Star Trek - The NEW old Generation

2009-07-15T08:54:00.004-05:00

Well, Paul and I caught Star Trek on it's premier! It was AWESOME! Let me see, I saw it with Paul, I saw it with my cousin, Bill and Michael (son), then saw it with a couple of fellow Knights. Yeah, it was very good. I have to say, for those naysayers, that the new actors did credit to the original actors.

Scotty was GREAT! "I like this ship, it's exciting!"

Traditions Continue

On December 7th, 1979, Paul H. Bartlett and I caught Star Trek, The Motion Picture at a little theatre in Norman, OK. That began a tradition of seeing Star Trek movies on Premier day which has only been broken Once!

Star Trek III - The Search for Spock, premiered with Paul and I in different cities so we did not get to catch that one on it's premier day together. We have, however, been able to catch the others on their premier and plan for this new movie as well.

Live Long and Prosper

Linda and I saw Quantum of Solace Friday night. Well, the new Star Trek preview was showing preceding the movie! WOW! I can't wait to get a hold of the new models for this movie! There would be the new Enterprise, Kelvin and shuttles! Any of the above would be SWEET!

Enterprise NX-01
Originally uploaded by Arroyo Family.

What preceeded were photos of my latest model, the Enterprise NX-01. This was a difficult model because of it's small size. I used a mix of aluminum, steel, and dark grey for this model to give it the metalic look. You will also see gold, copper and silver as well.

Below, here is the latest and most ambitious version of the Enterprise NX-01! This is well over 10 times the size of the little version pictured above! I am in the process of working on this version and have completed much of the painting but am still working on the lighting and will complete the model when all the kinks are worked out. I have a great lighting system for the saucer but am still working on the warp nacelles and engineering section lighting.

Enterprise NX-01 on the Bench

2008-06-02T21:10:00.002-05:00

It has been awhile since I have done some updating to this site but here are some really good working shots of the Enterprise NX-01 on the bench. This summer, I should have this model completed and lit!

In the slide show, above, I have included all the models that I have had displayed in my classroom as well. Since I was taking them down anyway, I took the opportunity to take them and get some closeups of them before packing them away for the next classroom!

Another view of my Bird of Prey model. I loved creating this model. I used the dark green and a more metalic colors. I also used some rust colors to give this a more 'worn' look.

I avoided the duck's egg blue on this one. I opted, instead, for the greens and dark shades which seemed more 'Klingon' for the K'vort class battlecruiser.

I definitely need to use a tripod for this to get a better image. However, until after we move, this will have to do

My previous model was the Romulan battlecruiser. I did not use the greens and muted metalic colors of the Klingon cruiser to differentiate from the Klingon. Instead, I used more earth-tones, tan, brown, copper and gold for this model.

This is the underside of the original series Enterprise (NCC-1701). This view is not seen in the old series, since it was impossible to do with the old models and filming methods. Maybe, in the new cgi that is being done for the new Old Star Trek, we will actually see this view.
