This is my progress on rebuilding/upgrading my 2010 study model of the Enterprise. The goal is to bring this model as close as possible to looking like my 2019 studio scale replica (at two-thirds scale). Like my rebuild of my 2009 study model, some aspects of the model's original form are going...

Backstory In 2007 I drafted my first plans of the 33 inch Enterprise model. I knew that they had errors and that the only way to find them was to build a model based on the plans and compare it to the original. Not being much of a model maker, I had hoped that by making the plans available that...

This is a few recent illustrations representing some stuff I've been researching. Most recent being the landing party equipment from The Cage (on 11"x17" sheets)... Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Click to enlarge I also spent a bit more time on the original plans of the Enterprise...

I threw this together to help me keep track of time (so the images are scale for my MacBook Pro's display), but I figured I'd share them with you guys as 2020 fast approaches. Click images to enlarge And because the images actually fit nicely on a legal size sheet (8.5"x14")...

I figured I'd share my scratch built model of the Enterprise. It is mostly unique in that it is (to my knowledge) the only true studio scale model of the TOS Enterprise and the only representation of the original 33 inch model (since the original isn't around any more). The goal was to...

A little late for 2016... this is a quick-n-dirty side project making calendar desktop images from some of my composite art. I was actually making these for myself (as my wife wants me to keep better track of what day it is), but I figured I'd share them. They may not be Ships of the Line...

Just plugging away on my Galileo... Click to Enlarge And some shots before I started on the decals...

Back in the Summer of 2007 I did a clean up of the one-to-one scale (with the studio model) plans and the additional cross-section and bottom view for the Phase II Enterprise (that work can be found here). I had started in on drafting plans to make a more complete view of the Phase II...

Thanks to everyone who entered the last contest, it was fun! :techman: This week's theme is Idiots! Because I have such a poor track record with contests, I asked JiNX for help (because she is awesome... both as a person and at making enjoyable contests). The idiots theme is inspired by Jason...

This came up in a thread recently... but it isn't the first time that I've seen this put forward in relation to TOS. A lot of people look at TOS today and see camp, which they associate with the bright vivid colors used in TOS production which we see while watching TOS on regular broadcast TV or...

December 29, 1964 (Tuesday): The 11 foot model (built by Richard Datin, Mel Keys and Vern Sion at Volmer Jensen's Production Models Shop on Providencia Avenue in Burbank, California) was delivered to the Howard A. Anderson studio. This version is unpowered and the windows are painted on the...

This month's challenge is Myths and Legends as suggested by Starscape. Description:Myths and Legends - interpreting myths and legends of Earth in terms of the Trek universe (e.g. like in TOS where the Greek gods were visiting aliens) or show the myths and legends of the Trek universe (e.g. a...

I don't have a really good idea off hand and Ptrope suggested I ask for some opinions from you guys. The idea I was considering was hand drawn (or painted) artwork... mainly because other than illustrations for mathematics, I haven't drawn anything in nearly 20 years. I figured with three...

Seems interesting enough to throw this into the ring... I'm not much of a graphic designer (or coin collector), but I think I would like to have a coin like this one. Click to enlarge

I'll start it off with this image I made this morning... A warp field dynamics seminar given by Commodore Stone at Star Base 11.

And now for something completely different. I've shared a number of my illustration and Photoshop projects, but I realized that I hadn't really shared any of my other (Trek related) works. One project I've been working on for a while now is a replica of the 33 inch Enterprise model used in...

I had started putting this section of my site together about 6 months ago, and I've been slowly working on it since then. It isn't finished, but I think it has reached a point where it might be useful to some people. Amateur Math and Physics Resource Page As with all my projects, I'm guessing...

From time to time people bring up questions on science and technology in this forum, which in and of itself is quite understandable as that is part of why this forum exist, but they are then sometimes dissatisfied with the explanations given. This dissatisfaction seems to fall into two major...

I doubt many remember, but about a year and a half ago I had done a small venture into the world of CG modeling and animation. The goals and motivations were pretty straight forward... See what it took to actually do 3D modeling (so I could better judge what it was that I was seeing from...

I've been studying aspects of non-Euclidean geometries and topology since the late 1980s, and so it is sometimes hard for me to remember that most people aren't exposed to this stuff. And by most people, I'm including most people who major in math and physics too. These areas aren't pushed as...
