Whats On The Table?

I really can’t remember where I picked these up from, but after many years up in the Loft Full Of Lead, I have finally painted these Lascannon tripod platforms.

The weapon is magnetized as they are also for the GR-75 Transporter nose section.

Engineering Adept

I bought this model at last years Salute I think, I can’t remember who makes it, but it works well as a Servitor model at a control console.

Transporter Detail

The interior gubbins has been finished off, the screens have been added and it is just about finished. I think.

The bridge has three screens on the main wall, and looks quite good.

The back wall of the bridge has a famous nebula display…

The green screen displays are not brilliant, but taken overall, they will have to do.

The EVA suits came up very nice.

The rear part is the engineering section with some Star Trek screens.

The Med bay area with medical bed and medical screens.

I may add a few more lengths of wire as it looks quite good.

When the lights are on, the red tubes illuminate nicely.

Now I need to work on the landing pad for it.

Nearly Done

Some of the large transporter wall decor are separate resin bits, mostly from Ainsty and Antenocitis Workshop. These have been painted as individual components rather than trying to paint them glued into position.

I do like Antenocitis power junctions with the tinted plastic tube.

Next up are some Ainsty bits, a computer bank, a spacesuit (painted in 2001 colours), some oxygen/chemical tanks and a medical bed.

I have cheated a bit and used some printed screen images for monitors dotted around the ship. I still have two more do, but the finished screens have some displays from well known movies and tv.

The interior of the ship is nearly finished, I think.

I have to hope that some inking and the addtion of the wall components will bring it all together.

Slow Progress

Having time off work helps with old projects. After many months of being ignored, I am determined to finished the rather large transporter.

The exterior is pretty well finished.
I have been busy painting the interior details.

Some of which are difficult to get to.

What’s On The Table?

I have actually started the lower hull of the large transporter, but the weather is so nice, I have been spending more time in the garden drinking Gin and Tonic, or when not drinking Gin and Tonic, going out on the old Ducati.
But some progress is being made…just very slowly…

What’s On The Table?

The upper hull is about done.

The nose cone is removable and reveals…

…an embarkation point for models.

As you can see, I added a few rivets…

…and a missile launch module

The engines will get glued into a fixed position, when they rotate, the paint on the supporting arms gets scratched off as the engine body moves, a pain in the butt.

Looking good, time to start on the lower hull.

What’s On The Table?

It is big, grey and getting painted.

I have started with the upper hull and the engines, I wanted to do a multi grey pattern like the Enterprise D, well a bit like it anyway.

Whats On The Table?

The painting of the GR-75 transporter is proceeding slowly, it is actually very hard to hold in one hand when painting.

I have also built two towers with an interconnecting landing platform but the transporter looks a bit big for it. Of course I could always design a larger landing platform.

Grey and Gray

I will be painting most of the upper hull of the GR-75 Transporter a few colours, grey and gray. Well I actually have about four versions of grey and plan to paint all the panels in different greys. I have started on the nose section, so if it goes wrong, I can just respray that bit.
