“The Battle of Scarif” from Rogue One A Star Wars Story Build

Using two complete Zeveda 1/2700 Star Destroyer kits, I wanted to duplicate the scene of the two Star Destroyers being pushed into each other by a Hammerhead Corvette. The windows are lit with fiber optics powered by 12 volt LEDs. The fire effects are powered by 12 volt flickering LEDs and are placed under the fiberfill “smoke” between the two ships. The engines of the one Star Destroyer also utilize flickering LEDs.

The build will be featured in the January issue of Fine Scale Modeler magazine.

The completed “Star Trek Federation Work Shuttle” project. Started in October of 2020, it’s been quite a ride. A most challenging but fun project. It started out with an idea in January of 2020, started in Oct and completed today, April 21, 2021.

Scratch built the classic way with sheet styrene, acrylic and kit greeblies. Lighting consists of LED engine lights, front light, underbelly lights, flashing marker lights and fiber optics in the cockpit powered by mini LEDs.

The power source for the ship is a 9 volt power supply running the ships 12 volt LEDs. The cockpit instrument fiber optics are lit by 3 volt LEDs using a LM 2596 step down module to convert the 9 volts down to 3 volts...

One of my current projects is a 1/20 scale Star Trek Federation Starbase Work Shuttle. This is my own design that was started last October 2020. It has been a challenge but totally fun project that I’m hoping will be finished in a few months. It’s going to be used as part of a diorama which will include ground equipment and a all female crew! I had found the perfect figures to go with the base. These photos are more recent as I’ve been documenting the build throughout. At the moment I have over 800 photos with more to come.
Maybe I’ll do a how to book on the complete build.

Another finished build. This one is a 1:1 Scale resin prop of Captain Mal’s pistol from Firefly. I picked this one up at Wonderfest last year and I finally had to build it. The resin kit wasn’t very accurate so I did my best to make the pistol more true to the TV prop. The biggest ob was to cut off the rear “wood” handle and make a new one out of pine. This was then stained and coated with a clear coat of urethane. The paint was done with Tamiya Acrylics and i found this to be the most enjoyable part of the build. I also made my own custom wood and acrylic stand with art from the show added to the base.

Here is another finished model from the Pandemic workshop.

This is a design I had done in the 80’s and I built the MK 1 version then. Fast forward to 2020. I wanted to build a MK 2 version with a full cockpit and added details. This one was also enhanced with a runway style base I made with sheet styrene and I even scratch built a boarding ladder for the pilot.

During the pandemic I’ve making the best use of my time and building! This is one of the kits that I got done. It’s a resin kit I picked up from Monsters in Motion a few years back and it was a challenge to build but the result came out great. It’s not 100% accurate to the ship in the show but it still makes a nice display piece. The Hawk Starfighter from the Buck Rogers TV series!

Thanks,

This is my version of the Federation Models Star Trek Work Bee from The Motion Picture. The Bee is the basic kit from Federation but the sled is my own scratch built addition . There is no interior but I made my own windows out of 1/16” thick black acrylic. The model is painted with Tamiya Lacquer paint and subtle weathering was added as I wanted to keep the look of the model used but not abused.

This is a 99% scratch built model of my own design. I was fascinated by the Steampunk genre and wanted to build my own version of a Victorian style flying machine. After making a sketch of the side and rear view I started working on the build. I decided to make it “N” Scale so I would have access to various ship building parts that were readily available. The main hull was vacuum formed from a RENSHAPE master I carved in halves as I wanted to add a beefy center spar to the hull. The only kit parts that were used in this build were the two “lift” tanks taken from two Monogram Mack tanker trucks and the three rotary engines which were Roden Gnome Monosoupape 9B kits.

This build was done over a 6 year period when I could find the time to work on it. A totally enjoyable project.

This is a diorama I completed using the Hasbro toy speeder and Rey figure. The speeder was completely taken apart and reconstructed into a contest quality model. (This will be shown at 2017 JerseyFest in September).

It includes two scratch built “Moisture Vaporators” that I wanted to add to the diorama. It has engine and cockpit instrument lighting as well as a accurized and repainted Rey figure to make it look less toy like.

A very enjoyable project.
