Last year Star Trek turned 50, so I tried the half-baked idea to do 50 TOS models in 2500 scale to celebrate (didn't quite make it, but still plan to follow through).

So I'll be turning 50 soon (was I conceived during a Star Trek Episode - could explain a lot!) so I need to use up what's left of my mojo (before going to the old folks home) and decided to double down. Essentially, I'll be working through my Round 2/AMT kits OOB, kitbashed, etc.

I'm kicking this off early to get some finished in time to give them to my brother for Christmas (possibly as early as Thanksgiving). He's a fan but not a modeler. It will also give me a good dry-run for when I attempt my "masterpiece" versions.

Go slawton!

But can you count those that you built last year in your new effort? You did build them

[slawton]

I don't intend to "double-dip", but any spill-over (>50) not included in final tally of the previous one is fair game.

[mophius]

Can't wait to see some of these

[el gato]

If past is prologue, there is good reason to look forward to the eye candy. Check out slawton's previous effort.

[MEATLOAFr]

Let me know if you need decals again for these

I look forward to seeing more of your work

[asmcelhinney]

Damn.

Looking forward to this playing out!

Well Hurricane Irma threw in a curveball, but life is returning to normal so hopefully some progress over the upcoming weekend. As I suspect with many of you, I've been more of a model kit "collector" than a model kit "builder" - so I'm trying to change that. Hopefully life has settled down a bit and I can have some "me" time (also the family does not want to hang out with me when I'm watching football - American that is). I have multiples of many these kits, so the first build will be more of a learning experience and will not stifle me with over "analysis is paralysis" keeping me from starting/finishing.

I'd also like to document the build to include ship/model specifications, other reference builds, etc. So I will put a post for each kit, then periodically update that specific post (rather than keep appending to the end of the thread). In this way, it could be used as a starting point for others. Any build threads of these 1/2500 Round 2/AMT kits or other scales you'd like to recommend, just PM me links so I can include them in my posts.

Getting started after a hiatus - as to be expected several of the glues were unusable (completely hardened). I thought I'd get started with something easy. Some of the original bases I intend to use as artwork instead. The duplicate base I'm using additional posts (cut shorter) to make it more of a star shape.

I've gotten a start with the assembly - the older kits have more issues (gaps, seams, holes, inaccuracies, etc.) that need additional work. The newer kits fit better with minor seems corrected with a little sanding. I might try building some without painting to see how they turn out. I hoped the phaser posts from the Lantree-variant Reliant could be used on the top of the saucer for the "All Good Things" Enterprise, but the posts are slanted rather than straight. The saucer-separated engineering hull has a heavy resin piece (from VA Miniatures) that I'm trying to adequately secure to the hull.
