Also made some progress on a very old PR XIX Spitfire I started a long time ago and the Supermarine Swift.

Oh boy, decaling this stupid thing took all fraking day, and there's still a few to go. I thought I could just blow it out and be done so I could sit back and enjoy, but not quite.

Sorry nothing too exciting has been going on, work and other activities have been taking over modeling/propping time.

Happy Halloween everyone!! I hope you have a great one!! I figured in the spirit of the season, my desk model needs to reflect that, so the Shadows have returned to the Z'ha'desk. One of the greatest television shows of all time. #Babylon5 #happyhalloween🎃

We had a pop by the antique mall tonight and of course, I found some goodies all for about $35. A $10 Tamiya 1/350 I-400 mint in box as well as a $15 Tamiya 1/72 NF Mosquito still in the wrapper, how could I say no to that.

Just for a test and fun, I printed out the Klingon Communicator file set I made a while back. I didn't print all the greebles and this is the static version, I also made up one with the LEDs from STIV.

Wrapping up this Hero Voyager "Endgame" Medical Tricorder! #startrek #startrekprop #prop #propreplica #propmaker #propmakers #propmakersofInstagram #scifi #startrekcollector #startrekcollection #space #allstartrek #startrekuniverse #starfleet #startrekvoyager #Tricorder

Wrapping up a hypothetical TNG-era "Cartographic Tricorder" based on a PADD with many variations including Q's PADD from Star Trek: Borg. Resin 3D printed.

Completing another wierd random prop, this Hugh Power interface box thing from TNG "I, Borg." Filament 3D printed. There will be a video in a few posts that will show the sequencing lights.

Finishing off a requested set with this DS9 style filament 3D printed ODN Scanner. #startrek #startrekprop #prop #propreplica #propmaker #propmakers #propmakersofInstagram #scifi #startrekcollector #startrekcollection #space #allstartrek #startrekuniverse

Finishing a filament 3D printed TNG Eye Scanner, 3D file by Buddahaid. #startrek #startrekprop #prop #propreplica #propmaker #propmakers #propmakersofInstagram #scifi #startrekcollector #startrekcollection #space #allstartrek #startrekuniverse

Finishing up a Star Trek First Contact Door Opener thing. It's hard to get pics of the lights sequencing so there will be a video a few post from this one.

Checking off some boxes this weekend. Here in a bit, I'll do nicer pics and videos of all the squared away items. #startrek #startrekprop #prop #propreplica #propmaker #propmakers #scifi #startrekcollector #startrekcollection #space #allstartrek #startrekuniverse #starfleet #startrektng #Tricorder

Finally got some lights in the made up "Cartographic Tricorder," based on a PADD prop seen throughout the TNG and up era in many different configurations. I thought it might work as a lower level or very specific function Tricorder, similar to Vash's.

Continuing to light up only the most random of props, here we have the Door Opening thing from First Contact, which shows up a few other places, at least once on DS9. I put magnets in the back, but I need to add some stronger ones as it doesn't quite hold on strong enough.

Finally got around to getting electronics in the TNG "I, Borg" Hugh Power Box thing. #startrek #startrekprop #prop #propreplica #propmaker #propmakers #propmakersofInstagram #scifi #startrekcollector #startrekcollection #space #allstartrek #startrekuniverse

Hopefully in the de-Coviding process, but here's some Excelsior(s) progress. Everything is much better with the @themodelwerkshop 3D print upgrades. #startrek #scifi #startrekcollector #startrekcollection #space #allstartrek #startrekuniverse

For some reason, being sick put me in an electronics mood, so I cracked into these guys, also because I recently finished the paint work, along with a few other items I hope to wrap up as well and some not yet pictured. There will of course be some proper photo booth pics when they are complete.

OK, we're going to do this the easy and also the hard way. #startrek #scifi #startrekcollector #startrekcollection #space #allstartrek #startrekuniverse #starfleet #startrektng #starship #starshipmodel

Some of the too many of planes in progress, at least one is a commission and another is potentially a gift, so it isn't all completely deranged. The Swift has liquid mask on it, that's why it looks wierd. The green came out OK, but the grey for some reason did poorly so I have to redo it.

Went by one of my favorite hobby stores @colparsaurora after a very nice afternoon and encountered a few goodies. After all the pining and whining about getting them to get all the #xscalemodels kits I certainly could not not pick up the new X-Scale United DC-8-61, pretty excited about that!

Time to switch out the work desk model! #modelmaking #modelmaker #modelbuilding #modelbuilder #scalemodel #scalemodeling #airfix #concorde #boac #aircraft #airplanemodels #airliner #airliners #airlinermodellers #airlinermodels #144scale

And for fun, the beginnings of the 707/135 support group here at the facility of Make Stuff, in the place called the Picture Stuff Area.

Oh boy, the Academy (ex-Minicraft) 1/144 E-3G is done, I don't like it, but it's done, so I do like that.

The adventure continues... #startrek #startrekprop #prop #propreplica #propmaker #propmakers #propmakersofInstagram #scifi #startrekcollector #startrekcollection #space #allstartrek #startrekuniverse #starfleet #startrekvoyager #Tricorder

Finishing up a Hero 3D Printed, with modifications, TWOK Phaser. This was a resin printed kit provided by the maker, ordered by a client, with the maker having the excellent file set available on Cults3D. Light functions only, no sound.

Completing a Hero DS9 Boomerang and Mk IX Medical Tricorder set! Most of the DS9 S4+ Medical Tricorders were the science type with a hand scanner in the back.

Ship of the Day, from the Tycho Starship Yards, the USS Illustrious NCC-1960. 1/1000 scale cast resin kit by UGH! Models.

Got to see the new AV-8B Harrier II Plus at @wingsmuseum this afternoon, it is amazing! I've never seen one in person before. I definitely recommend that you go see it as well, but here are a few pics and

Ship of the Day, the 2nd Pilot USS Enterprise. 1/1000 scale Polar Lights.

Ship of the Day, another Tycho Shipyard original, the USS Vanguard. 1/1000 scale cast resin kit by UGH! Models.

Yesterday, after a long week, I picked up the new(old) 1/108 @atlantiskits C-141A kit, originally an Aurora Models tooling from the 1960s. Not a bad kit for its age, although there are very few panel lines. Instead of scribing,

Another flashback commission build for Ship of the Day, the NSEA Protector from Galaxy Quest. 1/1400 Pegasus Models I really liked how this one turned out, especially with the pearlescent aztecing.

Ship of the Day, USS Aspen NCC-895, Tycho Shipyards Baker class. 1/1000 scale resin 3D print. #modelmaking #modelmaker #modelbuilder #startrek #scifi #startrekcollector #startrekcollection #space #allstartrek #startrekuniverse #starfleet #startrektos #starship #starshipmodel #modelstarship

Charlie Kirk was one of Donald Trump's butt plugs to hold in the tsunami of waste and now, thanks to meat processing technology, he still can be.

Ship of the Day, another flashback build to a fun and interesting commission that was a TOSified Refit. I miss doing stuff like this, mash-ups or stuff that's you don't see everyday. 1/1000 scale Polar Lights with mods.

That mentally challenged nasto forehead and gum guy with his wood paneling teeth is worm food, put it in the ground and move on.

I finally got myself a vacuformer that actually works and tried vacuforming a TNG badge, inspired by the opening version as seen in TNG "Brothers". I'll try to make the insides and the back as best I can, but it was really just to see if I could successfully vacuform something.

Almost finished with this 3D printed Hero, lights only, TWOK Phaser! #startrek #startrekprop #prop #propreplica #propmaker #propmakers #propmakersofInstagram #scifi #startrekcollector #startrekcollection #space #allstartrek #startrekuniverse #starfleet

Ship of the Day, Klingon D7 Battlecruiser in an early Phase II paint scheme, or allegedly, that's what I've read before, don't know if that's still the case, either way, don't care, don't give a captain's log. 1/1000 scale Polar Lights.

Prop of the Day, we're going with the Cage/Where No Man/Man Trap/What Are Little Girls Made Of Laser Pistol. This is in the Where No Man and beyond configuration. SD Studios kit, body cast from Greg Jein original. Built by Starchwreck Props.

Started a little bit of weathering on the Wolfpack ex-Platz 1/72 X-47B. A fun little kit ! #modelmaking #modelmaker #modelbuilding #modelbuilder #scalemodeling #scalemodel #aircraft #72scale #x47b #northropgrumman #wolfpackmodels #platzmodels

Ship of the Day is another throwback to a few years ago when I made my first Discoprise that ended up being a commission half way through. I look forward to testing my modern abilities on one of these again. 1/1000 scale Polar Lights.

Prop of the Day, Sisko's Bajoran Sailer PADD from DS9 "Explorers". 3D printed in PLA plastic with post processing. The hard part was doing the graphic, but I just realized I think there's more stuff to do on the back.
