Newest Star Trek Model Build

Been building models for nearly 20 years as a hobby. This is my latest one. I'm not a master builder, but this IS one of the better/most accurate one's I've done. It's not a masterpiece, but it's still pretty good in my opinion. Just wanted to share. Opinions, good or bad are welcome. Thanks for looking!...

That's a heck of a job on that! What scale is the model? How many hours did you put into it?

I would like to first if say its incredibly nerdy to even make something like that. Let me clarify by saying I mean that as the ultimate compliment. I take pride in my nerditude but lack the skill you have shown. That is amazing!

Thanks! It's a 1/350 scale. Started out as just parts in a box. Here is one that I built a few years ago. I decided to light it up because I was building it to sell. I ended up selling it to a guy in AZ for $2500. I did not want to light the aforementioned kit as it's REALLY time consuming....

LOVE IT!

the ST I to ST VI is my favorite design of the Enterprise by far. i just wish they didn't keep changing the design of the bridge with every movie. i'm also partial to the 1701-E and the 1701 from the 2009 movie.

don't suppose you've built one from the latest movie have you? i just about flipped out when i found the newest 1701 that Hot Wheels just came out with.

Thanks! No. There hasn't been an official release of that kit yet.

I wanted to build something cool like this once...until I took an arrow to the knee.

Cool build. What's next? A Star Destroyer perhaps?

Thought about branching off into the 'Wars world, but I don't have enough experience with reference materials to accurately build a monstrosity like that. I don't have room enough as it is. Most of my free space is occupied by arcade machines.

Looks pretty good. I've considered the kit but already have a huge collection and don't feel like spending $100+ on it to then figure out where I can display it.

I've been building off and on about 40 years now I think. Some of my stuff.

Agreed. Eventually you're gonna get the itch again though
