No hes still going. He might have to pause for a bit due to his plastic supplies being harder to come by. Some of the stuff he made for larger scale lines are discontinued but hes going strong on the 4.5 stuff. He does make relatively small batches so you might have to wait for a new run of some items. A TNG conference lounge is in the works!

Wow, their Enterprise-E bridge is pretty sweet, though I wish they would sand down some of the flat surfaces a little more. Still, very cool stuff. If I stay indoors for like another 2 months and become even more of a megalomaniac when it comes to the 4.5-inch figures, I may have to get all of these and create the bridge floor myself.

 

One aspect of the bridge of the E that's kind of overlooked is that... in the three movies we never quite got a good feel for where everything is. The lighting was dark, the surfaces were dark, the paint colors did not reflect light at all, and a lot of the camera shots were closeups of actors' faces. So the Encyclopedia was really the first good look at the bridge that was available. 

 

Would love to see them do the D battle bridge, or Voyager bridge which was like 2 acres wide.

Very Nice!

 

I realize you had to paint yours, but how is the multicolor print tech coming? I know it exists, but is it still too expensive comparatively speaking?

I have to ask; does the Scotty figure have all his fingers?

I always wished they'd acknowledge Doohan's missing digit rather than hiding it. It could have been an interesting backstory about Scotty.

 

Then again, Scotty's missing finger was revealed in plenty of shots.

Nice work Sybeck! I got an FDM (filament deposition modelling) printer last year and have been going nuts with it.

 

How is resin to work with? I hear there are odour issues etc. I don't have a heated workshop, so painting and anything else noxious is less enticing in the winter months.

Im making a 1:9 transporter, scratch built, could use a console. I can print myself, but can not create on my own.
