ABOUT THE DESIGN

ABOUT THE KIT

Paramount's 1979 "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" featured, as its Act One set-piece, a tour of the orbital "Space Dock" where the new NCC-1701 refit was just being completed.  Participating in the construction were swarms of "Work Bees," tiny one-man spacepods that could be used for short-range transport.  The "Dual Workbee" used robotic arms to grab, hold and otherwise manipulate construction materials.  The craft was designed by "Star Trek" conceptual artist Andrew Probert.

This solid, all-resin 1/48-scale kit was released in 2003 by ACEng, a garage-kit company.  It featured internal magnets that allowed one to easily attach or remove the armature.

This model was built from an original issue.
