Scale Models

My scale models are ships any Star Wars or Star Trek fan would be proud to display on their bookshelf.

  • Lights: Some ships are upgraded from the basic kit using my custom-designed, internal LED lighting, which emulates the lighting seen on the studio models. “Super-bright” LEDs light up the model, even in bright daylight conditions.
  • Paint: All ships are hand-painted in enamels using brushes only — no airbrushing. For me, the challenge is the patience it takes to cover a dinner-plate size saucer with a half-inch paint brush. The result is a smooth, precise coat.
  • Finish: I finish each one in a durable acrylic clear coat that resists scuffs and yellowing.

See the build process for each of these models in my Flickr albums.

Millennium Falcon YT-1300 Light Transport (Modified)

$449 CAD plus shipping

Punch it, Chewie! Arguably the most famous space ship in film, the Millennium Falcon embodies the design aesthetic  of the entire Star Wars franchise: asymmetric design, dirt and space gunk, rust, and generally a well-worn, lived-in feel.

USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D

Unavailable

Make it so, Picard said. And I did! The Enterprise D is the star of Star Trek: The Next Generation, in which its crew boldly went for seven years and one movie.

ent_d_assembled

This isn’t your ordinary Enterprise D. As shown in the episodes, “Encounter at Farpoint”, “Best of Both Worlds”, and the movie “Generations”, the saucer section of this 18″ ship actually separates and can be displayed on its own stand.

Powerful rare-earth magnets hold the saucer to the drive section, so the saucer can be detached at any time.

Sharp-eyed Trek fans will know that the oval shape on the saucer’s underside is a smaller craft named “Calypso”. In this model, the Calypso is held magnetically to the saucer, but can be undocked for separate display.

Both display stands are also magnetic, which means there are no ugly mounting holes to spoil the hull.

Specifications:

  • 1:1400 scale
  • 18″ long
  • 5 pieces: saucer, drive section, captain’s yacht “Calypso”, and two display stands
  • magnetic stands and component docking

Though the series only lasted four seasons, the ships designer proposed this refit as a possibility for the cancelled season five. The refit includes a secondary hull that contains a larger warp core and deflector dish, and suggests an evolution in design towards the Constitution-class starships of the original series.

This particular model won a build contest at All Scale Trek.
