This is another Commission Build. I started out Cleaning all of the parts using warm water and a few drops of dish detergent to remove any mold release. To make sure I had good adhesion for the primer cote, every thing was lightly scuffed wit a scotch bright pad. I used Vallejo acrylic primer thinned slightly and sprayed through the airbrush for a good base to start laying down paint. All of the lighting was installed prior to painting and I added light to the officers lounge windows on the neck of the ship and to the shuttle bay windows in the aft section. Aztec Dummy vinyl masks were used to create the tricolor green pattern which was airbrushed using Tamiya acrylic paints...

Artist Lou Dalmaso of AZTEK DUMMY shows us his final photos and Video of his amazing build of the old Custom Replicas kit. This piece is outstanding! OH! And lets NOT FORGET to peak around Lou’s fantastic collection room in these photos, shall we? I am drooling!

My big E build is nearing the end. After seeing Kurt Kuhn’s donation of his first completed TimeSlip Creations studio scale TMP Enterprise Refit (by Dan Grumeretz) up close and personal at the 2019 Escape Velocity Convention, I kicked into high gear on this Custom Replicas TOS 66 inch USS Enterprise build. It’s been (so far) a 10 week labor of love, and if I could go back and tell my 15 year old self that I’d have 6 foot Enterprise in my house, my young self would have thought I was nuts! Yet as you can see… I am almost done!

Thanks for looking, and happy modeling!

Here is a letter. I (Mike Makkreel) received by the Smithsonian by: Ariel O’Connor

Dear Mr. Makkreel,

My name is Ariel O’Connor and I am part of the conservation team for the Enterprise model. Please excuse my delay in responding to your message, and thank you for writing to us.

I’m quite interested in any original photos or film you have that show the Enterprise model! For the past few months, I’ve been studying and collecting original primary source material scans, and using them to track changes to the model during filming. If you have any digital scans you would be willing to share with us for research purposes, I would be most grateful...

This fantastic build (from the Crows Nest Model Kit “FOUND HERE“) is by the artist/kit maker known as Aztek Dummy… or better yet… Mr. Lou Dalmaso! Fantastic job Lou!!

Recently, I had the good fortune to be able to build both versions of the Planet of the Apes Icarus kits made by Drew Huffman over at Crow’s Nest Models

I think they turned out rather. Here is the link to Drew’s site for the kit!!

Here is another beautiful build by artist Lou Dalmaso! Built from the fantastic Moebius kit, this sure shows what quality is!

I miss Babylon 5. Still, these magnificent builds of the designs from that show bring me great memories of it. Artist Lou Dalmaso built this piece from the Alliance Model Kit… and what a beautiful job he did! I would love to see one of these built in great detail in the large 1:18 super scale. That and the B5 Starfury!

Artist Lou Dalmaso has done it again with another fantastic build of the Moebius kit to be a very realistic look of Ironman! I am always impressed with this artist’s work!

This fantastic WIP is by Lou Dalmaso from the Crows Nest Kit. He tells me the lighting is just being finalized for this piece and I am pleased to be able to show it today.

I love Viper builds… and artist Lou Dalmaso (Aztek Dummy) shows exactly how great they can look! This build being from the newly released Moebius Models kit, it is apparent that both Lou, and Moebius did this model justice! Fantastic work!
