This studio model has been one that has been a long time coming. Artist Richard Long started making the patterns for this kit years ago, and with the forming of TITAN M&M, Richard pushed to complete the patterns to make the kits that everyone wants. This specific build shown is for the collection here at [...]

Artist R.L. Bleecker came out of retirement when one of our viewers at NBC/Universal contacted him specifically to build the Botany Bay that would go along side his Master Replicas Enterprise 1701.

This beautiful piece started out years ago as a “clean” Enterprise built by Richard Long of his own mastered kit that is now out of production. It was beautiful back then as she was displayed! But then the unthinkable happened… and in tragedy… [...]

Moving right along, Dan is at the lighting stage of the project! Here we can see him testing luminescence of the Nacelles before placing the full lighting package in. The kit pieces were warped in the back after their years of storage, but Dan managed to attach the metal armature to the fiberglass, straightening it [...]

Utilizing the blue screen photos (SEEN HERE) of the Richard Long patterned 1:650 Enterprise 1701-E that artist Marc Elkins restored, Robert made this terrific composite showing the E in the luminescence of space.

Built for the Clay Brown Collection from the kit originally mastered by Nick Sainton-Clark (then turned over to Nice-N Model designs and cast by MSLZ22 Models), artist Richard Long made this piece fantastic and very original! Most replicas are just that… replicated mark for mark like the studio models used in filming. Richard was granted [...]

Originally one of two built by Marc Elkins for Modeler Magic/Kuhn Global and Marc himself… this second build went into the major collection Michael Plante after he visited Marc! He did what we all do when viewing something in person like this…. first drooled, then made an offer that the artist will accept to make [...]

This REL mastered Galaxy Class beastie continues it’s progress under the skilled hands of artist Dan Grumeretz!!!

Quick update.  I Went to fix the seam at the neck area and found that the spine detail is absent along the whole back. Curious… as one of Richard’s photos in primer shows the spine detail is there. No [...]

Finally…. after years of being placed on the back burner, this piece has made it to the front of the line to be built! Industry known artist Dan Grumeretz (of Grumeretz Illustration) is taking on this 40 inch beast of which only has a few in the world built of it as USS Enterprise 1701-D. [...]

I have the pleasure of introducing another great artist to the Gallery… Mr. James Gaunt! Utilizing the size of the Richard Long 1:650 Enterprise 1701-D as a basis, James beautifully scratch built this beautiful Nebula Class Starship to accompany the 1:650 Enterprise D! This piece is fantastic! I wish there was a kit of it! [...]

Richard Long has returned with this fantastic TIE Fighter, painted in it’s proper blue, for the Capt. Drew Sheppard Collection!

Built from the fantastic MSLZ22 Patterns, Richard Long is doing 3 or 4 of these beautiful, giant AT-AT’s for a 30 foot HOTH display! The snow and weathering added on this piece really makes it pop! What can I say about this other than WOW!! Plus…. I am jealous!!!! What a beautiful job by all [...]

Made for the Clay Brown Collection…. Richard Long used artistic license in creating the paint pattern of this predator beast of old. It was so unique, and realistic looking that the local Museum of Natural History hired Richard to paint one of their Dinosaur displays! This piece is beautiful!
Like what you see? You too can [...]

Artist Richard Long again has come through with this fantastic build of the Viper Mk II! Built from the former FM Model Company Kit, this piece now resides in the collection of Mr. David Jones. The lighting… and extreme weathering makes this piece fantastically realistic in looks…. and is one premium piece to show! Outstanding! [...]

A few weeks ago artist Richard Long finished a beautiful studio scale PYRO of the Cylon Raider from Battlestar Galactica.

My apologies to artist William Pace. I originally posted that Richard Long made this composite, [...]

Ralph McQuarrie’s concept designs have become legendary among the fans of this art form Professional artist Richard Long has utilized Mr. McQuarrie’s designs again and again, turning them into real world models… like this one! The A-Wing was only seen in Return of the Jedi. I must admit… I like the McQuarrie shape better than [...]

Once again famed artist Richard Long releases his talent into another Star Wars Concept Fighter. This one again designed by Ralph McQuarrie, it is clearly much larger than the A-Wing that ILM built for Return of the Jedi in the 80’s. This piece is magnificent, and is one of a kind! When it is finished [...]

Built by famed artist Richard Long, this studio Cylon Raider is a cast from an original Pyro used in the filming of the 1978 film Battlestar Galactica. Richard even placed the ‘ghost’ Cylon Symbol on the fuselage just like the filming model had. Beautiful!!
