That's a 1-2-3 block, commonly used in machine shops.

Alright - CNC! That's the way to go. One day I will finish building my mill, and it will be just big enough to accommodate a 32" Falcon.

It looks like a setting block, we use them where I work on surface tables to measure heights etc

And FANTASTIC work Rich!!!! Cant wait to see this take shape!!!

How do you do it, are you a machine?

Sweet, one of my fav. ships, cant wait to see it finished!!!

REL... I'm sure this question is not good for either my wallet/heart health but.... have you considered making a Klingon Bird of Prey in Studio Scale?



Please say no. Well.. please say YES.

Yeah, but once you break it down into individual parts it's not that bad. I started one about 15 years ago in 1/100 scale (according to the FSM plans- pretty close, if not exactly studio scale) and the main body of the wings was only about 18" long ea. minus the sponsons for the guns. I got the top of one wing fully "feathered" with all the plates, then had a nervous breakdown and never got back to it.

Interesting. Without nacelles or nose, the Defiant looks vaguley Cardassian.

Just goona say the defiant is the one ship in the trek universe that i think would look almost at home in any other universe..

Awesome - My favorite Trek Ship ( next to Voyager ) . Better start saving my pennies

Here's a mock-up of the pieces next to the Ertl kit.

OH MY!!!!

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE! I am speechless! FANTASTIC JOB!!!!!

Oh man... I am EXCITED!!!

Here's some progress on this.

Thanks.

My God.... that is BEAUTIFUL Richard!
