    May 1, 2012 - ds9 studio scale Enterprise: My 66" big E from Steve Neill. the last of the mohicans #1

    well, here we go, the beginning of the end of Steve's 66" enterprise.
    this is by far the largest endeavor Ive ever made when it comes to models. Ive watched Steve over the past year making his 66" model, and then into a kit, i never thought when i started watching the videos that i would end up buying one....much less the last one. the more i watched Steve building this the more i fell in love with this model and just had to have it.

    i loved to watch the tv show when i was young, and when i saw the 18" model in a store i had to have it, it was just the coolest thing to have the ship from the show in my very hands, much the same feeling i have now, it's the sense of aw, wonder and excitement we have as we are young and carry with us into adult hood, which given the site this is on, I'm sure we can all relate on some level

    i hope in the next coming months you enjoy the videos.

    if you have any suggestions or questions i would like to hear them. or if there is something you would like me to go over that has not been done, just let me know and i will make sure to include it on the video.


    the beginning of my journey into building this model starts..... at the end.


    these first three videos are of Steve Neil making the last kit, and the last of the videos from him on this model i suppose. it is also the beginning for the making and building of my kit.

    the last Epart1 - YouTube

    the last E part two - YouTube

    the last E Part 3 - YouTube


    this next video is of the receiving and unboxing of the kit

    Oh sure, do the exciting stuff when I'm not around! I come over, it's a sanding video. You ever record grass grow? Paint drying? J/K LMK when the women come back Jerry and I'll help "record" then.

    Looking good. Nice tip on using the hair dryer to speed up the Bondo, never thought of that.

    You need some more light for the vids, higher resolution would be nice too. I'd really like to see what you're doing

    thank you robn1-
    ive found just about everything that requires any kind of activator is thermo activated, so hit with some heat and it will cure quicker, this also works with silicones
    OK, after fiddling with my nhc video pad editor, i discovered that it's dummying down my videos, i cant seem to upload from the video pad to you tube directly and get hd quality video, but if i save it to my pc then upload to youtube i get hd ??? I'm not pc literate, so if any of you know what my problem is, please pm me

    i will also try to get the other vidys fixed

    If you're using a program with a built in "upload to youtube" function it probably uses a low res as default. If you can't change the resolution, try just uploading from your youtube page. Bear in mind that 30 minutes of HD will take a few hours at least to upload.

    OK, so dry fitting is all done, every thing is completely level, shes sitting on her own weight ( no stands to hold up the saucer ) , all bubbles centered...im so freaking happy i can %$#^&*(

    so now she comes apart and i start the real fun, drilling out windows and filling them with dental acrylic..still need to find a place that will sell to me I'm not a dentist lol, adding lights and all the electronics...fun fun fun

    a quick note, the pipe is not level, it needs to be adjusted, which i will do when i take her a part
