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).

On The Bench: USS Hotspur

Parts laid out in order after cutting and sanding.


This one is my largest to date. Probably won't build another one this big. Takes too much time and patience.....and paint and glue and sanity. It's 14" in length approximately and is built to scale with the AMT 1701. I've named her Hotspur after one of Horatio Hornblower's commands. There was also a real Hotspur in the Royal Navy (Victorian era) that will probably help me decide on the registry numbers. I'm in the process of detailing and greebling now. Since these pics were taken I've added the deflector dish and some other tidbits. Will update with completion pics when finished. -Brent
