interesting kitbash. what's the story, Hal?

No.

MAJ Mike

No.

Looks a lot like a 'Loknar' (sp?) class frigate from I think the FASA Trek wargame except for the sensor dish, weapons pod, or whatever it is over the warp nacelles.

The is is a kit bash of a starship modeler kit factory ship (perimeter action starship).. I bought one of the last ones, (it is on line on this sight) built it and though I could do better.  I decided that a perimeter ship was much the same as a destroyer durring ww2.  that ship was a picket destroyer, thus using radar to warn the fleet.   since I have well over a dozen engines, i'll be busy for quite a while.    I  took a etching of the kit factory ships hull and went wild from there.  I had to remove the roto dome because it was crooked.  I releveled it, then added 2 pieces of .060 sheet styrene.  as it sits,  I will paint it in overall grey.  i'll use stick on numbers and letters, then paint it overall a very dark charcole grey.  Once the masked letters are removed, ill use stock decals  then seal it.  sll

how long is the model? you don't paint it?

     This ship is from the polar lights tos  Enterprise kit.  It is about 10 inches long.  As for paint,  I am still building  and adjusting it's final form.   Paint is later.  I have just about picked out the colors.  If I use standad spray paint, i'll buy it.  if I get my air brush out of storage,  i'll mix my own.

from pictures seems smaller

good work, I'd like to see it painted

Whoops! Well a Loknar looks sorta like that.

Cool idea, I like the idea of the big sensor system. Looking forward to seeing more work on her.

    well, today i was in the hospital all day doing tests.  i am goind to die,  but they cant say when.  so i should post again sometime soon.  as for the model,  i had to remove the dome.  ill put in an alignment pin and finish the ship without the dome.  then i'll put the dome over the pin and glue it in place over the pin and have done with itoms. 

sorry for your situation, i'm without words

Thanks, i am ok today.  next year who knows.  as it stands my song will out live me, and it is still being written

wow, that was a tough one... finally finished this ship.  it came out great, and up on a shelf.  thanks for all the comments.    sorry no pics,  i have stopped doing that

ok, just to fill in the spaces.   i bought one of the last perimeter action starship models from starship modeler kit factory.    i built it as stated on the directions.  that is also posted.   then i decided that i didn't like it.  normally i would have delt with this little with several m-80s.  but i was fresh out.  so being a otherwise semi normal model builder, i decided that i could build better.  to me a perimeter action ship is a scout,  like the picket destroyers of ww2 fame.  i took the upper primary hull, and 2 complete engines from my left overs.  i scratched the secondary hull from .40 and .60 styrene sheets.  i liked the hull shape, so it stayed.  i decided that i needed somthing more.  i remembered when i parked a navy gruman hawk eye aircraft. i liked the rotating radar dish, so i built one, again out of styrene sheets.  i glued it toether, then found out that i missed the mounting surface by about 2 degrees.  i sawed the radar off and rebuilt the dorsal.  this time i aligned the dome mount with a spirit level.  once that was in the bubble. I LET IT DRY. so far, this is the post you see.   i let it sit for about a month.  yesterdat i finished painting the hull.  i will start decaling it soon

ok, well this one is just about finished.  these should be the last pics.  i only need to touch up the after portion of the engines. then sealer and shelf...

You must have an incredibly large Star Fleet. Neat stuff.

almost all  of the 1000 scale federation stuff that has come out..... i am starting to scratch build my own stuff now

ok, now i am confused.    i was asked to paint it.   i was asked to finish it.  and as of yet i have seen no comments, and or anything.   this is really ... well i am not allowed to write what this is.   maybe i should have included that gundam, at least there would be 10,000 comments by now.... i give up

Comments comes with more pictures keep posting it

(what you do with 10.000 comments? you collect them? i prefere more kits to place on my room )

nope, i think i am done...this site is causing too much aggravation   so long,  good luck and thanks for all the fish. 

probably the problem is that you put the finished pictures on first page  now i see it.

when someone looks at the new reply on the post, rarely look again at the first page, included me .

same here. When you just add pics to the first post its just an edit and i dont think the site shows that the thread has new information on it. or just add a post saying you added new pics to the first page. /shrug

For the record i like your kit bashes but i dont always have much to say.( as you can see by my enormous post count.) would still like to see a pic of your entire Star Fleet, it sounds impressive.

Build for yourself anyway man, the hobby should be relaxing, as well as sharing your builds.

btw, i dont think Gundam is very popular here, nor sci-fi in general.

Hey it looks like an EWACS Enterprise

Better an EWACS Enterprise than an EWOK Enterprise

just keeping the starfleet on the front page

its a sun shade, it gets hot out here

Yeah, if you think transporting tribbles to their engine room ticked the Klinks off, imagine the response you'd get to shooting a few feral Teddy Ruxpins out the torp launchers at 'em.

sir, slowly put the bunny down, step back, and put your hands on your head!!!!!!
