Mike Walston
Highlands Ranch, Colorado
To depict the destruction of a Klingon ship at the beginning of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Mike mounted Polar Light’s 1/350 scale K't'inga-class battlecruiser on a 1/8-inch-thick Plexiglass disc. Then he sandwiched the disc and a 12-inch blue Luminglass plate in a circular frame. He removed a section of a wing but otherwise built the kit straight from the box. It’s lit with LEDs powered by a 9-volt battery and finished with a variety of green spray paints.
