Silent Running Valley Forge (49 Inch) 1:650 Scale

Silent Running Valley Forge (49 Inch) 1:650 Scale

  Build this classic science fiction spacecraft "The Valley Forge".   The kit is nicely cast and comes with everything you need except Trees and foliage which can be obtained through your local hobby or train shop.  Due to the complexity of this model we recommend advanced modelers only.  Note: Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery these are very labor intensive to make.

Material: Resin and RP SLS & SLA

No. of Parts: Approximately 207

Notes:  The model of the Valley Forge was 26 feet (8 m) long, and took six months to build from a combination of custom castings and the contents of approximately 800 prefabricated model aircraft or tank kits. After filming was completed, American Airlines expressed an interest in sending the model on the tour circuit, but this was not feasible due to the fragile nature of the model (in fact, during filming pieces of the model kept falling off). The ship was subsequently disassembled after several years sitting in Douglas Trumbull's personal storage facility. Several pieces, including the domes, wound up in the hands of collectors. Several domes survive, including one that now rests in the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle, Washington, and another which was sold at auction in 2008.
