This is a scratch built work in progress of the USS Defiant, seen in Star Trek Deep Space Nine TV Series, and in Star Trek First Contact. My goal is to replicate the exact details and dimensions of the filming miniature. Through research I’ve been able to track down the original materials and commercially available model kit parts used in it’s detailing. The finished master pattern will be used to make a silicone rubber mold which will be used to cast a lightweight fiberglass casting, which will then be used to make the finished, lit and painted replica.
Below are some of the pictures of the master pattern.
