This is my “scratch built, Kelvin verse” USS ENTERPRISE 1701-A from Star Trek Beyond and the new long awaited Star Trek 4 movie that is due in 2023.

This fantastic display model measures nearly 24” in length and features:

·         Fully lit with hundreds of LED’s

·         Spinning nacelle buzzards

·         Double flash anti-collision and formation lights

·         Full 5 colour Aztec panel paint scheme

·         High attention to detail

·         Easily detaches from the stand for transportation

·         Comes with UK plug 12v power adaptor that plugs into the base

·         3 separate toggle switches for, Main lighting, spinning buzzards, and flashing lights

This model is a one off build and cannot be bought anywhere in the world “that I know as of 2022”, This is not 3D printed and I have built this from studying many pictures of this ship from different sources such as my Blu-ray movie and online pictures.

I got the contours by firstly making many tests using cardboard before cutting them from styrene, this build has taken me a long time to build from start to finish but the end result was well worth it.

The Final frontier? my last build! Polar lights 1/350 USS ENTERPRISE NCC-1701 refit

Here is my last commission build that i have done for a client, this was a challenge with many ups and downs along the way and took the best part of 6 months to complete!
This is the Polar Lights 1/350 scale kit with additional aftermarket parts to make it more screen accurate! as requested by my very patient client.
I have used a Tena controls board for the flashing nav and marker lights, plus this board also controls the power up mode from Orange impulse to Blue warp speed mode and the nacelles lighting Purple, other parts used are Paragrhix photo etch set-HDA modelworx impulse engine and warp nacelle mag grills and HDA decals for the "strongback" and last but not least is the new masking kit by "MaskDesign" to achieve the intricate multi colour shimmering Aztec's using PearlEx pigment powders, this effect is just about right because they are not over done and do not make it look too busy.
