Mr Trek

New video.

We're up! Fingers crossed for another epic performance!

Quick preview

One of the shots from today's video (uploading later tonight). Crew down in the transporter room on deck 7 with the underside of deck 3 in the teardrop looming over head. Let's hope this next video also goes crazy. The views to the channel are now up by a staggering 115%!!!

28,000!

The channel just hit 28,000 subscribers a few minutes ago and both recent videos are performing fantastic! Let's keep it tight and keep on. Thank you all for your ongoing belief and support! LLAP, Mr Trek!

Strategy and finance

Here is the strategy and it seems to be working. First, I hope this Monday finds you all well! I'm just back from an awesome day of modelling at the studio and straining at the leash to show you! A new video is up on Wednesday. Ok, the strategy is to go raw and regular and up to now the last 2 videos have rocketed the channel...

The Constitution Class Heavy Cruiser!

I think this shows really well the difference between 1:100 and 1:25 scale! The 2 years of test model work is really giving me an awesome foundation to boldly go into these builds of the entire ship. Loving every second of it!

Our ship!

All the elements slowly coming together! Looking forward to how this is going to look by the end of December, just 7 weeks from now!

What ship is this?

Is it Kirk's ship, the original USS Enterprise? Yes it is! Is it the ship we saw in the 1960's TV show? Yes, and no! The Enterprise I'm building is the real ship, not a series of plywood sets moved around for different scenes and takes. This is the real ship and has nothing to do with 'canon'. How am I imagining this? What wo...

CLASSIFIED: analytics

Hoping this Wednesday finds you all well and in good spirits! This is how things are going behind the scenes. The analytics for the two most recent videos are showing EPIC! Green arrows upwards and large increase in views. This was a new strategy I tried and fingers crossed it seems to be working. A ridiculously simple thumbn...

Deck 3 and the bridge.

Today's work. Deck 3 and the bridge platform in position. Work continues tomorrow on the bridge and the teardrop. Monday is fun day!

She's a big ship Jim!

Thank you for all the kind birthday wishes yesterday, I had a fantastic day doing absolutely nothing :-). Anyway, a few shots of today's work. Started placing some of the ceiling of the outer rim of the saucer! Just this small work today really begins to solidify the saucer out of its framework. Will do lots more over the wee...

My birthday.

So it's my birthday today and I do have one special request, that you could like and share the latest video among your network. The video has gone crazy and already over 10K views in just over 1 day (with no sign of slowing down!) ALSO, almost 100 new subscribers OVERNIGHT! We are on a roll folks - let's keep it rolling! Toda...

Status Report: the success.

It's crazy, the latest video is performing so well. Green upward arrows on all levels and literally a fireworks graphic in the analytics from Youtube. I think I've realized the secret of success or at least the direction of promotions for this project. The recent video isn't even a video, it's just a series of photos and la...

New video

Thanks for your epic support!

Deck 4 of the teardrop

Today's work, deck 4 of the teardrop. Some tricky angles here but I worked it out. The shots show Kirk, Spock and Mr Scott exiting the turbolift on deck 4. Over the course of the next week the 'wing' structures will be taken off so I can strengthen the core and also strengthen the wing structures. It's incredible, I can reall...

A failed strategy

We meet in the briefing room! Hope you enjoy the shot of the transporter rooms on deck 7! Anyway, to the point, I thought of doing regular un-edited updates on the Youtube channel, like a quick update every 2 or 3 days, it's very easy to do and I thought it would give a feeling of more involvement to the process of the build ...

Eight hours!

Fantastic work time on the saucer today. Placed rough tests of the transporters onto deck 7 and love the perspective it gives me of the overall build. This is going to be one complex build and I'm loving every second of it. Thanks for believing with me! Our ship is on its way!

Clarity

Ok, just want to make one thing clear. If you signed up at the minimum $5 dollars per month BEFORE 10 feb 2024 your quarters are secure. It seems there is some confusion about my last post to do with access at different levels. One member has already signed out (and blocked me) as a result of this misunderstanding. I don't th...

The core of the saucer!

Lots of work today on the core of the saucer. The shots show deck 3 down to deck 10 (Kirk and Spock are taking a stroll around deck 3 in one of the shots). This is all 1:100 scale and all this work up until the end of the year is giving me the most solid foundation for going full on into the 1:25 scale ship! Thank you for you...

CLASSIFIED INFORMATION

An important announcement. A change in access to information about the project. All signed up members will have access to general posts, photos of the build and general regular updates. The change is that only members at level 2 ($10) and upward will have access to 'classifieds' which is to do with the planning, strategy and ...

The best job in the world!

Working on the 1:100 scale schematic and began the core structure of the saucer today! It really is the best job in the world, specially when I have 300 signed up crewmembers behind me. It's happening!

New video.

Pure EPIC-ness!

Shot of the quick test set up of the 1:100 scale bridge shown in the latest video. The captain's chair, console, burke chairs and figures were all printed for my by our Ambassador. Really can't wait to get into creating this bridge and setting it into the saucer of the ship!

New video.

Remember Crew members/Mission Support, your comment on Youtube counts a ton, and also sharing the link among your network! LLAP, Mr Trek!

A new level.

Crew members/Mission Support. Alan Ross our phaser and damage control specialist has contacted me with a suggestion. It's not for everyone but some of you might be able to do it. He wants to upgrade from $10 per month to $15 so I've created a new tier where you can do this. He says for him it will make no difference but if qu...

Not so inspiring.

Crew members, mission support, sorry to report some not so inspiring news. Latest video again is down massively in views. This time 3 down arrows. Also 8 members signed out of Patreon and no less than 25 signed in as free followers. Not gonna lie, utterly disappointed with the Star Trek community. Maybe I should set up a pew,...

New video.

An idea.

The photo shows Myself and Hanne my girlfriend having some fun as time travellers! But here is the idea to raise funds for the project. If any of you would like to feature exclusively in a video showing maybe a model you have made or yourself in uniform I'm thinking of a $10 donation to the GoFundMe. It wouldn't be a promo fo...

A warm welcome.

A warm welcome to the recent new members supporting the project and ALSO huge thanks and appreciation to those that have recently upgraded! That AND all the regular supporters who continue to believe in me and inspire me onwards in this epic journey. The best Wednesday to you all!
