Thank you so much for this video tribute to Boyd. After watching so many of his videos of him building and teaching those of us who wanted to learn to model, it was almost as if he were a neighbor or good friend. Even for those of us who never got to meet him. He will be missed along with his infectious passion for the art form known as scale modelling. Thanks again Jason and thanks for being another bearer of the community torch.

Did you add lighting to it?

Hi, which of your video has more details on this. 🙏

So gutted to hear Boyd has passed. Always enjoyed his videos. He had such a soothing voice and his sharing of knowledge was so generous. I often listen and watch his videos when I'm at work or home. A true genius and an even better human being. Rest in peace Boyd. 🙏 You're going to be missed!!

I will miss Boyd. I live north of him about 7 hours in Wichita Falls, Tx. I always wanted to meet him. I too am a big trek fan. I learned so much from his videos. RIP Boyd.

That is a very nice looking kit

so sad

RIP Boyd

I'm much more of a Trek modeller but there's something about this makes me want to go out and get one...

Trekworks was the first KZbin channel I stumbled upon when I was looking at the 1/350 Enterprise Refit for my dad and I have learned many tricks from Boyd for the lighting, Boyd definitely was a great inspiration to the modelling community.

Hi Jason. Thank you for the tribute to Boyd. I literally just saw him. On April 24th I met him. I'd purchased his Ultimate Space Battleship Yamato to help support his treatments and went to his house to pick it up. He looked great. He was in good spirits and seemed to be physically recovering and getting stronger. And, I have to say, he was so nice and the coolest older nerd I've ever met. He spent the better part of 6 hours showing me his workspace and his model room while we just talked about everything science fiction and the modeling community. I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear he'd just passed away. I will treasure the time I spent with him, the model he made and how amazing his show was. He inspired me to start modeling again and his videos always had great tips on techniques and experiences shared. I will really miss him. RIP Boyd Crompton.

Beautiful tribute Jason

TeamSpeak! Boy that brings back memories 😢

Great job Jason! You said what were are all feeling.

Thank you for sharing, Jason. Boyd will truly be missed, but not forgotten.

This was a beautiful tribute. 🙏

Sometime back in the early 20 teens, I had picked up a VTTBOTS Seaview kit on Amazon. Had no clue to lighting it, or the build process. Hadn't built a model in probably 2 decades. Found a You Tube video series from Boyd on the very same kit. It sparked me to start building again. I learned so much from his build series and from the live streams. Was so saddened to hear he had passed from complications to his cancer treatments. Was looking forward to his return to the livestream videos. Condolences to his family and friends. The modeling community is a little less bright without him.

This was a great tribute to Boyd, you did an outstanding job on this Jason.

Like Chris Cortell who passed away last year, Boyd was a favourite youtube modeller whose videos I looked forward to watch with anticipation. He will be sorely missed.

I was a big fan of Boyd and still is, we will miss him... I know I will he was the greatest when it comes to model building... Happy Modeling Boyd 😢

Fantastic tribute. Boyd was so amazing. Really going to miss him. He made it look so easy.

Aw, man, I loved watching his videos and enjoyed his consistent high quality builds and his friendly, generous demeanor. Big loss. RIP, Boyd. Great tribute, Jason. Cheers.

Jason, great Tribute video for Boyd. How I remember the early days of SFMA. Seem like a long time ago. Hope we can all get together again soon. Love the work you have been doing. Take care and hope to talk to you soon, my friend!

Nice work. 👍

How much does it cost to commission the 1/350 scale enterprise refit

Awesome! Good looking ship! You always do a nice job.

Where can I find that model in that scale. I would love to have one like that. The Bird of Pray is my favorite ship.

i have one question do you know of anyone who has ever built the Moebius 1/25 Dawn of Justice Batmobile Plastic Model Kit with moving parts because i would really like to lean how to do and install the parts for it to move the parts like the flaps the engine lighting up and stuff.

Its always the stickers and decals that gets me 😂

Good find on the kit, I just finished up my build for Wonderfest and my main bit of advise is to test fit the hull top and bottom alot, it is the only real problem area on the kit.

Cool model. Have a great build.

Been wanting this kit for a long time

Love this kit. Somehow I lost the canopy going to have to design one and print it out.

Take your time, Jason, we'll still be here ready to enjoy whatever project you're working on when you're up and running. Sweet kit! My best friend and I built a similar kit (may have been the same one?) back in high school. Was a fun build and looked awesome.

That'd be a cool one to build. It looks fairly large. I think it was Trekworks that built one awhile ago. Looking forward to the build!

Wishing you all the best during and after your transition!

The Starfleet ships on S1 of DSC look great (they were designed by John Eaves), but would be better suited to the 25th century timeline of ST:Picard, IMO.

That kinda sucks Jason, I hear you, take the time, bud. we'll wait for you, hope you'll find a good place and even a bigger workshop 😉😁. And hope that Trudope will get the boot and we're get rid of him.

Sorry you have to move :(

great sadness😢

I have never tried the tube method before, i do however position the LED's to shine onto these areas, but i also use the "Ratheon" effect too, ie light the spot light areas by the starfleet emblem, the combination of the two works very well.

Interesting. I actually never realized that spot light was intended to light the hull area. What is your source for the styrene tube and size?

Interesting I'll do that on my next model

Such great detail work

Jason! Did you know that a resin “neck” for the Enterprise B and Excelsior exist? To use the neck that’s provided in the kit, is a pain in the behind! The rasters or lines in the neck doesn’t align properly and you need to sand and re-scribe the lines towards each other! I’ve got a couple of them in my stash.

@JasonsModelShop There is also the GreenStrawberry aftermarket shuttlebays they have out too that will add detail to the kit. Too bad the saucer shuttlebay isn't plug and play unlike the Federation Models shuttlebay. The Green Strawberry one has you remove a large section of the saucer to install it. On the other hand that set also includes the secondary neck shuttlebays which are plug and play no mods necessary.

What are you going to use to keep the Windows lined up when you drill them out are up going to use the Place the Window Decals on then Drill Out the Windows method ?

very nice work!

That does look really sweet. I've done most of those (c and d are on the back burner) but that was before they added that one. 👍

Awesome Jason
