Hope to be at Jaxcon and dont forget Model Palooza in October in Orlando. Then save the date, February 29th, 2020 for Flight 19's Modelfest 20 in Ft. Lauderdale :D

Cutting up a 1.350 Polar Lights Enterprise kit to make a Lynch Class light destroyer. My first attempt at lighting a kit as well, hope to have it ready for Wonderfest and then the Nats!

I have always wondered what kind of upfits or refits occurred before the Motion Picture Enterprise hit the big screen so I came up with my version of a "tweener" Kongo represents the time period between the Star Trek tv series and the Motion Picture Enterprise. Kongo has phaser bumps/turrets, a scratchbuilt torpedo pod on the connecting dorsal, the deflector has been recessed into the secondary hull, I painted/added the windows for the arboretum and gave the ship custom nacelle caps at both ends courtesy of JT Graphics. The ship was finished in a 4 color Aztec pattern to more closely resemble her big screen sister.

This is a scratchbuilt "Doomsday Machine" from the original Star Trek TV show episode with the same title. Build is made out of sheet styrene, blue tape, foam board, newspaper, gesso soaked toilet paper and the outerskin is plaster infused gauze (rigid wrap) Light source is a Gemmy holiday light projector I picked up at home depot illuminating translucent piece of plastic from a 3 ring binder. Painted with acrylics. Hope you enjoy! Doomsday 2.MOV Doomsday 2.MOV

hmm, having difficulty finding the SciFi topic area, will have to look harder

Glad to be here, lets get this party started!

This is a 537 scale kitbash I did last year. USS Akula is a Lynch Class Light Destroyer. Ship design is by Eric Kristiansen who has published several books on Federation ships and technology, most notably the Jackills Guide to Federation Ships. Akula has custom decals from Jbot, lower deflector dish from Federation Models, scratchbuilt connecting dorsal and a 4 color "Aztec" paint scheme using McKenzie water based taxidermy colors. I also put hatches for "life boats" on this build. I am currently working on Akula's sister ship, a 1.350 scale Lynch Class which I am making my first attempt at lighting ( so far so good! lol)

Hello IPMS! I am a member of Flight 19, Region 11 in South Florida. Have been building since I was 9 or so and like to build most everything but lean more towards SciFi and Star Trek in particular. Doomsday 2.MOV

Awesome show!!! My first trip to Jaxcon but not my last. Gil and his gang put on a fantastic show and the vendors were awesome as well. Lots of talent there!
