To be somewhat Enterprising....

Nice work.

This is gonna be a beautiful lady.

 

[Cybergrinder]

And now the deflector attached, with the pylon and neck supports test fitted.






Test fit....hmmm.... the pylons fit so snuggly I think they will stay there

 

[mijob]

Good job

 

[micahrogers]

Go with it, a good fit is important, so "don't Muck it up"

 

[Cybergrinder]

Now the major parts of the first warp nacelle ready, the stick is for support for the wiring

 

[Cybergrinder]

Wiring complete

 

[Revell-Fan]

The nacelle looks great!

 

[Cybergrinder]

One part I always struggled with in the past was lining up the sides of the nacelle with the tail section. To avoid that (should have thought of earlier..) was to attach the tail to the sides before attaching the main body of the nacelle, like such;

 

[Cybergrinder]

And a (almost) complete nacelle

 

[mijob]

thats a beauty

 

[Revell-Fan]

Very NICE!

 

[Cybergrinder]

Warp nacelles complete, now the torpedo launcher



Attached with the neck



I was a bit worried about the strength of the pylons, so some additional support added in the shape of stirring sticks

Seeing the wiring and planning of this, along with the detailed construction pics, is a real value to us!


ThankS~

Finally the saucer, here are the internal supports with the applicable LEDs, and required cut outs where required. I've mounted the supports slightly off centre so that I don't weaken the vertical supports for the positioning of the running light LEDs. You can also see where I miscalculated the positioning...




I'm not going to build the rooms that go along the rim, simply because you can see sweet bugger all through the windows, and that when it's normal scale! (Might be worthwhile on "monster" scale )

 

[Cybergrinder]

And here a branded frisbee.

Oh, wait. The top of the saucer section

 

[Cybergrinder]

So wiring complete for the saucer

 

[Cybergrinder]

And now the underside of the saucer

 

[Cybergrinder]

And here we have a saucer joined, with the rim

 

[zathros]

That has to be the best saucer you've made, one of the best I've seen.. It's awesome!!

 

[THE DC]

Very smooth work!!!

Which scale model version are you building again?
