Earth Station "McKinley"

here my newest project and some first pictures!

as reference i used pictures of the original studio model:

Mystery 10 Star Trek TNG McKinley Station

i know that the model looks a bit different, but closer than the most game models which i saw!

That's going to be a good-looking model Marko. Looking forward to your next post.

Little update: I made the rear end with two arm holders! the other two holders are next! the holders are linear movable! also i thought i should make some pictures with two ships in the same scale for a size comparision

Nice build...

Just one of those things that make you go "hmmm..." I wonder what the fixation with "McKinley" is...

In TOS we had "McKinley Rocket Base" (where Gary Seven sabotaged the rocket launching the orbital weapons platform) and then we have this McKinley Station in orbit for ship repairs...

Just wondering...

Later! OL JR
