Starting work on the 1:350 TOS Enterprise.
I frosted the outsides of both the inner and outer Bussard domes, and the insides of the bridge and sensor domes. The inner Bussard domes have the strips from the Aztec Dummy window masking set. I also put white styrene discs inside the saucer domes to give more of a diffused glow. I'm not using the optional visible bridge or hangar bay details, but I will be attempting to light the model.
After I finished working on the domes, I added the pylon reinforcement parts #53 and #54 inside the secondary hull. Also put everything together for a test fit to see how it looks so far. I'm still collecting other items I need for the build. I have the photo-etch for the engine grills and pylon vents, and the window masking set. I haven't yet decided on the lighting I will use, but if I don't use the Polar Lights set, I'll need to find a clear version of parts #27 & #28 somewhere else.
