This diorama is one I have not seen done before today! The face off between Cdr. Kruge’s BOP and the empty Enterprise above the Genesis planet! Still beautiful after her encounter with Khan and Reliant, she sets with her sides and saucer patched with welded plating! This piece even has laser for phaser effects! Outstanding! Or.. in the words of the younger generation… “This thing is SICK!”
This is my Star Trek III display scene for the Wayne Middleton Collection, featuring the standoff scene just before the Enterprise was set for self destruct.
The brief was simple, make it look beat to shit and not like a shiny piece of plastic. I think I managed to achieve this, with all constant airbrushing of flat white over the many layers of aztecs and decals.
The weathering adds a nice touch and she certainly looks beat up! The hull was filled and sanded smooth,as per the film and pencil lines were added to the hull and nacelle pylons, there is some burned in damage and repair patched added too.
Has taken 9 months from start to finish and has been a very enjoyable project, hopefully capturing the scene with my interpretation of it.
