Just another mild-mannered blog featuring artwork by me, Collin J Wood, and many things that interest and inspire me…
What’s in a name? Well, she has one now – USS Heinlein NCC-1907, continuing my little & still new tradition of naming ships after my favorite authors (last one was the USS Tolkien). Its comin right along, lots of decals to go now

Progress is getting interesting now. Made the decision NOT to try Aztecing just yet. Instead, took some White Pearl and randomly painted the engraved panelling. I like how it turned out.

All Primed and ready AND rookie mistake using light grey primer for a WHITE ship. Then to turn around and paint her white again. BUT it did actually cause an unintended effect that I kinda dig for this- Makes some of the panel lines (that most detest) pop a little

Since it wont be the Enterprise, needed to change-up the title…
Next up…quick look at the replacement Bridge and lower Saucer sensor domes for my 1:537 scale Constitution-class refit. Should give my ship a little bit of a unique look compared to Enterprise

This is where the fun begins. My first time customizing a kit with conversion pieces. Turned out better than I was expecting it to. It isn’t perfect…but it works…Split-Impulse engine in place…

When you discover websites like https://zazzle.com it leads to new ideas…like the creation of a patch for your own NX_Class Refit starship. from concept to product…now alls I need is the jumpsuit…#StarTrek #Trekkie #Cosplay #zazzlemade
The patch with the blue border has the velcro backing, in use on my favorite pack from 3V
Put this together as we were gearing up for #StarTrekDay , my spin on the updated #StarTrekTNG Ship art Delta on a light blue V-neck Tee. The red is reflective, and seems i accidentally used Glow-in-the-Dark white for the delta 😶#StarTrek #Trekkie #TrekFashion #GeekFashion #LLAP
