Re: 18" (TOS) AMT Enterprise

These are the 1st shots of it all together. Not done yet, still have to give it a coat of flat that i have to order because of the decals (good thing i did a test decal because it would have really been bad to find out the decals were not compatible with my clear on the ship) than weather and it should be done than.

Nice work there, Cylon75. I built this kit a few times as a kid and remember all the challenges involved.

You came up with a great way to get the nacelles attached with the rubber bands. Wow. That would have saved me alot of grief back then if that had occured to me.

:thumbsup

Re: 18" (TOS) AMT Enterprise

This is my 18" Enterprise that I just finished. Pretty much stock out of the box except for a few aftermarket decals. The last couple of photos are of my 3 recently made Enterprises together and in the display case.

Nice little display you've got there. Good work! The grid lines on the lower saucer worked better than I expected them to on the stock saucer (without modifications to the dimples or the rings).

I have this old kit.

But when I got it I was so disapointed with the extreme inaccuratte in all aspects... ...that I just forgot it, and it's still not assembled...

Now that better kits exist, the R2 very close to real 11foot, maybe the old AMT became a rarity, and its wrong design get interest of someone.
