BRINGING THE GALAXY HOME IN A BOX
Welcome to Scale Model Technologies.
Since 1997 SMT has been delivering unique miniatures and model kits to collectors and modellers worldwide.
Over the past 16 years my prototyping and skill set has brought some of the most sought after model kits and miniatures to reality under the SMT brand name.
My primary goal is to deliver an accurate and well thought out miniature that represents a true image of the subject.
I use time honored "old school" techniques in conjunction with technology such as roto-casting, resin injection and thermoforming to deliver an accurate and appropriate solution.
Enjoy your visit with SMT, I hope you see something you like and let your imagination take shape!
Sincerely, Colin Omilusik

New this month
I finally have gotten around to casting those
studio scale SPV tires that have been sitting here in the
SMT shop for the past few years!
Once the initial customer ordered sets are done shipping I will offer
limited sets for sale, so be sure to email if you want a set. This will be
a very low volume production run cast in a shore 80 rubber.
I plan to offer up a set of detail parts for studio scale SPV builders that will
include all the needed bits to add to a studio scale body!

Now that Round2 is coming out with an Eagle lab pod and spine booster it reminded me of the resin accessory
kit that I used to offer in the early 2000's.
At one point the series also included three laser tanks in 1/76 scale. They were crafted by Michael Denzter and sold by SMT. After the cease and desist order from Carlton, I believe the tanks were sold to Jim Small of SmallArtWorks.
I do believe I will pull out the parts and build them up to go with my Eagle diorama!

MPC EAGLE 2 and hanger diorama
I wasn't going for a complete accurate studio model, but a better representation with what is available.
The hanger itself is not yet complete and I made a small minor change. I moved the sound control building now to the front right so no reaching over the display to press a button (in hindsight I could have moved the controls outside the display) oh well. I've added working lights to the engine display stand and test cart.
This is the MPC/Ertl Eagle transporter. I have used about 90% of the kit along with adding a few things and reworking some sections. Overall the kits is not as bad as it looks initially and builds into a very nice replica with a little effort.
The hanger wall panels were first created in a wood shape and then grouped to make a resin form. This was then
vacuumformed over to create lightweight .060 vacuumform panels.
Main things I added/modified...
Create hollow cages from the kit parts and created corridors to go inside with raised detail including the doors.
I added a door to the back of the head and created a more correct profile to the back of the head. The head is removable and will feature an interior.
I corrected the two landing gear pods to re-arrange their details for face correctly. I added better looking landing gear though I left the feet alone in the incorrect 6x6 tile configuration.
Added the Saturn V baffles to the engines.
The middle pod has an interior (not quite complete) that slides in and out with the base.
I created and added chrome thruster nozzles on the command head and recreated the majority of decals used on Eagle 2. All work/parts were created in house at SMT.
The engine section was reworked to more closely resemble the studio models.
I've added an interior to the command head of the Eagle. This is tiny. I CAD the consoles and scaled most every button and gauge to fit into the cockpit. There is some fiddling because of real life size set to miniature differences as with most miniature to real life set recreations, but it works well.
I've now added in an LED to the cockpit for the glow as we saw in the show.

Technical markings
Technical markings for 44", 22" and 11" transports created in vector format so I can resize as needed for various builds. A combination of waterslide decals and vinyl stickers for the logos and orange markings.
Based on photo study of the models and old Letraset markings and Sasco stickers. 
Technical markings for the SHADO mobiles created at studio scale size in vector format so they can resized as needed. Background is colored in the example so you can see the text.
