Here's where I am so far,

Thanks for looking.

Man, you are a master.

Beautiful job. :thumbsup

I'm more excited than I can say in a family forum.

Will this be movie version (TMP or ST:VI) or TOS?

Please say "Movie"....

 

[Commander Max]

It's the movie version.
Rich has it posted on hobbytalk.

Rich this one is going to be popular.
I think you might need to hire some casters.
Most of the guys that have the 350 E will want one, or two, three would be ideal. Now how to model V'ger.

I was thinking about getting casting help as it takes up time I could be making new stuff.

Here's an update.

Beautiful... Finally, an accurate Millenium Falcon.

This is pretty exciting model. :thumbsup

That would be the best way to keep up with your commissions, and finish them within your lifetime.

 

[Treadwell]

Lookin' good.

Since this isn't studio scale, moving to general modeling.

Looking SWEEEEEEEEEET . :thumbsup

As for this,

" I was thinking about getting casting help

Are you hand-shaping these parts?

 

[Captain April]

As much as I like the Enerprise E, I couldn't justify buying the monster size kit. But this is a different story, this kit is smaller plus it's in scale with the Refit. Will it be case in the same Clear resin?You should get a huge order for this kit which should bring the price down to must have range. I am starting to save my pennys now. Any idea when it will be done?

Um this is studio scale. The TOS D7 which this was based off of is 1/350 or about 28inches long dependign on who you get your stats from...

Why is it being moved??? I mean I don't really care as long as I can find it but...

I thought the original TOS model (which I have a - dunno what generation - copy of) is more 1/300, unfortunately not fitting in size to either the DeBoer or the PL Enterprise. How long will your model be, REL?

 

[REL]

This one is 24.07" long, roughly half the size of the studio model.

 

[tobiasrichter]

hmm strange - the one I have is about 29 inch, which would make it around 1/300. The guy that sold it said that it was a casting from an original D7. Where there different scaled studio models of the D7 - maybe a pyro version?

 

[PHArchivist]

I think you guys are talking about two different models.

REL is making the movie version, right?

And tobiasrichter, you're referring to the TOS version, correct?

IIRC the studio model for the movies was notably bigger that the TOS studio model (that Icons replicated).

 

[tobiasrichter]

Of course, that is correct and makes all sense. Just got a bit confused with jedidades mention that the TOS D7 is 1/350, because I thought it's more 1/300. Well, doesn't matter that much...

RELs version is surely based on the much more delicate movie version and I'm really looking forward to it.

 

[PHArchivist]

And it will be awesome.

 

[Captain April]

Any more progress on this project? They just sold the real one last week for a nice chuck of change. I would have killed for the Defiant.

 

[REL]

Still getting all the detail pieces together, sculpting the basic shape turned out to be the easy part.
