There's no way that's official. It's a custom entry in a model contest more than likely. I'd LOVE to have one though!

THIS

This morning I needed a break from starships and submarines, SO, I broke out the Tamiya 1/350 USS Missouri! NOT actually starting this kit, but I knew from others build videos there were a couple of simple PE parts that went onto the walls of the superstructure with some PE doors so I delved in. I gotta say, this may be a 90s kit I think???... but maaaan I'm in heaven already just messing around with stuff. Also Tamiya's included PE isn't brass... it's silver and much MUCH harder to cut off the fret but also much MUCH more sturdy than the brass stuff, I kinda dig it. Anywhoo I went ahead and drilled out the portholes JIC I get a wild hair later to light this thing. Prob not but having the holes there looks better anyway.

LOVING THE OILS!!!

@pengbuzz / @MechTech - Thanks guys! I really wanted to make the USS Dallas from Hunt for Red October but that number wasn't one of the 3 options unfortunately. 😞

Thanks @Thom!

Hobby Boss 1/350 USS Los Angeles Class Attack Submarine finished up. Also a new toy to try out on larger upcoming projects!

Man I would buy the heck out of that from Arcadia in 1:60 OR Bandai Hi-Metal R!

Thanks guys! Much appreciated!

Titanic transport 100% successful! Nothing broken! Acrylic case arrived with blue base and looks great! Not cheap, but worth the money! She is now proudly displayed at my brother in law/father in laws printing shop as you walk in the door! 😎

Looks great to me! Bring it on! 😁

Speaking of packing VERY delicate models for a trip..... Titanic is going to it's new home this afternoon! Ignore my wife being silly as always.. 😜

@Chronocidal- uhhhgggg -- no, I haven't built the nacelles yet, but I'll make sure to check that now....thanks for the heads up. I swear, I can only dream that some day Bandai will make us new FROM SCRATCH proper Star Trek ships...NO one else has gotten it right so far to my knowledge on the older Enterprise kits..(that being said, I'm not sure about the new 1/350 kits, I hear those ARE nice, but waaaaaaay to BIG for me)

Enterpriseseses update pic.... Refit is primed but engineering section still needs seam work around the nacelle pylons. OG is proceeding to primer soon - ish, and the Bottany Bay has it's base coat on.

Sunday mornings fun with photoetch 4 sided box railings! OMG..... I almost gave up... LOL

I'll be shocked as s*it if it does!

@wm chengOhhhhh MAN does that bring back memories! THOSE extra decal sheets --- whooooo hooo! PARTY TIME! Hahahaha! @electric indigo is right, the kit decals are CRAP, watch out.

@wm cheng My 1/1000 scale mini fleet so far.... I'm gonna need a bigger desk at this rate... LOL 😂

Love it! Great job!

@wm cheng - I'll post a scale pic later on for you. @pengbuzz - NICE find! I've built that kit twice, and purchased the clear version TWICE. The first one I built as a kid in the late 80's. The 2nd I built in the early 00's and gave to a buddy of mine, (I don't know what he did with it), the first clear one went INTO A WALL in a rage of frustration about 10 years ago and shattered , the 2nd clear one waits for me in a dark closet with full aztec's (they GREY ones, NOT the Generations BLUE!) along with PE upgrades and lighting supplies. I don't feel like I'm there yet...LOOL! Someday maybe, however, I know I WILL sand off all the raised detail before I start this time around. I've watched a LOT of YT videos of the build which kinda helps. The only thing really holding me up is finding a 100% sure way of painting/scraping the windows for the light to come through, that's where the RAGE came from 10 years ago, by the time the primer and paint was thick enough to block the light form the outside, it was TOOOO thick to scrape off effectively.

Polar Lights 1/1000 NX-01 ENTERPRISE is ready to leave spacedock! I went off high res pics of the CG model. Full Aztecs top and bottom along with kit decals. Great little kit. Nothing bad to report really. Some putty and sanding on the engineering section on the back, but nothing crazy. If I had nothing but money and time I would build two more of them, one being the refit (which it does come with the parts for) and the other as the alternate universe ISS Enterprise, just to be able to use the crazy giant yellow lighting/sword decals on the top of the saucer! Enjoy the pics! Moving on to the A Refit, Voyager and the original Enterprise now!

That just keeps looking better and better!

This..... is what happens when you are up at 4:45AM and think you are going to get some quite time to yourself on a Saturday morning to do some microscopic PE parts...... something had other ideas... 🤔 🙄 😂

I'd say "Flight Suit Rick" was a bit heftier and then when he joined up to be a pilot, basic training stripped the baby fat off! Hahahaha

NO S*IT RIGHT?! WTF happened to Bandai and the SW model line???????
