X-65 Class Prototype Attack Vessel

I did a quick share of this ship back when I re-wrote my Eaglemoss vs. The World Article on the Klingon Bird Of Prey.  I had intended to do a full write up about it, but the project got forgotten until now.

I have always wondered what a ship like this would look like. When the Star Trek Modelers Group on FaceBook decided to have a Star Trek/Star Wars crossover contest, it seemed to be the perfect time to give it a try since she would be very X-Wing like in appearance. The class name is in fact taken from the T-65 name for the X-Wing.

I now present to you my Klingon X-65 Class Prototype attack ship.

A while ago, the Star Trek Modelers Group page on Facebook held a build contest where the contestants had to build a ring ship.  This was one of my entries.

I had challenged myself to not only build a ring ship, but to cobble together parts from two different sci-fi genres.

My next share is one of my ring ship kitbashes.

This model was a grand little experiment in making a ring ship out of a non-model part.

3D Print Kit Review: Tactical Game Systems 1:2500 MCS-7 Class Destroyer

This will be my first official review of a 3D printed kit.  As is always the case when I write my reviews of a kit, I had some long conversations with the designer.  As a result, I came back with a TON of behind the scenes information.  In fact, there was so much that I decided to write a sister article to this one about the designing the actual model.  You can read that interview by following THIS LINK.

To start off this new type of review, we will first focus on the 1:2500 scale MCS-7 Class Destroyer from Tactical Game Systems.

Dave who owns and operates T.G.S. asked me to point out that the model I'm working with is a PROTOTYPE.  So please keep that in mind when reading my review.

CD7 Class & CD7 Class Refit Battleship

The CD7 Class Battleship is NOT my design, however, I did ask permission to build her.  I took the original build a step further by constructing a TMP era version of the ship as well.  I was then asked by the original designer to help co-write a back story for her.

The CD7 class is based in the Mirror Universe and was originally conceived by Martin Shepherd over at the Star Trek Modelers Group page on Facebook.

Borodino Class

What happens when you try to cross your two favorite Sci-Fi universes together?  This little project,  The Borodino Class Battle Carrier is a cross-over of Star Trek with Space Battleship Yamato.

This project started life as a regular Space Battleship Yamato build that had seen better days.  I have always wanted to crossbreed the two genre and this model seemed to be a great candidate for the project.

SeaQuest Class

During my early days of kitbashing, I started to challenge myself.  Some of those challenges involved merging two different sci-fi genres together.  In some cases, they looked great.  In other cases, I had to get creative with the back-story in order to justify the ship's unique looks.

This model was one of those more challenging builds.

Resin Kit Review: SciFi4Real 1:2500 Phase II Refit Nacelles

This is going to be a bit of a different kind of kit review.  This particular review won't be about an entire model, but rather about parts that can make it MUCH easier to build a certain type of ship that never made it to the screen.

Editor's Note: I have sadly confirmed with the garage kit maker that at the time of this article's re-writing (March 3rd, 2018), that he is no longer producing this item.
