I remember when I was young I’d build my favorite models and just lay down Imagining living in a universe where I lived and worked with a real ship or space craft. I need to get back in to modeling and teach it to my kids before they get too old. Thanks for making these model videos, makes me want to get back into the hobby.
I've see the real full size Studio version on the Intrepid in NYC. I built the AMT model when I was a kid back in the late 1970's. I think your model looks better than both. Nicely done!
Wow just amazing amazing amazing amazing piece of work. A true piece of art that honors the memory of Rodenberry, Jimmy Doohan, D. Kelley, Majel Barrett, Grace Lee Whitney and Mark lenard! A true legacy peice! Thanks for sharing!
Great job! I just picked up the Polar Lights kit and am looking forward to making it. Your build is stunning and I only hope my shuttle craft will look half as good!
Wonderful! At last the base video...hanging out for this for ages. The 'power pads' system is the best 'new' idea I have seen in modelling for a few decades now. Truly brilliant model and modelling again!
Wow Boyd, the base is such a complement to an already gorgeous Galileo! I love the jellybean switches too! Now I have that Carly Simon tune in my head "Anticipation", lol. I can only speculate on how the "tweaked" version of the build will turn out. As always Boyd, top notch work that's absolutely flawless!!
Hi Boyd, congratulations for your fine Galileo build. I have the same Randy Cooper kit and I have to start building it in the near future. You have to be lucky that you have so many modelshows in your country. Here in Austria/Europe modelshows are very rare...
Absolutely brilliantly built 🤩! So many great details ! The model is ready for the cinema ! Can you tell me where I can get the switches and buttons . I wanted to build the model myself .😃
That. Is. Stunning. The lighting effects, the details, the finish, the base, those beautiful under-lit buttons, and to top it all that innovative way of powering it, just wow! You didn’t show the buttons working, tho, Boyd, do they do anything or are they just display only?
The buttons are just for display. I thought about making a few of them blink but thought better of it. It would distract too much from the model itself I think.
TrekWorks - I do see your thinking, but they look so very tempting, lol, in certain situations I bet you’re gonna get so many trekkers pressing them then goin, ‘Aw’ when they don’t make the right beep! You might need a little printed card that says ‘Like the original prop, buttons are non-functional’ or similar, in case people get too hands-on! I know I would!
I heard recently that the original studio prop was constructed at 3/4 scale of the original blueprint size, I assume for budget reasons. If this is true, it would be interesting to see a model build that adjusted for this. the seats may be slightly small in proportion to the hull, and have enough room that any scale figures could actually stand up in it. which the actors couldn't do in the interior shuttle set.
Great work but why didn't you move the camera to the front of the ship, focusing closer thru the front windows so the enterior could be seen through the front?
Heh heh. Better than the REAL studio model with all that lighting. Again, personally not my favorite TOS design but it's a damn nice model build! Very nice base! If there's one thing you always do well Boyd besides maintaining an enthusiasm level in your videos it's finding out a nice style base to fit these customized models. It's an elegant simple base solution but it fits. Right color schemes and console style, I'm sure! You really like those buttons, don't you? I have to admit -- the interior color scheme IS something I like better about the TOS Enterprise versus the later era Starships. TOS Enterprise actually looks like it was color-coordinated for people's mental health -- anybody who was going to spend years out in space in a sealed structure. I don't think battleship grey and dull colors do wonders for people's moods long-term! I do appreciate the choice of putting it on a Starship-style landing pad. It fits! They don't always have to be suspended or flying in space. Much as I like to see things fly there are times they look nice parked. This definitely looks very nice the way it is.
Yes, the designs have held up! There's not a lot of designs after the Motion Picture era that I care for in all honesty but they didn't really change the layout of of the bridge all that much because it worked. Matt Jefferies got it right in the original pilot episode! The bigger problem with the newer shows and movies are the very heavy-handed politics and deliberate lying about which Star Trek they were going to carry on from with the newer show on CBS Digital. I didn't like what I saw in the ST: Discovery trailer and I'm not going to subscribe to yet another digital service just to watch a new show which seems to be more of what I didn't like in the JJ films to begin with -- bad acting, bad writing, and bad art desig, with added heavy-handed bullypulpitting (although JJ-Trek is more like watching a flavorless attempt at a Trek version of Star Wars; the social agenda isn't emphasized that much in the JJ films). They handled the social issues a LOT better in the original Star Trek and (mostly) TNG. I've never cared for the politicizing that calls anybody who has a reasonably thought-out alternative opinion an idiot -- that's what I don't care for with political correctness. The JJ films are controversial, let's be honest... A lot of people are NOT happy with the JJ-Verse and the fact that CBS lied about the fact that Star Trek: Discovery is a prequel to THAT alterate universe and not the prime/true/classic Star Trek timeline. Frankly, I think Classic Trek will still be around in 15 years (after all the original prime cast are long gone) but JJ-Trek will end up on the dustbin of Star Trek series like ST: Enterprise which just didn't work out in the long run...
Nice job, and as a matter of interest what maximum speed did the Galileo have in open space? And what sort of range did it have to reach planets and make it back to the Enterprise? And how long before the power and onboard food, water and oxygen depleted?
That some build next time try inductive power transfer you can buy two charging coil on amazon these will transfer an AC current through spacewithout wires or contacts. J
That is a very cool model and a great display! Great idea with the electrical contact pads! Good luck on your IPMS show! Please come and check out my channel. I am working on an old 1983 AMT U.S.S. Enterprise kit and i'd like you guys to see how I am doing.
Yeah, I did this three months ago and I'm having a 1/24th scale printed along with all interior and decals, lighting kit and I'm thinking about a complete model of the shuttle bay.. ua-cam.com/video/cdsfoXP24r4/v-deo.html
Brilliant work! I can imagine using an raspberry pi and a tiny screen to make the buttons active. Amazing work, just wow!

Where’s the “love” button? Fantastic!
incredible detail and beautifully done. 10/10
EXTRAORDINARY work! Beyond perfection! Easily BETTER than a studio effects house!
Just WOW! That's one of the best displays yet, Boyd. You've really captured the aesthetic of TOS Star Trek. LLAP
Thanks, there's still something about the TOS era look that they got it just right.
Simply gorgeous!!!!
That is an amazing build. The pads for the electrical leads is a terrific idea. Wow is the best word I can think of.
Beautiful, you did a fantastic job. Thank you for sharing!
Wow just amazing amazing amazing amazing piece of work. A true piece of art that honors the memory of Rodenberry, Jimmy Doohan, D. Kelley, Majel Barrett, Grace Lee Whitney and Mark lenard! A true legacy peice! Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic! Thank you for posting this.
Wow...beautifully done Boyd....outstanding
Beautiful work!
Beautiful work.
Great job! I just picked up the Polar Lights kit and am looking forward to making it. Your build is stunning and I only hope my shuttle craft will look half as good!
I would be proud to have a model like this. The contacts are a very clever solution.
neat i like the metal to metal contact
The shuttlecraft did not have warp drive.
love the base. another great job!!!
I like how the power is channeled up from the base, with the TOS style control panel. Very nice work.
It‘s just beautiful, Boyd..!
Wow, that is gorgeous ,it's a piece of art and that display is out of this world.
amazing build.
Wonderful! At last the base video...hanging out for this for ages. The 'power pads' system is the best 'new' idea I have seen in modelling for a few decades now. Truly brilliant model and modelling again!
I am without words! Thank you for displaying this video.
So amazing! This has GOT to be a winner at the show! I've always loved that shuttle craft. Looking forward to Saturday's show.
First time I have ever wanted to build this kit!
Your base/display and electronic add ons make this amazing.
That display really kicks it up a notch ! Looks great Boyd !
Thanks Chuck, was worried I'd get it finished before the show.
Wow Boyd, the base is such a complement to an already gorgeous Galileo! I love the jellybean switches too! Now I have that Carly Simon tune in my head "Anticipation", lol. I can only speculate on how the "tweaked" version of the build will turn out. As always Boyd, top notch work that's absolutely flawless!!
Best of luck with the show!
A great finish to a great build for the Galileo Boyd! The base looks fantastic! Well done. Good luck at the show.
very handsome display!
Thanks Cal!
That look solidly awesome.
Outstanding in every way! Well done, Sir! 😊👍
Great work. I'm sure it will be a winner at the show!
I will need one in 1/72 scale in the future. Great job.
Look forward to seeing you at the show!
Awesome
Beautiful
Wow! You did an amazing job on that kit, Boyd...LOVE the base!!!
Best Galileo model I've seen, excellent job 🖖
Thanks :)
Fantastic work Mr. Boyd.
It would be nice to see more of the insdie
That's one fabulous job you did boyd.
Boyd, your work is absolutely beautifully brilliant. Love it.
Beautiful base Boyd. Really accents your great work. Good luck at the show.
That IS a great job on the base.
Fantastic display Boyd. Good luck with the show!
That turned out awesome! Very nice!
Very nice detail!
Very nice work but I was hoping for a closeup of the front windows showing the interior.
Hi Boyd, congratulations for your fine Galileo build. I have the same Randy Cooper kit and I have to start building it in the near future. You have to be lucky that you have so many modelshows in your country. Here in Austria/Europe modelshows are very rare...
I am speechless. Amazing!!!!!
Absolutely fantastic. I love it
Absolutely brilliantly built 🤩! So many great details ! The model is ready for the cinema ! Can you tell me where I can get the switches and buttons . I wanted to build the model myself .😃
splendid model well done
Very cool base and build well done sir
Beyond amazing! Absolutely gorgeous work! 👌
That looks amazing, Boyd
Great ideas!! Looks beautiful!
Beautiful!
Absolutely amazing!
The 'jelly buttons should activate audio sound bites of iconic shuttlecraft sounds..
Terrific!
That. Is. Stunning. The lighting effects, the details, the finish, the base, those beautiful under-lit buttons, and to top it all that innovative way of powering it, just wow! You didn’t show the buttons working, tho, Boyd, do they do anything or are they just display only?

Awesome / Brilliant Creation!
Amazing work as always!
Outstanding, I am in aw
You guys are amazing that's really impressive
Great Work!

It's pretty amazing how many of those 50 year old designs from the show are still so effective.

Dang, that’s nice.
Nice job, and as a matter of interest what maximum speed did the Galileo have in open space?
And what sort of range did it have to reach planets and make it back to the Enterprise?
And how long before the power and onboard food, water and oxygen depleted?
Actually the buttons that you show were small ice cube trays.
Perfection!
I Love it i love to have one......
Awesome sir!!!
Thanks :)
This is my favorite. B.K.
Are you planning to do something like that with the Polar Lights model?
What I want to know is how you can get such a smooth paint job... dust is my big issue.
love the work and the display. Wanting to build this one myself. Do you know if HD modelworks sells the display?
NICE ! ! !
👍👍
Fantastic work, where did you get the jelly bean switches or are they known by another name?
Hey Byod where did you get the clear pieces for the narcells
They came with the kit.
excelent
I want one
That some build next time try inductive power transfer you can buy two charging coil on amazon these will transfer an AC current through spacewithout wires or contacts. J
Cool concept. These models run on very low current DC voltage. It's in the milliamps range with everything running. The modern efficiency of LED's.
How does that power work?
How much is your work worth on this one Sir.
That is a very cool model and a great display! Great idea with the electrical contact pads! Good luck on your IPMS show!

Seems like you had to use a lot of putty. Seams, putty... Get it? LOL!
