kruleworld Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 The 37s i decided the truck featured in ST:Voyager episode 'The 37s' . They find it floating in space, apparently taken from earth in 1937 and belongs to a farmer who was kidnapped by aliens. The truck is presented in the episode as a dirty, maybe rusty old vehicle, but they were kidnapped in 1937, so the truck should have been brand new, but then again, they say it's been floating in space for 300 years, so maybe the exposure to radiation caused the paint to look flat? unfortunately, no model of the 36 ford pickup is available, but revell has a 37 ford pickup. it's built box-stock, but i added acrylic weathering paints, which also took the gloss off the paint (quite nicely). The base is a diecast left-over base, i painted it in voyager's colours... primer grey and then did the center section in galmet beige paint.
Dr. Cranky Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Great idea, wonderful execution. Once a Trekkie always a Trekkie!
62rebel Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 wait till the descendants of the owners get hit with all the back registration fees and taxes.... not to mention the recovery bill! i hope the geico gecko (anole, from his color) doesn't get squashed. i stopped watching the derivatives of ST after TNG was cancelled, until Enterprise began, and then fizzled out. i never knew they had ANY Earth vehicles aboard any of the Starships! great looking build, with the rust in the right places!
robertw Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 When we think movie or TV vehicles we usually think of the best known ones, ie Bullit, Gone in 60 Seconds.........etc. It is very cool to see builds of obscure vehicles such as this. Well done. rob
kingtoy Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Very nice obscure build. I love it when other people like myself notice randoms cars in TV shows, even if they are there briefly.

Well done. rob My collection of models is quite large, so i thought maybe if i restricted myself to one subject (tv/movie star cars) it might help. it doesn't. if you can find an obscure subject, there's not much you can't model. This truck should have a covered spare wheel, which apparently is in the 37 panel kit, Does anyone have a spare one or not used theirs? Edited March 20, 2012 by kruleworld
Chuck Most Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Love this! One of the few Voyager episodes I distinctly recall. Centuries of floating around in the vacuum of space must slow rust down pretty well.
Jim B Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Wonder if you could find any 1/25 figures you could convert into Star Fleet personnel. You could replicate the sceen in the cargo bay.
