Works In Progress

(December 10, 2024)

UPDATE:

I am a little behind my goal of completing Kristofer's and Ryan's Refit builds by the end of November, but I hope to have them done within the next two weeks, at which point I will be focusing solely on Scott P.'s Refit and Dave's 1/1000 scale Discovery/SNW Enterprise. Following the completion of Scott's, I will be primarily focusing on finishing Oscar's Refit, at which time I will also be working on Kristofer's 1/537 scale Miranda-class starship build. I *hope* to have all of these done by the end of January.

UPDATE:

If you read my last update - I'm working on Oscar's build but am going to start working on another set of 1/350 Refits using the Trekmodeler light kit I've almost exclusively used in the past. Oscar's been extraordinarily patient with me (I can't say how much I appreciate that), and I want to finish his build as soon as possible, but it has been a real challenge for me, and I know Oscar wants it done well.

Having said that, I'm making adjustments to estimations below, but I am about to start on the following Refit builds this week. I'm going to go back to building them simultaneously, so I hope to get them completed around the same time.

Ryan - 1/350 Enterprise Refit
Kristofer - 1/350 Enterprise Refit
Scott - 1/350 Enterprise Refit

The next build I will tackle after those will be Jerrad's and Thomas's.

David B, I will fit your 1/350 TOS Enterprise in as I work through these builds, and I'll also finish the 1/650 Enterprise.

Dave, I have started your 1/1000 Discovery Enterprise and will work on it periodically as I'm working through these larger builds.

UPDATE:

I haven't posted updates in awhile, but I *am* at work. I'm currently tackling a really challenging build - Oscar's 1:350 Refit - which is different than all the previous ones I've done because of the lighting kit. It's been a struggle.

I am making adjustments to the dates below. I'm going to start on two Refits this month. I should have some updates soon.

UPDATE:

I've been really sick for about a week and-a-half with a bad sinus infection that threatened to turn into bronchitis, and that slowed me down a bit. But I did finish the two Klingon K'Tinga's I was working on. I made a few adjustments to estimated dates below.

UPDATE:
Strategy going forward has changed somewhat. Primarily because of winter weather, which has prevented me from doing spray painting outside (which I have to do for larger pieces and must do outside due to the small house I'm currently in and the severity of my reaction to being around paint odors without adequate ventilation), the build I've been working on since January has taken me much longer than expected. Now that the weather is warming up, I'm going to aggressively attack the next group of builds. Note that you'll see Oscar's build taking awhile - I'm using a different lighting kit with it and it's proven to be very difficult for me (and fortunately Oscar has been *very* patient and understanding - but that will not stop me from moving forward with other builds.

What I'm going to do is go back to working on multiple builds of the 1/350 scale Refit/A at once, but *also* alternating those with other smaller or less complicated builds so that I can get those done and out of the queue. As of today, March 28, I am about two days away from completing Jonathan's build, and immediately after that, I'm going to start two 1/350 Klingon K'Tingas as I'm resuming work on Oscar's Refit. Those Klingon ships should not take me more than a couple weeks. Immediately after finishing them, I will be starting on the next group of Refit builds.

Oscar - 1/350 Enterprise Refit (estimated completion ~ TBD - June 2024)
David - 1/650 TOS Enterprise (estimated completion June 2024)
Ryan - 1/350 Enterprise Refit

At this point, I do not think I can get all builds done by the end of this year, but I do hope to have the last few (which were commissioned more recently) done by second quarter 2025.

Finally, please note: I will not be taking any new commissions for the forseeable future.
