The U.S.S. Enterprise.

 It has been since 1966 that Matt Jefferies designed the ENTERPRISE NCC- 1701. Even today the ship holds it's own being an iconic part of STAR TREK.


Stay well. Cheers. KEV.

U.S.S. ENTERPRISE - Bridge Model.

I purchased a 1/32nd model kit of the Enterprise Bridge. I'm hoping that the kit will help me to scale up the Bridge to 1/14th to suit the Playmates 5" Star Trek figures. I'll multiply the 1/32nd kit pieces by a Factor of 2.3 to bring it all to 1/14th scale. I intend to only build a partial model to be able to place the finished model into my Display Cabinet in my Study- Computer Room.

1/32nd Enterprise Bridge model completed.

The AMT Enterprise Bridge kit.

Many years ago I did build an entire 1/14th Bridge and rather foolishly sold it to a Friend.
Well- that is about it for this evening.
Best Wishes. KEV.

STAR TREK- Miniature Starship Battles.

I've conducted five star ship battles pitching the U.S.S. Enterprise against the Klingon Cruiser. The Enterprise had won all five games - with the Klingon Cruiser coming close by reducing the Enterprise Shields down to a very low level.

The two ships together for size.

Well- thanks for viewing. Stay Well. KEV.

BRITAINS Farm Toys.

Hi...I've decided to collect Britains Farm Toys once again. My first purchase however this time is not Britains - it is a 1/32nd VOLVO Tractor model made by YAXON.  

The VOLVO Tractor model is very nice and it is also rare and collectible.

I've purchased a packet of Britains Sheep- they are great toys for sure.

I've also purchased some Britains Cows.
I'm particularly interested in the Farmer figure- I intend to carve away the walking stick and add full length trousers with 'Green Stuff' and re-paint the figure.

I've purchased this Britains OAK Tree model.
I intend to make up a small Farm on my Study Cabinet shelf- must have trees.

Well- that is my news for Monday night.
Stay well Friends. KEV.

STAR TREK - Miniture StarShip Battles.

 Yesterday I had four star ship battles with the ENTERPRISE NCC-1701 and the Klingon Cruiser. The Enterprise has Phasers and Photon Torpedoes and the Klingon ship - blasters. The Enterprise won all four games using my second version of the rules I wrote.


The ships measure 4.5" long.

Best Wishes. KEV.

STAR TREK- Display of TOS Starships.

 Hi...Thought to show my Playmates ENTERPRISE NCC-1701 and Klingon ships. The Enterprise model is very nice and also features sound effects and lighting. Today I'll be having a Game with my smaller 4.5" ships-the Enterprise NCC-1701 versus the Klingon Cruiser. I wrote my own rules- we'll see how they go.



Well- that is my news for this evening- stay tuned for further STAR TREK updates. Cheers. KEV.
