Scratch Built Mars Mining Colony

Let's see... pop cans, some zip tie hold-downs, chicken wire, part from various models, including most notably to my eye, the Klingon cruiser from the movies...
Gorgeous work, really! I love how a skilled modeler can take pretty mundane odds and ends and a nice paint job and whip something like this which looks very plausible. The rock-strewn field this stuff is set up on really sells it as an outpost on Mars.
I love it!

Awesome! As a child, I was at a Star Trek exhibition and there were also some original miniature sets from TNG. They did not look different or better than this.
Nice details. And with the colors and weathering, it looks like this buildings have seen some martian dust storms. Realy looks like a mars colony.
(And in my opinion, so much better than CGI :rolleyes )

I love it! But please tell me you rescued the cockpit from that Horizon Madcat after filming!
Great job! Would love to see more!

Nice stuff! That's the kind of stuff that brings me back to the modeling forum over and over again.
