Polar Lights 1/1000 Star Trek TOS models - Anyone got these?
I'm eyeballing the Polar Lights Star Trek TOS models as I have always wanted to build TOS ships and remember doing a few of the small kits 3 ship sets with the Enterprise, Klingon Battle Cruiser, and Romulan Bird of Prey (AMT I think?)in the 1970s.
Any builders here have a few good detail shots of the PL kits assembled? What with all the gearing back toward model building, I have a hankering to do some of these as well, with variations of them in recreated scenes and/or "artistic license" (battle damaged Constellation, etc.). May even get into kitbashing to create some of the ships as portrayed in the old Federation Technical Manual.
Also, anyone know anything about Polar Lights possibly bringing out a TOS Romulan Bird of Prey? I found another manufacturer, but the price compared to the Polar Lights is a bit high.
Too, have found some interesting decals for the Klingon, to make it in a Romulan theme. Check these out (website http://www.jbot.ca/sciencefiction.shtml):
Romulan D-7
Romulan D-7 Storm Bird
The Storm Bird comes in variable color schemes.
Not familiar with the background in that, as all I ever
saw was the reddish orange one from the old series.
Romulan D-7 (TAS)
Not familiar with this marking scheme, or what "TAS" refers to.
Pretty cool stuff.
Hey, anyone wanna do a Star Trek 1/1000 TOS Group Build?
