel #aircraftmodel
Nearly finished with this TMP Phaser. I need to adjust some of the brightnesses and add the covers to the LEDs. #startrek #startrekprop #startrekphaser #starfleet #startrekthemotionpicture
Wrapping up a Star Trek Generations Communicator! I'll get some photo booth pics and a video later this week, but wanted to give the camera another test. #startrek #startrekprop #starfleet #startrekgenerations #propreplica
And one more that almost crossed the finish line, the @atlantiskits Convair 990 Coronado, finished in the "house colors" livery. A really fantastic kit, especially for being originally tooled in 1961. #atlantismodels #convair990 #convair #airlinermodels #scalemodeling
Unfortunately I did not reach all my target goals with stuff this week, all of the electronics I had been working with fought me in one way or another on various props. I did make progress, but there came a point where I had to set them aside and work on other items.
A fun kinda quick pallet cleanser has been this Academy 1/144 B-52D. I always love the test/trainer schemes so this one included with the kit was an easy pick. A couple of areas to touch up and I have to finish getting the masking out of the gear wells, but it's almost ready for decals!
Hopefully the sign of some continued successes and completions this week, finished a Disco Admiral Senna Tal badge in shiny metallic form, as opposed to my previous one in the traditional combadge gold and silver paint. #startrek #startrekprop #startrekdiscovery #starfleet #combadge
Busy weekend, but I managed to wrap up one of those "weekend projects" I started 7 or 8 weekends ago. This is the excellent 1/72 @officialairfix Hunting Percival Jet Provost T.4 kit in Royal Air Force College 1962 paint scheme. The kit is fantastic, nothing to note other than it was a good time.
Hey I finally finished my "TWA Saber Jet". This is based on a Canadair Mk 5 Saber that was owned by TWA's Senior Vice President of Operations in the late 70's and early 80's. I didn't know this existed until I saw Draw Decals released this as a set and purchased it immediately.
I made some decent project progress this weekend. Almost completed several things, but they require time for finesse which I ran out of. Hopefully this week I'll have a few things to show off! #startrek #scalemodeling #scalemodel #startrekphaser #Tricorder
