Anyone still build models?

Great build!

Good top saucer detail for POTT, Spacedock:

Studio Scale Tyrell Pyramid

I kinda thought the little discs reminded me of the Colonial Mineral Ship from Battlestar Galactica.

Well, that's my 1/1000 scale NX-01 finished. What started as a colour guinea pig for an upcoming 1/350 build, really blossomed into something pretty nice.

Wow, this looks absolutely stunning, @HotRod! The work you did on this appears to be flawless. The metallic paint job and internal lighting really make it pop and come to life. I wish I could see this in real life and study it with my own eyes for a while.

Do you have a ballpark number for how many hours of work you put into this?

It's hard to say as the time I have to work on my models is often very sporadic. This one took about 4 and a half months, but that includes week long periods where I barely looked at the thing. Thanks for the kind words.

As noted in a separate thread, I finally got around to the vinyl figure model of Gowron I bought 30 years ago

Gowron!

So great to see real physical models again... So gorgeous

At the RPF, we see…a Killer Bee

The Killer Bee. A Star Trek Ship

The Killer Bee . Total scratch build. Based off of the concept in Jakills Star Fleet reference manual. I redesigned it to be more in the first few films. The work bee pod attaches to a warp, weapon pod sled. 2 Micro photo torpedo and one phaser bank. I kept the bee clean and weathered the sled...

That's another excellent piece of work. Again, physical styrene/resin/3D printed parts or whole ship, is the way to go... I love seeing a physical vessel. Nothing beats the physical reality of a model.

Here are a couple of old ideas I had done a while back...

Antede-Class:

Sauria-Class:

That Romulan cobra-head looks Mimbari there.

Crossover design ....... Romulan ship also has Starfleet nacelles

It begins.

Here we go! This will be amazing

Here is my old Seleya-Class:

More kits for the pile! After I finish the1/350 NX-01 that I'm working on, I'm looking foward to taking a break from Starfleet and all their various shades of gray, and digging into that Bird of Prey. Can't wait to weather it up and make it dirty!

Cerritos! I can't wait to see you tackle her!

I'll probably tackle that after the Bird of Prey.

Nice collection. I like the BOP

Not models as such but I love mechanical counters..

I'm in the process of building one from a Ugers kit but I am not confident I'll have mine working so this time around I'm just going to build the physical model with the 4 digits... Next time I'll try to build it fully working.

Project of the day: Start and finish the Navigational Deflector.
