Some
Really Small Models
Below are
some examples of some of the tinier models I've made over the years, some
of them modified, but all made from kits of some sort. Most of these models
were made more than 12 years ago.
This
model of the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars is a little over 5-1/2 inches
long. It started as the two piece snap-together model from the MPC "Rebel
Base" kit and was heavily modified to produce the more realistic example
you see here.

This
model of the Starship Enterprise "A" measures in at a diminutive
4-3/4 inches long, and is completely hand painted. It is made from
the ERTL release, which came in a box of three kits. One was the old series
ship, this one, and the model of the "D", which was slightly bigger,
from "Next Generation". The three models, the parts of which can all fit
in the palm of your hand, was nevertheless, in traditional Ertl fashion,
severely overpackaged in a box measuring 17-1/2 x 12 x 3-1/2 inches! The
unfolded instruction sheet measured at least two feet square! Never in
my life have I ever seen such an overboxed kit!
