This is the second
of my Star Trek scratchbuilds designed by Maseo Okazaki of The Starfleet Museum
website. It is made of RENfoam and took a little over two weeks from start to
finish. Photo 3 shows the initial foam pieces cut from paper planform and side
templates. The fighter was shaped with a pneumatic sander and hand sanding
with 80, 120 and 220 grit sandpaper.
Photos 4 and 5 show it contoured and glued together with CA. Brass tube
was used for the exhaust nozzles and guns. Fins were pinned on the
fuselage.

1, 2, 7 and 8 show the final shots of the finished model. I used Tamiya paints
for the ship and Photon torpedo ( turned aluminum with brass fins ). My good
friend Steve Simmons scanned, altered and laser printed the decals for me, and
did a great job to add the finishing touch to the Penguin.

Photo 6 shows the model primed
and panel marked, as well as the cabin windows carved out. I used
laquer primer to seal the foam as well as being a basecoat for the final colors.
The rock cliffs behind the Penguin is a solid chunk of carved Renfoam.
I used 1/8" dia. brass tubes to suspend the ship and torpedo to simulate
flight.
