A couple oldie kits...

Post by BlackSheep214 »

Star Trek USS Enterprise Bridge - Declan! Are you paying attention?! You know you want this! LOL!

Definitely a future purchase for me. I’ve already added them to my watch list. :lashed:

The Enterprise bridge is tempting… :hmm:

Nice stuff! I like a lot of that, but won't be able to afford it anytime soon.

On the second page of the first link there's an IDF tank crew form the Yom Kippur War for you Carlos!

The only things I see that I would most want is the BTR-50, the helicopter and the rescue boat.

Thanks Mark. I had seen those 1973 IDF tankers before. Honestly, I really don’t care for the poses of that set. They don’t really work for any of my projects. I wish that they were in more mundane poses.

The DB-26B with drones is interesting as is the Airbus, maybe the BUFF but man those three would eat some shelf space. :giggles:
Thanks,

The bridge does look tempting...

They finally attached a scale to the Enterprise bridge. 1/32. Can you imagine the entire ship in that scale? The 11 foot filming model was somewhere around 1/72 to 1/87. The "real" ship was 947 feet long.

I (poorly) built that Enterprise bridge kit as a youth, perhaps it's a redemption project now as an adult...

Don't worry about that, someone out there will make one XD.
Personally I'd love to have a 1/72 Enterprise to go with some 1/72 aircraft.
I would want to mod the bridge set to be the refit version.
