Yesterday I put a few finishing touches on the enterprise and removed it from the “to do” list on our kitchen wall.
I started in on the refit of the K-7 Space Station from the original Star Trek series. I built this years ago for myself but my friend Glen gave me two kits when he was here in April and hoped I could have them done by the 24th of this month.
The enterprise took longer than I had thought to complete and that’s when it struck me I could renew my build and give it new life and lighting. I’m using a VooDoofx board with blinking strobes and colored NAV lights.
The base is a custom that I made from scratch. I will have this finished by tomorrow.
This then clears my to do list and for the first time in weeks frees me up to get back to the Laser cutter. I’ll be designing and making interesting model kits with it of all kinds. Also useful products. I’m looking forward to it.
I also plan to start another classic monster sculpture. More on that later.
