DeBoers Star Trek Enterprise 1701-A 4 footer

[fuzznoggin]

This is the DeBoer Enterprise kit.   Fiberglass Resin composite kit.  Plenty of scratch building done to this one which includes the lounges, shuttle bay, and lighting which included strobes, photon torpedoes, thrusters, etc.   This was a very time consuming build, taking almost 2 years to complete.   Airbrushed in Model Master Acrylics.  Aztek patterning done via templates.  The electronics : a keypad for effects connected to a 12volt-14amp power source on a motherboard in the base.  Custom Lexan display base with laser cut dedication plaque and deflector shield control display - just like in the movie.  No, I no longer have this beast.  It was sold in 2008.   Never again.











A delightful mess of Bondo, spaghetti and wet sanding

The templates were from Aztek Dummy purchased thru Federation Models and that was around 2007.  Hard to say if AD is still producing them.  The kit isn’t that popular due to it’s cost and it does suffer with accuracy in areas.

WOW! Just wow!

A gorgeous build of the absolute best looking fictional starship ever. The base is mind-blowingly cool. I know “mind-blowingly” is not an actual word, but for your build, it is.

Fantastic work. Everyone who works on one of these kits says the same when finished, "Never again".
