I have expanded and updated the display for some of my Star Trek scale models.

I have now finished this stellar model from AMT / Round2. I really enjoyed building it.

It’s the newest Star Trek release from the company, famed for its models during the show’s original run. They sold over a million Enterprise NCC 1701 models during TOS (1966-1969) and have been producing Trek models ever since. Round 2 acquired AMT (Aluminum Model Toys) in 2012.

Sunward Hobbies in Mississauga, Ontario has shipped the model kit I purchased back in November 2025.

This is the Star Trek version of Enterprise from Star Trek: First Contact, then seen again in Insurrection and Nemesis. It’s NCC 1701-E.

I have completed my latest scale model project.

Months ago, I ran a poll on Life After Gateway for fans/supporters to pick my next scale model for me.

As voted by you, my next scale model build will be AMT 1400: the Klingon Bird-of-Prey.

I have been building Star Trek model kits for the past year, following a forty-year break from the hobby. I have focused on TOS sets released by AMT, now owned by Round2.
