Um,

 I stare at those pics and expect to blink and look up at the next scene in a Star Trek movie! It's that good, well even better (is that possible?) because we get such a clear look at the beautiful lines and wonderful paint/details that you've lavished upon a ship that most of us thought we were familiar with?

 There's "talent", then there's a whole nuther level and I gotta say your's is topnotch!

Thanks for sharing!

BTW- when are we gonna see work like that in FSM? Oh, I should ask- do you have a website that we can see more?

Now that is pure craftmanship.  I am so glad to be working with you on my next few projects.  You are a master model maker!  And got the credentials to show for it.

IIRC someone once said,"Talent recognizes talent". So with this kind of work in the portfolio and your proven ability to do large scale Star Trek projects I gotta ask- are there any plans to fill out the fleet from the ST universe with something like a 1/350th scale Enterprise from the original series? I know alot of folks have waited a long time for such a piece to be replicated with quality and the work shown here speaks for itself. I mean afterall wouldn't a 1701 be comparitively easy to do after a 1701-E? Well, at least that's how I look at it when I'm assembling the plastic offerings already in the market? The work involved to produce something presentable seems to keep growing as you follow the chronology of the incarnations of the various Enterprises through their developements. I'm confident enough to know that I'm a good modeler but it humbles me to see a scratchbuilt offering like this (the Ent-E) looking so sharp, detailed and 'flawless' when I still haven't seen anyone scratchbuild a presentable TOS?

BTW: After viewing this, the other threads posted here by you, Rel and the website I gotta say I am in awe!

REL is actually the one who is doing the 1/350 TOS masters for me (AW Studios).  His talent speaks for itself.

REL is a master when it comes to creating. 

The E-E is a master piece. 

Wait until you guys see AWStudios 1:350 masters REL has created.

Head on over to the Resin Illuminati forums to see this beauty in creation.

I said it before and I will say it again.  Nothing short of spectacular REL.  Absolutely ready for filming.  My only regret is that I was never able to get one :)
