  Well then, here you find my collection of models for future building projects.  Some feature the boxart and a few details and others have pictures of the sprues etc... and more detailed information.  Just click on the photo's for a better view.  Enjoy !!!!!!!

 

  This is the Polar Lights 1/1000 Constitution class model of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek: The Original Series.  It is designed as a snap fix model with 3 different versions to build, pilot, second pilot and production versions.  I have 2 of these kits and I will be building 1 of them as the USS Defiant from "In the mirror darkly" from season 4 of Enterprise.  The other 1 will be used for the conversion into a heavy destroyer using the Starship Modeler resin kit (see below).

 

  Here is the Starship Modeler conversion kit to build the Destroyat class heavy destroyer.  I will be building this ship as the USS Breckinridge.

 

 

 

  It is a resin conversion kit with several resin pieces which along with a Polar Lights 1/1000 Constitution class model of the USS Enterprise kit makes a nice TOS style ship like the USS Reliant from Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan.  The box contains the instructions, resin pieces and a set of decals by JBOT decals. 

 

 

 

  Here are the resin parts.  This is my first resin kit and I am aware of a few common problems with resin parts.  But I can say for this kit that all the resin parts are free from bubbles or warpage.  The only criticism I have is for the one rectangular piece at the bottom which has some ripples in the surface that will need a bit of sanding/filling to rectify.  Other than that I am extremely impressed with the quality of the mouldings and details.

 

  This is the Polar Lights (PL) kit of the Reman Scorpion fighter from Star Trek: Nemesis.  It is yet another high quality kit from PL but it is let down by the awful rubber figures and the lack of waterslide decals (you only get stickers). 

 

 

 

  I will light this kit for the cockpit and engines and create my own decals for the wing emblems.  I will also utilise some suitably looking cockpit decals for the interior instead of the stickers.  This kit seems to be unpopular with a lot of Star Trek modellers because of it's subject matter but I think it will be a nice looking kit with the extra details added and the rubber figures in the bin, LOL.

 

 

 

  Here is the AMT/ERTL TIE Interceptor from the Star Wars film Return of the JEDI.  It's  a basic and easy enough kit and although lacking in detail in comparison the Fine Molds version it's still a worthy addition to any collection.

 

 

 

 

This is what you get in the box.

 

 

 

 

  This little kit is the Droid Fighters from Star Wars: Episode I by AMT/ERTL.  It contains three ships with four pieces per ship.  A very basic kit with a fair bit of detail to make it worthwhile making.  I have a book called 'A Galaxy Far Away', where Matthew Usher builds this kit with lighting and weathering and looks very effective.  I think I will follow his example.

 

 

  Here is the great Klingon Bird of Prey by AMT/ERTL.  Allegedly this kit is 1/350 scale and would sit alongside PL 1/350 Refit Constitution kit.  Anyway this is a fantastic ship from Star Trek which will require a lot of detail painting and weathering.

 

 

  A very famous Starship, the USS Reliant was the first of a different design of a Starfleet Starship to appear on the big screen in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.  It deviated from the more traditional look but retained the technical composition from the refitted constitution class.  I will be making a few inaccuracy fixes and lighting this kit, probably with something from DLM's range.
