    No bloody A, B, C, or D

    I got my hands on an old edition of the venerable 18” Enterprise (no bloody A, B, C, or D); this is a re-release from the ‘90s put out by AMT/ERTL in 1/537 scale. Which way to go? There is always much debate regarding how accurate one wishes to make this model. The kit itself has some...

    Colonial Viper MkI

    Here's a W.I.P. look at my build of Moebius' 1/32 Colonial Viper MK1: Box art and a snazzy art card of Ralph McQuarrie's viper concept design: Stock Cockpit: I removed the molded detail from the cockpit tub and re-faced it with ParaGrafix's photoetched set: I opted not to use the pilot...

    We've Spotted Imperial Walkers

    Some pictures of AMT/ERTL's AT-AT kit, which I believe is around 1/100 scale. I built this so long ago I don't remember any of the details.

    YT-1300 Light Freighter, "The Kestrel"

    Here's a look at my conversion of Ertl/MPC's 1/58 scale Millenium Falcon kit into a conjectural YT-1300 light freighter which I've named, "The Kestrel". This is the link to the SMA forum post detailing her construction: http://www.scalemodeladdict.com/index.php/topic,7908.0.html

    The YT-1300 Project

    I was looking for a quick-and-dirty build so I took the old Etrl/MPC Millennium Falcon kit out of my stash. I've been avoiding building this one because of the mammoth amount of work involved to make it accurate. So I decided not to make it accurate, and instead take some artistic license and...

    W.I.P. - Moebius 1/32 BSG Colonial Viper MKII

    Fuselage halves aligned and decals placed as templates for drilled-out RCS thrusters. Moulded detail drilled/cut/sanded out in preperation for Paragraphix photoetched replacement detail. Jig used to bend photoetch. Photoetch in place.

    DO 335 A-12 "Anteater"

    This is the old 1/72 scale Dragon kit of the Dornier 335 A-12 "Ameisenbar" ("Anteater"). The A-12 was the two-seat training variant of the Do 335 "Pfiel" ("Arrow"). Only two production models of this aircraft were completed at the Oberpfaffenhofen aircraft factory before it was overrun by...

    Slave 1

    MPC/AMT Slave-1 This is my build-up of the old 1/72 scale Slave-1 by MPC/AMT. It’s on the verge of being replaced in my collection by the new, and much more accurate, Fine Molds kit. Until Fine Molds released their kit a couple of years ago, the MPC/AMT version was the only one available and...

    B-Wing Starfighter

    This is my build up of the old AMT 1/94th scale Snap-Tite B-Wing kit. It’s built mostly straight-from-the-box; the only modifications I made were the addition of etched brass mesh behind the intake and exhaust housings, necessary in order to cover up the see-through nature of the fuselage. And...

    AT-ST

    Here are a few photos of my take on the old AMT Snap-Tite 1/48 model of the Imperial All-Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST), a.k.a., "Chicken Walker". The kit was built basically straight-from-the-box; my alterations consisted of fabricating the top handrail with metal pins and wire, cutting out...

    Any Guesses?

    I'm thinning out my old 1/72 aircraft collection and thought I would post a shot of this model before I get rid of it. As an added bonus, let's see if anyone knows what it is...

    Botany Bay !?! We have to get out of here!

    Here are a few pics of my build-up of the DY-100 Class Interplanetary Cruiser, “Botany Bay”, from the original Star Trek Series episode “Space Seed”. The model represents the sleeper ship commandeered by Kahn Nonnian Singh and his cadre of genetically superior “supermen” following...

    Y-Wing Fighter/Bomber

    This is my build-up of the old MPC Snap-Fast 1/89 scale kit of Koensyr BTL-A4 Y-Wing Fighter/Bomber. This kit is much loathed by Star Wars modelers due to its complete inaccuracy and lack of detail but I decided to go for it anyway and try to correct its problems to produce an accurate finished...

    U.S.S. Reliant

    Here are several photographs of my build up of Amt/Ertl’s 1/650th scale kit of the Miranda Class Starship, U.S.S. Reliant. I can’t say that I was completely satisfied with the outcome – I went a little freestyle with the Aztec paint scheme and I didn’t quite get the results I was looking...
