The runts of the fleet, and more... digital and practical builds, vehicles and props.

The Unwept, Unregarded, and Unsung of Starfleet and other... ie yeah I really am too busy to do another Enterprise model (yawn)
More will follow in their own comments, along with props (the Surak, Atlas Tug, Spacedock Drone, Wiggy, etc...).

Starting off with the Ready Room Stargazer, aka Livingston's Ride, TNG set dressing...

A DS9 Frankenfleet follow-up. Judy Elkins' USS ERTL, aka the Atlas Tug. Still a WIP til more ref is sorted (underside cavity of canopy area)

TNG's Spacedock Drone.

Probably what Snoopy would've been zipping around on. Also considered a WIP until I can see the underside of the real deal. Some unresolved material properties til I wrap it all up at that point.

Nice work! Always cool seeing these models that are cobbled-together from random parts. Getting to be a rarity since most ships are done digitally these days.

BTW, when the behind the scenes pics for the tug came out, I had a big *DiCaprio pointing meme* moment since a lot of the parts were in my kids' toybox, particularly the "arms"!

The range of sci-fi building toys that went into these second team ships is staggering. And the cost to acquire them as reference now is brutal sometimes, but necessary... sigh ;-) Thanks...!

ST III Merchantman | SS Eileen

There's a long story behind this, but the short ver is that I am looking for ref and ref help (but don't see a place to request such, so unsure how to go after that). This one has been especially cantankerous. Finicky. A right pain in the... well... you get the idea?

With the history of the model, locking down the last 4-6 kits used on the ship has been a task. Sharing what I can with the original builder as well. Will drop in cg wip and 'practical' set-up for referencing, riffing.

etc etc etc... lots more could be shown, but a touch frustrated in this late-stage WIP... grrr ;-)

ST III and IV's Spacedock Tugs. The model was modified for IV with new pilots and a lighting system.
