Studio Scale Defiant (DS9)

i never got past season 2 when it was on the air. your gorgeous build has persuaded me to give the series a 2nd chance... I just finished watching tom riker steal this ship...
 
Absolutely amazing. I can't wait to see the finished model.

That is fantastic Rich. How many more parts does this awesome ship have? I'm excited to see how you're going to work out the lighting. I love it.
 
Whats' the mother mold made out of ? I usually use epoxy glass. For the 66 inch TOS Enterprise I'm going to use some UltraCal 30 to save some money. Epoxy at 100 dollars a gallon goes quick on these big molds. Clean nice mold.

Great work!!

Thank you.

The mothermold is hydrostone reinforced with burlap, then cast in with 1x1 pine boards to make a stand. I made a moldbox first, then laid rubber, then mothermold over it.

I worked in the studios for years and learned 90% of this stuff there. Your work has that same look. Where did you learn to do this so well?

Thought that looked like stone. Your method is perfect. If you want to know how to make a good mold guys this is it.

Any idea what one of these beauties will go for? Althought I would love one, I don't have the room for it, even if I could afford it.
