Round 2 – Deep Space 9 (DS9) by Wayne Minney

January 28, 2019 Posted in Round 2 Models, Star Trek Selections, Wayne Minney

I was commissioned by a collector in Germany to build a new Deep Space Nine space station model to replace the current one being displayed in his private Star Trek museum. This new version was to be fully lighted, including flood lighting on the docking pylons, lit cabin windows, flashing anti-collision markers and a pulsating reactor core.

The kit used was the Round 2 clear re-issue, which presented plenty of challenges and fit issues to contend with. The model was further detailed with subtle colored paneling, pencil lines and then weathered using the 1st season opening credits sequence as main reference. The finer panel detailing is so subtle that it is barely visible in most of the photographs, but really helps to sell the scale when viewed in person.

In total, the build took roughly 250+ hours to complete
