thank you

I just want to imagine the sound of a toilet flushing from the slide show showing doctor McCoy walking into the main cabin from the aft head compartment.

WOW!!

Nice work

by the way i have a small width diam of chrome metal tape for your rear panel if interested.. i never used it and i dont deal with chrome pin-striping much. c.s.

Ray Andersen's diorama book goes into detail about how to make figures over into a slightly larger scale... If Historex is no longer out there, Preiser Adam and Eve figures should do...

The real one is here in Houston.

hi, not a massive trekkie, but that looks mint mate 🖐😆

She looks great, Boyd! You'll do the original proud. That trip to see the prop was great fun. We'll have to plan something like that again someday.

One of the best road trips I have took buddy. I'm sure we'll do it again one of these days.

Really takes ya back. Looking great!

That's actually a access door hatch that is painted red. the impulse engine is the white screen area above it.... I think the red panel is suppose to be access to the rear landing strut retracting gear. as it sits right above it. or since it is painted red, it could also be a fuel access port. remember Scotty mentions in that episode there is a fuel line which gives way and they lose all the fuel. ( which how they refuel from the phasers still confuses me, as phasers don't use fuel) but behind that wall seen in shots where the rear hatch in the cabin is open. you see three cylinders which could be fuel tanks. and they would be right behind that red hatch on the rear wall. so that could be a fueling hatch and is why it's painted red .

Wow! This is going to be amazing! Always loved the original shuttle craft.

Looking really sharp Boyd!

Fantastic job! WOW!

Good idea for indexing the front and backs of the nacelles. This is gonna be cool!

Its all up for interpretation at the end of day. As long as it's as good as this you can't go wrong.

Too bad Randy didn't keep some pathways open. Nice solutions and I see plenty of good preliminary work.

Yes it did take a little time to figure out how to route the wiring but it's typical on these resin garage kits. I'm just glad that it exists! It's just the right size too. Should be pretty cool when it's finished.

Can't wait for this one.. Glad you're working on this

Looking really cool Boyd,that overhead light panel looks sweet.

Thanks Lee, I wanted to use some corrugated clear plastic but I could only find huge sheets of it which would be way more than I needed. The sheet styrene worked well to diffuse the LED strips which are really close to it.

Great work as usual Boyd, can't wait to see it finished. No need to cut the Nacalls in the future, you can get drill bits up to three feet long.

One of my favorite episodes in Star Trek. Good reference shots for you project Boyd! Looking forward to this series.

Looking really GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

Thanks Cal.

The red panel on the rear is absolutely an access panel. Good detail here: memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Class_F_shuttlecraft?file=Class_F_shuttlecraft_aft_instrument_access_panel.jpg

Great to see some new Star Trek build videos. Thanks Boyd! I look forward to these like I would a new TV series episode ;-)

Looking really good Boyd, looking forward to the next part

Awesome work Boyd I look forward to seeing it done going to be cool.

Looking good! And my 5 year old son likes seeing it too :-)

Awesome! That's a lot work to get that lit. Are you sure the paint scheme is a green and not the studio lighting and film processing?

@TrekWorks

I'm pretty sure it's green based on all the different angles that it appears the same. All I can go by is what I'm seeing on the screen. They did use some pretty strong colors for the lighting on the set though. That same exact color of green is on the walls of Dr. McCoy's lab on the Enterprise.

hey boyd its looking good so far , you could use the same brass rod you are using for the feet of the necells to join the necell halves back together so they are straight and it will give them strength so they don't crack, what do you think?

where can I purchase this model .happy Fourth of July .my father would love it

Lol, yeah it was long overdue and when a client asked about building one for him it seemed like a good idea to build mine first to figure out all the issues to solve with the wiring and lighting.

Just do a Google search for Randy Cooper models

You know, This is one of the designs from TOS that I just don't like that much. I mean this is a nice Randy Cooper kit but the design was never one of my favorites. Matt Jefferies didn't care for it, either, and I think that's partly because A) he didn't design this -- another guy did; and B) he had a much more aerodynamic vehicle in mind for the Shuttlecraft that would have made more sense from an energy-conservation and aerodynamics (lift/drag) scheme. The used shuttle design you know had to have serious power and maybe some anti-gravity devices to make it work! It was just a very boxy design. Not very aerodynamic. I've NEVER seen this particular shuttle design with lit nacelles or a swirling/bussard cap. It'll be interesting to see what extra life those effects bring to the kit. As far as I've always read, this was a sublight vehicle. (I know, I know -- artistic license! If anything, the lighting will make the model more interesting and give it more life. That's a major plus for this design.) It was strictly made for ship-to-ship transfer of personnel or ship-to-planet transport if the transporter was done or for whatever diplomatic reasons the transporter wasn't feasible.
