1/14th ENTERPRISE Bridge Model.

 Hi...I've completed the building of my 1/14th Bridge Model. The model isn't the most accurate though it'll do for my display. I decided to only make a partial Bridge so that it could fit easily into my Display Cabinet.

I've enjoyed building the model and well pleased with the result.
Stay well my Friends.
Cheers. KEV.

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.

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.

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.

STAR TREK- Klingon Cruiser Model.

Some while back I assembled and painted a KLINGON Cruiser. I cannot recall the manufacturer of the kit- it may be Revel or perhaps a Monogram. The Cruiser is comparable in size to the 18inch ENTERPRISE model which I'll soon have here for display.

The KLINGON Cruiser.

That is my news today- Best Wishes. KEV.

STAR TREK- Classic Toy Figure Set.

 Hi...I've ordered from the US a Classic Star Trek Figure set made by Playmates. The set should take some time to arrive from the US. I really like these Playmates figures which I've had before. The set depicts the crew of Captain James T. Kirk - all from the original 1966 Star Trek.


That is my news for today- stay well Friends- Cheers. KEV.

STAR TREK - Enterprise NCC-1701 Model.

 Hi...I've ordered a STAR TREK model- the ENTERPRISE NCC-1701. My liking for Star Trek goes back to 1966- though we didn't have a TV then so I had to wait till the mid 1970s to watch the TV Episodes in Black and White. I've bought the model with the view to have a small display in my Study Cabinet.





Stay well my Friends. Cheers. KEV.
