Here's the four page portfolio spread that's in the upcoming Sept/Oct Fine Scale Modeler:

Fine Scale Modeler magazine reached out a few months ago to submit a few images for a portfolio spread. Just announced today is the upcoming September/October issue featuring Endurance on the cover:

Sirocco in port.

Chair thief.

TychoTime Tuesday™ - One of the latest to the collection is this mint 2005 Zodiac Sea Dragon 100m quartz, ZO2201. Originally outfitted with a black leather strap, I opted to place this retro 20mm "gill" rubber dive band.

PanAm Eagle during painting MAY25.

Refurbishment of the PKD. Stripped the sticky paint from the pewter components and buffed it. I actually don’t mind the blaster in this brushed bare metal state.

Sunspot afternoon with CashewKitty.

The G ornament is slightly smaller than last year’s Titan-A.

“I was quit when I come in here, Bryant, I'm twice as quit now.”

I had pre-ordered these back in April. The store was already sold out so hopefully they will be restocking soon.

More cool stuff! My local Hallmark store called this morning to let me know the three Enterprise G ornaments I ordered have arrived. New for 2026, these die-cast metal (with plastic pylons and nacelles) ships come on the heels of last year's Titan-A.

There a just these few reserve copies of Volume One left. $50 includes shipping US domestic. DM if interested. I don’t expect these 6 will last long…

Scale reference provided by Zodiac.

Clear printed Bussard domes are airbrushed transparent orange. They are conical by design and preference.

Paint progress 1/1000 Excalibur. Hull shading is airbrushed with a slightly darker shade of the base color using the edge of a Post-It note.

Masking the mini-Merlin.

Of course!

Steady as she goes...

Plaque:

Big E in 1/537 scale.

1664 Ready for primer.

TychoTime Tuesday™ continues with a recently overhauled and all original 1971 vintage Seiko SpeedTimer 6139-7020.

Mini-Merlin will be registered as Excalibur.

TychoTime Tuesday™ - Back to the Future with my 1981 vintage Seiko dual analog/digital quartz H449-5000 in near mint condition.

Refurbished a rare 1976 Caravelle 333 diver. Polished acrylic crystal and new 19mm tropical strap.

The workbench doesn’t stay empty for long as another starship slides into the dockyard. This time, a 1/1000 scale mini-Merlin.

Profile Seeking.

I’m a big fan of their products. Now under the Planteray name.

Preparing the ingredients for this evening’s festivities.
