Absolutely brilliant.

Many Thanks!!

Another tribute video featuring my 1/350 Refit build...

That's fantastic! I'd swear it were footage from The Motion Picture if you didn't tell me it was your model! 

Again, many thanks!!!!

While taking a much needed break from the bench, I put together this video of my 1/350 Refit.

Here's a quick video of the completed model on my coffee table...

Your work never ceases to amaze me. Yes, the TOS Enterprise is classic and iconic; however, I like the refit (no bloody A) as well. The ST:TMP Enterprise was one of my favorite kits, but I didn't know how to use the dry transfers and messed it up. I still have bits and pieces of that classic kit.

Have you ever thought of trying to use laser pointers to replicate phaser fire? Those cheap ones you can get as a keychain or cat chasing toy.

Amazing work!  Looking forward to your next build.

Thanks very much indeed!

No way on Laser pointers. No way. The risk of damaging the eyes of a child,pet or foolish adult is NOT worth it.

At all.

I didn't know if it was feasible or anything. I figured they were harmless since they make them into cat toys and key chains.

A couple more fun shots of the completed model...

Another bit of fun with my 1/350 Refit...

My 1/350 Refit Build.
The First Picture is of the ship in space. It's a composite of the model in front of a star field.
The second Picture is the raw set up and how the photo started. The two layer black cloth has glitter attached to it, although somewhat hard to see in the photograph.

Sex shot !! Beuatiful look at the lady !! Great look at the studio model and yours , great work sir !!

Where did you get the lighting kit? I have seen one from TrekModeler, have you seen or evaluated their product?

Thank you

Some atmospheric clips of the model in tribute to it's appearance in Star Trek the Motion Picture. Over a flat white base coat, The Aztec designs were accomplished with masks and four iridescent colors(Red,Green,Gold and Blue)through an air brush at a low setting. The model features a fully detailed and lit shuttle bay. The hull spotlights on the saucer are just that, and illuminate the ships registry. The model also features sound and the sequential start up sequence seen in the film. The model was filmed in front of both a Blue and Green screen and was difficult to blend due to it's paints. the score is from Jerry Goldsmith

A quick video and an actual screen capture of the Refit model In action! Please Enjoy! Thanks!!

That's a great looking model. I have a question; where did you find the dilithium crystals?

A recreation of a scene from Star Trek The Motion Picture using the 1/350 Polar Lights model.

The model was filmed in front of a blue screen with the Star Field added optically later. The model was stationary and the camera moved on a dolly. The Model... The model was painted to reflect the filming miniatures appearance in Star Trek The Motion Picture. Four Iridescent colors over a flat white base(Blue, Gold, Green and Red), applied via an air brush.
