Here we go.........=/\=.....Whoosh!
Oct the 5th 2006 I went out to my garage determined to build my own 1/350th TOS Enterprise. I had never scratch built a model in my life, this was my first. I had been contemplating this for some time, but finally had the time and the money and the garage. I built the garage from an old pole barn that was on the property and turned it into a two story, two bay garage complete with an attic and an office. At any rate, I wanted to do it with the simplest, cheapest, easiest materials and supplies available, so I started looking around the garage at what I had and contemplating what I needed.
What you will see in this thread is exactly how I created one of the most iconic ships in history with nothing more than paper, tape, glue, fiberglass and bondo.
That may not sound like a big deal around here, considering all of the talent, but this was before everyone was doing it. At least as far as I knew. Also, this was my first and I was using.... simple stuff. Below are a few pictures from the begining. As soon as I show where I started, I'll show where I'm at.
I don't want to spam the forum, so I will be waiting a short time between posts while I work on the 50" Refit, the 1:1 Cylon, the Forced Perspective Fleet and so on.
