Default My 1/350 U.S.S. Enterprise

This one is near and dear to my heart. I built this 5 years ago. It's about three feet long and has a full lighting system, blinking navigation lights, rotating lights in the bussard collectors and an illuminated, fully finished hangar deck with the Gallileo parked on it. There are no decals on the model except for some tiny draft numbers. I airbrushed all the markings on it using paint masks.

WOW as a Trekkies I really like you model of USS Enterprise NCC 1701 A.

Is it a model you have build by month from Fanhome/De'Agostini ?

Oh man, that is really impressive! Goodness, that's studio level work.

Yes I did build the base myself using a shadow box and a piece of mirrored plexiglas. I needed it to support the model as well as provide controls to turn on the lighting and bussard collector rotation.

Mapuc - no this is the Polar Lights/Round 2 1/350 Enterprise kit which I have modified a fair bit. I added photon torpedo tubes and phaser banks (which weren't on the original model in the show but should have been in my opinion) as well as a number of other accurizing details. I used some really high resolution photos of the original 11 foot model in the Air and Space Museum as reference and I took a few personalizing liberties to make it "my ideal original Enterprise".

I also have a kit for the Enterprise A from the films in the same scale sitting on the shelf along with another from the Abrams films.

I should say that I'm sorry if I have made something wrong.

I follow some people on yt who build models from these companies-They are Fanhome, De'Agostini, Agora, IXO and so on.

And all of these build you have shown is also available during these companies.

I have seen World of Wayne and others build these models on monthly basis.

I've seen World of Wayne build the Agora-Leopard 2A6.
I've seen forgot his name-Build this Enterprise.

I should perhaps send my 1/16 scale model of this Tiger tank to you-so you could paint it for me
(I have a thread about this model in this subforum)

Hey Mapuc, nothing to be sorry for my friend!

And sure, I'd be happy to paint your tank for you.
