Tobias Richter’s 1/448 (104cm / ~41 Inch!) Excelsior Class Starship – USS Lexington

Originally shown here on Modeler Magic back on February 2, 2009…. this nearly 41 inch Excelsior Class Starship Miniature was built by artist Tobias Richter of The Light Works for his own Collection. As stated by Tobias… this kit was a real pain to build, and he felt it may be a possible re-cast. He states that the parts were off in nearly every dimension, and that to make this model as it should be, it would have taken much scratch work which he simply did not wish to take on. Thus he made this model the best he could with much sanding involved. Never the less… at almost 41 inches… this remains the largest kit I have seen built of the Excelsior Class. I am very interested in where that kit emerged from myself. Tobias chose to name it USS Lexington...

Alfred Wong’s 1/144 (~34cm / ~13.5 Inch!) ALIEN Resurrection BETTY in the Tobias Richter Collection

Purchased off eBay years ago, this Alien Resurrection Betty was built by artist Alfred Wong from his own patterned kit! Artist Tobias Richter did not have the immediate funds available to purchase this fine kit when it was originally offered by Alfred, so when he saw this build on eBay from Alfred Wong himself… he bought it as fast as he could! I would have done the same as this piece is magnificent by artist Alfred Wong!

1:320 D7 Klingon Cruiser built by Tobias Richter

Originally shown here on January 31, 2009… I thought this build worth showing again…

Built from a kit, Tobias Richter of The Light Works did amazing work in replicating the Studio Model.

Here is what Tobias had to say…

The Klingons are probably one the most well known Alien race in modern Science Fiction. And the D7 cruiser is their most successful ship design – the basic lines stayed unchanged for decades, with the latest incarnation as chancellor Gorkons ship “Kronos” in “Star Trek IV – The undiscovered country”, the last movie to feature the complete classic cast with Kirk. Spock, Bones and the gang. I spotted this monster a few years ago on Ebay – it claimed to be a casting made from the original studio model. Obviously it is pretty similar to the new studioscale kit Captain Cardbo...

Tobias Richter’s – LARGE DeBoer Patterned – Starship Reliant built by Tim Ketzer

First shown here back on January 27, 2009, this fantastic piece deserved a bump to the front of the Gallery.

Built from the large scale DeBoer kit, and in scale with the 1701-A model, Master Modeler Tim Ketzer again proves his worth to the modeling community. This highly complex build is well deserving of praise. Again, owned and in the fantastic collection of Tobias Richter, of The Light Works, this piece adds the “Adversary” effect to an already excellent display.

KIT ALERT!! HUGE! DeBoer RELIANT NCC-1864 “Northstar” KIT

KIT ALERT!

STAR TREK

The Wrath of Khan

NCC-1864 RELIANT

DeBoer Hulls “NorthStar” Kit

I was recently contacted by artist Scott Boon, whom informed me that communications have been opened between his client and Dennis DeBoer about possibly re-tooling, then releasing the giant Reliant “NorthStar” kit once again. This is a large kit in scale with the massive DeBoer 46 Inch Enterprise Refit! Below is the email from Dennis DeBoer stating conditions.

I found the RELIANT plugs to make new molds. If 5 people come forward that want a Reliant model kit, I would make new fresh molds. I would need $500.00 down from each from each person to start the remolding. This money would not be refundable, as once I start the rebuild, both the buyers and myself would be committed to this new model...

Star Trek II – The Wrath of Khan – New Poster by Robin Clifford

I love this artist’s works! Once again Rob has come to us with a fantastic piece for a poster featuring The Wrath of Khan! The actual Reliant you see on the poster was utilized from the Tobias Richter photos of the DeBoer Reliant he had built for his own collection by famed artist Tim Ketzer! Absolutely beautiful!

“Facing Destiny” – Composite Art by Kurt Kuhn (Kuhn Global)


Slowly regaining his senses… as consciousness takes hold, the Master Jedi begins to hear again the blasts and crackling of the fire about him. Now fully coming around from getting knocked out by the pillar that collapsed on him after a laser bolt hit it, he realizes he is in great pain. Both his legs, and several ribs broken he hears the coming stomps of troops and machinery entering the Temple… as well as the heavy anti-grav engines from what he now saw to be a huge, new type of Destroyer hanging close to the ground a few miles from the Temple’s court. And yet… he felt no life as he attempted to visually scan the area for his fellow Jedi… only to find layers of bodies of people he grew to know as family over his years of training. Even the Younglings were not spared...

Studio Scale ESB Cloud Car by Tobias Richter

Master artist Tobias Richter, of well known site The Light Works, has done it again with this fantastic build from a rather difficult, and rare kit patterned and made by Tobias Rubom. I know the fit of this kit was most challenged because I am a proud owner of one myself and know what it took to make it beautiful. Mr. Richter certainly showed us his skills in doing so. Another beautiful piece from master and professional artist Tobias Richter!
