I started work on this yesterday and thought I'd share.
I've started a model of the Galileo Seven, from the star trek original series.
I've only put perhaps at most 2 hours into it and it is a rough shape. Had to start it again a couple of times too as I kept messing things up.
With any luck I'll finish this one.... |

good start, are you going to model the hairy monsters that throw spears at it in one of the episodes? |

I wish....not that good. Funnilly, or not, that episode was called galileo 7 and they destroyed the shuttlecraft in it trying to escape a planet.
Man, I'm such a geek for knowing that. |

When i was a kid that was one of about 6 episodes we had on tape (the BBC didn't repeat them till some time in the 90's i think), it wasn't one of my favorites. |

My mum used to like star trek so from a very young age (6-7) I used to watch them. My dad would watch paint dry if it was on the telly. They used to show it on BBC 2 at 6pm on a monday or wednesday and the other night was a sci-fi b movie like this island earth, forbidden planet or buck rogers/BSG/flash gordon or something like that. I was an instant fan of all things sci-fi after that.
I've done a bit more and at lunch i should get more still done so will post an update later.
I actually never watched much telly when i was young but never missed the 6pm sci-fi shows - was more interested in lego or going out and climbing trees.
I figure it must've been late 70's or early 80's because I would refuse to go to the youth club until I watched my sci-fi program and you had to be 8 to join...which was 1980. |

Ok, an update.
I've shaped the back a little and added more detail to the nacelles/engines/whatever they are. Still a lot of detailing to go yet. There are like fins along the roof, and the landing gear as well. I'm hoping to also model the cabin but might wait until I get Season 1 on DVD so I can grab some stills from it.
I've still got a ways to go but I'm making progress which is good.
And so far, no crashes...awesome. |

Ok, since last week I've not done much but I did manage to model the engine at the back, no details yet, and some detailing around the front and along the roof. The lighting is a little funny at the back. There's also some extra geometry at the back I need to clear out but I'm slowly getting there. No news on the dribbles yet (oops, tribbles, sorry) |
