Fan Recreates Iconic STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN Battle with Motion Controlled Model Kits

This Nerdist article highlights a dedicated Star Trek fan, Steven Dunning, who meticulously recreated the iconic battle scene from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan using vintage model kits and custom modifications. Dunning spent years sourcing and painstakingly assembling over 100 model kits, including the USS Enterprise, USS Reliant, and various Klingon vessels, to bring the space battle to life on a 6’ x 4’ display board. He didn't just assemble the kits as-is; he meticulously modified them to be more accurate to the film, painting and lighting them to match their on-screen appearances, even creating custom warp and phaser effects. The article emphasizes the dedication and passion Dunning poured into this project, transforming readily available model kits into a stunning, large-scale tribute to a beloved cinematic moment.
