U.S.S. Cygnus


This model of the Cygnus, custom built for a client, was modified from the stock kit by "stretching" it to be more correcly proportional to the film miniature. This was done by adding an extra segment from another kit just ahead of the centre of the ship. The model was sprayed with fluorescent paints and the girderwork painstakingly done by hand, one rod at a time, a process that took days! A tiny new scratchbuilt "Palomino" was also made. The Cygnus was  photographed under black light to enhance the glowing effect.
