Macrossmartin's Trek-inspired Starship Miniatures

[Macrossmartin]

Greetings, all!

Pardon the plug (and I do hope this isn't against forum rules) but I thought I'd show off the miniatures I've been sculpting for Studio Bergstrom over the past few months.

Here's a 'family snap' of a good number of the designs, fresh from the S.B. Moulds:



Some of you will be familiar with these sculpts from my old threads on TMP, but I hope they are new to many of you good people.

Let's start with a render of my take on my favourite Klingon ship - the D-10 Heavy Cruiser!



... and here's where you can get your very own, in 1/3125 scale (Same as the Starline 2500 range):

I hope you like this 'blast from the past' (or is that the future?) variation on the D-10. Designing a range of 'Trek-inspired miniatures and seeing them come to pewter-and-resin life is definitely a bucket list item I can scratch off!

I'll post more renders and info next time. Meanwhile, feel free to ask any questions.

I was looking at these lovely sculpts just yesterday, really love these! I have a small force of Andy's Sing-Ons already and highly recommevthem too.

I need to save some pennies before I can get some unfortunately, esp. being in the oik island of the UK 

Any shots of your Klingon corvette so I can get a feel for sizing? Loving the pseudo Miranda class too.

Apologies for not getting back sooner, Ragsta; no pics of the corvette, I fear. I'll see if I can drum up some from 'Drew.

Meanwhile, there's a bunch of new ships available now, including the Anton class...





The Ark Royal class carrier...





And the monstrous L-13 Fatman!





I have to say, I'm really chuffed with how nicely the L-13 turned out. 'Drew had some hassles with the sculpt (due to the inexperience of yours truly), but now it looks great. I intend to use one as a Heavy Carrier in my Klingon fleet.

Is the Fat Man on sale now?  I saw the Ark Royal release, missed the tubby Klingon.  Must do the IKV (Nero) Wolfe at some point.

Love the parts layout on the Ark Royal, BTW.  Very reminiscent of the old FASA Excelsior, but with a sturdier engine layout.

Yep, the L-13 went onto the Studio Bergstrom store yesterday. Here's a link:

I'm glad you like the way I designed the Ark. Sturdiness and ease of assembly were two of my key objectives while sculpting this range. How well I remember the FASA minis, and their often... 'optional' nacelles!

About time I started getting some paint on these...

D-10 class Heavy Cruiser.







Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics, with prototype decals. (The base is lasercut 3mm Acrylic, with a cut-out for a D6 to track shields - designed for the in-development miniatures rules Klingons on the Starboard Bow!)

Starline 2500 Constitution and D7 classes for comparison:



Have YOU added this mighty starship to your fleet yet...?

Looks like something out of Discovery.

I'd put it more like the Relativity from Armada...

Here you go. Not too dissimilar.

Here you go. Not too dissimilar.

Very different from the rear of the saucer to the nacelle pylons.

And I'd messed up, was thinking of the Premonition rather than Relativity

Just discovered these and ordered a few.  They're fantastic!  Good work, Martin!

[Smoke Frog]

That D-10 turned out great! 

[Skullhamma]

Fantastic looking space ships!
