Love this alternate engine design, I really enjoy the retro design lines Doug and Bill bring to these designs! :-)

One of the prides of my collection, my USS Defiant MSD poster, signed by almost all of the original Star Trek Art Department! (Still need to meet Andy Probert!)

One of my Lego Ferrari, I think this is one of my favorite small Lego kits, it really was a joy to make!

Your take on a modified refit NX class could be great to see!

There really are great looking ships! I wonder if ordering a new batch might be a good idea in 5 years or so as the Batch 1's start to show their age. They seem like great a solid platform, so no need to redesign them, perhaps fitted with 40mm Bofors like the Tyle 31?

The current modeling project on my workbench right now, The HMS Westminster (1/350 Trumpeter kit). Lots of modifications in the works for this one, stay tuned for updates! Always open to feedback and tips!

Still have my ultimate collectors box! Love the idea of making newer ships in the same size πŸ™‚πŸ––

Totally agree, I do have a Lost Era Star Trek design I'm working on, I really need to finish it and get it out there, is comparable to the Nova class in size. This 'Bigger=Better' fad in sci-fi these days is getting a little tiresome.

Throwback to my time in the Royal Navy. My 3D model of the Type 23 Frigate, HMS Westminster, built in 3DSMax. I had the privilege of serving as a Marine Engineer on her over 25 years ago! Time flies!

The Odyssey-class starship MSD I created for #StarTrekOnline to coincide with the appearance of the #EnterpriseF in #StarTrekPicard Season 3! At over 1090m long, this was a challenge to design, but worth it! πŸ”₯ What do you think of the ship’s design? #StarTrek #StarshipDesign #OdysseyClass #SciFi

A comparison of the MSD from the TV show, along with my version to show some of the items that were added to the ship during the show (such as the shuttle bay).

The USS Defiant MSD I made for Star Trek Online. I referenced photos of the studio model for the correct outline and used the set blueprints to ensure accurate room dimensions. The ship is scaled at 110m.

I built this Battlestar Galactica model a few years ago and it's still one of my favorite projects! It took a little time and patience to weather, but the final paint job made it totally worth it. Always proud to show it off! So Say We All!

You'd think a simple Tri-Corder scan would be able to tell if someone was a person, or a robot control buy a little guy in a miniature spaceship. (I can't believe this is now a thing in Star Trek...).

Also, wasn't 'Control' Destroyed in ST: Discovery? Or is it just a person now instead?

USS Excelsior #MSD I created a few years back, based on the Enterprise-B MSD from #StarTrek Generations. To match the exterior windows, I scaled it up from 467m to 620m. Created in Adobe Illustrator.

I watched Section 31 the other day, great production value and VFX, a pretty generic Sci-Fi film to be honest. Not watched any Star Trek this week though... πŸ˜…

Curious how HMS Defenders updated missile silo looks once the scaffolding comes down!

I'm wondering if she or the other type 45's are being prepped for NSM as well.

As soon as those scenes appeared I was looking all over the fleet to see any designers we'd know and this one immediately sprung out! I suspected you'd spot it instantly as well πŸ˜…

I built this 1/72 F-16 Fighting Falcon a few years ago, using only the paints, brushes, and glue that came in the kitβ€”no fancy tools needed! Took a couple of days, but the results were worth it. Love the color scheme on this one! #ModelMaking #F16FightingFalcon #ScaleModels

She's looking incredible, you've really nailed the TOS Aesthetic whilst modernizing it with your ship designs, I love them so much! πŸ™‚πŸ––

She's a great looking ship! I really like that is has lot's of new features not really seen on ships before (like the shuttle lifts on the top of the rear saucer).

Always loved the colours and styling of this ship, Curious how it would look with slightly modified Enterprise-G Nacelles (To match the proportions). :-)

Inspired by Adam Savage's 1-Day Builds, here's my 1:6 Cylon model from #BattlestarGalactica that I built a few years ago. It was a blast to just dive in and have fun without worrying too much about the details. Sometimes it’s all about the process! #ModelMaking #Cylon #OneDayBuild

Recreation of the Galaxy class MSD from #startrek. The colors are slightly modified versions of the original colors to simulate the effect of being backlit though the black plexiglass they used on the show.

The panels underneath were actually the Helm and Conn LCARS with a few changes!

Sayer class Starship panels. I Created these panels for Sam Cockings over at Trekyards a few years ago for his own Sayer class starship. An awesome little ship design, and I love the TOS Era movie LCARS!

Not defending them, but apparently the official pages of the president get renamed each term, so you may of been following Biden, but the account got renamed when Trump took office, hence why you could be following him.

That said, Twitters top recommendation of people I should follow is Trump... 😐

Recently finished some of my model kits from the stash. These are all 1:72 scale. Pretty happy with how they turned out!
