Here is a cool link to the Polar Lights refit Enterprise with a guy doing the interiors and stuff. Far more ambitious than I want to try right now.

Yeah....the master of that bueatiful model is the work of Thomas Sasser (the same guy that made the TOS Enterprise prop from those New Voyagers fan-films. Polar lights makes the kit for about $50-60.
I may buy one myself and store it for the day i have a house and a place to display something so huge....untill then, it's 2500th scale for me. Posted by Aban Rune (Member # 226) on :
That is a truly sweet piece of work. I guess my only question is, why go to the trouble of building the interior desck in so much detail if you can't see it? Do the shuttle bay doors actually open?
Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :
I think you have the option of building the model with the doors open.
Posted by Aban Rune (Member # 226) on :
Yes, but he built it with the doors closed.
Reading everything more carefully, he seems to be reviewing the kit... so he's probably doing everything whether it shos or not. Sorry. Am dumb.

Someday I will be able to build models like that. Of course by then it will be as useful a talent as making candles. Gotta find that 3D Studio Max....

I know of someone planning to make an accurate cut-away (based on the old Kimble poster) using this model (hey, the toughest part is already dome, right?).
Should be incredible if it ever gets accomplished.

I'm working on a model of a pre-TOS ship using these cool little orange-juice bottles as the base for the nacelles, and plastic pomade jars for the secondary hull. It's gonna be sweet.
