    Got my datasheets collected in one place:

    I've had my poster-sized datasheet of my kitbashes online for ages: http://www.inpayne.com/portfolio/datasheets.html But lately I've been redoing and expanding some of them as 11x17 plan packs a la Jackill et al. So here they are in one collection...

    ST: Section... 8

    Had a couple of old pix of myself and my friend Frank being goofy. I was finally bored enough to put them to use, graphically. So here's my proposal for the next live-action series: http://www.inpayne.com/temp/startrek-section8.jpg I'm wearing a store-bought uniform. Frank is wearing a...

    Finally got around to kitbashing again!

    However, it's a rebuild of an old one. I never like the way my USS Triumph came out, and I've been staring at it for years wanting to fix. So she finally went into the yards for a major upgrade. Here's the way I built her 20-odd years ago (what?! 20!?) ...

    Gowron!

    That ol' 1995 Geometric vinyl model kit of Gowron has been staring at me from my stash with those big starey blue eyes for 30 years, so I had to finally build him to shut him up: Lotsa pix at the link: http://www.inpayne.com/models/figures/gowron.html I made decals for his eyes, 'cause no way...

    Butter Trek!

    Okay, I swear this is not faked, this is totally real, accidental Trek art. I opened a new tub of butter and saw this: http://www.inpayne.com/temp/buttertrek1.jpg http://www.inpayne.com/temp/buttertrek2.jpg I swear! :lol: I almost knifed it off (you can see the dig mark) before i realized...

    Jefferies' first shuttle concept model kit

    This is a resin kit by Cozmic Models. The kit itself is fairly typical of resin kits. I think it's 3D printed, but the hull quality is perfectly smooth. It included clear windows, but they are so thick they distort the interior, and they don't really fit well. The best part of the kit is a full...

    Some new datasheets of my old kitbashes.

    I've been drawing datasheets of my kitbashes since forever in various forms, from posters to a tech manual. So lately I've been fiddling with the kind of 11x17 packs that Jackill, Tom Sasser, Strategic Design, Starship Dynamics, et al, have done. Here's my USS Soryu thru-deck cruiser to start with:

    Sub-Commander Taris model kit

    This is a 28-year-old vinyl model kit put out by Geometric Models. It's 1/6 scale, so about a foot tall. It's a pretty good likeness of Carolyn Seymour. I googled up some frame grabs of her appearance in "Contagion," and was horrified to see the complex patterns of grey quilting on her uniform...

    USS Venture down :(

    Well, crap. She's one of my oldest kitbashes, maybe 30 years old. I was putting the models back after dusting the top shelf off. I knocked the Belisarius into the Venture. The Venture fell, took an engine off the Edmund Fitzgerald three shelves below, smashed nose-first into my keyboard and...

    1/350 K'Tinga finished.

    Finished up Polar Lights' 1/350 scale K'Tinga Class Klingon Battlecruiser, with PL lighting kit. Straight out of the box, nothing special done. I had a few problems - Painting the black bands on the nose bulb clogged up some of those tiny windows. I messed up the emblem on the belly and had to...

    Dusting the Trek models off

    Time for my annual (or tri-annual, or... whenever) dusting of the Trek models. I laid them out on my drawing board for group pics while I was at it: The 1/537 kitbashes and conversions: (Couer de Lion is upside-down for engine repairs) The 1/1000 original kitbashes: The 1/1400 original...

    My 2020 Trek calendar, if anybody wants a copy.

    The image is my 1/350 Enterprise rolling in to my space station kitbashed from the Moebius LiS Derelict and some flying saucer models, with a buncha kitbashes flying around. Thumbnail: 11x17, 300 dpi download: http://www.inpayne.com/temp/calendar-jp2020.jpg

    AMT Spock model kit reissue.

    http://www.inpayne.com/models/figures/amtspock.html Okay, so I didn't feel like struggling with snake scales on seams.

    Holodeck as dramatic writing aid.

    We've mused on the value of the holodeck as a training aid, and as entertainment, but as I sit here trying to plot a creative writing project, this thought crossed my mind: An author devises a plot, comes up with the primary characters and setting, and feeds them into the holodeck. Then he...

    New Starfleet Museum book!

    Our friend Masao has come out with a very thick, very colorful, very amazing book version of his online Starfleet Museum, rife with schematics, deck plans, histories and action photos. [Link removed — Edited by @Michael] (I am in no way affiliated with this product, I just love it).
