I’ve been experimenting with black backgrounds for my completed photos—especially science fiction subjects. This is an original 1968 long box E with Federation Models resin upgraded to get close to the Cage Pilot version from the original series.

Make more models!

Nice!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: San Francisco Shipyards
Cool! I’ve done the vintage Star Trek Enterprise kit as a kid. I’d love to do another in vintage box kit, not the re-issued box art. Fond memories. I’ve done the vintage Klingon ship and Romulus kit as well.
I also done the Bridge kit back then but did build another a couple years back.
The only kit I never done was the shuttle kit… imagine that?! 
I do recall building a couple large scale Star Trek figures… Kirk and Spock. I don’t recall if there were other large scale figure kits in that series though.

Thanks, gents. Torben, I built a really big box yes and used video lights to control color temperature!

Magnificent photography Bruce! That black background really enhances those models well!
