very nice custom build of a prototype shuttle design. I always liked the design and was happy that they used most of it in the physical model for the show. Great job!!
Wonderful scratch build! What a tribute to the Kellogg original and your Dad! My only thoughts on improvements would be some red and green aircraft navigation lights on the fore and aft wingtips done with fiber optics cut flush lit with LEDs and either steady on or even adding a simple flasher circuit or both, would really make them pop with that gorgeous black!!
@9:12 -- Honestly, that lit engine grill reminds me of the impulse deck on the Enterprise (remastered/CG Enterprise and the Refit first seen in ST:TMP; the impulse engines weren't lit in the original version of Star Trek). Jefferies never seemed to be crazy about putting on warp nacelles on his shuttlecraft designs. I don't think he envisioned them being long-range vehicles let alone warp capable! The designs I've seen for original Star Trek and Phase II never seemed to be more than ferries for transfer of personnel ship-to-ship or ship-to-planet.
So, Gene Winfield likes to take credit for this design and I even saw him describe in an interview how he drew up a really nice rendering believing Matt Jeffries would like it, and as he says this, the documentary cuts to a shot of Kellogg's drawing.
Love that your dad was able to share his passion with you so you were able to enjoy it both in your own way.
An excellent build, as well as a tribute to your father
FANTASTIC!!! I've always liked this design better than the production version. It's good to see a physical model of the design.

Great job Neil!!!You are very talented!Your dad would have loved this one!!!
Nice! I still like the Matt Jeffries shuttle craft as well.
Wayyyyy kewllllll-!
D.A.
I am very tempted to build one like this and add a "warp service module " to allow it to be FTL capable...
Well done! You have inspired me for my build :)
No better response I could hope for!

I would love a set of those decals. Would Circus City Decals still have them?
They were custom made by me for this scale. I can send you the file if you send me an email
Welke it's pronounced Well-KEE
Amazing work!
