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 conjuction with technology such as rotocasting, 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

SMT is currently on summer hiatus, returning back to work Sept 4th, 2014. Have a wonderful summer everyone and I look forward to seeing you in the fall.
Hanger scene and final details on the Eagle and check out the video of the sound in action!

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 seen in this images is not quite finished yet, but is coming along nicely. These are lightweight .060 vacuumform panels.
I will be doing a more detailed build up of this model, but in the meantime...
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.
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.
