I am definitely making slow slow progress on this TMP Phaser. Definitely slow, but it's better than it used to be before I did the things that thinged it to where it is now. #startrek #startrekprop #startrekthemotionpicture #startrekphaser #propreplica

Sorry I haven't had much work time this last month. I am pecking at things when I have the chance, working on an SNW Comm along with a few other items and backlog items at the moment.

Unfortunately haven't had much modeling or proping time this week, even had to go in to work for a bit today, but when I returned I wanted to get back to last week's low effort/low risk project, this @officialairfix 1/72 Bf109E-4.

After getting all those Tricorders out of here, I wanted to crack into a low effort low risk item, and after being propagandized by watching someone's YouTube video build on a Bf109E model, I cracked into this @officialairfix 1/72 kit.

And finally the group all together. I'm glad they are finished. I think will miss that Mk VII Medical the most, I that was one of the best examples of that type I ever made. #startrek #startrekprop #startrektng #Tricorder #starfleet

Finishing up a Hero Nemesis Mk XI Tricorder! #startrek #startrekprop #startreknemesis #Tricorder #starfleet

Wrapping up a Hero Season 7 Voyager Mk X Medical Tricorder with hand scanner! #startrek #startrekprop #startrekvoyager #Tricorder #starfleet

Finally completing a Hero TNG Mk VII Medical Tricorder with Hypospray. #startrek #startrekprop #startrektng #Tricorder #starfleet

Finishing up a Hero TNG Mk VI Season 3 Science/Medical Tricorder with Hypospray. #startrek #startrekprop #startrektng #Tricorder #starfleet

Wrapping up a Hero TNG Season 1 and 3 Mk VI Science/Medical Tricorder. The client requested both versions of the removable medical attachment. #startrek #startrekprop #startrektng #Tricorder #starfleet

Finally finished this "Long Grip Larry" aka DS9 S4 (I think) and on Hypo with the grip that goes all the way to the bottom. #startrek #startrekprop #hypospray #starfleet #startrekds9

Some final pics of the Matchbox 1/72 Vickers Wellesley. There are a few things I could have done better, but overall I'm fairly happy with it. A great little vintage kit!! #matchboxmodels #vickerswellesley #72scale #aircraftmodel #scalemodeling

And finally wrapping all these guys up! I'll take some nice photo booth pictures tomorrow. #startrek #startrekprop #Tricorder #startrekvoyager #startrektng

I think I can call the Matchbox 1/72 Vickers Wellesley Mk.I complete! I just decided to push through it this afternoon. I'll take some better photo booth pics tomorrow.

Well, wish me luck on these nearly 50 year old Matchbox decals. This first one seemed to go on pretty well. Following the advice from a YouTube video where someone built this same kit, I've made sure to pin down the decals when wetting them to avoid cracking.

Woo! Managed to finish the electronics and panel installation! Now a few scanner and hypospray things to take care of and this group will be complete and ready to go!

Almost near the finish line, but ran out of time tonight unfortunately. Hopefully I can get these finished up tomorrow or this weekend!! #startrek #startrekprop #propreplica #Tricorder #startrektng

Hmmmmm, well it came out a little jagged. Not sure what to do. Like I'm fine with the shapes, its just the edges are more jagged than I would like, so I don't know if I should redo it or just go with it. #matchboxmodels #vickerswellesley #72scale #aircraftmodel #scalemodeling

Got the RAF Earth down on the 1/72 Matchbox Vickers Wellesley along with a little fading. Letting that cure, then on to masking. I think I will use Liquid Mask, but I might also use @akinteractive.official Masking Putty for the camp pattern. #matchboxmodels #vickerswellesley #72scale #aircraftmodel

Cracked into all variety of projects today, one of them being the 1/48 @officialairfix P-40 from the previous post. Got the cockpit painted and together, although I should have gotten rid of of those ejector pin marks and

It was a day of Airplanes. We got to @wingsmuseum Exploration of Flight at Centennial Airport just in time to miss most of the stuff, but there were still a few cool characters getting ready to head out.

A cool antique store find tonight! #airplanemodels #hobbycraftmodels #f7ucutlass #48scale #scalemodel

Made a Senna Tak badge 3d file a while ago, finally got around to printing one out. This one I just did in classic Combadge colors, but I'll do a more appropriate chromy one as well. #startrek #startrekprop #startrekdiscovery #combadge #3dprint

Just finished up some custom combadges for someone. #startrek #startrekprop #prop #propreplica #combadge

Made some good progress on the Vickers Wellesley!

Well, I missed it by two minutes in my timezone, so here's my low effort Happy First Contact Day post. #startrek #firstcontactday #startrekfirstcontact #zephramcochrane #april52063

Almost finished with this Nemesis Mk XI Tricorder, still a few details and things to finish off. #startrek #startrekprop #prop #propreplica #Tricorder

Fortunately it was a small haul this model show. I waited specifically a while before buying anything of my selects as maybe they would be purchased so I wouldn't have to. But, I did get some fun stuff right at the end. I've really wanted a Vickers Wellesley after seeing a fantastic build on YouTube

Well that was a fantastic show! Made some cool new friends and got to see my classic model show friends too! Bought, fortunately, only a few things, I'll post those later.

Got my stuff in the show! #commiesfest2026 I think I'll skip the live stream this year. It will be well covered by a lot of folks! There are SO MANY AMAZING models here. I'll post some of my favorites later in the day! #modelshow #commiesfest #airplanemodels #starshipmodel

Well, unfortunately after all that, it turned into a ship with many model show flaws. But I wasted Thursday and Friday working on it, so I had better have finished something for that time that could have been better spent on many other things. Oh well.

When nearly every day the world is a joke, I feel deprived of the ability to make one for April Fools. Unrelated, I wasn't looking forward to this portion of the activity.

I was only there for a few minutes so all the pics are lousy, but the new Tbirds F-16D at the @wingsmuseum is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! I hope I'll get to 3d model something for it in the future as it gets preserved! Definitely get down there and check it out! #wingsovertherockies #thunderbirds #f16

I have absolutely no idea what I am doing or why, but here are the results of that so far. #startrek #startrekmodel #starship #starshipmodel #startrekTNG

Well, it's blue, I got that far at least. #48in48 #modelsforheros #f8f #blueangels #scalemodeling

Progress halfway through the #48in48. #modelsforheros #modelbuilding #scalemodeling #f8f

Going to attempt the #48in48 from @models_for_heroes this weekend! We will see how this goes. #modelsforheros #modelbuilding #scalemodeling #f8f

I thought I was done with decals, but remembered I need to do the windows around the silver rim of the saucer. Then just a couple of fixes and touch ups and it will be ready for a clear coat. #startrek #startrekmodel #ussexcelsior #modelmaker #scalemodeling

Almost finished with all of these. Just have to figure out an audio issue on the final Mk VI and do a couple of scanners, including this Mk X Medical's and this final group of Tricorders will be complete! #startrek #startrekprop #prop #propreplica #startrekvoyager

And one more for tonight. #startrek #startrekprop #prop #propreplica #startrektng

Tricorder progress continues. #startrek #startrekprop #prop #propreplica #startrektng

1.7 down, 2.3 to go. Still have to do a scanner for the Mk VII as well as the medical head and scanner for the Mk VI, then two more complete Tricorders. Those, unfortunately, will pretty much be the last ones I am ever able to do, unless someone does new electronics or already has purchased them.

Making some more progress. #startrek #startrekprop #Tricorder #propreplica #startrektng

A bag of "magic beans" could do a better job as president than this stupid fungal fucker Donald Jay Trunt.

Well, going to the antique store after pay day is a bad decision on my part. I should have just said "no, we don't have to go up there" and gone to a different place. But we did and here I came back with a haul.

Made some progress with this rather unique Sabre. #aircraft #72scale #aircraftmodel #airlinermodels #f86

It was a busy weekend, still a lot more work to do, but put a bit of a dent in it! #startrek #startrekprop #propreplica #Tricorder #startrektng

Working on a cool Sternbach concept device. #startrek #startrekprop #3dprint #propreplica #ricksternbach

Sometimes the Replicator needs maintenance. #startrek #startrekprop #Tricorder #propreplica #startrekuniverse

Not finished, but I did make a lot of progress on the NX Excelsior today. Hopefully I'll finish up the decals this week though. #startrek #startrekmodel #ussexcelsior #starship #scalemodeling
