"Correction, Bones. Those 4 ships don't know it's M-5's game."
Great episode, forgot about that ship.

Don't kow if you did this on purpose but your 3 photos match 3 angles in the episode exactly.
1- view of drifting Constellation on the viewscreen when first approached by Enterprise.
2- rear view flying into the planet killers maul.
3- side view was when scotty got impulse back. this scene looks very toy like on newer TVs. looked good on my parents 19" b/w TV when I was 7. :)

The effect on the nacelles looks great!!

Polar Light's 1/1000 kit. I built this kit as the wrecked USS Constellation as well, if you want to see that, let me know.


I recall reading that the wrecked USS Constellation from "The Doomsday Machine" (one of my favs) was constructed from the AMT kit for time and cost saving. In the remastered edition it's now cgi and looks much better, but I think that looses some of the charm of show. Much like cgi Yoda compared to the muppet & Frank Oz in The Empire Strikes Back.
And yes I'm that geeky.....

Love the models!

In Topic: 427 Ford SOHC engine source

What's up with the SOHC. I always heard it referred to as DOHC for double over-head cam? Not much of a Ford guy, that's just the way I've always heard it & read it. If they are 2 different configurations, I'm very curious to know the difference.


DOHC refers to an engine that has 2 camshafts per head. Common on inline 4 and 6 cylinders. If you had a DOHC v-8 you would 4 cams all together ( 1 exhaust and 1 intake cam per head )

Great response guys, thanks. I'll have to find a AMT  willys. Always liked the look of the motor.

Your detail work is excellent. I also applaud the exhaust finish. Can you give us a "how to"?
I'm following for sure.
