One of my 1/350 TOS ENTERPRISE BUILDS

It's funny how modern photography and an expertly-constructed 1/350 model of the Enterprise can put the original shots of the 11-footer to shame.

I'd do anything to get a chance to film some flybys with this beauty!

I think it brings the intent of the original shots to full fruition. As blasphemous as it is to say the fact is a well made 1/350 scale model today is a more precision detailed replica than the original 11 footer. And because it's a (relatively) large physical model it conveys a sense of mass and substance. You have to spend a lot of time and effort with cgi to get that kind of effect.

Although it would probably be labour intensive (and expensive) as hell can you imagine an episode or episodes remastered with good models rather than what they did in TOS-R? I'm envisioning something like a 6 or 8 ft. TOS E and other models made to scale.

On the other hand Round2 really needs to come out with a 1/350 scale Klingon D7 battle cruiser kit. :D
 
Many Thanks Guys!

I really want to film this model recreating classic shots from the original series.
I used the Polar Lights lighting kit for all the lights. I adjusted the lighting to reflect correct scale.
 
Incredible work!!

I've been wanting to get one of these ever since they came out. What were the Tamiya and Model Master paints you mixed?
