My 1:350 TOS Enterprise

#1 Post by JOHN ROBINSON »

Here are videos of my 1:350 Polar Lights Original series Enterprise. The model was painted via air brush, custom mixed Tamiya, Vallejo and Model Master paints. I used my library of reference material as well as Gary Kerr's color recommendations. I also called and spoke to Gary on how to make it more accurate. I wanted the engine lighting as close to the original 11' Filming miniature as possible in this scale. It also had to be "in scale" with the model and not overly bright.

I hope you guys enjoy them!
Highest Regards,
Mark Myers

Well THAT is simply amazing!

Love the "side by side" in the 1st video . . . really shows the quality job you did on the engines, but how on earth (reverse pun not intended) did you create that 2nd video ?!?!?

Thank you very much indeed!

So, I like to present my work in a different manner. Instead sitting behind a desk pontificating about how I like or how one should build a model, I kit my work doing it's thing. My SPFX stuff is done basically the same way the original Talented Artists did it. The ships were filmed in front of a blue screen and the planets, stars etc were added after. Glad you enjoy my work!

Beautiful work all the way round.

And the youth, mistook by me,
Pleading for a lover's fee.
