There has to be something better - TOS Shuttlecraft build

[Onigiri]

Hmmm...I think you should offer your kit BUT because it is TWICE as big as RC's and will take up TWICE the room I think yours should be half the price...yup.....well, c'mon...there ARE no Jedi Mind Tricks in TREK...had to give it a try....

This turned out perfect. What an amazingly clean and beautiful build.

A stunning achievement (and modest to boot).

Congrats on one of the most original pieces I've seen here in a long time......

I have always been a die-hard star wars fan, but the Replica Prop Forum has started to change my DNA. Your TOS Shuttle build is a gorgeous example of why. :love

Congratulations!

This is absolutely fantastic. I had heard rumors that MR was going to do a studio scale TOS shuttle, but nothing was announced. If you do decide to do a kit at some point, consider me to be first on the list. And thanks for taking the time to chronicle the build from the get go.

Wow, that is an amazing build. Incredible!

Cool :thumbsup

Wow. A stunning piece.

Did I already mention that instead of the acrylic display base with triangle lights, you should put it on a planet base and have a huge ape-like creature banging on the top of the shuttle with jagged boulder? You could even motorize the ape-man's arms so they move the boulder up and down, simulating the smashing of the roof.

Or not.

Again, a FANTASTIC piece -- thanks for sharing all the cool photos.

This really looks like it could be a companion piece, (pun intended?) to the Master Replicas Enterprise!

feek61, that's one of the finest builds from scratch I've seen around here... or anywhere! :love

Thanks guys for the kudos. I must say this model would have sucked had I not found this website. The work here is very inspirational. I am particularly impressed with the work REL has done. His work has really MADE be do better work after seeing what can be done. He is not the only one; I owe thanks to many. When I finally finish this Galileo I'm planning on doing a shuttlepod from "Enterprise." I'm sure that will take a few years :lol

I have not had time to finish up the Galileo but I'm hoping to really wrap her up soon . . . . and of course pix will follow, lol

Well, when I get around to building my own TOS Shuttlecraft, I definitely plan on using your expose' here on the RPF as a modeling guide for my own! Thanks a bunch for the work you've done. It's a masterpiece! :cool

 

[boodha]

Beautiful work on this classic shuttle
I love the video of the nacelles

 

[modeler1964]

What else can be said about this model other than it is perfect. My compliments to you on a great build!

 

[feek61]

Wow, thank you guys so much. It's nice to hear from someone other than my wife (who hates it!!). Well I'm finally getting time to work on this a little more. Really all I have left is some touch-up and to build the real stand. The one it's on now is the test stand, lol. I'll try to post some pictures at the end of the weekend. Hopefully I will get a bunch done but be assured that the final stand will be in the TOS style . . .

(I think it's going to be kind of cool!!!!!!)
