For Christmas last year my wife got me the 350 Refit Enterprise, but due to work and grad school, I have not been able to do anything on it other than collect detail parts, trekworks lighting kit, etc. Now that I have launched the build this is what I have done so far....
removing the trees and what not from the lounge and arboretum wasn't too bad. But the shuttle bay floor had some seriously deep marks from the ejection pins.... so fill and sand....
Installed photo etch parts and still waiting for it to warm up enough to prime.
And just for kicks I magnetized all the docking ports so the Vulcan shuttles and travel pods can be attached at whim.
Im now drilling out the holes per the TrekModeler guide for the lighting kit, so not much to see there. It looks like I can start priming tomorrow, so I'll black prime then white prime as required for light blocking or light bouncing. Oh and BTW, I am now 99% sure this ship will not be the Enterprise, thou I will follow the paint guide for TMP style Enterprise. Any one have any guidance on making high quality decals for the ship?
