What's It To You?

My name is Brent Byerly and this is my personal Sci Fi modeling site. I have been crafting wooden spaceship models for several years now and until this blog could only display them on a bookshelf. Thanks to the wonders of the web they may finally have a wider audience. Please feel free to comment (keep it family friendly please).

Finished: USS Hotspur

She's finally done. Although, as I've done in the past, I'll probably add bits here and there. Not sure of the classification as of yet, but her era is "post TOS/pre TMP". I named her the Hotspur in honor of Horatio Hornblower's first command. I figured since Captain Kirk was inspired somewhat by Hornblower that this would be a good tribute and tie in. She's just slightly smaller than a Constitution class vessel. I put lifeboats on the hull although they were not visible on ships during this time. I just like the added detail it gives. I'll add more if I think of anything else to say about her. Probably will. Enjoy the pics. -Brent
