The Shipyard is the home for all my Sci-Fi ships, from one-man fighters to first rate ships of the line.  Here you’ll find some truly ancient works, such as my old Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers kits, to my most recent efforts with Babylon 5.  More than any other section of my site, this shows my growth as a modeler over the last couple decades.

 

I currently have four major Babylon 5 projects:

Voyager

Monogram

Injection molded kit

This was the original Voyager release, not the corrected model.  No fancy decals, do detailed shuttle bay.  So, I am replacing details that weren’t molded correctly, and a real challenge, reversing the clear/opaque mistake on the main deflector.  Kit will also be lit.  I will probably replace many of the decals or add on to the ones not provided.

DS9 Runabout

AMT/Ertl

Injection molded kit

Complete.  Modified for lighting

DS9 Defiant

AMT/Ertl

Injection molded kit

Partially started.  Modifying for lighting.

Next Generation Enterprise

AMT/Ertl

Injection molded kit

I have three; one I am hoping to convert to the Dreadnaught seen in “All Good Things…”, the other as a regular Enterprise, a re-do of one I built as a kid.  The intent is to light the kit

Next Generation Klingon Cruiser

Injection molded kit

Featured in a 1997 Issue of Fine Scale Modeler and Famous Spaceships of Fact & Fantasy.  Massive fiber optic lighting project, destroyed during a move.
